Ash's loss in the Sinnoh League. Absolutely insulting to the audience.

Arguably one of the least insulting one because he fought hard against a legendary trainer and personally I didn’t want Ash to win the Sinnoh League. Tobias’s existence is ridiculousAsh's loss in the Sinnoh League. Absolutely insulting to the audience.
I mean at least Ash lost knowing he was the only person to take out 2 of Tobias's pokemon when no one else in that league could even beat his first. I say overall Ash's Unova and Kalos league losses are more insulting.Ash's loss in the Sinnoh League. Absolutely insulting to the audience.
Tobias' existence in the first place was absurd and contrived.I mean at least Ash lost knowing he was the only person to 2 of Tobias's pokemon when no one else in that league could even beat his first. I say overall Ash's Unova and Kalos league losses are more insulting.
Oh don't get me wrong that very true. But overall I just find the losses to Cameron and Alain to be worst.Tobias' existence in the first place was absurd and contrived.
That is a large part of why the trope creeps me out and I absolutely hate it when the writers decide to make Ash or Goh look like they are nine months pregnant.That one episode with Team Rocket getting fat is my least favorite episode of DP because of that. Jessie looked pregnant.
I’d say Ash being de-facto the second most powerful trainer to enter that league is better than whatever mess Unova was…Ash's loss in the Sinnoh League. Absolutely insulting to the audience.
I don’t really like the trope but to be fair on the writers, it’s hardly exclusive to Pokémon. Most children’s shows tend to spam the trope a LOT, and as far as I remember (haven’t watched the recent episodes, going off from my experience as a kid 5-7 years ago) Pokémon is actually pretty conservative on it compared to some other cartoons.That is a large part of why the trope creeps me out and I absolutely hate it when the writers decide to make Ash or Goh look like they are nine months pregnant.
I get the impression they think its somehow funny but it just isn't. It really makes me wonder about the writers sometimes.
i have.... MANY thoughts on the aether arc but i honestly admittedly can't really bring myself to say i truly hate it in spite of that. this, however, is one of my biggest issues. also i know you mean him being demoted by downgrade but the thing is? after this point the bastard pretty much just becomes comedy relief as if he didn't fuckin cause lillie's trauma. i will also never be over the fact that THEY LET HIM SHOW UP TO TEACH. LIKE THE EP ITSELF IS JUST WACKY SHENANIGANS BUT WHY DID THEY LET HIM TEACH I WILL NEVER BE OVER THAT WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL.Yet, after everything he done so far, they invited him to Kukui's wedding! There was no real comeuppance other than some alleged downgrade.
also, i don't remember that being established anywhere? i mean i remember gladion assuming that lusamine knew about all that ultra wormhole bullshit but i don't remember faba telling him anythingGladio abandoned both her and their mother because Sauboh told him that Lusamine is responsible for what happened to Lilie, and Gladio believed some creepy looking dude instead of his own family.
ok ok last part i promise. anyway as someone who found some of lusamine's behavior hitting EXTREMELY close to home, dear god the way they just. listen maybe i'm kinda biased cause vague gameverse gesturing but dear god i cannot see her as a good person. anyway yeah i'm no good with words but i think i vaguely remember that second part being some common family movie trope and the fact that they reduced it all to THAT is just. holy shit.Writers can't decide on whether Lusamine is a mother too much involved in Lilie's life, or whether she's too busy because of the work and can't interact with Lilie.
"Hey kids, do you remember the scientist that traumatized Lilie by one of his machines? He's here now to show you another one of his machines!"i will also never be over the fact that THEY LET HIM SHOW UP TO TEACH. LIKE THE EP ITSELF IS JUST WACKY SHENANIGANS BUT WHY DID THEY LET HIM TEACH I WILL NEVER BE OVER THAT WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL.
Don't remember which episode established that, but he was lying to Gladio about their mother's involvement and knowledge about these events. Only after episode that 49 Gladio learned that his mother didn't know anything.also, i don't remember that being established anywhere? i mean i remember gladion assuming that lusamine knew about all that ultra wormhole bullshit but i don't remember faba telling him anything
Kukui and Burnet seem like rather forgiving people. They aren't the type of folks that will hold grudges even when it would be justified.Faba being invited to the wedding will always be one of the biggest wtf moments in the anime for me lmao like...I get they wanted him to stick around so he could be ~redeemed~ or whatever but Kukui and Burnet actually WANTING him there was just weird lol
Oh absolutely, and I love Kukui and Burnet, don't get me wrong. But if it were my wedding there's no way in hell Faba would have been allowed to attendKukui and Burnet seem like rather forgiving people. They aren't the type of folks that will hold grudges even when it would be justified.

Actually my fav. series are the SM, but yea, like you already said, it's kinda... b o r e d.Ash losing in the final battle of the Kalos League to Alain, on a type matchup that he should have won, with some of the biggest hype and momentum ever on the series.
The SM artstyle was bad too (but that's just my opinion), but the real bad part about it is that it wasn't like XY(Z) at all in that it was more slice-of-life than XYZ, which was shonen, and shonen fit way more.
Sorry, I tend to hate on Alola/SM a bit too much, I get that people love it for perfectly valid reasons too :3
I don't think a new thread is necessary considering he's old news now.ok @ the current conversation. this is actually tempting me to go and make a separate faba hate thread or something like that. but god yeah they really did go "yeah faba's not evil now source dude trust us" huh.
They could arrest him?On an occasion like this, as counterintuitive as it sounds, it might actually be better to keep somebody you don't like, ESPECIALLY somebody like Faba or the TRio, within eyesight as much as possible. If they hadn't invited Faba then the guy would be hanging out in offscreenland doing Arceus knows what whereas by having him there they could be better prepared to react if he tried any stunts.
But they didn't, for whatever reason.I don't think a new thread is necessary considering he's old news now.

Dude's a creep. Aaaand to add insult to injury he uses what might just be the creepiest Pokemon ever, Hypno. I guess it's the perfect Pokemon for him though. Creepy Pokemon for creepy dude.Oh absolutely, and I love Kukui and Burnet, don't get me wrong. But if it were my wedding there's no way in hell Faba would have been allowed to attend
