>>46551916>make a new character that looks and acts like he’d have an edgelord Pokémon like Greninja, even has a dumb looking scarf to match>give him a Charizard so they could shill Mega-Evolution>Ash already owns a Charizard, which is already his second most popular Pokémon altogether>give him a Greninja with super-special totally unique powers instead of just setting up his Charizard to learn how to Mega-Evolve>have it job anyways to the new character’s Charizard, and to a fucking Blast Burn of all thingsYou could shill Mega-Evolution, Charizard and Greninja AND still have Ash lose to Alain in the end if you just swap those two Pokémon around.
