ok the kalos slander in journeys is getting out of hand

#< me now that its a character i actually like #well ok not true. im happy for what they did w serena bc its what i wanted for her- to be able to stand perfectly on her own #but like. a sweep against diantha and most of it was offscreen??? cmon #i knowww logically shes gotta lose and i went in fully knowing she would bc its gotta come down to leon v ash #it just makes the most sense but like. the battle couldve at least been GOOD yknow #yeah no this screams development hell. its gotta be like its just too bad #thinking eve has a point when she says that it feels like jn is exhausted of itself like i didnt need a two parter here #but like... they didnt even wanna dedicate the episode to it??? #also i dont buy leon being this super powerful unbeatable beast tbh #i could in galar bc thats just one region and the gym systems different and designed to like weed people out over time #and u gotta get sponsored and shit like i can believe he went undefeated for literal years there bc galar is weird #but in the entire world?? to the point where he sweeps other champions with ease?? and everyone around the world drools over him? #i get WHY they did that bc its a world tour and hes the strongest trainer in the world and its gen 8 so he needs emphasis #but i dont buy that hes somehow so unstoppable that another champion can barely touch him #and i EXTRA dont buy that ash is so powerful w his current team that hes gonna be the one to knock him down #like idk. idk what metric im working with here but i feel like the champions should be like neck and neck and hard to defeat #no matter who u are and especially w champions bc theyre on the same level #leon being number 1 isnt bad or bad writing but everyone throwing themselves head over heels for him no matter what region theyre in #and him being able to sweep literally everyone in his path is not good writing tbh its not believable to me #it doesnt feel like hes so strong no one can handle him it just kinda feels like plot armor #echoed voice
