Okay so I haven't touched the anime ever since the end of the second generation or so, still watched other movies, and I decided to jump on the XY boat today
>has actual good fighting strategy
>runs after a rampaging friendly-firing Garchomp
>climbs a fucking tower just to take off the ring
>is willing to jump on said crazed Garchomp, who could have easily clawed/bitten down on him
>immediately suicide-jumps after falling Pikachu
I can't decide if Satoshi has become more based or more reckless. Probably both.
