👨🏫About Professor Silver & Pokemon Explained
Each episode of Pokemon Explained profiles a different Pokemon from the main cast and breaks down its COMPLETE history on the anime, including all of its battles, appearances, character development & significant storylines.
We'll be covering all of Ash and his companion's Pokemon.
We're just starting out, so if you have any requests or feedback, I'm game to listen! Please leave feedback in the comment section or email me at Alex@ProfSilver.com.
Which Pokemon/Trainer should we tackle next?!?!
ash charizard
Ash Gliscor
May’s Munchlax
video 6 idk anymore: jessie's wobuffet
Fantina's Drifblim
The worst part about Tobias is that the last trainer in the league didn't even beat Darkrai, which means that Ash could probably win the Sinnoh League if Tobias had never showed up.
Just goes to show how strong Ash is :)
he only showed up because writers had to think of something fast because they knew ash's team was peak and still wanted to milk the series so they basically made up a trainer that uses action replays, so basically the writers made ash get curb stomped by a action replay
@@oliverthenoob he would be the sinnoh champ but writers thought .. nah he's reached top 8 he should experience top 4 and 2 before going to win!
@@oliverthenoob even if Tobias didn’t show up he would’ve won the league and then get destroyed by Cynthia
@@yrnxkj7607 true
Man just showed up with 2 legendaries, curb stomped ash's entire team, then is never heard from again. What a legend.
Yeah it's pretty hilarious
That's how it 's done son!
@@red7061 he probably went beyond that. He decided to go against the og Mewtwo instead 😂😂😂😂
Dude caught a Darkrai in a Pokeball
Must of befriended that darkrai
Tobias is like a 40 yr old dad entering a arm wrestling tournament of kids
🤣
And Ash is the No. 1 athlete in the school.
@@TheMan05555I laughed so hard reading your comments. 😂
*an
Fun fact, the director of the episode where Ash loses to Tobias said on his Twitter that he got mad when he read the script since having a legendary pokemon is an unfair way to make someone unbeatable in the anime
Wow 😮 really?
Very cool
Nice to know it wasn't just the fans that hated this.
Damn even the people who were apart of making it hated Tobias' existence. That's funny in a sad way.
But they showed amazing creativity by giving Sceptile a chance to comeback
Can't wait for Tobias to unleash his last 4 pokemon: wurmple, zigzagoon, weedle, and a mf'in Arceus
Don't forget the god bidoof
And a sunkern!
He can always have the others in storage :D
I'm thinking more along the lines of Articuno, Entei, Deoxys and Groudon.
@@red7061 and peanut butter
Ah, Mr. Action Replay himself. Always good to see the dude responsible for probably the worst of Ash's league losses.
IT WAS DISRESPECT! SUH A GREAT BATTLE WITH PAUL AND AFTER THAT THIS ! (BW ALSO CAME AFTER THIS SO...)
I mean, in the unova league ash lost to an opponent that forgot to bring 6 Pokémon to a 6 on 6 battle
@@jackmusic5994 don't count unova in Ash's journey. Only count his best pokemon from that region. Cause unova was a soft reeboot
@@adinarayan.p2035 let me tell you what that sounded like to me,
Don’t count the parts you don’t like, only count the stuff that was good.
Cameron is the worst imo
Every Pokemon fan still remembers the day and place they were at when Tobias sent out Latios as his second pokemon, our joy from sceptile defeating darkrai turned into despair 😞 I was in my living room in shock. The writers of that season really surprised me didn’t expect that at all.
bro i was right there with you i swear. sinnoh felt so much like the place Ash shouldve first became champion. or even if not, id be cool with him losing to Cynthia
@@TheSuperGiantSquid Yes he should have won and challenged the elite four that would have been a good direction for the show
well hes comming back in pokemon yourneys so hold on ;)
Bro I felt exactly the same 😔 they robbed our boy Ash, and even a second time at the Kalos League
Twas a dark(rai) day
Imagine a Rat batteling a Literall Jet and Tied but lost againts a level 5 Snivy
Unfortunately, I don't have to imagine it lol
Oh my god. You can’t spell to save your live.
@@gymleaderhasan you mean life right lmfao 🤣
@@hawaiiboiskeezah8084 oh shit, guess I can’t spell lmao 🤣
I'm thinking tackling some Pokemon who aren't owned by trainers and cover more of their general anime portrayal (e.g. anime history of cloyster). What would you want to see in those types of videos?
How about?
