>>36121261Gary was a pathetic trainer. He focused more on quantity than quality. Yes, he had plenty of evolved Pokemon, but all of them were very weak. Gary lost to some scrub in the top 32 in the Kanto League. In the Johto League, he lost to the "underdog" Ash (who was also a very weak trainer). This is how he did:
- Ash's Heracross, which he BARELY used, defeated Gary's Magmar despite a massive type disadvantage.
- Ash's Snorlax, which he also barely used, effortlessly defeats Arcanine and Nidoqueen .
- Ash's Charizard defeats Scizor, Golem, and Blastoise almost entirely by itself, despite a massive type disadvantage against Golem and Blastoise. What's more; he defeated the Golem with a single attack. This is the same Charizard that Ash had to release into the wild just so it can get this strong.
Paul was a much better trainer than Gary the scrub.
