This will always mean something to me man

I love how emotional I get when watching this and pretty much every scene in dp it’s just so special

Nothing will ever hit quite like it I fear

And then he actually beat her... just not with an infernape

If I speak... 💔

Announcer: can anyone beat her? Ash: yeah! I can! Viewers when this originally aired and several years after: uh huh. SURE, Ash. Keep dreaming. Viewers nowadays: fuck. That's slow burn foreshadowing

Generational fumble we never got this

Will always hate the journey writers for skipping this. They had the perfect opportunity to turn the thought into reality. So much of infernape hype in journeys for nothing 😔

And then you remember what Ash vs Cynthia with infernape could've been 😔

Someone take me to the good timeline I hate it here

Giving Flint this masterclass performance just to have him lose to Leon with gag character animation is so unfortunate.

Honestly I can’t believe it went from this to “in the shadow of Zekrom” it’s so jarring looking back on it.

To me this is were Tobias was allowed to challenge the elite four before facing Cynthia then failed to even get pass the elite four

dafuq i recognized it's dawn's house right away 😭

look if Lucario vs Garchomp at least would've looked like that, I wouldn't have even minded that Infernape wasn't there

I would lmao I'll still never forgive them for it

at least it would've looked decent to soften the disappointment a bit

Is this a safe space to speak …?

Perhaps
