>>47038815>In DP, Ash also utilized ingenious techniques like Counter Shield, spinning, and using the battlefield to his advantage.Which he brought back in PM.
>early XYEarly XY gym leaders were far superior to their game counterparts. Grant's Tyrunt and Draco Meteor, and Korrina used her Mega Lucario in the gym battle. If anything, the Kalos gym leaders were buffed heavily in the XY anime, and Ash still beat them convincingly.
>Diantha held back to test Ash-Greninja’s power.Diantha didn't expect Greninja to be as strong as he was and was panicking.
>Alain battle was not even close.They were both down to one pokemon each.
>Just after that league ended, Ash and Alain struggled against Lysandre’s team. They needed seven Pokémon to defeat two of his, solely to make the Team Flare arc more climactic. Is Lysandre stronger than Ash then?Yes, it makes sense for Lysandre to be stronger than XY Ash. He was Malva's boss and the main antagonist of XYZ so he should be champion tier at the very least.
>>47038815>Against Korrina, Ash had no viable strategy and copied another trainer’s strategy.There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. If anything, it shows how high Ash's battle IQ is since he recognized how viable Tierno's dance strategy can be. Keep in mind that Tierno made it to the higher placements of the Kalos league without any megas.
>He should have known from AG and DP the error of copying someone else, yet he does so anyway.There's nothing wrong with copying someone. All that matters is how the technique is utilized.
>If Ash is as strong and skilled as you claim to be, why does he still make rookie mistakes, even now?Because it's normal for people to mess up every now and then? Ash's only major losses in PM were against Leon and Bea. You make it seem like he's been jobbing consistently throughout the series.
