[RODAN]

[Metal Bagon]

Wasn't there a Darkrai last season? I don't watch but I seem to remember seeing it somewhere.

 

[ck49]

My money's on the Makuhita.

 

[Thorns]

i love the pokemon anime, i remember someone using a darkrai and latios against ash in the last season of diamond/pearl and he 4-0d ash like a boss

also wtf lickilicky with its tongue in its mouth

 

[Andy Snype]

Certainly beats Bellsprout almost kicking the shit out of Ash.

that match was pretty enjoyable iirc, twists and a fun ending though I haven't seen it in like 10+ years.

the darkrai guy seem really dumb though, what an overpowered character. More or less rules out any chance of ash winning (even though that rarely happens, it is still a kick in the teeth).

 

[RitterCat]

more importantly there is a purugly in the second picture
prepare to be dominated

 

[King Serperior]

Checkmate!!! Best episode, mind you.

Yeah, that was pretty terrible writing that ruined any kind of hype around the legendary Pokemon. Darkrai is so terrifying that it can stop Dialga and Palkia from fighting...also random guy you never see again "has one". And a Latios. Just like that.

 

[Jibaku]

i enjoyed the addition of darkrai because I'm (obv) a fan of ubers and whatever gets ash destroyed the fastest works for me.

I think the de-valuing of legendaries comes naturally with time and technology as people are slowly becoming more confident and capable in handling them

 

[Codraroll]

I've read somewhere that the guy with Darkrai/Latios might represent the newbies who trade over powerful Pokémon to their game to sweep the Elite Four, because they can't do it the proper way.

Or people who hack their way to victory. Can't really remember which theory was more prevalent.

 

[Danmire]

Well, didn't the Frontier Brains in the "Battle Frontier" season use Legendaries?

 

[MrChar]

Interesting theory on legendary for the elite.
Too bad, this devalues ​​the legendary.

 

[Nastyjungle]

you say finally like this episode didnt air some 2 years ago

Too bad it wasn't gradual. It was just "a wild guy with legendaries appears" and it only happened like once. Next occasion Ash and co. see a legendary they still go "ooh" and "aah".

That's the impression I get, but if the writers intended it like that they would've made that legendary trainer much less respected by the other characters.

Yeah, but they are special people that pretty much proved themselves worthy of wielding them by becoming a frontier brain.

At the battle frontier were great.
Telling the legendary, Mewtwo is that made ​​him look great.

 

[Smaug]

The Heatran looks like it's about to eat that Purugly.

 

[Every1XplodeNOW]

There's also that Nurse Joy who has a Latias.

Also in Best Wishes season 2, Meloetta is suppose to join Ash for his journey. Now I don't know if that means he's actually going to catch it or if it's going to be like Manaphy.

 

[MrChar]

They tell that only follow him.

 

[Raverist]

Pffffft.

True folks don't need legends to win. They just need TechniLoom.

 

[Cherub Agent]

I think they used the Darkrai/Latios guy simply as a means to make sure Ash didn't win the Sinnoh league. Ash was simply getting too powerful, and they had to resort to using Ubers to keep him in check.

 

[Eraddd]

In the final part of that episode, it was Cynthia vs Red Afro in the finals. So does that mean Cynthia's Garchomp or Red Afro's Infernape took down a team of legendaries...?

 

[Raverist]

Nah, Cynthia and Shit E4 Member were simply having a tourney finisher battle. The uber using kid won the tourney, but was later disqualified for breaking the rules that said tourney was for OU and below.

 

[Atticus]

the show needs to die

 

[Zoro]

the Bellsprout fight was the best thing ever

seriously, how can you not like this