Articuno
Jiggleypuff
Hippopataus
Maybe pokemon that were befriended, Larvitar, Golduck, Haunter, etc. Or even Jirachi from the movie
Meowth! That’s right!
How about Jigglypuff?
Yes!!!! And I agree with most of the comments Jigglypuff would be an amazing start
If there’s one thing I like about Tobias’ fight with Ash, it’s Sceptile being the only known Pokemon to KO his Darkrai. An awesome comeback for a fan favorite from Hoenn. Great job with this video!
Sceptile getting redemption made the battle worth it imo
Imagine being the only Pokémon in an entire region known to beat darkrai.
One of the best moments from the entire anime, imo.
And Pikachu being the only pokemon that K.O full health Latios
@@SoraDestiny471 The Darkrai was still full health after using Dream Eater and Sceptile Did a Bit of Damage to Latios
I feel like the writers could have lessened the anger if they made Tobias start out with normal Pokémon and then revealed Darkrai and Latios as his trump cards. I imagine they could’ve made Ash comfortably beat his first 4 Pokémon while only losing 1 or 2 of his own, and then Tobias’ last 2 Pokémon could come out and wreak havoc. I think it would’ve been a nice and shocking surprise to everyone.
Definitely could have handled it better
I personally would have handled Tobias as a dark type trainer with darkrai being the last secret pokemon that wasn't revealed until ash fought him. Because he has a powerful tyranitar as 2nd last pokemon that destroys everyone. And ash being the only trainer that defeated tyranitar made Tobias to use his secret pokemon darkrai. I think this would have made Tobias a realistic character.
His team would be:
- spiritomb
- houndoom
- shiftry
- absol
- tyranitar
- darkrai
Recently rewatched this episode and it once again enraged me how they decided to just create a literally unstoppable character whose only purpose was to make sure Ash didn't win the Sinnoh League. But it did give me a brilliant idea that would shake up his entire existence, and I intend to use it in my story.
Oh well that's pretty cool.
@@narxmagee727 It's a loooong story. But I would not advise reading it unless you're a Pokeshipping fan. I'll leave it at that, don't wanna turn this into self-promotion.
I believe you, Knuckles
@@EchidnaPower Oh okay that's understandable.
@@EchidnaPower i wanna read it
He definitely used action replay.
😂
Totally 💯
Yep cause Darkai and Latios were OP, they took out Ash’s team in one hit.
@@cockerspanielfan56 idk how he got those isn't there only 1 latios and latias
Agreed it was all the rage back then.
Ah yes, the trainer that used an action replay.
Basically
🤭
what is meant by action replay
@@Musialadebruyne a cheating device that can get you any starter Pokémon from the wild or legendary or mythical Pokémon that you can’t normally get.
I like how during his battle with Tobias, all of the regions Ash traveled through up to that point were represented, Pikachu represented Kanto, Heracross represented Johto, Torkoal, Sceptile, and Swellow all represented Hoenn, and Gible represented Sinnoh
Love that as well!
didnt infernape represented sinnoh lmao
@@nabi6261 whos gonna tell him
Gible should be replaced with Buizel and Torkoal with Charizard
ya but ash also made a mistake bringing torkoal and gible he should have brought his charizard and snorlex instead
Im gonna say it: Tobias was the anime embodiment of us as kids with cheats. Guarantee he had Heatran, Manaphy, and (InsertPersonalFavoriteLegendaryHere) to round off his team of 6.
TOBIAS'S TEAM:DARKRAI,LATIOS,ENTEI,HETRAN,MAYBE CRESSELLIA,ARTICUNO
Entei would be cool!
@@ProfessorAlexSilver yup!
his team is
darkrai
latios
magikarp
feebas
bidoof
zigzagoon
@@normalbrawlstarsdarryl7494 lol
And it’s because of this people started to abandon the anime and just went back to The Magna, Video Games, Trading Card Game and The Pokèmon Go app that shortly came after
BW did a lot worse imo
@@ProfessorAlexSilver maybe but I liked the games at the time that’s for sure😅
@@gilbertmillers4865 at least slowly a good amount of people started coming back and new people came in
@@ProfessorAlexSilver some people art starting to give BW another chance and have grown to like it
@@madnessarcade7447 its my favorite series unironically
heracross using sleep talk and megahorn was by far my favorite moment from the battle. the 120 base power physical attack with stab damage and darkrais weakness to bug made sure that darkrai was weak enough for ashs other pokemon to finish it off. sleep talk alone on heracross was a genius idea and is pretty underrated imo
Definitely one of Ash's cooler moves in the tourney
shoulve been a OHKO lol
Im just pretty disappointed that tobias never showed up in pokemon journeys, it would have been so hype seeing him in the ranked finals.
