Alain was power creep, could defeat Tobias using only his Charizard

Assuming Paul got a mega he'd win. Alian doesn't have protag powers to protect him against Paul's edge.

That is seriously a retarded argument. Everyone knows the plot armor wears off on the final round to give room for 15 more seasons of the same shit.

Paul is just the Sinnoh version of Silver. However, he's still better than Alain.

Paul is a more talented trainer compared to Alain. Alain simply brute forces his way through everything with his Zard. Paul would notice this and devise a counter measure. Paul is all about strategy.

Paul is the anime equivalent of caring about IVs when training. Would probably destroy Alain if he also spot trained (EVs).

Um, no. Tobias is still the most powerful trainer Ash has ever faced. It was a miracle that Ash even took out 2 of his Pokemon even though he was so good in Sinnoh.

Paul for the most part had a developed team that had time to grow as both characters and adversaries. Alain pulled 5 pokemon out of his ass with zero training and defeated one of Ash's strongest teams just so the writing team could prove a point.

Paul's Electivire and Drapion could cover with Light Screen and Toxic Spikes while his Torterra could sweep half of Alain's team (including his Charizard) with just Stone Edge.

In retrospect, it was more of legitimate bad luck on Ash's part for what he registered. Rewatching the battle shows that Ash's prime objective was to wear down the Darkrai known for sweeping teams at the conference. Heracross and Gible were so close to winning. If he didn't waste a slot with Torkoal, he would have had a better chance.

well considering Ash's Infernape and the rest of his Sinnoh team was still recovering from the Battle between Paul, he had little choice. Although seeing Infernape and Sceptile finish off Darkrai would have been awesome.

That actually shouldn't be the case since Pikachu was there.

Alain was a well developed character but a terrible rival. There was nothing personal at stake, making the fights feel empty. Ash's training didn't make a lick of difference. He lost the Sinnoh league but at least he accomplished something by beating Paul, and doing best against Tobias. He accomplished literally nothing against Alain.

XY was fucking terrible outside of occasional sakuga, and the soundtrack.

Why would you do that? That doesn't make sense since he knows Tobias would be his toughest challenge. It is obvious that he couldn't use his past pokemon.

This. If Paul is actually getting stronger while Ash is "learning" he'd be able to take the win with a Mega.

Probably Paul. He's the type of trainer to find and exploit flaws in direct-powerhouse trainers like Alain.

Alain is basically the same as Ash in that he uses so many same-y types in his party that anyone with a bit investment can sweep his team. Paul knows how to do that so he would win.

Torkoal is one of Ash's pokemon that is inherently skilled but keeps getting unfortunate match-ups.

How is a battle with a Pokémon weak to fire an “unfortunate matchup”? Torkoal was the Down syndrome retard of his team. Also until pikachu evolves he will be a drag.

Outside of maybe Snorlax, Ash sucks using slow pokemon, which is half the reason why Raichu never happened aside from marketing.

Alain is a zardfag. People didn't even know he used other pokemon until the final fight, fuck him.
