    I feel like the writers could have lessened the anger if they made Tobias start out with normal Pokémon and then revealed Darkrai and Latios as his trump cards. I imagine they could’ve made Ash comfortably beat his first 4 Pokémon while only losing 1 or 2 of his own, and then Tobias’ last 2 Pokémon could come out and wreak havoc. I think it would’ve been a nice and shocking surprise to everyone.

    • @PEEshooter-pr3sq
      @PEEshooter-pr3sq Před 2 lety +21

      I personally would have handled Tobias as a dark type trainer with darkrai being the last secret pokemon that wasn't revealed until ash fought him. Because he has a powerful tyranitar as 2nd last pokemon that destroys everyone. And ash being the only trainer that defeated tyranitar made Tobias to use his secret pokemon darkrai. I think this would have made Tobias a realistic character.
      His team would be:
      - spiritomb
      - houndoom
      - shiftry
      - absol
      - tyranitar
      - darkrai

      that was their ridiculous mindset. truth is series couldve gotten so much better had Ash become champion, just like Dragon Ball improved massively after Goku finally won the Martial Arts Tournament for the first time with the subsequent King Piccolo saga. instead they just asspulled legendary abuser and a massively rebooted Ash in Unova right after. seriously, not only Unova seasons are TRASH but Unova Ash is literally the worst. nonsensical how he went from that brilliant Sinnoh version to being an idiot who forgets his Snivy is a female (therefore its Attract doesnt work on fellow females), forgets to bring more than 1 pokemon to a 3v3 gym battle and cant beat a guy 6v5 in the league.
      its just a shame it took writers nearly 25 years and over 20 seasons to realize the main character achieving a goal doesnt neccessarily mean the series have to end there. by the time they did the series had already burned out and were way past their prime. Kalos was their last shot, specially given how brilliant XY series were. Alola and anything past that is just too little too late.

    I'm sure there's plenty of controversy around Tobias and his use of what's presumably an all legendary team but I kinda find him fascinating. I'd really be interested in seeing his back story and how he managed to find and catch so many legendaries. I also like how even though Ash lost at the semi finals it's established the runner up like everyone besides Ash lost solely to his Darkrai. So Ash actually could have been the true Sinnoh runner up, he was just unlucky to be matched up with Tobias in the semi finals. Being the only one in the Sinnoh league to actually beat his Darkrai was victory enough in my books.

    I'm sure that after winning the Sinnoh League and defeating the Elite Four of Sinnoh, once Tobias battled Cynthia, his Darkrai would have been no match for Cynthia's Spiritomb since it would have menacingly laughed at the Dream Eater and Dark Void that Darkrai had to offer. Also, Cynthia's Garchomp sweeping through Tobias's Latios and other Pokemon would have been the perfect redemption episode for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl for Ash's defeat.

    To be completely honest.. Seeing that episode as a kid truly confused me. I loved the Darkrai movie and seeing its battle in the anime and Latios is one of my favorite legendaries, But having them both? This kinda makes me so confused as to the status of legendary pokemon tbh.. Like it raises so many questions? Are there multiple Legendary pokemon? How did Tobias even get TWO of them- this also stands for Goh.. I like him- But I don't understand him literally catching Suicune when there are people like EUSINE MAKING IT THERE LIFE GOAL TO CAPTURE IT. We seen a shiny one in the Zoroark movie and one in the Celebi movie. So are there multiple suicune's? idk. It truly confuses me seeing trainers own legendary pokemon like that

    • @compucocina5567
      @compucocina5567 Před 3 lety +19

      I would say that YES, there is more than 1 leyendary or Mythical of many of the lengedaries and mythicals (tho i guess many of them are unique, Kyogre, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Arceus, and many more).
      This is true at least in the anime as we saw many cases of different legendaies appearing (Lugia with a baby, Regis that are captured but also wild Regis) we also have heard of Mythicals like Zarude (data says that THEY lived in a small pack in some jungle.)
      I also think that the series continuity and movies one are not in the same universe. Ash never mentions movie events in the series like when he sees Lugia, Moltres, Articuno, Latias, Latios, etc again.

      We have the same thought though. Many people owns legendary Pokemon but does that mean that it no longer exist or present to a specific region because a trainer already owns it. If there are multiple legendaries then it is not yet elucidated by the lore. If Pokemons are the only species that exist in the Pokemon universe does that also means that they use them as a source of food or there are also normal species adjacent to their universe?

    It's difficult to say what other pokemon he may have had. I'm sure the other 4 pokemon are legendaries (event pokemon for generation 4). He was Shadowy (dark-darkrai), Mysterious male (psychic-latios), Hair that flows (water-suicune), wore dark red clothing with eyes of steel (fire/steel-heatran), Cold personality (ice - articuno/regice), the guy in the class that listens to rock music (rock-regirock). It's possible with his Green eyes (grass-shaymin) and Latias rhymes with Tobias and may have been in the team. If he had pseudo pokemon due to his sandstorm clothing (tyranitar).

    Honestly, I think it would’ve been so much better if Darkrai was his ONLY Pokémon (at least that he entered into the league). Ash struggling to win, needing all 6 of his pokémon to defeat such an overwhelming force would’ve made for a compelling finale. Tobias solely relying on Darkrai, not even considering that ANYONE would be able to defeat it, would have been a good counter to Ash who strategically has trained with him entire team to win battles. Proving that it takes more than raw power to become a Pokémon Master.
    It would’ve been a great final clash of ideologies (kinda like how Paul was). Do you bet it all on a single legendary? Or do you, through training, strength, and growth, able to overcome all obstacles?

    Wasn't the lore that there is only ever one Mythical Pokémon in the Pokémon universe but exceptionally rare few Legendaries?
    While there is the few odd exception, such as Celebi being a Mythical Pokémon but since it can time travel dozens of Celebi can exist in the same timeline (though all the same/different incarnations of the same Celebi) and Entei, Suicune and Raiku being miscategorised as Legendary but are Mythical on account of their background history (which presumably has been retconned due to the appearance of multiple Suicune including a shiny variant in the anime and Tobias also possessing an Entei)... The anime takes inconsistent liberties that either directly contradicts or needlessly overcomplicates. Since Tobias possesses Latios, Entei and Darkrai, it can be assumed that Latios/Latias, Entei/Suicune/Raiku and Darkrai/Cresselia are no longer Mythical Pokémon. Since the legend of Suicune, Entei and Raiku hasn't changed, it can also be reasoned that even Ho-oh isn't Mythical now.
