>>51735314>His current team's strength makes sense since most of them started off at later stagesOh yeah, you mean like the Gengar which was such a massive shitter that his OG trainer abandoned him?
Besides, If being "caught fully evolved" was enough reason to justify a Pokemon being Champion level then there's over a dozen of Pokemon Ash already owns that fit that category. Why aren't they Champion level too then? I'm using your own logic here, you know?
>and the ons that didn't got strong quickly because this tournament of 10,000 of the strongest trainers around had more of a challenge to give than wandering around in a baby tier badge run. It's no different from how you power level Pokemon in the games via harsher conditions.By using your own logic then there was no reason to not use the reserves. They would have grown through the PWC battles just like you say is the reason why the PM strong is so retarded strong.
>You people act like it wouldn't be dumb writing for Ash's previous Pokemon who all lost regional tournaments to suddenly come back and be World Tournament tier out of nowhere.Makes more sense than seeing the Pokemon whose amount of on-screen battles you can count with one hand. It's bad when the reserves would be Champion-tier out of nowhere according to you but it's okay when the PM team does it? Don't be an hypocrite.
>Not everything is about callbacks and nostalgia and ths series never made it the main selling point, but hardly any of you actually watch it so you wouldn't know that.Except one of Journeys main points has literally been callbacks and nostalgia. Or are you acting like all those characters cameos and returns do not exist? Or do they not magically count according to you?
