Like unless they used that Level 1 Rattata beats a Level 100 Legendary Strategy...

    They just don't seem to care that much about it as they do developing the plotline.
    I mean, the question is what came first; the anime or the game? I'm pretty sure the game came shortly after the anime, in which case they would be able to make any changes they want in the game. And let's face it, the levels and such in the game are what makes it better than the anime. If I was battling in the anime, I'd be extremely mad if a Pikachu took out my Rhyhorn with a Thunderbolt... Like, not even possible..

    I think we just have to accept that the anime and the games have different sets of rules. But the trips snivy defeating Pikachu is something i don't think i will ever come to accept. On to the gym leaders, there position is to test the abilities of the trainers and gauge if they are deserving of the badge. In a serious battle the gym leaders would wipe the floor with trainers otherwise anyone could just up a gym. The PWT at least in the games is a probably a good guess at how powerful most of them are.

    Oh and the games came first.

    Ah well, It seems like a lost cause to me. They've been going on that way for a while, and people still watch it. Guess there's nothing we can do but whine about it :P It's just soooo annoying when you're watching it, and something incredulous happens, and you're just left there sitting shocked with you're mouth hanging open, and you yell "THAT COULD NEVER HAPPEN!"... And everyone in your house thinks you've gone crazy :/ Then you have to spend like twenty minutes fuming about the fact that they've stepped all over the rule book, again!

    The game came first. Then the anime which is based loosely On the games. The manga came last, based loosely on the anime

    The part where Pikachu beated Rhydon was most likely a dubbing error.
    Watch me hit the cray button! 🔴

    I doubt it. Too many BS moves have been pulled in pokemon for it to just be continuously excused away as a dub error.

    And can someone explain to me how there are trainers out there who own some seriously rare and exotic Pokemon?

    I mean, I was watching the Sinnoh league or something, and this guy had Darkrai AND Latios.... Are you serious? Maybe I'm missing something in the plotline.. But I was watching it, and the character's reactions towards a trainer having such Pokemon wasn't even believable. Sure they were surprised, but that was it. I mean, aren't those Pokemon EXTREMELY rare?
    So rare that there is only one in the whole world?

    Oh, but according to the anime this trainer can own both extremely rare Pokemon, one being a legendary. I mean, come on... I seriously hope that I'm just missing out on some information because that is seriously weird.

    I know what you mean, but in the movie Pokemon Heroes there is more than one Latios after the one Latios dies.

    Well, the question remains if there indeed is only one of the legends. Tobias (LOVE HIM) has Latios, which, as keitaro787 said, there are more than one. Darkrai, while in the movie, also was seen in the anime, making it reasonable to say there are more than one of those, too. I know some people found it a bit chessy that Tobias used legends, but personally, I think he only did what every trainer there did, which was to show up with your very best Pokemon. For instance, if Ash caught a ton of legends and then competed in a league and refused to use it to be "fair," and then he lost, I'm pretty sure people would call stupid for not using his most powerful and best Pokemon. I think Tobias must be a pretty cool trainer to own legends and even when winning, showed a humble attitude.

    I'm not trashing on Tobias or anything :P I just think it was dumb that he would have BOTH.. because I thought Ash was like the 'Harry Potter' - 'Chosen One' of the Pokemon world... and I just thought it would be against the rules to have Latios or Latias or any legendaries for that matter... If there are only a few of them in the world. Seems to me like the legendaries are supposed to be off orchestrating how the world runs and fixing things and creating thunder and lighting rather than belong to a trainer and be running the Sinnoh League :/ But that's just my opinion. I think, it was silly that Tobias was allowed to use something rare and extremely strong like Darkrai to own the comp, smashing Pokemon after Pokemon with only one of his, and then when Ash manages to beat Darkrai finally. Well sorry, but Ash should have won the league right then and there haha he shouldn't have had to then verse Latios.. Poor Ash.

    Well I'm no show writer and I'm no Pokemon know-it-all, but just seems dumb to me!!!

    No doubt it was a cheesy move to pull. Ash lost like half his team to Darkrai alone. And even when beating Latios, it didn't matter because his final Pokemon was taken out at the same time. He clearly wasn't gonna make it through and it totally sucked in that sense. In another sense, I thought it was cool to see Ash go up against a couple of the most powerful Pokemon. I'm more upset with HOW Ash lost. I mean, they didn't even make it seem like Ash had any brains. His Torkoal was a total joke and WHY bring Swellow? That angered me so much more than anything else in that ep. To add to your thing about trainers owning legendaries, I agree there. It's been shown many times that if trainers own legends, the results can be catastrophic. Raikou held in captivity will end up dying. In the 2nd Movie, Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos restrained can completely destroy the balance of nature, etc. Though I'm not sure what Darkrai and Latios's roles are in nature exactly, they are still legends so it could be safetly assumed they'd be better off in the wild.

    (This makes me wanna know so much more about Tobias!! )

    Oh gosh, I agree. I mean sometimes Ash and his friends do things that really make my head spin. I was surprised to see him use Torkoal too.. I sort of felt like they just threw a random Pokemon in there just so they could emphasise Darkrai's power. But in saying so, I get that's why Ash is supposed to be 'special'. He quite oftens picks Pokemon, not based on strategy, but simply because he feels like it. They always say in the anime that that's exactly how he manages to bring out the best of his Pokemon etc etc Sometime's it is a huge stretch.. Like he used Infernape in the Sinnoh League.. So why did he then go and grab Torkoal Strange desicion to me. My only answer is that Tobias is Mew transformed and he is just mind screwing everyone! But then again, the Pokemon show is often just a big mind trip. Not a lot of things make sense and heaps is unnaccounted for and just plain illogical... It's sort of funny though, watching it all unravel Lol

    Yeah. I couldn't believe Swellow and Torkoal came out when he has Infernape and Staraptor, both who who fighting moves and coulda done something to Darkrai. I guess Infernape could battle after the battle with Electivire, and Staraptor was smashed by Drapion, like how Harrison in the Johto League beat Ash's Charizard with his Blaziken and then he couldn't use Blaziken in the next round because it was too weak from Ash's match. Still, Charizard woulda been sweet! Meh... It's too much to pull my hair out over Pikachu did awesome against Latios <3 made me angry though that he beat him but lost and we couldn't see one more Pokemon from Tobias.

    I think that Tobias's role was to stop Ash from winning but to make it look like it was only because he used the Legends. The writers obv don't want Ash to win a league yet but he had shown considerable growth and maturity throughout Sinnoh. Well more so that in previous regions. They wanted him to be the second best and he defeated his rival at last which to him was better than winning the League. His Pokemon choices were frustrating but look at the current region, he has been doing it over and over. One thing that annoys me about that is his Oshawott hasn't evolved yet and he seems to use him more than anyone else. I really want to see Tobias's full team also. Maybe he will make a return in the new region?
