Hello I am new here. My favorite series is XY.

Hi, welcome to Bulba and the pokeani forum!

I didn't watch most of XY (plan to catch up sometime) but loved what I did see. Ash's battle against Clemont was one of the best battles out there, and the Japanese XY&Z opening was also awesome <3

One of the best Gym battles, definitely, but I think we've seen better overall battles in the anime.

Yeah, we definitely have, but it's still high up there in my favorites list. They did really well with art direction and music. It was super impactful!

But Ash vs Kukui will permanently retain that #1 spot for favorite battle to me. \o/

Ooh, same! The animation and actual battle itself was just so amazing...

Hopefully this is the right topic to share this. After watching one of Pokeraf's videos, I saw this video in my recommended section:


View: https://youtu.be/A6-Mx21bRj0


Yes, it's a Goh related video. However, I think it's worth watching. The video has gotten a lot of views in the span of a day and the guy did a great job at dissecting this subject in my opinion.

I think Ash catching 30 Tauros back in season 1 was originally planned to be a one-off thing. Unlike Muk and Krabby/Kingler, Ash didn't use any of them in battle for the entirety of the Indigo League arc. My guess is it was just meant to be a joke that he was trying to catch many Pokémon but only caught Tauros because they kept running in his line of aim, and then they'd never be seen again once the joke had been said and done. Would fit the type of humor and writing that season 1 is known for. And then the anime ended up becoming longer than just one season, and this joke had to be lived with for the sake of continuity, even if Ash was never going to use most of his Tauros in battle.

Funnily enough however, Tauros has gotten more screentime than Kingler and Muk combined because of it. So in the end, it wasn't such a bad decison after all.

Yeah, it could be the case indeed. Just checked here on Bulbapedia, the Miniryuu episode aired in late-1997, a little before the Pokemon Shock. I assume the anime hadn't been extended until after the incident took place, thus making that possibility perhaps possible. For me it seems like a joke as well, especially in the end when Ookido-hakase is stamped by them during the capture reveal.

And now remembering, the first time Satoshi used one of his Kentaros was in the finals of the Orange League, long after it got caught.

Muk has appeared in every series exept XY tho

Yeah, but didn't get a dedicated battle episode during the Battle Frontier and Sinnoh League, unlike Tauros, who got a battle in the Battle Frontier and then a rematch against the same person.

So does anyone know what exactly determines Ash's "ace" for each league? Like, is Greninja really one of Ash's "aces"?! Specifically for the Kalos league?! Because last I checked, the only significant thing it did was beat Sawyer's Sceptile.

It's considered Ash's Ace since it was the Gen 6 Shillmon and had the most Development out of all the Kalos Team

Development as in strength? What development exactly did it have? As far as I'm concerned, Pikachu was Ash's ace for Kalos(and ignoring the blatant factor that the other pokemon just got annoyingly shafted to the side...). The shillmon thing seems more likely, though its annoying that it's considered the ace for that reason. I guess I just think it's overrated, since it has little personality, and didn't have much development. It got stronger-big deal: its first official battle had it defeating a god damn onix. It getting stronger is not significant, it doesn't have anything notable about its personality, so I agree with what you say about it being the Gen 6 shillmon, but disagree about it getting the most development, because it didn't.

 

[Jewel the Quaxly]

Are you being intentionally sarcastic or ignorant by any chance? Do I really need to count everything Greninja got

...I dunno, ignorant? I edited the post like three times so...more of me being an idiot if anything.

But what exactly do you mean when you say "everything Greninja got"? I think you might have gotten some parts of your post deleted because I don't understand what you're asking...

All in all though, in general, I just think that Greninja's overrated(probably should stop mentioning it constantly tho...). Yeah, its strong, I don't disagree, but it being the ace of Kalos just feels a bit iffy to me. I don't recall any significant development to its character out of Ash's kalos pokemon-I think Goodra got more development, honestly.

I quoted you while you were mid edit I guess since it only had the first three lines when I quoted you, suddenly the rest popped up and I deleted my comment since it just chalks up to everyone having different definitions of ace and your clear distaste of greninja, so I felt that there was nothing of value for me to add.

Meh, it happens. Though I apologize if I came off as ignorant beforehand.
