No offence but on these forums most of what I’ve seen is constructive criticism. And as someone else pointed out the vast majority has posted feedback similar to yours so I don’t know where the whining accusations are coming from. This place is much more civil than places like YouTube or Twitter.
Yeah, that was sort of condescending, but I guess when you're the strongest trainer in the world you deserve to be arrogant.
Couldn't have said it better myself! Very well put!

Thankfully, he's not an unlikable champion/a jerk though. Regardless, it'll still be satisfying when Ash beats him into the dirt, putting an end to his broken-ness.
You're right. Still, I think Ash won't steamroll him but instead it'll be the classical showdown between the opponents' last Pokemon (Charizard vs. Pikachu or Lucario most likely).
Yeah, I know. As you said, it'll almost certainly be Pikachu/Lucario (most likely the former,) vs. Charizard for the final battle, with both sides down to their last Pokemon. When I said Ash will "beat him into the dirt," I was just being overdramatic.
Honestly, at this point, they’ve made Leon so boringly overpowered that even Ash defeating him wont feel satisfying because it just goes beyond willing suspension of disbelief thanks to their writing to the point that a win would feel like an asspull. Hell, Ash putting up a better battle than veteran champions is gonna feel ridiculous given that this current team is the most green Pokémon Ash owns. In the same vein, if Ash loses, it will also be unsatisfying. The writers have basically crafted a lose/lose situation with this one.
The writers will see this next Gen and probably think “hmm, I think we didn’t make Leon impressive enough.”
The writers will look at the criticisms of their writing of Leon and be like “Hold my beer.”
If Hop was writing this, the quality of the battles would be through the roof and into the next department
<Irony mode on>
If Hop wrote these battles, everyone would know and make use of type advantages.
