>>22433578I know man, but the manga is full of lazy designs and scenaristic shortcuts, and this is not the worst part of it. At one point I just decided to disregard the inconsistencies, because the plot would certainly not be able to withstand an analysis, deep or shallow.
>>22433678I'm pretty sure it's stated he won.
Like I said I strongly dislike the writer's exclusive characters. They're clichés, over-japanized and really don't fit with the pokemon theme which is supposed to be rather sober.
I'll just mention Cynthia's repulsive grandmother as an example.
The writer really takes huge liberties with something that doesn't belong to him, I find that pretty disgusting.
