Thread: BW103: "Opening of the Isshu League Higaki Conference!"

Airdate - November 22, 2012.

Isshu League is starting as expected.

Please no one on one prelims please no one on one prelims

Well... it's time. Let the games begin.

Man it doesn't feel that long ago the Sinnoh league was airing, and here we are at another league already. I guess Best Wishes really WAS faster paced, (har har!)

Well Ash just whipped through the gyms, surprisingly. But then again, no contest episodes in this series.

So it's staring, not excited for this league at all considering how bad the majority of the battles have been this saga. Maybe the writers will surprise me. Probably not

At least we know he can't lose to Trip again, lol.

He should have never had to play "catch-up" to a trainer just starting out. Period.

Also, Ash's team still feels so underdeveloped, they just gave him too many Pokemon this season. Some of them don't even have a full moveset. Pignite still has "Tackle" lol.

I'm just glad this league is starting soon and will be over with. One step closer to the end of this trainwreck of a saga.

Yea I just can't get excited about this league. The only reason I have to look forward to this is so we can get it out of the way and see what the gang will do next. The least I can ask for is a semi decent 6 v 6 battle with some believability. please writers?

Him having tackle is not Krookodile's nor Boldore's fault because him having a unexplained other move would be legit.

I really don't think they were blaming Ash's other pokes for someone's shoddy move set lol. More just pointing out that Ash's team is very underdeveloped. And I have to agree. Only Pikachu, Krookodile and Boldore have decent move sets, Oshawott, Pignite and Leavanney still know tackle, and Palpitoad has yet to reveal a 4th move.

On another note, im curious to see how this tournament is going to be laid out. If you lose a match your out like in Sinnoh? a sort of points thing to qualify for the Finals like in Johto? Or something completely different. Gut says it'll just be elimination rounds like every other tournament we've seen so far in best wishes

Please! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! let ash use his reserves.

...Yes it does. This was a brutal 1-2 years for pokemon.

I've always enjoyed watching the League episodes, but I just can't get as excited for this one as I have in series' past. Even if Satoshi finally beats Shooti in the League, it just doesn't feel as intense as it did when he battled Shinji.

I hope there's no magical trainer with a bunch of legendaries, either. :/

But, I am excited to see what Pokemon Satoshi will choose to go with and what kind of challengers he'll face. Hope the battles are exciting, at least.
