honestly if you can't see that it's shopped then you're probably blind :b

GUYS GOODRA'S GOODBYE WAS THE SADDEST THING MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS MY CHILD SAYING GOODBYE TO HIS DRAGON UGHHH

ok i'm done.

maybe.

Pretty much haha, but I was mostly making a reference to this post:

As for Goodra, I haven't gotten around watching that episode yet, but I saw that someone finally subbed it! I'll try to catch up as soon as possible. =D

 

[mishy.]

83.

ooooh. that makes sense!

well, part two/the actual goodbye was just release today so the subbed version won't be out for a week or so. But hnnnnng by the time you catch up it'll probably be subbed and it's so sweet and heartwreaking and ughh I loved it so much. It's been a long time since Ash said goodbye to one of his Pokemon especially in this way.

Ah, so it was a two-parter? No wonder the 30-second preview that I saw (from the Garchomp episode) made no hints about Goodra leaving. But yeah, I'll be looking forward to seeing it subbed!

Hows everyone doing? :3

"Walks in the door and has a seat."

"Walks in the bar*" -fixed

But anyways, not bad! We're just discussing Ash's cute little Goodra, who's sadly about to leave the team. Well, it technically already left, but the episode hasn't been translated yet. =(

 

[mishy.]

Yep! Though people continue to be mad that Ash doesn't have a "powerhouse" on his team anymore that they don't really care about anything else. I'm getting so tired of hearing them hahah.

Hmm, if anything, I'm sure the writers will use this chance to give the rest of Ash's team a chance to grow beyond their current selves. Frogadier's development is basically guaranteed, but I really, really hope that Fletchinder will get (close to) equal treatment.

You know what this picture means guys!

bo0!

So who can tell me why exactly did Goodra leave? Not watching the anime atm. :D

I don't watch the series myself, but I've read that Goodra left to protect his friends in his homeland. Ash just can't seem to hold onto strong Pokémon. D:

Can we stop talking about the Anime now? I don't understand a thing...

It's not like he can't hold onto them it's just that the writers normally seem to give them a storyline that ends with them leaving? But his Sinnoh team were all pretty much powerhouses and he had Pokemon like Krookodile in Unova so I just... wish people would stfu about him losing a powerhouse. That's..... not the point of the show.........

I do agree with the other Pokemon hopefully getting development. Personally I think they're doing a better job than Unova already because, since he doesn't have seven+ Pokemon already, things seem more balanced.

And honestly, Voliol, the best way to change the conversation is to bring up another topic. Just asking us to stop isn't going work especially not with me I can talk about the anime all day kthnks

Because those people think losing a powerhouse makes him automatically weak.

 

[mishy.]

5.

I know. And those people need to shut up or find another show to watch imean....

.... yeah no actually I do mean that because I'm sick of people saying that because it's not true. Though I've learned that there are many many people who don't see the anime the way I do hahaha. but uuurg.

Honestly, 70% of Ash's losses are due to his opponent having plot armor, not because he's weak. As for the other 30%, I'd say 25% of that goes to his character development, and the last 5% is due to having an insanely powerful opponent. (Though there are many instances of the first two categories overlapping.)

Hey guys, just wanted to point out that I changed my Username. I've been using my real name for 5 years now and I wanted to change it for now. There are few reasons which I dont think are needed to be discussed on this thread tbh. Im just pointing it out on this thread since you guys are pretty much the only people I actually felt friendly enough in the past 5 years so yeah, there ya go. :P

ONTOPIC:

Ash has a powerhouse called Pikachu and probably the only reason he's still with him cos they are together from the beginning. Not surprised yet another powerhouse left him lol.
And true to be told, he is not that much of a trainer. He's not weak either, but he's not strong. I've seen all kind of dumb moves he's made. And worse, he would just unnecessarily put some of his Pokemon in danger.

He won so many battles only cos of a huge bond he has with most of his Pokemon plus some other environment related reasons.
In that way, Ash is a great trainer, but in the technical way, he's far from that. If he was, he would have won a Pokemon league by now.