Agreed. This makes him so much more mysterious. Maybe his goal is not to be the top Trainer but rather something else
nowdays there are many trainers who have legendary and mythical he lost his charm
@@SamieLSanhis goal was to destroy ashe's dreams lol
He was literally only made as a convenient excuse for Ash not to win since the writers realized Ash had become so strong they wrote themselves into a corner.
that was their ridiculous mindset. truth is series couldve gotten so much better had Ash become champion, just like Dragon Ball improved massively after Goku finally won the Martial Arts Tournament for the first time with the subsequent King Piccolo saga. instead they just asspulled legendary abuser and a massively rebooted Ash in Unova right after. seriously, not only Unova seasons are TRASH but Unova Ash is literally the worst. nonsensical how he went from that brilliant Sinnoh version to being an idiot who forgets his Snivy is a female (therefore its Attract doesnt work on fellow females), forgets to bring more than 1 pokemon to a 3v3 gym battle and cant beat a guy 6v5 in the league.
its just a shame it took writers nearly 25 years and over 20 seasons to realize the main character achieving a goal doesnt neccessarily mean the series have to end there. by the time they did the series had already burned out and were way past their prime. Kalos was their last shot, specially given how brilliant XY series were. Alola and anything past that is just too little too late.
Ash is the rightful Sinnoh champ in my books
@@aggerktm my man you just spoken the truth and I respect that
He literally is the sinnoh champ because the second runner up lost to darkrai alone ash woulda won the championship if tobias wasnt there
@@lestonclark2398 he lost to Cynthia or sinnoh elite four because in unova series and journey series people still calling her champion so that's a good thing that he didn't become champion
They didn’t write themselves into a corner. They planned this out and purposely did this.
Tobias was hyped up for weeks leading into the league, they did this cause they thought it was cool
The Complete History of Ash's Bayleef.
Planning for it :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver please do it!!
yes
@@ProfessorAlexSilver complete history of Ash's greninja too!
Yeah my fav grass mon of all time❤️
As a kid, I remember rushing back from school and watching the two-part episode of ash vs paul and being overjoyed and I was like hell yeah ash goes to the finals. Then this random dude shows up outta nowhere and ash still manages to beat his darkrai. Then the dude unveils Latias. I cried that day. NGL.
At least Sceptile got a nice sendoff
Even though he was just a plot wall so that Ash didn’t win the Sinnoh League I’d like to see Tobias return in Journeys, he has a lot of potential for a cool backstory.
Agreed, I like the Mystery
I think he'd get annihilated by ash or any of the ultra class this time around.. I mean sure if you want to bring back a guy who just slings legendaries around like they're just run of the mill level 10 wild mon then go ahead.. they should not even consider putting him back in the anime facts
worth staying up till 4:30am for this!
Thanks!!
Just the other day, I was telling my friend about Tobias. To me, if they were going to have Ash lose in the league, I’m glad that they went all out and made him lose to a trainer who only is shown to have legendary Pokémon 🤣 For all we know, the other four Pokémon he had waiting were all legends, too.
Better Tobias than Cameron imo
This battle made me mad, not because Ash lost or Tobias' Pokémon, but because of the team Ash chose. Stakes were much bigger here, should've brought out the strongest ones (Snorlax, Tauros, Charizard, Kingler, Muk, Glalie)
@@phantomcosmonaut9127 Snorlax probably would've been too slow to keep up with the Legendaries, but I agree with your other picks
Hey, your mention is legit. If they don't put up a strong legendary and mythical pokemon owner like Tobias, then He would've been unstoppable and makes him the strongest in no time. And like you've said, he can sure use his legends like Charizard, Infernape, Sceptile, Pikachu, and more
Tobias is that kid in school who happens to own an action replay
Haha that seems to be the concensus
Tobias's Full Pokemon Team was:
Darkrai
Latios
Magikarp
Magikarp
Magikarp
Magikarp
Probably had a Bidoof in there somewhere.
All I see is the potential for four mega gyaradoses lol
@@ProfessorAlexSilver seeing how badly Tobias hacked the Sinnoh league, I have no doubt he could get four megas in one battle.
But Tbh I’m pretty sure he had an Entei in his team
@@vaporterra bidoof would have made him insta win tbh, it’s the god Pokémon after all
Darkrai is one of the cooler dark types I've seen. Latios is probably one of the fastest pokemon. I'm going to say i wouldn't be surprised if Tobias has latias on his team on the down low.
