With the way the battle played out, made sense Roy was already on the path to lose VS Ryme. Roy get stuck in his ways w/out being able to see things beyond or a few steps ahead before it's too late. Which was how Ryme & Toxtricity beat all Roy & Fuecoco tried to do. Even Kilowattrel's loss as Roy repeated the same move instead of looking & thinking another option. Roy thinks too linear & gets caught in his own way which makes it easy for foes to turn the tables on him
@@sakuraa1770 Yeah. Me too. Kilowattrel's was a real letdown. I mean to be fair in that regard it was its first real trainer battle but I was hoping for more than just spamming Spark before it being taken down from Houndstone's Phantom Force & Crunch
@@sakuraa1770 although considering the power of crunch & phantom force on houndstone, it makes sense it was able to easily KO. Plus a Kilowattrel isn't really known to have a good defense after all
@@MarcusMapua Well the anime has never been accurate to the games in terms of stuff like that. But even still, like I said, Killowattrel losing wasn't really an issue to me. It was how the battle went by in seconds.
I think they executed it very poorly, I get it they were trying to set up the next episode but Like rushing or killing off Killowattrel and Hounstone that fast, it felt like The writers also has the same problem as Roy 😂. Roy rushed terastilazing and Writers rushed this battle
Ryme is one of my favorites from Scarlet and Violet, so I'm glad we got to see her battle Roy!
Yeah, she was such a joy to see!

I know it makes sense for him to lose, I just wish it would been from a longer battle.

@@MarcusMapua True. He could have done more had the battle been longer :/

Yeah. There was no reason they couldn't have done the intro stuff within 5 minutes and dedicated the rest of the episode to the battle.
@@sakuraa1770 they should've cut out the terapagos scene to have given the gym testing battle more time!
@@MarcusMapua Agreed. That part was so unnecessary.
@@sakuraa1770 Preach!
