It's hard to stay invested when he just starts over every time. And he really needs to win a league by now... Seriously.

From what I read of the SM anime, it looks pretty interesting though, I might check it out.
I mean I can understand why Pikachu was so weak at that point, but after all they've been through at that point. Pikachu could have easily quick attacked or Iron Tailed the baby Snivy and on shot it. Whether Pikachu was sick or not. I mean it was struck by a Legendary Pokémon (Zekrom) with a powerful lightning bolt. So it had adverse effects on Pikachu

All that aside, yeah it's just not good the way things are looking. It's about time he actually wins an official League. XY&Z being the final conclusive proof to that. He has the potential, but the writers screw that over each and every time.

That's one thing I liked about the new movie. Not really spoilers, so don't worry. They bring back the old classic Ash (excluding the voice). From the way he acts so confident in his actions. Especially one big fact. When he gets serious :)
@Neo Emolga yeah and it's sad to see that potential go to such waste. FANfiction does it the service it deserves....errrr the SFW ones at least. They have that potential, but won't even give it the chance it needs or deserves.
