THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

And another defeat in the league where the champion win the title with one Eevee. In the images there was a guy with red/orange hair that i thought would be another bad ass but with as only one more participant.

Come N serie, let's see what you have to show but it will be a very different season from the normal. We won't have fight for badges and since next gen will only start at the end of Summer i think they will really bet in the history this time (ofc with limitations like usual but they need to do that). Ash just need to get back Charizard, Infernape and Gliscor and we will fight all legendaries that can appear xD

This... went as expected, I guess :P
I like the Iron Tail clash though.

Regardless, I really DO HOPE that Ash wins the league someday & have him battle the Elite Four and Champion (where it'd be OK for him to lose), to at least show progress on his part

Why does it says there's only 24 episodes? There's like 49 episodes for Rival Destinies! I'm really confused. Can somebody light me up on this one?

Because Best wishes season 2 starts with the episode when cynthia apperas while rival destinies starts when elesa appears so those series don't coincide

WOOT VIRGIL WON :D *Screw you Satoshi/Ash, I was rooting for Virgil the whole time rofl* Power of the Eevee + Eeveelutions ftw

Looks like Ash's stuck at Top 8 again >_> nothing new I guess though it really does bother me why they dont want him to win so badly LOL

But Best wishes season 2 is Rival Destinies, that's the full name of the serie "Best Wishes season 2 - Rival Destinies", isn't? And Cynthia does not arrive at the 24th episode anyway... man I'm so confused.

Wow , can't this anime be more lame ? When will Ash win something ? How does a 99 lvl Pikachu loose to a barely evolved Lucario , this series is beyond me ... do kids like it ? I mean what's the point of making the main character be dumb and terrible ???

Blunt, but I kind of agree. I honestly don't understand why the writers feel it would be such a terrible idea to let Ash win just ONE major league.

I really wish Ash would had called upon the help of any of his way more powerful and experienced Pokemon. Also, I saw "Leaf Blade", "Leaf Storm" and "Vine Whip" but no fourth move. Did "Tsutarja" forget Attract or was that move not used simply because it would have been anti-climatic?

The Sinnoh league was a gazillion times more satisfying than this in my opinion. This felt so small time. Looking forward to the next adventure. ^_^

Well i get a little bored in this league, we know that satoshi is not red but the diamond and pearl league was a lot more interesting in all concepts. This one feel so rush and stupid with satoshi doing nothing special in it, i dont feel that this guy was a battle brain candidate, anymore.

Waiting some subs for N Saga, it seems a bit different with out the pokemon master thing and badges collect.


I'm agree, this league sucked really hard, Ash got few evolutions and got in the best 8 again. His party in the last battle was terrible. The battle of the last badge was way better than any of the league.

Damn, this must be the most disappointing Pokemon League that i've ever watched.. Trip was a wasted potential after the whole buildup and development while i thought Cameron was kinda meh as a rival.. The end of the tournament is rushed AF (at least they can show us Cameron vs Virgil) so overall this is probably the worst Pokemon League to date and i hope they won't make this kind of mistake in the future :/

nooo ash,.. you were the choosen one !!!!

pikachu gets obliterated by aura sphere.
Ash why didn't you activate your plot armor!
dang oh well. Can't win them all. Writers teaching the viewers that its okay to lose.

Ash loses kanto league , Johto , hoenn, sinnoh (sinnoh doesn't count that was a cheat) now Unova. GG .
they shake hands after and the kid says he gana win for him. Then he loses and we couldn't see it all. That eevee guy wins the league and off to the champions league. He's gana face the elite four and champion now? idk if we'll see that. He is pretty strong though. I'm not mad he won the league. I'm mad that ash didn't train enough i mean he is still using snivy , Oshawatt. (If he brought his other regions pokemon he def could of won like Charizard, Sceptile but he did say he wanted to win with only pokemons he caught there so it's understandable. )
still , he could have gotten stronger if he evolved them because they get more stronger
(pikachu is exception because thats a legendary *joking* )

now what he gana do now? its over. But now lets see...

And in true fashion Ash loses again.

These 24 episodes just felt like a lot of nostalgia bringing back a lot of old favourites.
Dawn, Onix, Dragonite, Eevee, Giovanni etc.
It had some decent moments but nothing different from the first season of B&W imo.
