>>41160868>KantoLost pretty shittily but it IS sensible for Ash to lose his first league.
>JohtoLost to a veteran trainer, who then lost to the winner.
>HoennWas on a similar level to Tyson, who won the league.
>SinnohWas the 2nd strongest trainer in the entire league, considering the other trainer in the final couldn't even handle Darkrai.
>UnovaWe don't talk about Unova.
>KalosInstead of ranking up in status, he just became 2nd strongest in a lackluster as fuck league. And don't bring up MUH SAWYER. Alain swept everyone he fought, Sawyer only beat Tierno by abusing Mega Evolution via raw power and Sawyer was so weak that Ash-Greninja trashed a Mega SCEPTILE. The only two trainers worth shit there are Ash and Alain, and Ash fundamentally did no better than he did in Sinnoh and Hoenn.
To clarify:
>KantoAsh was bottom of the barrel in the Top 16.
>JohtoAsh made it to the Top 8 and lost to a veteran, who lost to the winner.
>HoennAsh became the veteran that lost to the winner.
>SinnohAsh was stronger than everyone, losing to a Legendary trainer stronger than every other opponent Ash has ever face
>KalosAsh didn't grow any further. Alain's over-levelled Charizard beat Malva's Houndoom, sure, but her Base Houndoom would trash Base Charizard due to Flash Fire, none of Alain's other pokemon are even close to his Charizard and Alain's Charizard wasn't even fucking damaged by Ash's Greninja in the league match.
>AlolaAsh wins the league, defeating a veteran trainer using a legendary, his personal ace and his father's ace.
