Even the page itself has no recorded cases of foiler footage from Pokémon, and even I'm praying this won't be the first time Ash is leaked to be the winner in previews, only to lose in the actual episode.
Wait what? Where? Was he shown with the trophy or the regional Champion in the past?
looks like pikachu and zoroark knock each other out with z-move
Write with a smaller font, please!
Well if he won this this one, he'll certainly win the next one. Now we just have to start crossing our fingers for an amazing Galar League in 3 years.
Yeah, at worst we've had some changes in animation/effects (like Lycanroc not having an aura when using Stone Edge or the scene with Greninja's giant orange disc being kinda blurred out)
What's with the low effort, cringy posts?
Not counting BW, he's always improved his league placements. If he wins this, he definitely has to win the next ones. And hopefully they bring back the dropped Champion League sub plot for Galar.
While he may have won the league, I’m just left feeling unsatisfied after this carrot and stick game for over 20 years. So many regions with much better battles, better teams for Ash and better competition and they choose this, the absolute weakest league where the bar was so low that they put Team Rocket, Faba and Samson Oak into it. It’s like, you expected a bang and instead you get a whimper. Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh or Kalos would have been much more exciting for Ash to win, but the execution of this league has been so lackluster as a league that this feels more like a letdown.
This mirrors my thoughts almost exactly. I mean nothing's guaranteed because BW did happen, but...
What would be nice is if they leverage ash becoming the champion as a way to incorporate the previous regions. Like as Alola champ he travels to other regions for mini tourneys or something.
He did enter the League with 5 Pokemon similar to Kalos. Technically, he does have a Full Team but there was really no need to bring back his 6th Spot which is Poipole since the Most Battles were 1 VS 1 with a 2 VS 2 and 3 VS 3 although I do think he will bring it back for the Exhibition Battle.
I personally don't even know if we'll even see a Galar League. But if we do and Galar is the Main Focus, I do personally think he has a good chance of winning mainly if Leon is the Main Antagonist. But him winning every League after this one will make him too over-powered so there is a chance of a regression like Best Wishes.
Or... you know, they could just make the next region more intense on battles and the trainers there more experienced, no need of a reset. Kinda fits the passion for battling theme of the Galar region too, no other region has a sponsorship requirement to join to League. The challenges he'll face will mostly be about helping his Galar Pokemon (or past mons in case they're brought back) overcome their problems. Kind of like Sinnoh, you know?
