    About hte Meowth thing... I mean it was already established to be a really powerful pokemon even if it refused to evolve. Also, Ash's Pikachu can do miracles like facing and beating legendaries, so I don't see why this Meowth couldn't be the same with the amount of development and showing of his strength that we got.

    Honestly, after Thunder Armor happened, I had lost all patience for any raw battling in this show. Strategy doesn't matter. Skill doesn't matter. Basic logic and the very laws of the universe itself don't matter. In this show, any Pokémon can win or lose for any reason, no matter how crazy or stupid the reason may be, so if there's no personal connection with any rival in the tournament, I just clock out and wait for Ash to lose so the show can get interesting again.

    There was always something that confused me. After Ash’s match against Hitmonlee dude, Brock said that that round was to narrow the contenders down 2 the top 256. Ash’s match against Katie was the Top 32 battle. Meaning that Ash had to battle in three double battles (1st one=4 the top 256, 2nd one=4 the top 128, and 3rd one=4 the top 64) However, we only saw TWO of the double battles, being the top 256 and top 64. Did the writers forget to show Ash’s top 128 battle, or did they not have enough time to write it?

    • @jamestrammell9395
      @jamestrammell9395 5 років тому

      Sandra Wu I think that they did skip it. If I remember correctly there WAS 3 double battle rounds but they only showed 2. Now that I'm thinking about it, hoenn technically was the longest league as far as rounds. First the 1 vs 1 round, then the 3 double battle rounds, then the top 32 6 vs 6 rounds which had 5.(32,16,8,4,2).

    • @Zactoshi
      @Zactoshi  5 років тому

    Let's be fair with the Meowth. Tysons Meowth got a ass load of training and actually wins stuff while Team Rocket's Meowth is weak. The difference between the two Meowth is that one has a lot of battle experience and wins, while the other literally gets defeated without a problem. One-hitting every meowth won't prepare you for that one meowth that can't be defeated in one shot

      This is honestly what really makes the Hoenn league stand out from the rest. It was the last league that fully played out matches against people who weren't significant to the plot but were still no less capable. And when it came to that, it easily did it the best. We even got one more full battle than we usually do cause they were willing to have Ash go full 6 on 6 with a never before seen trainer just to show the challenge. Doing this shows just how tough the climb is overall while also giving us more fun action. Later series only give the major characters focus which ultimately leads to less action overall which can be quite glaring at times. The Unova and Kalos leagues are huge offenders in this regard.

    Honestly, Pikachu losing to a Meowth isn't that surprising. Team Rocket's Meowth is pretty well-established to be a wimp. He gave up any chance of being a good fighter when he devoted his life to learning to talk and walk like a human. Tyson's Meowth had to learn how to walk again too, but he used that to become stronger.

    A weakness of the Advanced seasons was lack of an ongoing rival for Ash, so his opponents in the Hoenn League are mostly people we only meet once he gets there except for Morrison, who he’d met not long before. May’s Hoenn contest campaign did have recurring rivals who challenged May’s skill as a coordinator and her as a character, which Ash would get in Sinnoh with Paul. It’s easy to see why Ash didn’t get this in Hoenn, as this was the first region to introduce an ongoing campaign for one of his friends and the writers were probably still working out how this affected the campaign/arc vs filler balance. Battle Frontier also lacked this as it didn’t end in a tournament arc for Ash.
    Having an ongoing rival for Ash in Hoenn would have made the Hoenn League more dynamic, giving some history to the context of the Victory Tournament battles, showing the type of person the rival was and their Pokemon across the seasons and making the victory and losses mean something more. Tyson and Morrison lack the history to make their battles have an emotional stake beyond the risk of preventing Ash from winning the whole thing, and apart from Tyson’s Meowth their Pokemon lack personality. Looking ahead with Paul he’s going to have a much stronger dynamic with Ash and develop a history where their clash at the Sinnoh League really feels epic and the point where things will be proved. His Pokemon have character, like Torterra looking out for the newly evolved Grotle and we see his journey with Elekid as it evolves into Electabuzz and Electavire.

      Jay Barry don’t forget the rivalry between Ash’s Torterra and Paul’s Honchkrow and the somewhat rivalry between Pikachu and Magmortar. As I’ve said before, Paul is the best rival because he challenged Ash’s ideals and morals as a trainer. Brock even commented on this by telling Ash to toughen up his batting style every time he battled against Paul

    When you first mentioned Morrison, I wondered "Why did they bring back someone who basically a one off character of the week?" Then I remembered he's voiced by Masako Nozawa in the Japanese version, famous for playing Goku in Dragon Ball, so creators probably wanted to work with her again. But here's a real fun fact. You know who the English voice of Morrison is? Sean Schemmel, who also plays Goku! He did some work for 4Kids and this might have been a lucky coincidence.

    12:23 Hey, Ash's Hoenn team was actually pretty good at the time. Remember, this was the first league where he wasn't relying on his reserves, and unlike his main Kanto team and especially his Johto team, he actually bothered to evolve about half his Pokemon (even if Grovyle still needed to evolve all the way). In fact, way back when Advanced Generation was first airing, I remember how excited I was to see Ash actually evolving Pokemon way more than he did during the previous two generations (Snorunt evolving into Glalie just before the league was especially a pleasant surprise since I figured they'd just treat the thing like Phanpy; an unevolved, inexperienced cutie that came in too late to make a difference). A trend that thankfully continued into gen4 and gen6 (we don't speak of gen5.... though his fully-evolved Krookodile was boss, and probably the only good thing to come of it).
