I really don't get were all this "I'm going to get stronger and beat Shooti" crap is coming from after Ash lost to Shooti. Hello Ash, you could have just used Sceptile, Infernape, or some other powerhouses and you would have won.
LOL, imagine if those Pokemon got, "de-powered" the same way Pikachu does in the new region?
Imagine if Infernape lost to Shooti? lol, the outrage would be 10 times worse.