I would love to see more dark and ghost types in the series
Septile destroy darkrai
Latias was probably the third one
Tobias must have caught other legendaries when he earn his eight badges and won the sinnoh league
I think so too :)
entei and Lucario were confirmed alongside with Darkrai because they battled infernape buizel and Pikachu in the opening
Entei and Lucario was definitely his 2 more Pokemons. What I predict is other 2 might be latias and cresselia as they were like counterparts of latios and darkrai respectively
Just full of magikarp and feebas
I'm sure there's plenty of controversy around Tobias and his use of what's presumably an all legendary team but I kinda find him fascinating. I'd really be interested in seeing his back story and how he managed to find and catch so many legendaries. I also like how even though Ash lost at the semi finals it's established the runner up like everyone besides Ash lost solely to his Darkrai. So Ash actually could have been the true Sinnoh runner up, he was just unlucky to be matched up with Tobias in the semi finals. Being the only one in the Sinnoh league to actually beat his Darkrai was victory enough in my books.
I've honestly dug him, he was the only capable of beating ash short of the elite 4
It was the semi finals
@@UUSER142 Sorry about that. I fixed it.
this is one interesting trainer, the fact he has darkrai and Latios, I'd definitely like to find out how he met and caught them, maybe he had a Lucario to help with that
He's honestly one of my favs, super mysteriuous, has a darkrai and dope outfit
@@ProfessorAlexSilver yeah, I actually made a fan made team idea since we didn't get to see his full team
Glad you mentioned Primeape and how he would have fared against the Darkrai.
Thanks! It's a popular theory so I felt I had to include it :)
To be completely honest.. Seeing that episode as a kid truly confused me. I loved the Darkrai movie and seeing its battle in the anime and Latios is one of my favorite legendaries, But having them both? This kinda makes me so confused as to the status of legendary pokemon tbh.. Like it raises so many questions? Are there multiple Legendary pokemon? How did Tobias even get TWO of them- this also stands for Goh.. I like him- But I don't understand him literally catching Suicune when there are people like EUSINE MAKING IT THERE LIFE GOAL TO CAPTURE IT. We seen a shiny one in the Zoroark movie and one in the Celebi movie. So are there multiple suicune's? idk. It truly confuses me seeing trainers own legendary pokemon like that
I would say that YES, there is more than 1 leyendary or Mythical of many of the lengedaries and mythicals (tho i guess many of them are unique, Kyogre, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Arceus, and many more).
This is true at least in the anime as we saw many cases of different legendaies appearing (Lugia with a baby, Regis that are captured but also wild Regis) we also have heard of Mythicals like Zarude (data says that THEY lived in a small pack in some jungle.)
I also think that the series continuity and movies one are not in the same universe. Ash never mentions movie events in the series like when he sees Lugia, Moltres, Articuno, Latias, Latios, etc again.
@@compucocina5567 But supposedly Ash does remember meeting the same Mewtwo in a movie when they met again in the anime. Though that's a very recent change.
When it comes to legendary & mythical Pokemon, the anime is really inconsistent with lore unfortunately
@@ProfessorAlexSilver I like to think there are more than one of each but they're still so rare compared to "average " pokemon that it still justifies their title of legendary
We have the same thought though. Many people owns legendary Pokemon but does that mean that it no longer exist or present to a specific region because a trainer already owns it. If there are multiple legendaries then it is not yet elucidated by the lore. If Pokemons are the only species that exist in the Pokemon universe does that also means that they use them as a source of food or there are also normal species adjacent to their universe?
I'm sure that after winning the Sinnoh League and defeating the Elite Four of Sinnoh, once Tobias battled Cynthia, his Darkrai would have been no match for Cynthia's Spiritomb since it would have menacingly laughed at the Dream Eater and Dark Void that Darkrai had to offer. Also, Cynthia's Garchomp sweeping through Tobias's Latios and other Pokemon would have been the perfect redemption episode for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl for Ash's defeat. I would have loved to see that battle honestly !
It's difficult to say what other pokemon he may have had. I'm sure the other 4 pokemon are legendaries (event pokemon for generation 4). He was Shadowy (dark-darkrai), Mysterious male (psychic-latios), Hair that flows (water-suicune), wore dark red clothing with eyes of steel (fire/steel-heatran), Cold personality (ice - articuno/regice), the guy in the class that listens to rock music (rock-regirock). It's possible with his Green eyes (grass-shaymin) and Latias rhymes with Tobias and may have been in the team. If he had pseudo pokemon due to his sandstorm clothing (tyranitar).
