Pokéball's primary function is capturing pokémon, and this franchise is still about pokémon battles, it makes no sense for giving it to the secondary character.
Tera crystals are supposed to be mysterious.
I’ve learned that AU is shorthand in this fandom for “thing I don’t like.” Still, I can see the appeal of having this in an AU since it won’t need to adhere to anything tangentially related to Ash.
Pokémon Writers: What’s that? You want another 3 years of Kanto? Alright, we’ll get right on it.
Roy is still considered one of the main protagonists in the story.
I'd argue that it still didn't really make much sense for Ash to not do the Galar Gyms after he won the Alola League. At least from an in-universe perspective, it was not brought up as to why Ash didn't do traditional Gym battles afterwards. He just wanted to battle against Leon and it took them over seventy episodes to even bring up the fact that Ash was the Alola League Champion. If anything, it always felt a bit out of character in my opinion that Ash wasn't more interested in challenging Galar Gym Leaders or exploring more of Galar given that he'd be facing off against new characters with new Pokemon he hadn't seen before. Since I always thought that the Alola League was set on easy mode, it didn't make Ash not challenging Gyms afterwards satisfying for me, especially when they could have easily justified Ash doing the Galar Gym Challege with establishing how strong these Gym Leaders are.
That makes no sense. Roy is always shown behind her, which means she's the primary protagonist and the main focus of this show. If you gave the pokémon battles to Roy, you had to accept that they're no longer the primary focus of this show. And again, what kind of plot you think a mysterious pendant involve that's gonna be the primary focus and not involve pokémon battles? Is she gonna catch pokémon with it? Will they focus on something unrelated to pokémon? She has to be battler.
The problem is that this seems to be another world traveling series. If they keep doing world traveling stories while enforcing a clean slate every generation, then they’ll potentially have just as much of a problem as then the anime adaptations as a whole will feel just as stale and ultimately make the whole thing pointless.
What further compounded the oddity of the whole thing is that when Ash did end up battling a Galar gym leader, they showed to be quite the challenge for him, even getting swept and having a tie with Bea before he managed a win, so it’s not as though he was beyond getting a challenge from them. Heck, given how a trainer needs to get someone to sponsor them for them to even enter the Galar League in the first place, it would have essentially been like a pro circuit for him with him even encountering some exceptionally strong trainers. It felt like a lot of missed opportunity to not take that path especially when Leon is the endgame in either case.
True, but I have an explanation.
Ash's struggling to even just tie with Bea was one of the reasons why I never believed the notion that Ash was too good for Gyms. It took him three tries to defeat Bea and Raihan was close to reaching the Master Class too. Going by the games, Raihan was considered strong enough to become a Champion of another region and the Gym Leaders effectively take the place of the Elite 4 too, so they certainly felt like they were stronger than Gym Leaders from other regions with that in mind too. They could have easily justified Ash doing the Galar Gym Challenge by making it more akin to the Battle Frontier in the sense that only select powerful trainers are qualified to battle them. I remember a lot of people speculated that Ash winning the Alola League would lead into Leon or Chairman Rose giving him a sponsorship for the Galar Gym Challenge.
My guess? Perhaps it is from another academy in Paldea that is not Naranja or Uva.
You do realize her parents (whom I won't mention, but you can probably guess who I'm inferring,) could have just moved from Kanto to Paldea and she was born there, hence her being a Paldean.
I think you are wrong.
Well, that's just your opinion now, isn't it? Lets just agree to disagree.
I believe it was from 4Chan acutally, but that is certainly not a place to trust from.
