This league beginning is the best. Old Pokémon returning, cameos, new moves for ash old Pokémon, the mix of old and new Pokémon in the matches, and the fact that you added an Ash moment where he forgets types. You deserve an award for this series. Great job
To be honest I’ve never liked the running gag of ash forgetting typings, buts it’s a lot more excusable here since he was able to use Gible’s moves in an awesome and clever way to come out on top.
Am I the only one who loves Journeys for what it is? Then again, I am the one who favors Black and White over the Original series. Also, keep up the good work, Zac! Hopefully we get a Scarlet and Violet series with Ash?
@@NijelHarper Hey if you like Journeys, that's all on you Nijel. It's just that Journeys has become one of the most controversial series in the pokemon franchise, even more than black and white and sun and moon. This series feels like a more natural progression of ash with less controversies. It's not perfect, but I've definitely felt more hype for this series than I ever did for Journeys.
I love how the teams so far are consisting of 2 old pokemon and 1 galar pokemon for Ash to gigantamax. Gives shine to both worlds and let's us see him use more Gigantamax pokemon.
Yeah update on old pokemon and their new moves Buizel: Water gun, Aqua jet, Ice punch, Razor wind Hawlucha: Karate chop, Sky attack, Hi jump kick, Flying Press Gible: Dragon pulse, Draco meteor, Earth power, Bite Infernape: Flamethrower, Flare Blitz, Dig, and Power-up Punch
the sponsership was a huge surprise even i wasnt prepared for that....serena and paul cameo has me melting....this was a fun set of episodes looking foward to the next part
Binged every episode of your SWSH Anime before this one again over the weekend to refresh myself, and I got to say this series is a rare instance a fan makes something just as great as the source material. You should feel proud of how many people enjoy this series. This is a great series I'm sad to see almost be over because while it’s not perfect, it’s very high quality & has a lot of care put into it.
Doing cameos like this is just perfection (okay, the option for his friends and rivals to directly experiencing the battles is still there. But nevertheless you've done a great job at placing them ^^)
Once again, I am not a shipper but you cannot unsee the blushing at 7:55 (Gloria for Hop) and 12:31 (Marnie for Ash). Great plot, great battles, accurate character presentation, accurate past references, and return of Ash's infernape with its signature dig attacks and Super Saiyan Blaze ability, what else do you want? This anime will be more canon for me then the Journeys, no hate for it though.
Not gonna lie, the PokeJob intermission had me going "YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! IT WAS SAID THAY YOU WOULD DESTROY THE MID-LEAGUE FILLER, NOT JOIN IT!" at first And then Zac wrote around it to tie into the league and even made it so that it never interrupts anything. Take that, Lost at the League!
i’ll never understand how Zac has single handedly given Galar more love than the actual anime ever did, and is also making me want to reply sword and shield
Damn..this is sooo gooodd...Once again Zac proves why he is the man...doing what the Pokemon company couldn't and thats giving fans what they want..truly love this story and the structure of these episodes.. I wish every one of Ash's pokemon return here...in some way if possible..
This was an awesome start to the Galar League! I loved that Ash and even Hop are using their other Pokemon aside from their main teams. Can’t wait for more!
I feel like that one will the finals of the galar league and then whoever wins battles Leon. I'm just hoping Zac has ash battle marnie and hop battles in the semi-finals so that both of them can have a full battle against their main rivals.
@@RedMysticForceRanger I agree. considering Lycanroc won ash the league and made him a champ, it would feel kinda insulting if he wasn't used here Plus it's got a 4x advantage over charizard. If an accelerock or stone edge lands, that's like half of Charizard's health gone
Here for the premiere... and man what an experience it was. The Reserves are so great to see, everything I wanted and some... Can't wait for the next part!
I liked the fact that Hop is using his other Pokémon in addition to the main team so they aren't just forgotten. Trevanant doing so much work against Avery was nice. I also enjoyed Ash battling Melony here. That's one of the big things I hoped would happen since she's the only gym leader Ash didn't have an official battle against, and I loved that Centicorch was the one who got Ash that win. Finally I like how even though Gloria isn't competing in the league, you kept her relevant by giving her a Pokejob to do.
My man Zac is doing what Journeys couldn't and I love it. Also I think it's awesome that he's having ash not only battle melony since he didn't get to her in the Griflet tournament, but also we get to see Hop battle Bea for real this time. Not mention the small cameos of people mentioned or returned in ash's battles as well as ash only dynamaxing his galar team since they're more used to it than his older pokemon. I'm just hoping that ash battles Marnie and hop battles bede in the semi-finals that way they can both have full battle against their main rivals. I've always considered Marnie to be ash's main rival while Bede is hop's.
If Zac does do that, I feel like he'll give Marnie and Bede the teams he gave them for his new teams for galar trainers video. Marnie would have Morpeko, Liepard, Toxicroak, Gothitelle, Toxtricity, and Gmax Grimmsnarl. While Bede would have Galarian Rapidash, Reuniclus, Mr. Rime, Gardevoir, Granbull, and Gmax Hatterene. Personally, I'd replace Granbull with someone else. Maybe Mawile, Florges, Orbeetle, Medicham, or Meowstic. I don't know; I just don't think Granbull really fits Bede even if he is supposed to be Opal's replacement.
It was pretty good league introduction. And all 3 major battles were solid. For example, Melony's battle was good at taking her ace - Lapras so early, and making Eiscue and Darmanitan more dangerous. Klara's was definitely a highlight so far. Also it was nice to see flashbacks from previous series here. And combination of old and current teams. But without the episode, where Eevee gets lost, this league will never be perfect.
