I love how Ash and Iris are super excited to be in the tournament but when they enter the room with the others it’s all of these serious adults who give off intense energy scaring them a bit then you have Diantha and Cynthia welcoming them with reassuring smiles.
Ash’s Dragite is a chad!
> Pseudo Legendary
> Has a good moveset
> Is actually good at battling
> Has a personality
> He gives out hugs to the homies
How could you not love this guy

Kukui told everyone including Ash that becoming Champion isn't the important factor of the League it's to help trainers and Pokemon become one while battling. It makes even more sense why Ash isn't bringing it up now. Also notice how he took in Kukui's words to mentor Go!
I thought the Dragon Ball Instagram community were bad with spreading misinformation and being cringe but man Pokémon took it to another level lmao.

#ThankYouAnipoke
For providing us with entertainment for 20+ years without a long break and thanks for delivering us a high quality anime especially these last 7 years! Thanks for all of your hard work and thanks for putting everyone’s health first! Stay safe anipoke staff! 💙
Crazy how the best champions became champion on their first league try as children, are both black and both have really cool purple hair! Who’s doing like them???
@Mootmonthly
They called him champion plenty of times in the Alola episode so the answe should be obvious. He’s only asking Leon because he feels a real connection to him same reason why he never asked Cynthia or Diantha what’s it like to be champion. In Ash’s eyes he’s the champion
It’s crazy how DP, XY and SM are still talked to this day after ending. No matter what series you prefer there’s no denying these 3 series left the biggest impact on the anipoke community as awhole.

Reminder that the “Your Adventure” is about the sm gang and the children of Alola writing letters to Ash! If that’s not pure and wholesome then I don’t know what is. The best part is Champion Ash really did impact Alola and helped his friends a lot. Look at this growth!

Pokémon Journeys really chose Ash’s best main rivals and decided to give them a really cool story in Journeys and I think it’s just neat! I couldn’t be more happy with these choices. 🥺
#anipoke
If this isn’t a call back to Ash’s Lycanroc and it’s anger and pride issues then I don’t what is. The fact that they say it’s hard to raise just drives this point home tbh.

The Pokémon community is horrible when it comes to understanding a character. Calling a character clone is ignorant and doesn’t make you funny.
Hop isn’t Hau 2
Sophocles isn’t Clemont 2
Marnie isn’t female Gladion
Dawn isn’t May 2
It’s almost like personality traits can vary.
One day people will understand the difference between a league champion/regional champion and a league winner. Even if the anime pointed out the difference on multiple occasions.
Anyways it’s crazy how some the strongest character in the anime are black!
Leon : Worlds Strongest Champion
Iris : Youngest Champion
Raihan : Champion level 9th strongest in the world!
Kiawe : Is a rival to Ash the Alola champion and can beat Ultra Beast in battles.
#anipoke
I can’t wait to see them reunite again Ash had such fun and unique bonds with each of them. I can’t wait to see Ash reunite with Lillie and Gladion 🥺
#anipoke
I know people miss Ash a lot but getting rid of him was the best decision since making him win the Alola League. I love Ash dearly but change was desperately needed. A more story driven anime with top tier character designs that’s not held back by games or past series was needed.
So let me get this straight he says Roy is lazy Ash copy because Roy wants to travel the world, battle legendary Pokémon and search for treasure??? Even though Ash was about doing gyms/leagues/tournaments and befriending every Pokémon???
This dude never fails to make me cringe
@Mootmonthly
among champions the undefeated champion that is. Which is a completely new concept for Ash. Leon’s portrayed very differently from other champions in the anime as well.
This moment with Steven and Leon being blown away by Diantha was really nice. I really like how Leon said he wanted perform alongside her instead of battling. It shows that Leon is respectful to his opponents wishes and how he wants to have fun more than anything!

Wether you like the sun and moon anime or not there’s no denying that it has forever changed the Pokémon anime in terms of art style, tone and most importantly Ash as a character! He’s at his peak battling wise, is able to cook, clean and study for himself and he went through >
The dub is soulless, cheap and pathetic like they can’t even be bothered use THEIR OWN MUSIC. What’s worse is they couldn’t even be bothered to use one of their openings as an insert song. Instead we gets boring, uninspired non fitting trash.
You can tell ever since Ash became a champion they are treating his team more seriously. Remember when his first captures were regional birds and starters? Now he’s out here catching a Pseudo Legendary and all these powerful all star Pokémon from the start. We stan a champion!
GIVE ME THIS NOW!!! THE FUTURE OF POKÉMON LOOKS GREAT! SM WALKED SO THE NEW SERIES COUND RUN!! This is literally the spiritual successor to Sun and Moon!
SM art style just upgraded ✅
No CGI backgrounds during battles ✅
Goofy tone, goofy faces and more comedy ✅
#Anipoke
This is legit the worst written in the episode in the entire anime. From at his portal bs Greninja uses and Greninja being the only one to detect vines and destroy them but the GUARDIAN LEGENDARY OF KALOS CAN’T. All of this before they couldn’t be bothered to send him to Oak...
I think I know why I like Ash’s Riolu so much he shares a lot in common with Ash’s Rockruff
> Both has a goal of evolving and getting stronger.
> Both looked up to its evolutions.
> Both have a passion for training & battling
> Both are good boys who are close to Ash and Pikachu
This scene right here is one of the many reasons why Ash was at his peak in SM until the new series. He’s so self aware, mature and appreciates more aspects of life which helped him to grow and finally break his flat character arc! I also like how genuine this speech feels.
I still find this scene from SM one of my favorite scenes from the anime. It shows how much he loves the world and how much he wants to get stronger which I think was handled well in the new series and the battles he had so far. (1/2)
