>>42936295>If Ash had lost you'd be complaining that he reverted to his BW self but now that he's won, he turns into a Gary Stu? How was it a pity win anyway when Ash fair and square defeated all of Kukui's pokemon and also defeated Tapu Koko in the end?Ash defeated Kukui pretty effortlessly and Kukui ended up looking bad as a jobber that couldn't put up a decent fight, so yes he is a Gary Stu and got a pity win as an apology for Kalos.
>What more resolution did they even need?Mohn showing up at least, after all the time wasted in the Lusamine family they didn't even solve their problem.
Kiawe and Lana got no redemption after being humiliated in the league and Kiawe further jobbed in a pathetic 1 minute battle just to make Ash even more of a Gary Stu.
Mallow getting an unearned Shaymin form change only for him to fuck off without any build up or emotional weight, then she continues uselessly cooking.
James told Mareanie that they will keep trying after losing to Gladion and then never fought again.
Kukui never had any bonding moment with Ash until the very end so suddenly pretending they were a family was shoehorned and empty.
Ash didn't have any final conversation with his "friends" or any sort of farewell party, he just fucked off to the plane without even caring, everyone else had to chase after him like a bunch of rejected betas.
Too many loose ends. How was this ending good?