Perhaps some Galarian Birds?
What a good theory man. I even saw a heatran in the Pokémon center when they went for registering for Sinnoh league. So prolly that was his. Who knows?😊
Ash: _I'll train a full team of six powerful pokémon with love and care and try winning the league_
Tobias: *;-; I suck i'll use two legendaries cuz i suck*
XD
I still can’t believe Tobias isn’t in the Master’s 8. Would’ve loved to see him battle Ash once more and to finally reveal his other Legendary Pokémon
And Ash lose again?
I think he should've been there instead of Alain. Would have made a much better fall guy
@@ProfessorAlexSilver i think the reason Alain made is due to him at least having an anime and and arc focusing around him, meanwhile Tobias just showed up out of nowhere and win.
And this could be a stretch, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he WAS up for it, but then remembered this and how incredibly unhappy most of the fans were back then, so it might bring a similar response to new ones.
@@omarmendez0402Ash won't lose this time, he's gonna play with his Charizard, Infernape, Pikachu, Greninja, Sceptile, and who knows he might own a legendary or two too
@@omarmendez0402You forget Ash beat Cynthia, someone who would have definetly beat Tobias’s Legendaries.
And because of Tobias we have a weird thing where so far Latias has yet to debut in an anime episode only appearing in movies/specials, while Latios already has debuted.
Funny enough in the special you're probably thinking of Latias was owned by Nurse Joy out of all things
Not gonna lie: Sceptile waking up and being the only Pokemon in the entire region to finish off Darkrai with just two Leaf Blades _screams_ "deus ex machina".
At least it was great narrative closure XD
i mean that darkrai was weakned by heracross too who used super effective moves
I remember when i first saw this episode and i actually HOLLERED when Tobias sent out Latios. Latios was, and still is my favourite Pokemon of all time, so seeing it in battle was AMAZING.
I wish Ash got a little further, but I was a big fan of the episode as well :)
I just love the scene where Treecko evolved at the same time when Loudred did 😁.
Great scene!
- Beat the crap put of main protag with legendary pokemons.
- Refused to elaborate further.
- Leave.
That's how it's done son!
Remember how Volkner was giving away badges for free? That's probably how Tobias got his Beacon Badge. And while he was only a plot device in hindsight, I did think his battle with Ash was one of the anime's most cinematic. Shinji Miyazaki's background music was so powerful that the dub even kept it without any replacement scores or edits (not that the dub music is bad). And why did Ash have to have Torkoal in that battle? What a waste.
Tobias probably went to other gyms as the pokemon anime established that all regions have more than 8 gyms look at Gary in Kanto.
2:56 Cynthia think : "I can still destroy him"
Rivals & side characters are my favorite to cover :)
Insert cynthia's piano intro
In the Pokémon community tobias is like Voldemort you can’t mention his name lol 😂
I believe it’s the name that we do not speak of
Perhaps I have joined the dark side mwahah
I thought that was Cameron.
I am still baffled by the fact he caught DARKRAI and LATIOS in a NORMAL POKEBALL!
I always found the way Ash lost the league to Tobias to be a bit of a cop out. After all that development to beat Paul, he never stood a chance. I do like, however, that Ash, Paul and Tobias seemed to represent casual, competitive and hackers/cheaters respectively.
Good breakdown of the three
Tobias is more like the guy who actually captures legendaries unlike ash
@@Alexgodofwar5662 Didn’t Ash have a chance to capture Zapdos in ‘Master Quest,’ and chose not to? It’s still cheap to use Legendaries, but imagine the shock on Tobias’ face when Ash sends out Zapdos to face Latios.
@@TheMan05555 he also had the chance to get latias but he didn't (not the latias in aim to be a Pokemon master)
Honestly, I think it would’ve been so much better if Darkrai was his ONLY Pokémon (at least that he entered into the league). Ash struggling to win, needing all 6 of his pokémon to defeat such an overwhelming force would’ve made for a compelling finale. Tobias solely relying on Darkrai, not even considering that ANYONE would be able to defeat it, would have been a good counter to Ash who strategically has trained with him entire team to win battles. Proving that it takes more than raw power to become a Pokémon Master.
It would’ve been a great final clash of ideologies (kinda like how Paul was). Do you bet it all on a single legendary? Or do you, through training, strength, and growth, able to overcome all obstacles?