We don’t need another getting lost at the league episode people. Although I wouldn’t mind like a breather where ash and Marnie a heart to heart talk before their battle and team yell tries to make ash miss it like in Journeys.
Not a bad start to the Galar League and it's awesome seeing Ash's previous Pokémon again. I especially like the eye-catchers that were used for your announcement for the Scarlet and Violet news like most big events like this do. It's also cool seeing May, Serena and Paul watching Ash from their respective locations as they remember all the times he's managed to surprise them with his out of the box thinking. And I like the jab Avery did with Gloria by calling Hop her boyfriend, much to her chagrin only to get clapped in the end. And let's not forget the brothers trying to disprove Sonia and Gloria's efforts on the legend of the Sword and Shield heroes. Looking forward to seeing more battles in the Galar League and Rose's plans for Ash.
I laughed during the Avery part. Zac did a "Alain vs Leon" moment done right where we see a character we WANT to lose get crushed by Hop. It was awesome.
The battle quality and writing is somehow better than 90% of pok3emkn journeys. This feels official also. Great writing and I love how dynamic the battles are despite not actually being animated. A lot of hard work and love was put into this.
I love the Battle Frontier/Johto League vibes where Ash blends his new Pokemon with his older ones to make for great lineups in these battles! Shoot that Infernape return had me hyped up!!!! GREAT JOB!
Zac, outstanding work as always. You should feel really proud about this series. You are doing a much better job than what Journeys gave us. A good start to the league. Cannot wait for more episodes.
The best chapter of Pokémon Sword and Shield, the series at the beginning of the Galar Pokémon League and the Champions League that I have seen in my life, neither more nor less congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
oh my god that promotion was insane XD also THIS IS AMAZING!! I LOVE HOW THIS LOOKS SO MUCH!!! I was fangirling SO hard when Buizel returned! He was always one of my favorites
What a riveting and excited start! Seeing Hawlucha and the Sinnoh bois returning was great, with all of them having excellent showings. Gloria being an upstanding citizen is always great, and I love the Scottish anger her character occasionally exudes. Also Avery got absolutely clapped after that taunt, Hop is great! And I like to see that perhaps that jest was more than that for Gloria, she likes Hop (and Marnie seems to like Ash). Overall a fantastic beginning!
Perfect episode i love how ash uses his old pokemon like in the sinnoh league. Hopefully we'll see his charizard and see leon be surprised and impressed by it
Seriously tho, THIS is just so much better than the actual anime!!! Why doesn’t the writers team just say ok from now on Zak your in charge because clearly you know how to write a good anime series!!
Nice episode set! Good battle of Ash vs Klara and I also liked the touch of the commercial break with the sponsorship of The Pokemon Company International. Also the fact that Ash was using many of his old Pokemon in the battles, something he should have done in Journeys (not counting the episodes in Aim To Be A Pokemon Master). Great work on this.
I like how even though ah is one of the strongest in the tourtament he still makes mistakes. It was funni to see him accidentally use dragon pulse on weezing. Also blue flare blitz looks sick ngl Great vid man, rlly lookign foward to the rest of the galar league (and seeing what leon's champion team is gonna be)
This was PERFECTION! Once again, doing what journeys could not. Ash vs melony was amazing, hop vs Avery was cool too, but ash vs klara was beyond legend! Infernape coming back got me hype and it’s blaze ability still amazes me! Also, ash using his old Pokémon for this was a excellent choice! Journeys should’ve done this during the masters 8! As for chairman rose, the darkest day is soon approaching. I look forward to seeing more ash used his ultimate team from your final ultimate team video. Solid props to you dude.
as always, you delivered with this. what an amazing start to the galar league and doing what journeys didn't do AND should have done in its runtime: using the reserves to give them another chance to shine!! I'm always so happy with what you do with the dynamax battles - the only good ones we got in the anime were with gmax gengar, gmax charizard vs pikachu, and rillaboom
I like that you are applying the official anime’s “who cares if they’re not available in sword and shield, put Mega Pokémon and Pokémon that aren’t in the game we can do whatever we want“ mentality. Let’s go Infernape!
7:54 Love how it's shown that Gloria is crushing on Hop. 12:30 And I think Mareanie is crushing on Ash. Don't think I wouldn't notice those two blushing towards Hop and Ash respectfully.
Infernape's blaze overpowers Dynamax, Rain, and type-disadvantage. Honestly, probably only Infernape could have done something like that while making it believable.
It's legitimately impressive that you've come so far with your TH-cam career that you're now being sponsored by The Pokémon Company International. Good on you!
Another amazing job with this! Seriously we should have gotten this anime because I am loving this^^ I really love how you brought Ash's old Pokemon in this, amazing^^
Nice ending to conclude first half of the Galar League seeing Ash's Infernape in action activating it's special blaze ability. Nooo not yet didn't want the action to end for this intense Galar league.
The battles are all so hype and exciting to watch! The returning Pokemon are exciting & I love that each Pokemon has a chance to shine! Congrats on the sponsorship bro! Your content is always exciting to watch!
I absolutely love the sword and shield anime its just epic seriously zac you did something that pokemon couldn't making and incredible gen 8 thats not controversial like journeys awesome job zac
I loved how even though 2 of ashes pokemon were at a disadvantage to klara’s weezing ash still weld his ground and took it out with fairy’s biggest advantage a dragon type there was pretty much nothing disappointing in this episode so I can’t wait for the other episodes. This episodes rating is a 9/10
Bro Zac I like how you have ash use some of his old pokemon that he caught from his previous Journey's something that we do not see him do ever again after the Sinnoh League that was the highlight of this video

