This final anime arc was the most contradictory shit ever, it's done for "nostalgia" bringing back all previous big characters AND THEN SHITS ON THEM.
LEON JUST ONE-SHOTS HIS WAY THROUGH ALAIN, DIANTHA and I forgot if there was someone else LANCE JOBS AT THE START, AND ASH SOMEHOW BEATS CYNTHIA AND STEVEN which was meant to happen but it's so unearned, Ash never showed the level to accomplish that in previous series.
But, now he's battling Leon who can low-diff other champions BECAUSE HE'S THE NEWEST AND SHINIEST ONE.
This just brings back nostalfags to punch them in the dick.


Oh, and no Charizard. Not from Ash at least. If you're doing nostalgia, that's the ONE thing you had to get right (that or Mewtwo)
