>>27874454Tobias was a bullshit loss, but I think they made Alan an even worse loss. Against Tobias, it made sense that Ash lost, he had no chance from the very start.
Against Alan, they kept us on hold until the very last second, because we knew Greninja could beat Charizard. We knew that Ash could beat Alan. But after all the buildup and hype, and almost practically spelling his victory out, they just decided that no, he was going to lose this time, because after all, Ash is not allowed to ever win a league.
