What I don't understand is how Ash manage to beat the Battle Frontier then proceed to loose all of his League Challenges.
The problem is that every time Ash fought an E4 member, he battled them with the still in-training regional team. Ash is at his best when the team is fully trained and has access to his reserves.
The only thing stopping Ash from winning a league is his desire to start anew each region. It's a great long term strategy that has build him an insanely powerful rooster, but I think he has more than enough power houses to take the E4.
Honestly i think he does have the roster to beat an e4 member with a fully secked out team he managed to beat all the frontier brains an they had equal skills to e4 members i feel now that hisi think his next league might be a good onecharizards back
So what are his best pokemon now?
End of Season Pikachu, Charizard, Snorlax ???????
Didnt they bring him back
I recall Ash beating some tough ass people, and his pikachu being so "leveled up" and near the start of the "next chapter" of his journey his pikachu ends up losing to a kid's starter pokemon who the kid has only been with for less than a month. I was like "okay, screw it, this is too much of a reset."
Didnt they bring him back
Less diversity in the Battle Frontier? :/ It seems like a super condensed version of the normal leagues that skips the League battles pre-Champion League that Ash usually loses in.

But the trainers in the Battle Frontier and way above the level of your average trainer in the pre-Champion League. Ash managed to go toe-to-toe with legendaries such as Articuno and Regice and came out victorious. Logic dictate that he should be able to blitz through the pre-Champion League with sheer power alone but he haven't even reach the Elite Four once.
You know it will be kicked in the ass by some trainer using a suicune or kyorge or some bullshit like that.
Really, shinnoh league?
Pikachu, Charizard and Sceptile are top tier, since they have defeated legendaries.So what are his best pokemon now?

Oh christ, read that as Infernrape and had to look it up because I thought you were joking. ):Hes actually has a lot of competent pokemon espcially in the sinnoh saga he now has a ton of power houses like infernape and torterra
For what it's worth, Best Wishes was their attempt at a reboot. I've been hoping that the changing demographics for the games would do something to convinced the top brass to shake up the anime to the point that it'd be at least somewhat accessible to a slightly older audience.They really need to reboot the anime.
They must be saving an actual Elite Four matchup for the anime's endgame. It's the only reason why they probably won't let Ash actually get to the Champion League. He can win in the leagues where it doesn't matter (Orange, Battle Frontier) but then when it comes to possibly becoming a Champion, they kick him out in the quarterfinals.
I do feel that best wishes like the games it self did a decent job in trying to reboot the series in some ways for example iris and cilan remind me of the first seasons misty and brock albeit written differently ( and somewhat poorly)For what it's worth, Best Wishes was their attempt at a reboot.

But I have to say Ash Ketchum is such a fucking loser and it's painful.
He loses every Pokemon League and it's pathetic!
I understand the reasoning but I just wish that there at least some consistency in the anime. The Unova League was an absolute joke (Evolution = Free Win). Even if he wasn't using his power houses, Ash's skill as a trainer should easily made it so he could reach higher than the Top Four (which is the highest the he ever get in the anime if I'm not wrong).
What happened to his Charizard? Didn't he let him go after like the third movie or something? I stopped watching after that.
OP is right, Ash is a looser.

Besides them, I also consider Snorlax, Heracross, Infernape and Krookodile among the top fighters.
He never releases his Charizard, he just decide to let it train and become stronger in the Charizard Valley. It's actually back in the current anime season and still bossing as ever.
He was allowed to train at some Charizard sanctuary thing... and he recently came back (in the dub) to Ash's Black and White team. His comeback episode was pretty epic with a lot of reanimated scenes from the Kanto region.

To be fair he did catch a gible its just too bad he left t as a gible i really wish he evolved it it even knows draco meteor :/Ash needs a psuedo legendary on his team, give the kid a fully evolved dragon dammit.
Well then I think I may have to check out these new episodes.
Did Misty ever come back? , what about Brock. Wasn't there a reference to a possible romance between Ash and Misty, did anything ever come of that?
The show never seem to go anywhere, a large part if the show seem to be filler.
Never understood why if they didn't get a new main character for every region.
you mean to tell me that motherfucker STILL hasn't won a goddamn League? good lord.
I sympathized with Ash for getting wrecked in the Sinnoh League. That wasn't even fair. However, all my sympathy got tossed out the window when he pulled out a fucking Gible. Really? I get it, Pikachu is your friend and all that. He's pretty strong. It's also pretty cool that you actually had an Infernape. That's at least some progress. You're evolving your Pokemon. But then you bring out a FUCKING GIBLE? He deserved to lose.
Speaking of TR, I hate how they made them all gritty grimdark up until the events leading to the Unova League and then reverted them to blasting off again hijinks afterwards.I only watched the show for Team Rocket.
Ash is a loser though.
Sounds like they really fucked up the show.That's because from Kanto to Sinnoh, it was basically all filler except for the gym battles/contest battle/league episodes. At least in Unova, there are plans being executed and the area being in danger of being destroyed by legendaries and all that.
Misty popped back in at some point in Hoenn where her Togepi evolved, but since then she's only been referenced a few times. She may come back as a cameo at some point but she won't be a main character again, it seems. (May and Dawn also popped in a season after they left the show) It's a shame really, I always liked Misty best of all his female companions. Brock is known for being one of the longest running main characters in the show after Ash and Pikachu (maybe Team Rocket too) but now that he's studying to become a Pokemon doctor, he's gone for the time being.
Last time he came close, he had no chance against a Legendary hoarder who came out of nowhere. It was a lame move... essentially they had him go against someone who used PokeSAV.
Sounds like they really fucked up the show.
so what you're telling me is that this kid has made essentially no progress since i stopped watching the show years and years ago.
