So let me get this straight. In a massive battle royal, rather than using the Pokémon she’s owned the entire series and has the most battle experience, she’s going with the plushie that she hasn’t trained at all and simply exists to have a “baby” being taken care of. Makes sense.

I can’t tell if that was sarcasm or not. Text isn’t very good with conveying it.

Anyone else notice that Pikala’s Pikachu has a similar hairstyle to Boruto?

Like I said, by the end of this league, we’re all gonna be questioning what drugs the writers were on when they thought up even half of the decisions they made for this league because no sober mind could have thought this was a good idea.

Really it kinda says a lot when they wrote out the gyms in an experimental manner with Gen 7 only for them to return in full force in Gen 8.

Except even the anime presented that, while Alola didn’t have a league, they did used to have something of a proving grounds for those who completed the Island Trials so Alola may be small but to the point of not having gyms or a league but they’re not without a battle element of their own.

If it were a real league maybe, but with this one, that would be like being impressed by a professional heavyweight boxer winning against a neighborhood gym. It’s just not the same and kinda makes Ash look worse off for it. And I bet we’ll have to deal with his stupid Pokémon faces the entire...

Honestly, even if he does win, I can’t really see people warming up to Sun and Moon due to just how this league basically lacks any real standards and anyone who so much as has s pulse can enter compared to previous sagas where it was basically the best trainers in the region who earned their...

I can imagine that by the end of this league we’ll be wondering what drugs the writers were on and in what dosage to have made some of the decisions they made for this league.

So these are the main competitors huh? Geez this promises to be the most underwhelming league yet.

Are there any higher quality pictures of this? I can't really make out a whole lot in this one.

That’s actually even worse. Now had the preliminaries been the Battle Royal style they’d shown in the anime and games, that could have been something unique to give some credibility to but if it’s just a full on battle royal with all these trainers, it’s gonna be awful from the pure chaos alone.

Key word there though is lately. He’s still a rookie as far as battling goes. And even if he does lose, it’s not necessarily rendering it pointless if he has a good showing within the battle.

People keep putting all of the classmates in the top 16 and I’m not gonna lie, that would be some seriously bad writing. Most of the classmates aren’t really battlers at all and it would be contrived beyond willing suspension of disbelief that they all survive. If they all survive, any...

That’s basically something we got both in Kanto, Johto and Hoenn that gave the leagues a sense of being a competition. Even if it’s a bunch of throwaway characters, it gives a feeling that the world exists beyond just the bubble of Ash and his friends/rivals. Realistically, some of the...

Given the writers of SM’s track record, especially with battles, I’m not giving them the benefit of the doubt in advance.

Yea seems they were trying to be clever but ignored the fact that it doesn’t work in a tournament elimination style.

So given that most of the classmates besides Ash and Kiawe don’t even have at least 3 Pokémon, if any of them make it past the preliminaries, this is gonna be an even worse top 16 than Indigo.

Nah this league failed the minute that it was revealed that there were no qualifications in order to enter. Everything since then has just been it burying itself deeper.
