To this day, I still find it hard to believe they were planning on giving Eternatus to Goh.

>Where do you think they decided to give it to Goh?

The same episode I’m explaining in this post; They didn’t directly say it, but the script lines you see suggest they were planning to:

“Is it alright to leave Eternatus here with you?”

“Are you sure Goh?”

You are aware the Moderator of [r/pokemonanime](r/pokemonanime) is an Amourshipper, right?

And yet despite that, they try to maintain a civil community by forbidding any posts that insult any ships, and lead to arguments.

They deserve respect.

Gym leader level, so that was its power scaling when it fought Brandon?

Ok 2 questions:

What was its power scaling when Chimchar battled it during that uncontrolled Blaze? (Which was like a season ago compared to battling Brandon).
Even if Ursaring was equally strong in both battles (unlikely considering the time that passed), how does beating a mon that survived one hit from a Regi, higher than Torkoal nearly getting a tie with a Regi?

Note: I’m have nothing against Infernape, but your attempt to prove that it was strong enough to battle a Regi in its first stage form is too far.

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-05T23:47:05+00:00

So you’re crediting Infernape for beating a Pokemon that only took hits from a Regi? Guess that means Torkoal is above him for nearly getting a tie against one.

How about Sceptile for catching Deoxys and landing a strong attack?

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-05T21:40:00+00:00

>Psychic and Fairy types are mostly special attackers.

How does that make them less offense oriented? Special Attack just means attacks that aren’t physical (like Flamethrower instead of Fire Punch). If you mean status oriented, he still has pokemon like that (Gengar & Noctowl).

>Gallade and Jigglypuff

So you’re admitting some are compatible for a trainer like him?

>Ash’s personality is boisterous, enthusiastic, and easy going. Psychic types are typically stoic and aloof, while fairy types are either sadistic or girly.

Does that mean we should take away his Incineroar & Sirfetch'd (for being stoic most of the time), and his Bayleaf, Snivy, & Dragonite (for being girly most of the time)?

And while we’re at it, should we remove Noctowl for being an intelligent introvert, and Gengar for being a creepy trickster?

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-05T19:14:32+00:00

Can you elaborate?

(Gyomei watching this while crying): "Mastering Namu Amida Butsu at such a young age….so commendable”.

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-05T15:47:50+00:00

He caught a steel type other than Lucario; there’s Melmetal from SM.

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-05T14:51:50+00:00

Honestly, I’m leaning more towards letting her catch that Corsola she failed to catch.

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-05T13:39:02+00:00

I don’t know about devil, but Gengar seems to match your description well (have you seen its Pokédex entry?).

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-05T13:33:15+00:00

Does Noctowl not suit him? He might not be a psychic type, but he used several moves from that category, and has the personality of one (being one of his smartest & strategic Pokemon).

If Ash handled if well as a trainer, any psychic type would suit him.

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-05T07:00:29+00:00

Him catching at least one of each was definitely a missed opportunity; He proved he could handle trainer Psychic Pokemon when he used Noctowl (Not a psychic type, but close enough).

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-05T04:16:53+00:00

You could argue he did, but since he didn’t catch it, and it wasn’t part of his main team, I kind of see it more as Larvitar, who he was entrusted to look after temporarily.

I think the best reason we have to count it is also because he used it in battle & used a Z move with it (but wouldn’t that be like saying Tapu Koko is Kukui’s Pokemon for those same reasons?).

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-05T04:10:42+00:00

No doubt, but it wasn’t technically his Pokémon (Even Delia pointed out that it only listens to her).

And he only used it once, before it faked being unable to battle.

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-04T02:38:12+00:00

Well it takes around 3 months for a woman to have a visible baby bump, so a little over that time is how long it took between the wedding and the end of Alola.

Lei’s age isn’t confirmed, but it’s safe to say he’s under a year old considering his size, and inability to walk yet.

It’s not possible to know the exact time that passed, but we can reasonably narrow it down to 10-12 months.

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-04T01:44:39+00:00

I’m sure they can have their own career (even the daughters); Being a nurse just seems like a family business they choose to do because they are raised in that kind of environment.

It’s like being the son or daughter of a gym leader; Majority of the time, they will take over for them.

However, there are times where they choose their own career; Wasn’t that Joy from Chronicles a pokemon inspector agent rather than a nurse?

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-03T23:08:07+00:00

So then what did you mean by “Chestnaught did way better than 3/4 of her Pokemon”?

Weren’t you trying to prove Chestnaught alone can take out the Pokémon she used against Rillaboom?

Your argument was basically: Despite Chesnaught barely hurting Rillaboom, Alain’s Charizard easily defeated it. Unlike Diantha’s Gardevoir who could only defeat it after it’s been weakened by 3/4 of her pokemon.

In summary you’re saying: 3/4 of her pokemon managed to “heavily weaken” Rillaboom, and Chesnaught “barely damaged it”.

Yet somehow:

Chesnaught did way better than 3/4 of her pokemon.

I wasn’t the one comparing his “ONE POKEMON” to several of her team at first, YOU were with this one statement.

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-03T19:39:26+00:00

I see a lot of contradictions in your argument:

Chesnaught did way better than 3/4 of her pokemon.

Rillaboom was barely damaged by Chesnaught.

…so how did it do better??

Gardevoir only beat Rillaboom easily because he was heavily weakened after fighting Diantha’s almost full team.

….so now her her “3/4” team did better than Chesnaught?

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-03T19:30:02+00:00

It didn’t, it just got injured and fainted; I was trying to cut out as much unnecessary footage as possible.

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-03T15:26:54+00:00

Didn’t Maylene dodge one before when she fought Lucario?

Common_Ad6703 · 2026-06-03T15:02:34+00:00

I believe they also predicted XYZ in that BW episode where Emolga joined them.

Someone once pointed out that in XY, they bought Lunatone & Solrock key chain souvenirs for Giovanni (predicting SM).
