>>29494570Thing is, the writers chose to gave him that Pokemon. The writers chose to have Ash face him, and the writers chose to have Ash lose to him in what is probably his most embarrassing defeat in the whole series (which is saying a lot). If the writers choose to write Ash in a way that made him look as stupid, if not more stupid than his useless opponents, then you can shit on the writers all you want but it won't stop it from being what happened.
Besides, he constantly did retarded shit that whole region so it's not like him losing to an idiot was even really out of the norm by then.
>>29494592It's really hard to argue he's one of the best trainers in the animeverse when we've just finished a series that spent a lot of its time talking about how awesome he is, gave him a super Pokemon that only he has, then proceeded to make him lose anyway.
If they make him an idiot in SM again you'll have your confirmation that the writers just enjoy watching you guys suffer. Sorry.