THIS THOUGHT HAS LIVED IN MY HEAD RENT FREE FOR YEARS
Definitely would've made for a good tie for Pikachu at the end if it had to fight darkrai
@@ProfessorAlexSilver exactly! Btw love the videos!
I bet in having 6 legendaries
Not salty he lost, salty that he won and dipped.
lol i like it
Wasn't expecting a video about Tobias since we didn't really see much of him but great video tho!!
Thanks! I've got to mix it up :)
A lot of people seem to hate on Tobias, which I can understand in a way. But when I saw this episode the first time when I was younger, I was looking forward to their battle. Knowing Tobias had a Darkrai, who knows what would happen. Of course I wanted Ash to win the league and Tobias was just someone written to prevent that. Still, it was pretty epic to see Ash fighting and defeating 2 legendary pokemon even though he lost. The fact he was the only one getting past Darkrai made it feel awesome. Hope there will be a day they battle again, so we can see the other pokemon he had.
And also people down play Sceptile’s victory by arguing Darkrai was worn out from taking Mega Horn and rock smash BUT keep in mind Darkrai used Dreameater twice and 1 of those times 1Shot Heracross!! So Darkrai was probably if not at 100% At the VERY Least 80%
I agree, Darkrai was at near full-power when their battle began
@@ProfessorAlexSilver can you mention what i said when you do Sceptile's History video?
I always thought that Swellow was surprised to see a legendary on the fields, but it was a war cry
Depends how you interpret it I suppose
Seeing how Tobias wasn’t in Pokémon Journeys during the final tournament, must mean he either retired or died
I have been waiting for this, haven't watch the video but just dived into the comments, anyways super excited!!!
Hope you liked it!
I would love to see Tobias battle against Ash once more!
Same :)
Wiht ash charizard and snorlax
@@charizarddestroysblazikan8264greninja
Wasn't the lore that there is only ever one Mythical Pokémon in the Pokémon universe but exceptionally rare few Legendaries?
While there is the few odd exception, such as Celebi being a Mythical Pokémon but since it can time travel dozens of Celebi can exist in the same timeline (though all the same/different incarnations of the same Celebi) and Entei, Suicune and Raiku being miscategorised as Legendary but are Mythical on account of their background history (which presumably has been retconned due to the appearance of multiple Suicune including a shiny variant in the anime and Tobias also possessing an Entei)... The anime takes inconsistent liberties that either directly contradicts or needlessly overcomplicates. Since Tobias possesses Latios, Entei and Darkrai, it can be assumed that Latios/Latias, Entei/Suicune/Raiku and Darkrai/Cresselia are no longer Mythical Pokémon. Since the legend of Suicune, Entei and Raiku hasn't changed, it can also be reasoned that even Ho-oh isn't Mythical now.
That might have been mentioned but the movies throw that into chaos
Darkrai never was mythical people just spread misinformation because darkrai appear 5 times in the anime (including 2 movies)
While some people dislike Tobias I absolutely love the character, he rolls up with a mythic and a legendary pokemon to win the league - essentially what a lot of players do as it's natural to strive for the best team possible. The writers likely knew that the highlight of the league would be Ash vs. Paul, so they wanted the final battle to be special - Ash had to lose since that was the norm back then, so they made a character that didn't just have a strong team, but a team we'd never seen before.
Tobias is a really interesting character IMO - where did he come from? How did he capture both Darkrai and Latios, and which other pokemon did he have on him? What are his plans? Since Ash is traveling I'd love to see him return so we could learn more about him.
I fall in your line of thinking. The mystery makes him very enthralling as a character
What really happened to Tobias after the sinnoh? I still want to know….
Same!!
I want to see tobias as the sinnoh league champion in the remakes
@@BobaT0 yeah same
@@BobaT0 Bro imagine, you have to rematch all gym leaders like you do in HGSS, then after defeating a more powerful E4 you are greeted by Tobias instead of Cynthia. That'd be amazing, revealing his full canonical team and overall being a nice surprise.
Tobias probably lost to Cynthia because she is still champion is Unova or he just never battled her
Quality channel here, always smilling having the white vest entertaining content, keep it up!
Glad you enjoy it! I will :)
Really excited 😁 for tobias vs ash and professor you brought a trainer that I ever expected so I am really happy
Thanks! Expect the unexpected :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver always welcome 😀😁😂
I was thinking about something Tobias said about Ash's Gible and his Draco meteor. Tobias said that Gible was great and that Draco meteor could eliminate any Pokémon except Darkrai.
