>Within 50 episodes of DP, Ash has made one rival along with two supporting rivals>Within 50 episodes of XY, Ash has made no rivalsBy the 50th episode, Sanpei, Shauna, Milliefuei, Trevor, and Tierno had already debuted
>DP gym leaders fight Ash with different strategies to cover their weaknesses>XY gym leaders fight ash with the same methods in an attempt to overpower himEvery Gym Leader in XY used specific strategies to cover their weaknesses or to overwhelm Ash
>DP roster gives all pokemon a chance to shine>XY roster primarily focuses on making Froakie/Frogadier and Pikachu look goodThis isn’t true, Pikachu was actually the LEAST used in this season than any other. Talonflame fought in every gym battle except ONE. Hawlucha fought in every gym battle except TWO, and those were the first two before he was caught. Even Noivern, who was a late capture like Gible, got major screentime when XY&Z came around.
Nice try, faggot
