So Ash wins a 1 on 1 battle against Trip, bah meaningless considering Ash got beat by Trip 3-0 in a 5 on 5 battle. I suppose it is acceptable, the only thing that matters is that Ash beat this guy, although i really wish Pika would took it out without hassle but judging by the scans that doesn't seem to be the case.
Pikachu just seems to have straight up owned Serperior without too much trouble....Iron Tail + Electro Ball is new.
Lol Trip.
But seriously, the Isshu League better not be yet another Don Battle type set-up. If it's nothing but a bunch of 1v1's with only 16 people entering...then the writers have officially lost it.
A one-on-one battle that's spread across...two episodes... Must've started in the second half of the first and ended in the first half of the second.
Kinda bizarre that this whole rivalry leads up to a simple one-on-one matchup, but... whatever; as long as this is the climax of it all, I couldn't care less.
after how bad "sonic"-perior was powered up, this was the only logical choice to get Trip out.
So, any news on who's animating this?
If this battle really is a 1v1, I guess even the writers realized how shit this rivalry was and didn't even care to give it a full battle lol.
Lol I am sure once the battle is shown people will be whining about how they depowered Serperior to give Ash the win. Judging from the comic they would be right. I mean trip didn't even use any grass moves.
A BS victory made even worse by the fact that Trip's Serperior was a nearly unstoppable pokemon during the WTJC. It also doesn't help that the writers seem to pull the exact same winning conditions for Pikachu during most of the battles in Best Wishes: Pikachu gets its body pummeled into the ground by a faster, stronger, or bigger opponent, and it uses a powered up Electro Ball to stop the opponent. If the writers were planning on making Pikachu defeat Serperior, they could have at least made this battle play out a bit differently from Pikachu's past victories in this series.
Since Emboar is featured in the scan for this episode, I'm guessing Ash vs. Bianca is next.
Please please atleast next one be 3 vs 3 battle.. getting sick and bored of 1 vs 1 battles.. whoever be the opponent next Ash faces let the battle be more than 1.. and what is next round supposed to be.. round of 64/32/16..
Seriously, a one on one battle against the only rival with a full set of six? Why does the league have to suffer from the same bad ideas of the other tournaments - one on one proves nothing. The writers spent all of Sinnoh drilling this in with how Ash battled Paul - and now Ash is going to go into a league with one on one?
I now bet Ash will win the Unova league - crap like this has devalued that accomplishment so much that it's within Ash's grasp. Why did Ash ever train so hard in all the other regions, all he had to do was go to Unova with one decent Pokemon and win the lot with no effort.
Based on the length of this battle - spanning two episodes - I have no hope that this is a round robin. Even if the later rounds turn out to be longer battles - getting past who should have been one of his major rivals in a one on one battle is pathetic. Make it stop!
Where is it confirmed that it will be an 1 on 1 battle?
It's not confirmed. Just extremely likely.
Doesn't mean the battle after will be though.