Consider his second Pokémon was Latios who is Dragon/Psychic
And Dragon in gen 4 only is super effectieve against Dragon.
Lets say that Tobias his other 4 Pokémon are Dragons too (+/- 600 in the games) then the rest of his team could be
Dragonite
Garchomp
Salamence
Latias (to tie with Latios)
Possibly! He may have just been hiding Latios' existence as well, since he never imagined Darkrai would go down
Amazing video as always, Professor
Glad you think so! Thanks :)
The ultimate plot barrier: the writers made Ash so good during DP that they had to stop him with a random trainer who used legendaries. Really says a lot about their pre-SM reluctance to have him win a league for sure.
and SM was kinda just give him the win so fans cab shut up and we never heard about him being the alola champion ever again
At least we got redemption in Alola :)
Not as much as his Kalos loss!
@@rodimusunicronus2089 Honestly, the Alolan championships were pathetic! 150 trainers battling at once‽ Idiotic!
2:33 off course
Charizard and Infernape, snorlax would have given more damage and we may see more of his Pokemon also yeah you are right if he had primape yeah darkrai would have done nothing to him😉😂
Infernape was robbed
@@ProfessorAlexSilver yeah😂😂
@@ProfessorAlexSilver to be fair infernape was tired during their last battle with paul but charizard and snorlax would make a huge difference
@@JustAnotherPerson55 would love to watch darkrai use dark void and dreameater on snorlax just for snorlax to wake up while looking pissed
Not really hoenn ash pokemon >> sinnoh ash pokemon
The most mysterious person in pokemon history with no background who just appears and disappears.
Can we also mention that there was a random trainer that had a heatran yet we never see him battle anyone in the league
Always wondered why they included that but then never used it
Maybe that was tobias's son
Can we also talk about how there might be two Darkrai?
Loved it! One of the Most mysterious Pokemon trainer!!!
Thanks!
My absolute favorite random character in the series. Would be dope if he appears in Journeys for the tourney.
I'd love to see him there also
Rumor has it Tobias last 4 pokemon was a Mega Rayquaza, Speed Forme Deoxys, Arceus, and a shiny perfect IV Bidoof named peanutbutter
That'd be insane haha
This man brought a Darkrai and Laitos to the league, swept everyone under the rug only for Cynthia and her OP Garchomp to STILL fold his team. At least that aspect is true to the original games.
Tobias don't play!
The man who defeated Ash in the semifinals in the Sinnoh League. Now I wonder if Tobias returns for Journeys should J. Michael Tatum come back to the Pokemon Company to voice him again? And furthermore does Tobias have any other Pokemon aside from Darkrai and Latios?
I hope so on both accounts
Excited for his and his darkrai returns
Let's hope he comes back!
@@ProfessorAlexSilver yeah
Tobias: pulls out a darkari
Temp6t: pulls out low stat unevolves but with Flakkahead Combos💀💀💀
Dude was so powerful the entry is about himself rather than just his Pokémon
Tobias is actually one of my favorite characters, idk why he gets so much hate.
I actually like him a lot as well, though he definitely was underdeveloped. Anyone that beats Ash gets a ton of hate.
He was literally written in to prevent Ash from winning! All the other people to whom Ash lost were actually characters with personalities! Even _Cameron_ was better written!
Because he’s severely under developed and kinda just feels like a plot device so ash would lose the series.
1:32 for the last time… sceptile FINISHED darkrai, it didn’t beat it, it finished it darkrai went through half of ash’s team and was worn out in anime logic, so sceptile finished it
Finishing something off includes beating it
Amazing video and very informative!
Glad you liked it!
Sceptile: (One Shots Darkrai)
Ash: YEAH!
Sceptile: No need to thanks m-
Tobias: GO LATIOS!
Ash: I guess It would be a great time to have Chairzard and Infernape in the same team.
Sceptile:…HOW TF IS THAT LEGAL! HES AN ADULT!
Hahah
I was so hopeful that Ash’s Heracross could’ve defeated Darkrai, that would’ve been incredible
I think they save the best for starters
Hopefully, he returns to the series in the future! Revenge match!
Hopefully 😁
I just happened to run into the channel by accident. It's so informative I will definitely subscribe I like your whole setup with your professor costume.
Thanks!! Glad you found it :)
Tobias is such a mysterious pokemon trainer I hope he shows up again someday so we can learn more about him/see him battle once more.
