>>35783767By anime standards, even if he HASN'T won a League Tourney aside from the Orange Islands, he's still extremely impressive on the sole merit of having traveled to 7 (8 if the Orange Islands Count) regions, conquering the Battle Frontier, doing a swell job of taking care of his Pokemon, and has had far too many run-ins with Legendaries and Mythicals that most people would die to even meet.
By any other medium's standards, he fucking sucks.
