May has three ribbons and hasn't shown any indication she ABSOLUTELY needs this ribbon back in jouto, so unless she says otherwise she does not need this win.I'm also not sure what to feel... I wanted May to win but I also didn't want Dawn to lose third Contest in a row
But being able to make it to the final battle and give a good battle to May could also be considered as a confidence boost and a good achievement... it's just weird to see May come for this Contest only to lose especially when Dawn is going to have all of DP (and possibly after DP too) to shine while this is probably going to be May's only appearance for a long time
I really think May should won this... but at least we can be happy for Dawn
As I already said Dawn has all of DPMay has three ribbons and hasn't shown any indication she ABSOLUTELY needs this ribbon back in jouto, so unless she says otherwise she does not need this win.
Dawn from how i see things needs this more now than ever because some portions of the fandom believe she needs to back out of contests due to how poorly she's done and unless she starts to turn around now she might not be able too in the future.
But Ash and Sceptile had battle experience so they could battle well without losing (and Ash watched enough Contests to know he should pay attention to the points and time)I still don't see why people are using experiance as logic to why she can't beat May either, Ash without a ribbon to his name battled may to a draw in his first ever contest and people don't see that as a big deal so why does this matter?
Just some very little differences (like the light and dark blue swithces places)The ribbons look different. Fake?
You act like May didn't get anything from her visit, or does Glaceon ring any bells? Besides i could care less if she is cameo'ing, she had her time in the limelight now it is Dawn's turn.As I already said Dawn has all of DP
And May in contrast to Dawn has probably this only one apperance for a long time
If Dawn hadn't lost twice in a row i'd probably agree, but from how bad she lost those contests, she needs a great rebound by winning a contest against someone like May and this is her only shot.So it'd be better to let May win to shine in the little time she has now and let Dawn win the next Contest
Not to mention getting to the final battle and give May a good battle is enough to show Dawn she can do better
So what, they did not have to enter a contest and Sceptile was plain as day restrained by the rules and would've flat out kicked Blaziken's butt if they choose to have a normal battle but went for a contest instead and Ash did tie with her, deal with it.But Ash and Sceptile had battle experience so they could battle well without losing (and Ash watched enough Contests to know he should pay attention to the points and time)
Not to mention the purpose of that Contest was to let the AG heroes tie
Should be thankful we're seeing her at all.This time the Contest is the first time we see May after more than a year she wasn't even mentioned and probably the only time we'll get to see her in the near future
So what if she's experianced, so is Ash yet he still loses to trainers and gl's all the freaking time, say it's his new pokemon's fault all you want, but if he was as experianced as he should be, he could easily take those pokemon and pwn gl's like paul is but he can't even do that.Isn't that better to let May shine since Dawn still have all of the DP? sure it is... and May being more experienced just add another reason for her to win
Glaceon wasn't the reason she came back... if they wanted her to show Leafeon or Glaceon and that's it than she could just appeared at Eterna forest or at Snowpoint to let us actually see Eevee evolve...You act like May didn't get anything from her visit, or does Glaceon ring any bells?
Winning this Contest wouldn't make May steal from Dawn... and as I said could still cheer up DawnBesides i could care less if she is cameo'ing, she had her time in the limelight now it is Dawn's turn.
People at Serebii are important why?...I don't care if she does have all of DP Dawn needs to win now to prove to people she can be in the GF as we have people over at serebii who believe she needs to refrain from entering the GF from how "poorly" she's done so far.>>
It'd still have the same result - Dawn being happy she won and gets out of her despressionIf Dawn hadn't lost twice in a row i'd probably agree, but from how bad she lost those contests, she needs a great rebound by winning a contest against someone like May and this is her only shot.
Do you think beating Zoey, Kenny again or some one shot coordinator is gonna be as momentus as her possibly beating someone like May? I don't think so.
That was just a reason they made up for them to battleSo what, they did not have to enter a contest
We can't know who would winand Sceptile was plain as day restrained by the rules and would've flat out kicked Blaziken's butt if they choose to have a normal battle but went for a contest instead
I didn't say Ash didn't tie with her X_Xand Ash did tie with her, deal with it.
Why? it'd be stupid to not show her... they never forget old main characters and so it should be (not to mention how similar May and Dawn are it'd be extremely stupid to not let them meet)Should be thankful we're seeing her at all.
And who says these Gym leaders and trainers aren't experienced too?So what if she's experianced, so is Ash yet he still loses to trainers and gl's all the freaking time,
Just like the trainer the Pokémon need to get stronger toosay it's his new pokemon's fault all you want, but if he was as experianced as he should be, he could easily take those pokemon and pwn gl's
Who says Paul doesn't use his experienced Pokémon?like paul is but he can't even do that.
Then why go up to Snowpoint instead of coming to the contest directly?Glaceon wasn't the reason she came back... if they wanted her to show Leafeon or Glaceon and that's it than she could just appeared at Eterna forest or at Snowpoint to let us actually see Eevee evolve...
The important thing in these episodes is the Contest and not Glaceon
Actually it is stealing from Dawn because she hasn't stated she absolutely needs this ribbon, Dawn on the other hand does need it to get off her losing streak, which i doubt "having a good battle" is going to fix.Winning this Contest wouldn't make May steal from Dawn... and as I said could still cheer up Dawn
At the same time it makes May look bad because of how easy it was for her since she never had a bad time with them.>>This is a good thing Dawn have hard time in Contests... much better for her character development
Not really, cause again that makes May's run look even worse because Dawn's is seen as "more realistic".Pass the performance round, get into the final battle and give May a good battle - could cheer up Dawn a lot and prove to the viewers and to Dawn that she's getting better a little by little like it should be instead of win easily
Still having her gain her next ribbon against someone like May would be more meaningful than a lameo stale one shot.It'd still have the same result - Dawn being happy she won and gets out of her despression
But that's the problem, people think Dawn possibly beating her is a travesty, yet Ash tieing with her is nothing?I didn't say Ash didn't tie with her
Then he should be pwning all trainers he meets and battles except for Paul with little effort including Gl's if this so called experiance matters.'But Ash is -supposed- to be better than May since he's more experienced
The thing is Dawn's only problem right now is the appeal round, she's got some insane battling skills that could even the odds in the battling rounds.This time May is the more experienced... and Dawn is not only less experienced but also a beginner that constantly fail lately
Let me see, he can beat a Legendary pokemon, yet then pikachu goes and looses to an Onix with a NAM..yeah real experiance there.>>And who says these Gym leaders and trainers aren't experienced too?
Too late given the Metagross kill from awhile back.Just like the trainer the Pokémon need to get stronger too
It'd be stupid if Ash could do with Chimchar as good as he can with Charizard for example
Still though Grace didn't have any ribbons(or did she but i know she didn't have as many as Drew did) when she beat Drew, so in a way it does matter since it negates the experiance factor.Didn't Grace beat Drew than May beat her? It's the same
Just because X beat Y that doesn't mean if you beat X that you must be able to beat Y