I personally always take as my headcanon that Ash vs Paul was the true ending of the Sinno League
Ash's defeat to "the Darkrai guy" really feels out of place like some kind od filler episode and that plotline was only placed there because the company was feeling spiteful
It would have been fun though if Tobias was overconfident and really only had those two pokemon in his team, making it a tie, it would still pass the message "cheat codes bad!" and be something I could accept
Definitely the big narrative finale that's for sure. Tobias was more an epilogue
Cop-out: The Character. Not only that, they tried to build him up as the guy who would beat Ash, but he never interacted with him prior, making him kinda exist in a vacuum. He feels like a footnote after Paul because they were for some reason convinced that if Ash won a league, his journey _had_ to end. Tobias was robbed of being a character because he was a panic response at the last minute to not retire Ashs character as was the original plan after Gen 4.
Which is pretty dumb considering Ash won both the Orange & Frontier league but somehow those "didnt count" and later the Alola one
Honestly they should have retired him during BW and invested fully on Generations, then they could bring him back with XY and call it the soft reboot they wanted, with S&M and Journeys as the follow up seasons, dont think anyone(not stupid) would have complained
Definitely felt more like an epilogue than a conclusion
@@ale-xsantos1078 fact
I would agree with how many fans have expressed Tobias was meant as an opponent for Ash to not win the Sinnoh league but given he had at least two legendary Pokémon that's a tough act to beat. As for the other members of Tobias' team, most likely some more legendary Sinnoh region Pokémon and possibly the Pokémon he used in order to capture them. Though it would be superb if Tobias did return and have more insight of his overall mysterious mystic revealed.
Very true, I wish Tobias got a few more episodes of spotlight
@@ProfessorAlexSilver It certainly would've been nice to see some insight on him and possibly see him battle against Cynthia, along with what other Pokemon she has besides her Garchomp.
The best Battle was between Latios vs Pikachu. It was badass!!
Very cool indeed :)
Man, I love Tobias so much. I don’t care what many think of him he was a badass (and still better way for Ash to loose than to a freaking Cameron). I would love to see him again or at least know his full team and what is he up to. So interesting character.
I really dug his design, I get that people were disappointed Ashton win but at least he went out with two major achievements by beating the trainers Pokemon
I have a feeling he might've just taken the free badge that Volkner placed outside as I'd assume he beat the gyms before Ash came
Perhaps :)
I think Entay was Tobias's third pokemon. Because in the intro of sinnoh league victors there was a battle between infernape and entay.
I think it fits him really well
Pretty good video Professor.
Glad you think so!
Prof! I just asked you to do Ash and sceptile last week with Tobias' match as an example of how good sceptile is and you did a vid on Tobias! 😂😂😂😂But yeah, thanks for giving sceptile the respect he deserves in this video.
Great vid nonetheless 🐱
Pls do ash and sceptile.
I'll get to Sceptile at some point 😁
How dare you do him
Blasphemous let’s cancel Alex 🤣🤣
I’m kidding of course top tier episode 👍
Thanks!!
What if Ash from the start used Sceptile for Darkrai and Pikachu for Latios?
Then maybe we would be able to see tobias' other Pokemons,or maybe not!
Perhaps!
If ash used sceptile in the start, it would have lost. Then heracross would be the one who takes down darkrai.
Before Ash Vs Alain was a thing this was indeed the day i got depressed.
At least Sceptile shined :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver *Fair enough*
Always mad about this fight, and not because Ash lost to a legendary spammer. I hated that his Heracross was built 100% perfect for killing Darkria and still lost. Guts, Sleep Talk, Mega Horn should = one very dead Darkria. I was in shock when Ash's Heracross randomly had Sleep Talk on it. You would run into that competitively, but Ash's pokemon are always so random that it blew me away he actually had Sleep Talk on a Guts mon.
I think a non-ace beating a legend would be pretty out of the norm for Pokemon, but still would've been cool to see Heracross instantly go from an A/B tier Pokemon to S
To be fair, Heracross had Sleep Talk to deal with Nando earlier on in the tournament.
Would love to see the complete history of Ash's Krookodile
Likely coming in the next few months
In the Japanese version Tobias says that Draco meteor would have defeated any other of his pokemon other than darkia. This makes it seem like his other pokemon are dragon types since only dragon type moves are effective against other dragon types.
It would seem like he would have a latia and probably the pseudo legendary dragons up to that generation. Dragonite, Salamance and garchomp.
Could be! I think it's also just a testament to Gible's power.
This guy (Tobias) definitely used an Action Replay/GameShark to get these illegal Pokémon!🤣🤣🤣
