I guess it's more of a 'that's really weird!' than a 'I'm completely blind to instructions'.
Anime Spoilers XYZAsh may not be "cool looking" in the traditional sense, but my GOSH he sucks far worse than one would think. Why can't he win? Why can't he even qualify to take on the Elite Four? Why does he lose any time, even in the season with some of the best writing and plot development in the series?
(SPOILER)Because at least one show needs to teach children that no one is special and ultimately the chance of doing something worthwhile is incredibly slim and it's important to make the best of what you have to be happy instead of making you being happy or unhappy be dependent on whether or not you achieve a specific, hardly reachable goal?
Wow, if that was intentional, Pokemon may actually be one of the most important kids' shows, like, ever!
(SPOILER)I wouldn't mind that he not reaches the goal. But, if he's going to do nothing but fail at the first step (he has to win the League to challenge the Elite Four and Champion, it's not a victory in itself), he needs to either get a new goal, or give up. He's been going at this for 20 years. There's a great lesson for kids: Waste the majority of your life on a goal that you will never attain.(SPOILER)Because at least one show needs to teach children that no one is special and ultimately the chance of doing something worthwhile is incredibly slim and it's important to make the best of what you have to be happy instead of making you being happy or unhappy be dependent on whether or not you achieve a specific, hardly reachable goal?

He doesn't even make progress, and his losses aren't even justified. No matter how much preparation he goes in with, no matter how well built or balanced his team is, he can't hope to win. Be they need to pull a random trainer (who didn't even take part in the League opening) with two Legendaries, or by having his own mythical Ash-Greninja lose to Fire-Type moves (yes, that's what happened, his once-in-a-thousand-years Pokémon lost to Ember), he will never win.
There is no drama there. There is no hope. There is no point to going on. The status quo is the supreme deity of Pokémon. Even kids will get tired of the same thing happening every time.
Let him win the League, for once, and get trounced by the Elite Four. Let there be some growth on his journey. But, there isn't. "Try forever, you'll never get anywhere" is the message of Pokémon.
I may nominate Poochyena from Gen III as another. He's so cute and cool looking and yet, he's utterly garbage compared to everything you encounter that isn't Psychic type. Even Zagazoon, who has inferior stats, wipes the floor with this guy thanks to STAB advantage.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
But Poochyena has Bite and Crunch! Those are dark type moves from Gen II onwards, and Poochyena learns them pretty early on!
It took forever to learn Bite and considering how uncommon Psychic types are usually, I doubt I'll get much use of it before I stumble upon a better Dark Type.

(SPOILER)I remember he fought Agatha once, and she completely dominated their battle.(SPOILER)I wouldn't mind that he not reaches the goal.

Onix is pretty bad, but I think Steelix is good, so there's that.
Last time I played through Y my Steelix, Hortense, was a smurfing monster who rekt faces.
