>>58341771>I assume you think the entire SV cast would have been treated better with Ash in front of the anime.Well when Ash was in the show, the region champions didn't not jobbed to newbies and random nobodies.

>>58341909>>58341909>I'd rather be run over by a fucking snorlax with diarrhea than see Nemona turned into one of """Ash's girls""".Lets see , if Ash was in the series than Nemona's destined rival and treasure would have been the world champion that defeated Leon, Cynthia and Steven. The anime probably had to buff Nemona more than her game counterpart to be the rival of the world champion. Furthermore the anime wouldn't let her lose to Ash in a random episode, they would have done a lot of build-up for Ash and Nemona's climatic battle. I wouldn't be surprise if the anime made Ash lose to Nemona in their first fight to build up hype for their actual final showdown.
Heck Nemona probably could have been one of the Master Eight in place of Alain. Instead Horizons introduce a weak Nemona who was nerfed to make Roy look better and her fans has to come up with various excuses to cope.
