Gen 7 was possibly the worst generation for Ash’s team other than gen 5
He didn’t have any other Pokémon in his team, he barely had any good evolutions besides the three main starters and Lycanroc.
If they’d kept Ash with Solgaleo and he’d gotten a Nagadenal, his team would’ve been more justified.
It wouldn’t be surprising that ash lost the alola league due to his god awful team.
At least with his gen 5 team Ash had bit more diversity of Pokémon on his team with Palpitoad, Krookodile, and hell even Leavanny.
His team for alola is just straight garbage.
Having only Rowlet, Torrocat, Pikachu, and Lycanroc as far as I can remember isn’t gonna win anything.
Hopefully for gen 8 Ash will get his grip together again and get z better team, if not then there’s just no point of keeping Ash as the main plot armor.
I know someone said on here the don’t catch Legendaries on the show mainly due to them being viewed as gods, but that’s still no excuse to not have at least one, and I mean and at leeeast one Legendary on your team.
I know for a fact Legendaries are despised upon mainly for them being poorly used by Legendary Assholes. But besides all of that, Ash should at least be able to use at least one or 2 Legendaries.
Not ALL the Legendaries in Pokémon are considered as “God’s”, Legendary Pokémon such as Mewtwo, Keldeo, Manaphy, Genesect, The legendary dog/cat trio of Johto, and even Meloette aren’t really considered gods as most people think.
The only Legendaries that are and can be classified as Gods are basically all the box Legendaries and for literal sense even Arceus who’s the god of Pokémon himself
