Ash should have changed his team

Hades0918

Major Spoilers From The End of Journeys

It's been years

I know

But it's bugging me right now so I'm saying something!

Ash should have changed his team before going into the championships!

The only Pokémon I think he should have kept is Lucario

By default he's using Pikachu

The rest need switched out

Infernape, Charizard, Hawlucha, and Incinaroar

I'd love to switch Pikachu with Sceptile, but Ash would never do that

Infernape has only lost once (if memory serves)

Charizard is just flat out powerful (his Charizard is what made me love Charizard in the first place)

Hawlucha is agile and strong and willing to challenge any and all

And we never got to see Incinaroar in battle. It evolved at the end of the series. However, it took out an Incinaroar, Kukui's to be exact, so you know it's strong

I want his Sceptile though because, not only is it cool, I remember it being powerful

Another one I want is Greninja

Literally in Ash's top 3 best Pokémon

However, he literally can't use it

It has to protect Kalos

I just wish we got to see Ash-Greninja one last time, and seeing it in the championships would have been amazing!

So just to sum it up, Pikachu, Charizard, Lucario, Infernape, Hawlucha, and Incinaroar

He could still use Mega Evolution (Lucario), G-Max (Pikachu), and Z-Move (literally any of them)

And it's not like he didn't have time before the championship match

He was literally at the lab a few days before it!

And it's not hard to get Pokémon sent to him

It was possible!

Also, why was Dawn the only person to show up for Ash?

Misty, Cilan, and Clemont couldn't due to being Gym Leaders

Iris was there as a challenger

Serena (and possibly May) wouldn't make it because of contest stuff

That's the only people that I think are okay they missed it

But Brock ain't even a Gym Leader any more!

He works at a Pokémon Center now!

Nurse Joy would have let him take the day off to see Ash battle!

The whole Alola group could have made it (except Lillie and Gladion)

Kukui could have made it a "school trip" and they could have went and watched it

But no!

And his mom and Professor Oak just sat and watched it on the TV!

Oak's make sense

He has to run a lab

BUT HIS MOTHER DIDN'T COME!?

And I don't think she works, so I bet she could have came!

But she didn't!

You know what's funny?

Team Rocket was there to cheer him on but yet most of his friends and mother wasn't

That's one of the many reasons them three are the best!

Something that annoyed me was Ash and Serena reunited and there was no talk anout the kiss

No hint at any feelings

I don't ship the two of them, but that upset me!

I always wondered what would happen when they saw each other again and that was not what I expected

It was pretty disappointing!

…

So this became more than what I meant for

You know, the funny thing is I'm quite happy with how the series ended

But based on all that you'd probably think otherwise!

Hey_PIKMIN

I think the Masters 8 first round should've been full 6v6 battles, and ash should've rotated his pokemon around for it.

Here's how it could've worked:

Round 1: Gengar, Pikachu, Sirfetch'd, Dragonite, Dracovish, Lucario.

Round 2: Lucario, Pikachu, Infernape, Bulbasaur, Talonflame, Incineroar.

Round 3: Pikachu, Lucario, Infernape, Charizard, Sceptile, Lycanrock,

Hey_PIKMIN

I tried to rep each region except Johto.

Hey_PIKMIN

Infernape is here twice because of how much Journeys focused on him, and because he seemed like a vital pokemon for both matches.

Not bad choices, @Hey_PIKMIN

I almost did Lycanroc but chose Incinaroar since we never got to see it in battle

However, I like your idea

That would have been much more entertaining
