Pokemon anime-related rant:
Nice to see that pokemon anime is becoming less and less realistic/clever...
To explain:
1) Misty's countermeasure with her Gyarados against Ash's Pikachu is to Rain Dance and Hurricane. Which is perfect, since Flying type attacks aren't very effective vs Electric types.
2) Ash refuses to take advantage of Rain and hit a super-effective Thunder.
3) Ash's Pikachu gets trapped in a Hurricane+Rain combined Whirlpool, and escapes by using Quick Attack to climb out of it, stepping on electricity. Cause nothing is more solid and stable than electrons, right?
This erased my thoughts of starting watching Pokemon anime again. Ty for making it a complete joke, everyone.
PS: OK, Gamefreak, we get it, Z-moves defeat Mega Evolution, you can stop the brainwashing now.
Rant over.

last thing I find worth mentioning- @Wolfox stats barely exist in the pokemon anime. that also means attack and special attack stats dont exist. as far as we are aware, gyarados can launch a hydro pump with just as much power as an aqua tail in the anime. the only exception to this rule are things like alakazam that are obviously less good in physical combat.

I just watched the episode on youtube and the opinions of audience are quite extreme. It's either really great or a disaster. I for one think that this episode is absolutely amazing for both Brock vs what his name & Misty vs Ash. I always put game logic aside when I'm watching the anime because they are not supposed to follow game logic bit by bit. Like how Greninja use Cut or double team in the anime. I remember in BW, Samurott block a thunder attack with its shell. I thought that was brilliant and secretly hoped that we get to do stuff like that in the game.
But that thunder armor thing is still BS. Yu-gi-og could somehow crossover to pokemon world and it would still make more sense than that thing.
