Best Wishes Battle Catalog

[Ciccone]

Gym Battles are the only battles that count/seem important to you? Every battle that Valoo has listed is a battle, and as annoying as it may be that Snivy hasn't starred in a Gym, she's still doing very well.

It's pretty clear that you stan for Snivy.

I'm honestly upset that Stephan has won 71% of his battles. I'm starting to think that he really is one of Ash's rivals. I'm seething with anger. I yearn for some strong female rivals.

I just knew Cilan was going to have the best battle record.

:O

Nope. I stan for Oshawott and Snivy. Nothing more, nothing less. Come on Kira, you know I clearly state out the facts, and at the moment this definetly fits the case.

Bianca defeated the "main rival" in the Donamite, so I think Bianca will be different from all of the other female trainer. Well I hope so XD

That battle ranks pretty high up there with being the worst battles of the region.

The writers threw Bianca a bone after realizing she was so terrible, in my opinion. She'll have to do a lot more to redeem herself.

[Ciccone]

Even clearer that you stan for Oshawott.

I don't deny it, but what does it have to do with anything?

Nope. I stan for Oshawott and Snivy.

Yet you're only defending Snivy. I admit that she's won her share of battles, but even she doesn't come close to Oshawott's level. Maybe there's still hope for Snivy though. Maybe she'll get her chance to show us what she can do during the upcoming tournament.

[Valoo.]

It's a bit of an illusion. We see Pikachu battle a lot more then the other Pokemon. We kind of get used to seeing him winning against extremely powerful opponents, and when he loses people get surprised because he's so experienced. You don't really think of it from a " Pikachu is a living breathing thing in the anime that makes mistakes " angle more then a " Pikachu is so strong I can't believe it lost to a Snivy " angle. His losses seem to mean more to people because there's less to justify them beyond anime logic.

Since people seem interested I'll do the battling strength for the main Pokemon, too:

    Spoiler:

Rivals!

Bianca: 33% (On Screen. 45% otherwise.)
Trip: 54%
Burgundy: 0%
Georgia: 57%
Stephan: 71%

Interesting that Ash and Trip are even now.

Funny how Leavanny and Boldore are tied as Ash's second strongest. I would have expected Pignite to 'rank' higher too, with the amount he's been winning recently, but I guess he lost a lot as a Tepig. Georgia is surprisingly high there too.

Hey Valoo!

Good going on the rivals, but I spotted an error concerning Trip's Conkeldurr. You only mention it 'As Timburr' and then list the three battles it has had as Timburr, Gurdurr and Conkeldurr, but without calling them as such.

Thanks, edited that now.


Added Pansage's battle in today's episode.

[Haunter227]

Yet you're only defending Snivy. I admit that she's won her share of battles, but even she doesn't come close to Oshawott's level.

And there is a perfectly good reason as to why. That being that in this particular situation, Snivy is doing better than Oshawott. I'd love to see them on par, but they're not, and this can obviously be seen with Valoos battle catelog. Why doesn't she come close to Oshawott's level when she clearly has a better win/loss ratio?

Maybe there's still hope for Snivy though. Maybe she'll get her chance to show us what she can do during the upcoming tournament.

That'd be nice. I think she should have starred alongside Swadloon in Castelia Gym. I enjoy Pikachu being the star of the show, but for once even I feel that his win their wasn't needed considering he starred in two other gyms.

[Valoo.]

Updated with today's episode. I'm not counting Oshawott knocking itself out as a loss, either, since it seems sort of pointless.

e: Also edited in Dawn and Piplup (only detailing Piplup's battles in BW2), but I'll update with the rest of the team asap.

Why doesn't she come close to Oshawott's level when she clearly has a better win/loss ratio?

They're pretty much even, I'd guess. Snivy has more wins than losses (and one of those wins is sort of iffy), so even if she has won a higher percentage of her battles than Oshawott has, Oshawott still has more wins. They do like portraying her as a super strong sassy princes, though.

Hey, it has been a while since you updated the thread, also it may died soon, well not anymore as this resets the counter....but yeah.

[stanleysmith]

Here's some from the last couple of episodes that haven't been updated:

Ash:

Scraggy Vs. Larvitar- Draw
Pignite Vs. Mamoswine- Draw
Oshawott Vs. Dragonite- Defending Iris, no conclusion.

Iris:

Dragonite Vs. Hydreigon- Hydreigon, before capture.

Dawn:

Piplup Vs. Dragonite- Defending Iris, no conclusion.
Mamoswine Vs. Pignite- Draw.

I think this cover the ones that were missed from the last two episodes.

I had assumed that it had died out, so :U Thanks for bumping, I'll edit in the rest of the stuff now.

e: Haha, I can't believe that Leavanny is has the strongest battle stats out of Ash's current Pokemon.

Meh since a Sewaddle it was showing to be strong so Im not really surprised :P Except I woulda thought Pignite or Pikachu would be stronger, but at least a reserve is doing great

[Ciccone]

Oh look, Brinty updated the thread. I looked through Brinty's first post again, and I was stunned at how weak Ash's Starter Pokemon are. Pignite has won 47% of his battles, Oshawott has won 50%, and Snivy has won 55%? I honestly expected better numbers at this point in the saga. I hope they improve soon.

I'm sure you would.

We need TR getting blasted by them on rotation every week, to boost their ratio.

[sSerenity]

Leavanny is a beast

[An00bis]

Funny how Leavanny and Boldore are tied as Ash's second strongest.

Ash's Reserves are usually stronger then his in-Region Team. It might be because they're used in fewer battles.

I'll post the new win percentages after World Tournament.

[Ciccone]

I'm sure you would.

I just find it strange. Ash's Starter Pokemon are usually his strongest, but in this saga, his reserve Pokemon seem to be the strongest of the batch. The irony here is that Ash doesn't use his reserve Pokemon often, yet they're much more reliable than his main ones. It's sad that the writers/producers only care about marketability, but that's just how it is.

[AceDetective]

It's hard to believe Oshawott hasn't had an official battle since Clay. Him and Snives really need to be used in battle more, while the reserves need more out of battle scenes

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Yup, the reserves have been pretty pretty well battle wise after the Clay gymm, besides maybe Palpitoad but well...

I agree I want to see Oshawott and Snivy battle soon but it migth only happen in the league at this point, after they are done with Drayden and TR the league is next.

we may have to wait until the league for snivy, but I'm hoping for something from oshawott during the rocket/meleotta thing
