Have you ever felt more betrayed?

Yeah, when I found out dragonair evolves into dragonite

Yup.

Yeah gen 8 since that's where I had to accept I'm not the target audience anymore
I never watched the main series of the anime though

Every time some faggot NPC trades me a Haunter and it's holding an Everstone.

>>58017931 (OP)
Yes. Why have this whole arc about the special Ash-Greninja battle bond and Froakie seeking out the perfect trainer that will make it as strong as it can be and NOT have it beat the guy with a very powerful Mega Charizard X and have it be the grand finale where Ash FINALLY becomes champion?

WASN'T THAT THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF THE STORY???

>>58017931 (OP)
blastoise looking cool on the blue version box but then he ends up being a fat fuck in the game

>>58017931 (OP)
To make up for that loss, I brought pokemon 4ever on VHS and got a suicune trading card.

>>58017931 (OP)
I regret buying shield before the dlc was announced.

>>58018091
Yet he looked like a fat fuck in the box as well. You are retarded, shrimple as.

>>58018091
i love that smug fucking turtle

>>58018079
It was, the executives ruined it. It was pretty obvious even at the time that the decision to make him lose came from above and not the writers.

>>58017931 (OP)
Why didn't they just revisit this in the final series before they got rid of Ash?

>what a tweeeeest

>>58018197
Avery is based tho

>>58018197
Klara is so much better, and it's not even a gooner thing, she's just funny as fuck.

>>58018953
It was pretty obvious there was a self-inserter on team who wanted to feel speshul.
I'm just delighted one sperg unable to handle himself led to an entire board of spergs similarly believing this was "their" moment. That's why Game Freak catered to actually finishing the story and making a game with NO canon champion and a new league, to anoint Ash properly (because again, even if he'd won XY league, he'd have gotten bodied by Diantha. They DID have to pull bullshit to avoid outright pancaking the Dark type weak to Fairy. Contrast Cynthia just outright bodying Paul with no recourse).

>>58017931 (OP)
The Weat has fallen, and this is just yet another symptom..

>>58018983
I hate to break it to you anon, but the main grain crop in japan is rice, not wheat.

>>58017981
Skill issue desu

>>58018079
You lost Ashcuck, based AniPoke for flushing out you dumbass self-inserters with that fantastic humiliation ritual courtesy of BURASTO, retconning everything and pissing you off even more with make-a-wish handouts no one will ever take seriously. Good fucking riddance

>>58018079
Because at the time, if Ash won a league tournament (not the E4 + Champion, mind you, JUST the tournament,) then the show would have to end, so decreed the executives from the very beginning.
The sheer backlash from the loss is the only reason he was allowed to get his pity win with Alola (a literal who backwater boonie league that's even less impressive than the Orange Islands, literal goddamned filler) and then when there was outrage over THAT being a disappointed first "real" league win, they let him jump to being the world's strongest trainer by suddenly being able to beat Leon.

>>58018962
context?

>>58017931 (OP)
Should have just given Ash Latias back in Johto and let her win the league for him.

>>58019774
she used that gimmick instead of mega garchomp

>>58019774
Cynthiafags think the writers forcibly handicapped Cynthia by having her Dynamax Togekiss against Ash instead of using Mega Garchomp like she did against Iris for a myriad of reasons.
Whether it's because "Garchomp would've been stronger than Leon's Charizard and thus take away from the importance of beating it", or "Cynthia would've won if Ash didn't have plot armor", it's all copium.

>>58019806
Ash would have won even if Cynthia could have used Mega Garchomp and 5 Dynamax Pokemon. That's the exact type of writer the Journey's guy was and it's funny to me how little people care to pay attention to this.

>>58017931 (OP)
Yes

>>58018079
If you got to that point, you already showed OLM that you don't care about closure or stories having a point. Its 100% on you, you weren't betrayed.

>>58019806
>writers
>>58019816

>>58019806
It was pretty lame not to use the mega of a trainer and pokemon they'd, unintentionally or not, kind of built up for years. What was the point of showing it off beforehand?

>>58017931 (OP)
Yes.

>>58020966
And yes again.

>>58018197
I don't play nugen slop but I've never even seen the one on the right

>No ORAS Battle Frontier tease mention

I'm still mad.

>>58020977
The betrayals have gotten worse.

>>58020977
Dexit coming just a few years after quickly usurped this in terms of memorable betrayal, unfortunately.

What the ACTUAL FUCK did he do wrong?

>>58021009
He was playing ball in the house and broke a vase. Started sperging out when Arceus took away the ball.

>>58021050
Arceus is too cruel

>>58017944
I never thought of you to be the genwar type.

>>58017931 (OP)
Yes. I got to watch season 1 and 2 of Indigo League and Orange Islands but then after the Charizard VS Poliwrath episode, there were no more episodes dubbed in my language, until like the late stages of the Silver conference arc

It's not necessarily about the game itself but the timing. SM and USUM were only one year apart, basically pulling another BW but with major differences.

>The story was more or less the same
>The Mystery Gift wave for USUM ignored SM entirely

Picrel was among them. I don't know if owners of BW1 were cucked this hard, but at least the timing of their releases was more spaced out.
