A Reddit post that vanished hinted at some fans feeling annoyed seeing Pikachu and Charizard always in big Pokémon fights. This sparks a chat: who really shines in the Pokémon anime, the creatures or their trainers?
Big Battles, Big Questions
In the Pokémon show, battles like Ash vs. Paul or Ash vs. Gary at different conferences steal the show. Here, both trainers and their Pokémon grab the spotlight. A Reddit user recently noted how Pikachu and Charizard always end up in these major clashes. This observation made fans ponder if the series focuses more on its iconic Pokémon or the trainers.
Notable Matches
One unforgettable match is Ash’s battle against Gary at the Johto League. Ash’s Charizard faced off with Gary’s Blastoise. Many thought Blastoise would win easily. Yet, Ash and Charizard proved them wrong, carving a memorable victory in Pokémon history.
When Ash became the World Champion by defeating Leon, Pikachu vs Charizard was the highlight. This pairing made sense because they’re the franchise’s superstars.
Who’s the Real Star?
It’s a mix, in my opinion. The trainers and their Pokémon evolve together throughout the series. Ash and Pikachu exemplify this, showcasing the real power of their bond. And yes, iconic Pokémon should headline the big Tournament and League Battles.
Fans looking to catch up with Ash and Pikachu’s latest adventures can find the final Pokémon anime season on Netflix.
