I stopped watching Pokémon during its first year and I've just seen it's still going. Has Ash managed to catch 'em all? The first gen ones at least, I obviously don't expect him to have caught all the silly modern pokedex.

Oh user, you should have see /vp/ last Tuesday...

>Has Ash managed to catch 'em all?
He hasn't ever actually tried.
Also, people have been saying XY(Z) is great up until last week, when the writers decided to make everyone angry with something that makes no sense at all.
Ash became competent, made a strong enough team, unlocked some legendary generic shonen anime friendship-powered new exclusive form for his water ninja frog that is extremely powerful and rare. He got to the finals in the league. The legendary water ninja frog had the last part of the last battle. And lost to a Charizard owned by a bad guy for no actual reason.

> And lost to a Charizard owned by a bad guy for no actual reason.
I'd like to mention that he had no interest in the league at all and only entered it because ash told him to. He literally cucked himself out of the championship.

Thursday.

>made a strong enough team
Evidently not.

Well, he never got to the final battle before.

Doesn't matter if you lose by an inch or a mile - Losing is losing, and Ash is a LOSER.

>Has Ash managed to catch 'em all?

Pretty sure that was just a dub tagline, but no. He's never really even tried, honestly. I mean it took him until Hoenn to catch a Beedrill, I think? And he immediately gave it away.

The Gotta catch 'em All tagline is an American thing. In Japan it's just "Get Pokemon"

>Has Ash managed to catch 'em all?
No. That is not and was never his goal.

So you're saying the theme song lied to me?

No we're saying you're a retarded redditor.

Yes. You should listen the original Japanese ones, which will tell you what the series is about: looking for Pokémon between girls' legs.

4kids' dub was pretty much constantly lying to you.

Yes. Also I hate to break it to you, but those white and black things they ate were in fact NOT donuts.

It's ash's fault for fighting for himself and not to protect his waifu's smile like Alain

But, but... they were jelly filled!

you got it Ash is a Loser
the team on the other hand was quite good which obviously is not enough to counter horrible writers

The only reason the pokemon anime would ever end is if the pokemon games stop getting made. If the games were discontinued, would that mean the anime would get a proper ending? And would the ending just be Ash finally winning a tournament?

I doubt it. it would not surprise me if they have trash lose yet again and then just have an adventure continues ending.

>Ash's team
>Good
>Has three things weak to ice
>Hawlucha isn't even that good
>Goodra's main move is fucking Bide
>Noivern is mediocre

Now, I'm not saying that game logic is the same as anime logic. I'm not saying that just because something is good in the games, it's good in the anime and vice versa.

But Pikachu fucking carried that team.

You have nothing to suggest that they'd do that and the idea that they would end it like that is really fucking stupid.
>b-but Ash didn't win this time, or the other times that means he'll never win!
He didn't win this time or any of the other times because the show wasn't and isn't ending, simple as that.

Okay, but when it all comes down the way I'm predicting it will you can come back and say "Goddamnit you were right again. Are you ever wrong?"

the episode was bullshit he was 4 - 2 up and a bisharp that was on its knees one shot his fucking goodra.

I'll remember to come back and not say that in X years when I'm ineveitably right.

there is nothing saying if he wins the show has to end, he could win and then decide immediately afterward to continue travelling on
