>>51288073Holy fuck are XYfags desperate to make their shitter of a league look better then the M8.
>The animation is like 50-70% of the enjoyment in this show, unless you think ANY of the seasons have ever had actually good writing. But beyond that we have >The only thing the M8 has to its name is using screens + Haxorus hacking outrage confusion.Try watching the fights again, this time with your eyes open.
>The Kalos League had expert positioning and dynamic use of the environment>Rock Tomb Tomb in the fight against SawyerThat wasn't RTT, Ash even used a similar tactic in his Paul league battle, and that was just Ash winging it mid battle, as he often does.
>We could've gotten Ash vs Alain, Steven vs Alain, Alain vs Diantha, Iris vs Lance, Iris vs Ash and ALL of those would've had more meaning and emotional investment to then our round 1 barring Iris vs CynthiaWhile I agree with you on this, the M8 being able to be better then it is right now doesn't make it worse the the Kalos league.
>Ash's entire arc in the final stretch of the show was about his fear of falling behind and failing to live up to expectations again, his match against Sawyer is the strong end to that storyline and the assurance that Ash was READY for the finals.The arc, whic was introduced and concluded within the span of 3 episodes, was already done by the point of the Sawyer battle, Ash said as much himself during their monologues in the void dimension thingy. The actual battle was devoid of any actual emotional beats from the two.
>And that's not even getting into the set up for the finale, where people were absolutely screaming for Ash to win after his two loses to Alain. Meanwhile no one gives a shit about Ash vs Leon, we care more about Ash vs Cynthia, a fight that was actually set up.Retards caring more about something =/= it being good
>a move he mastered right at the beginning of XY, bookending the story at that pointAsh got the lead with Steven from his training with Paul.
