Was there anything you liked/enjoyed about the league?

[Dracoflare]

Shipping is good and all, but outside of that and the few league announcements, the whole "Axew Gets Lost" episode felt like a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment. It was just a weird episode and really served no purpose other than to give an excuse to skip some rounds of battle that we would've actually enjoyed to watch. In a nutshell, the whole Unova League felt more like another overglorified Don Battle Tournament. The only battles that we really saw were ones against rivals, and that is stale at best.

That's the problem with you. The way you see the Axew episode is wrong. It is a filler between the League, but how different is it from a filler before or after the league? It is not. The Axew Gets Lost shouldn't be blamed for the Unova League to be crappy. The writers could have written the league damn well and still have this episode.

Axew Gets Lost is an entertaining (not amazing) episode and actually felt more like a League episode (with all the amazing festivities). A very good league which ranges for a span of 7-8 episodes will become excelllent with a filler like this. The league is not just about the battles, it is about the festivities also.

So yeah, don't blame the Axew Gets Lost episode for the league to be crappy. If anything, blame any of the other crappy fillers in the rest of Best Wishes if you want.

A few minor things:

-The intro flashback of Gym Battles
-Pikachu's Electroball/Irontail combo against Serperior
-Ash vs Stephan
-Ash vs Cameron (Pikachu vs Lucario inparticular)
-Ending flashback of Ash's Unova Journey

[Cresselia92]

What I liked is:

- Ash vs Stephan
- Lucario vs Pikachu
- the quality of the animation

Nothing else, unfortunately.

no, i can't find anything really. The battles were nothing special, and there wasn't anything that we haven't seen before. The rivals were treated poorly. It felt more like this was don tournament instead of a league. Most of it was rushed and Ash losing to a noob, compared to how he battled paul and tobias, makes this possibly the worst league ever. If there is anything that i liked was that team rockets wasn't there, and that filler episode was ok. Maybe not the appropriate time to showcase it, but i didn't mind it.

[PrinceGray]

The only part I enjoyed was when it ended.

Actually I don't even know why shipping had to be a factor in this. And if I remember correctly, Bianca had lost, so she shouldn't have even been there to begin with anymore just like Ash left when he lost.

[Pokemaniac24]

The fact that now since it's over we get Episode N and the fact that it was 6 episodes so it was shorter than usual.

[Shneak]

- Ash vs Stephan
- Pikachu vs Lucario
- Flashback montage and the ending

[Pepsi_Plunge]

- Serperior vs Pikachu
- Belle vs Kotetsu(didn't dislike it)
- Kenyan vs Satoshi
- Lucario vs Pikachu(yeah)
- Rival interactions
- Old trainers coming back and being part of the tournament showing continuity for the first time

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

I liked:

Jalorda vs Pikachu
Bel vs Kotetsu
Ash vs Stephan
Ash vs Kotetsu (mainly Tsutarja vs Riolu)
Didn't see the new episode yet.

But, pretty much everything.

[BlueDragonfangirl]

Only two things...

-Ash V.S Stephan
-The ending

Oh thats all =/

[gohan5]

What I liked:

Ash vs Trip (using Iron Tail/Electro Ball combo was a nice touch of strategy we've been missing)
Bianca vs Cameron (liked the battle, not necessarily the outcome)
Ash vs Stephan
Ash vs Cameron (Snivy vs Riolu and Pikachu vs Lucario)
The ending with Ash reflecting on his journey

[Street Comedy]

I like the fact that it finally ended this terrible saga.

Ash vs Stephan was an okay battle I guess.

[Joltik-Kid]

This question is like trying to find a safe spot in a field of mines... your not likely to find one. Coarse this is strictly opinionated so I can't speak for everyone.

Although it was taken way too far and way out of line, I guess I like it's originality... minus the whole main rival battle didn't bring any sort of real closure.

Seems like the only thing people disliked is Satoshi vs Shooti being 1vs1 and most of the Kotetsu figth.

Anyway this is to talk about the positives Joltik there are thread for the negatives.

You know things are bad when you're inclined to agree with this. :x

I guess I'll repeat what I said in the other thread: the animation was good. Then again, the same could be said about most Leagues since they're meant to be the highlight of their respective sagas. I wish the animators would pay more attention to detail in regular episodes as well, but what are you gonna do? They're obviously on a tight budget.

Fine... maybe that was a bit too negative.

I did enjoy what battles we received... just not all their outcomes

[Locormus]

What I liked?
- Kotetsu being 4-6'd in his battle with Virgil. This made Ash look like an even bigger tool though, but if Virgil was to win the tournament, then why not?

It took Ash 6 pokemon to take down 4 of Kotetsu's.
It took Kotetsu 6 pokemon to take down 3 of Virgils.

So with a little bit of math, totally not taking into account that Ash might make better choices vs. Virgil:
It takes 1.5 of Ash's pokemon to take down 1 of Kotetsu's pokemon.
It takes 2 of Kotetsu's pokemon to take down 1 of Virgil's pokemon.

Meaning it would take Ash THREE pokemon to take down ONE of Virgil's pokemon..

Which would've lead Ash to a 6-2 loss in the Top4.. Now where did I hear that before? That's funny, I like that coincidence! :P

What else did I like?
- Leavanny activating Swarm, but it proving not to be enough. Apparently, only evolution can save a dire situation.. end bitter remark
- Palpitoad getting a tie, and a mention of being alive still. However, it's record vs. Zebstrika is going down the drain.. end bitter remark
- Iwane giving us a good troll with the epic: "Unfezant is going to get a new move"-trolling.. He had us, and we fell for it!

But yeah, honestly, I liked that Palpitoad and Leavanny got completed movesets, and that Pignite got Brick Break.

It kinda gave me that feeling that Ash's team should just have consisted of: Pikachu, Unfezant, Pignite, Leavanny, Palpitoad and Krookodile, perhaps Boldore as the late 7th member, but the rest fell flat, movesetwise. sorry, offtopic

umm stephan battle
and no TEAM ROCKET DO SOMETHING UNIMPORTANT IN THE LEAGUE , I RATHER CHOSE AXEW POINTLESS FILLER THEN THEY APPEAR

But Axew took up an entire episode, TR only takes a third or so.. Given, their 'interruption' of Quilava's only battle was offputting, but overall, I'd rather have that then what we had now..

I disliked pretty much everything about this league.

Trip not getting a full battle, that annoying idiot Kotetsu winning only because of his Riolu evolving, Ash not getting the chance to battle Virgil, pretty much all of it. I guess Ash vs Stephan was decent, but I didnt like how Leavanny didnt get to beat Sawk instead of OP Krookodile (who pretty much became a beast that couldnt lose anymore after reaching his final form, he was useless before that)

It's about what you liked..