Glad you noticed :)
Yeah update on old pokemon and their new moves

Hawlucha: Karate chop, Sky attack, Hi jump kick, Flying Press
Gible: Dragon pulse, Draco meteor, Earth power, Bite

This was a great start to the Galar League. It’s great to see Ash’s Infernape, Buizel and Gible back again.
Indeed
Don’t forget Hawlucha
It was also nice to see they had new moves at their disposal
Man this episode REALLY makes me wish this were an official anime. Everything feels so authentic to the anime's style and in the best way too.
If only journeys didn't blow it
@@eljordinio7647at this point I wouldnt be sad if pokemon redid journeys

did the sinnoh league do that?

Avery did not just say: "He'll embarrass her little boyfriend in front of everyone" 💀😮 NAH MAN!
I think he did.
“Cuppashiping”
Cuppashipping. Is that what you call Gloria x Hop? What does cuppa mean?
Well it ain’t no Punkrockshipping (Ash x Marnie) that’s for sure.
That had me in stitches

Only fitting since Klara uses Toxic Spikes a lot 😌

Return of a king.
Cheers Zac for making us the SwSh anime we should have got
Infernape's blaze overpowers Dynamax, Rain, and type-disadvantage. Honestly, probably only Infernape could have done something like that while making it believable.
Ice jet Buizel, Hawlucha, Gible, and the Blaze goat Infernape showing up made me very happy. Looking forward to the next part!

Team rocket is just to happy when it's infernape
WHAT!!!! This comes out when I’m in class sad face. Damn Clara here and Infernape is here wondering if Paul and greninja comes back
We get most of ash’s Pokémon but greninja probably wont come back paul might be watching infernape battle on TV or smth
I’m loving this rewrite, the goat infernape returns can’t, wait to see the continuation
Hell yeah! Infernape is back in action!🤩
I could imagine Infernape activating Blaze and just going ape shit on Slowbro and Klara panicking.

I loved how even though 2 of ashes pokemon were at a disadvantage to klara’s weezing ash still weld his ground and took it out with fairy’s biggest advantage a dragon type there was pretty much nothing disappointing in this episode so I can’t wait for the other episodes. This episodes rating is a 9/10
Aight Quarter-Final predictions:
Marnie vs Piers
Ash vs Victor
Hop vs Raihan
Bede vs Gordie
This is impressive work zac. Keep up the good work 👍
This is by far the best video I’ve seen yet 🔥
Awesome to see old Ash mons get to shine with companions and rivals too
Hope Incineroar and Dusk Lycanroc get to show off too
Now THIS how you kick off a league! 🔥 Masters Eight, take notes!

I gotta say, Ice Aqua Jet is super underrated.
Ice Jet, underrated? Who dares to diss such a dope move like that?
I'm saying it doesn't get the recognition it deserves alot of the time

I had no idea it was slept on. If you’re right, it would be criminal.
5:35 So, does that mean Zac is canon to the anime? If so, This is the best written anime I seen
WAIT DON'T LEAVE US LIKE THAT?! But an amazing episode. The call backs goin crazy and I'm excited for the tournament's continuation
This was amazing Zack the episode was awesome.
My favorite part is hop's 3-0 victory against Avery🎉😊
HOP SWEEP HOP SWEEP
Zac got sponsored by Scarlet and Violet!
That’s so cool!!!
When fans are just better writiers than writers of the series themselves these days.
Gotta say this really anchors me to the Pokémon Universe. Gods work right here. Cheers!
THE GOAT HIMSELF IS BACK
Bro Zac I like how you have ash use some of his old pokemon that he caught from his previous Journey's something that we do not see him do ever again after the Sinnoh League that was the highlight of this video
This is peak cinema
I hope you will make some of Ash's Pokémon evolve in the next video soon❤
If Infernape is back, we know for DAMN sure Ash- Greninja is returning as well
The homie Infernape is back
