>>58357970About how Leon was a hype merchant who got obnoxiously badly written battles and victories and previously established characters to prop him up completely disrespecting the old characters and he got wanked so hard that Ash defeating him became borderline impossible to believe and even to this day people still call the fight bullshit because Ash was just barely able to eke out a win despite Ash using all three gimmicks and then Amie buffs as the cherry on top of the cake.
If you want a more clear example of plot armor for Leon: there's how Diantha managed to Psychic grab the Wildfire and Airstream, combine them... and Leon just overpowers that with just a normal Wildfire. Just because fuck you.
And let's not even mention the meme gorilla sweep.
All because were in Gen 8 and so Gen 8 had to be shilled. Had we been in Gen 9 Geeta would have been the one getting wanked like crazy like that instead.
The sad thing is that in his first appearance it was nowhere near like that. Leon vs Lance was a pretty close even match. No idea why decided to do such a 180 because instead of hype all it did was kill any of it because of how unrealistically stupidly strong they made him.
>inb4 he's just supposed to be that strong broCongrats. That's the whole point. It's lame and gay and makes for an uninteresting storyline as a whole.
>Plot armor is about characters inexplicably surviving not “I think this character should be stronger”That's not what plot armor means either.
