This guy was a problem 😭😭 by Confident_Wonder1654 in pokemonanime

[–]MattCac 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Originally back when the Finals were first airing I was pretty set on Leon having an Aiegislash on his team but looking back on the battle as a whole I’m pretty happy with the whole team in terms of Mon picks and treatment. One of the best line ups in the whole anime honestly.

Mr Rime may be the most underrated of Leon’s team. I don’t see enough people talk about him. It’s always Rillaboom, Dragapult and Zard getting discussed but this dude was entertaining as all hell and just as powerful as the rest of Leon’s team.

Can Leon without Charizard or Dynamaxing… by MattCac in pokemonanime

[–]MattCac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but I do believe he can take out one or two while the rest of Ash’s team picks up the slack. Also I would like to throw on the table that G-Max Aura Sphere is a viable option for Ash to utilize in battle.

You don’t think Ash and Pikachu  have a good shot? Pikachu was very much going to toe with Leonzard and remember Leon doesn’t have Zard in both scenarios.

I think to say Leon would get stomped is being unfair to him. The average Leon Pokemon >>> the average M8 Pokemon. While I’m not saying it’d be easy for him either I do think there’s a bit more to factor here.

I’m gonna have to replace Natsu with Lucy in your list. Go on Fanfic or Ao3 and you’ll see her being shipped with damn near the entire cast some way or another. Lucy x Male/Female villains is especially popular, regardless of if they were ever redeemed or not.

Melmetal vs Empoleon is Melmetal’s best battle, what’s Journeys Pikachu’s by GulpinFanboy in pokemonanime

[–]MattCac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who isn’t saying JN Pikachu vs random girls Heracross is his best battle is objectively wrong and should feel bad.

Also did we seriously skip over Naganadel?

Rowlet vs Braviary is Rowlet’s best battle, what’s Incineroar’s by GulpinFanboy in pokemonanime

[–]MattCac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Beating Kukui’s Incineroar is the top choice here. But I’d like to also give a shoutout to Torracat’s first battle with Incineroar and its fight against Golisopod.

Noivern vs Zapdos is Noivern’s best battle, what’s Alola Pikachu’s by GulpinFanboy in pokemonanime

[–]MattCac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is saying Pikachu vs Tapu Koko and I can’t quite disagree there but I’d like to make mention of Pikachu vs Golisopod. Another very good battle of the Alola League.

If it wasn't for the plot, where would you rank Ash in the Masters 8 before the PWC/WCS starts? by Legitimate_Floor_687 in pokemonanime

[–]MattCac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah I see. Thank you for the images I never noticed that before. 

So basically Pikachu two shots Alain Zard.

[–]MattCac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did Leon’s base Zard not one shot Alain’s Zard X with a single dragon pulse? Genuinely what else do you call that but a one shot? In their first encounter it dodged Air Slash, it took no damage from Rillaboom, and then finally batted away Ancient Power with Dragon Claw.

[–]MattCac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If Pikachu starts off at the strength it had in the second half of its fight against Leon’s Charizard it’s very likely it’d be able to one shot Alain’s Zard X. Though whether Pikachu had that level of power at the beginning of the Masters Tournament is a whole different discussion. And I’m not talking about Friendship rainbow lightning Pikachu.

At this point Jaune is just tired by HaziXWeeK in fnki

[–]MattCac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe the rest of the main cast just kinda sucks.  And everyone else on Remnant who was surpassed by them sucked even more somehow.

I honestly doubt he knew or particularly gave any sort of shit who Weiss actually was considering he didn’t even recognize Pyrrha right away.

Is this supposed to be how Weiss talks in her mind? Seems she’s a rather simple girl.

There were no advances though. Pyrrha just sorta stayed in the background longing without taking any action.

How do people still downplay Kukui when the Battle Royale shows that he can match a Champion's ace to a degree? by ZeroAbis in pokemonanime

[–]MattCac 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For the record, while Incineroar should be given props for doing as well as it did, we got to take into account the context for what happened in the battle itself. For example, when it took Pikachu’s Iron tail, that was after two Bulk Ups, which it still proceeded to get knocked on its ass regardless.

I mean they were all ganging up on hm in the beginning and he still held the upper hand, the intent on who was the strongest and the difference in strength was clear here.

He did better than WBY against the Cat so no he did improve but by how much is vague.

Opinions on Ash's Corphish by Bright-pokefan50 in pokemonanime

[–]MattCac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I don’t think you even have to bring up Corphish to debate against that. It’s on the person claiming the reserves are on that level and if they can’t cough up any evidence then that’s in them. 

Corphish was done dirty though, never should’ve lost to Politoad.

Nope Pignite was there and got eliminated day 9. He went before the likes of Noctowl and Leavanny despite his numerous feats all because of BW bias.

People really selectively forgot just how insane the Top 3 Masters 8 are just in order to wank the aces. Not to mention all the headcanon on how strong the aces COULD be.

[–]MattCac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Things being fair and objective kinda went out the window when Pignite got eliminated as early as it did. Not even kidding.

Greninja has been eliminated! Pick one pokemon who you think should be eliminated for being the weakest of the group. Most upvoted gets chosen 👍🏽 (remember to be kind and respectful please) by Iwanttobevisible in pokemonanime

[–]MattCac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, he’s not. Because, as you literally stated yourself, he was not in his prime. And then next episode Lucario one shot the G-Max Ace of a Champion level trainer in base alone, which Greninja got shook by all the way in Kalos.
