What If Ash Woke Up On Time | Hoenn

[@vergilsonofsparda2350]

Something I just realized: If Ash woke up on time, thus never getting Pikachu, then Pikachu would have never used thunderbolt on those missles in the Porygon episode, thus removing the whole seizure issue, and thus keeping the Porygon line from being banned from the anime.

[@ladyarcanine1432]

I'm fine with the changes except for two. The first is Ash leaving May and Max behind in Mauville. Aside from the fact that Ash has never been so impatient that he'd leave a friend behind, there's also the promise he made to Norman that he'd watch over May and Max. The second is the idea that May wouldn't go with Ash to Sinnoh. You said yourself that May's journey didn't really change. And after the Hoenn journey she decided she wanted to travel with Ash again before she learned about Kanto Contests. Meaning she was willing to put her Contest career on hold to travel with him. Plus the whole reason she left after Kanto was to find her own style after she figured out how much Ash had influenced her battle style. She wasn't at that point yet after Hoenn. So those are my two main concerns. Otherwise cool.

[@testerwulf3357]

To look after them doesn't really mean forever..he has his own stuff to do! Plus it'd effect the next series too badly. She also would of wanted to go do her own stuff anyways likely, they meet again in another series for a bit.

I’ll admit I ragged on him in the past for his poor performances. Of course, I’d be amazed if I qualified for a league, especially on my first try.

[@vetus2271]

You know what, you’re right. That is impressive when you frame it with context. Though the anime has some... unfortunate luck in Ash’s favor at times (the sprinklers) he does still get through the league itself on his own merit. I think we’re all so used to playing games made for children that we assume that experience would translate into a “irl” context, but I highly doubt that it would. So, good on Ash, and for continuing to try even after losing, that’s pretty admirable.

[@testerwulf3357]

@@jeltevl8868 That's the point, people believe they'd do better as they'd actually try to learn how to battle and with experience they'd top ash..ash just goes with the flow and literally has plot armor. If you used his style of battling in a non-biased anime where he wasn't the main character he'd lose hard a lot..only reason he's done pretty ok is because he has an abnormally strong pikachu gifted to him via mascot plot armor. Some techniques he uses are quite good, aka the out of the box thinking like attacking the field or counter shields, but a lot of it is just crazy; I mean he's the guy who brought 1 pokemon to a gym battle and mistaked trecko for a water type! He's a grade A buffoons most of the time but when plot needs him to pull out random genius from no where it does.

[@chris10180d]

Ok I don't want to take away from how good you're doing with this AU, but I have to make a few corrections. Team Rocket didn't steal the kid's sandwiches, they forgot to pack them, so Ash would've still caught taillow. With Team Rocket not being around, its very possible that Ash would've caught cacnea and seviper since the gang offered to help Jenny with Rico in "A Poached Ego" and treecko had a bit of a rivalry with seviper in "A Tail With A Twist". But even if he doesn't capture either of those two he would already have 3 pokemon by the time he gets to Rinshin Town, so there would be no need for Ash to capture shroomish and I highly doubt he knew well in advance that Roxanne specialized in rock types. So he would have no choice but to use Blastoise. That would then change the rest of the Hoenn Arc in your AU unless you would still have Ash use Blastoise against Brawly.

Hoenn is the best - best girl (May) - best starter (Treeko) - best rival (Drew) - best kidnapping (by Winona) - best food (burrito with cactus) - and best Pokémon league Also, best cameo by Puss in Boots and call back to Misty

Besides pikachu as a mascot, I would love them to animate this as a series reboot

[@mikeydowikey4140]

@@shyeazykoopa414 hmmm idk about that one, remember this series is about what would’ve happened in UNIVERSE if Ash woke up on time, not what the writers would’ve done. If they rebooted the series I would love to see Ash catch a more concentrated team in Kanto, featuring more rotation than he did in the original timeline.

[@shyeazykoopa414]

@@mikeydowikey4140 I see what your saying but in kanto he was in the complete beginning of his journey, kinda makes sense that he’s not sure how to handle majority of the Pokémon he catch, be gradually gets better as he competes in the Pokémon league, until finally in hoenn he gets the title champ, I’m not saying the developers would just take this and run with it but I would love to see this story animated

Since Ash is a champion now, wouldn’t he forego the gym challenge and start competing in the world championship?

[@michaelsarmiento4661]

Is it possible that Ash was offered to compete in the Hoenn Champion League and fight the Elite 4 before he rejected it.

[@LagrimaArdiente]

Hm... I wonder how Ash arriving at Sinnoh weeks? Months? Earlier than expected will affect the sequence of events... although, if it's anything like Johto, it'll probably just means that he'll have a little extra time before the next league. Him not catching Aipom is notable, though, as not only does it affect his team but Dawn's team as well.

He might not meet Paul until much later and Team Galactic might go unopposed in their plans.

[@Ascisana]

Wow, I really forgot how annoying Max was, worst part of the Hoenn anime But I love May and contests, so much better than ash's battles :D

[@SCI-FIWIZARDMAN]

The reason the Sinnoh Saga was so much better than Hoenn is 50% due to the fact that Dawn didn't have an annoying little sibling along for the ride acting like a twat.

[@jeltevl8868]

Honestly sinnoh brought together the best off both johto and hoenn. Johto had great battles and sinnoh relived that after hoenn slacked a bit in that. And it made a return in contest even improving on them. Both the sinnoh contest as almost all gym battles where really good. And both final leaques where a great watch. Dont forget that paul might have been the best rival in the whole series as well. Man the sinnoh arc was just great as a whole imo.

[@Octoshark19]

this is such a creative series, i love it!

[@catriamflockentanz]

One of the few series on YT that fill me with pure joy when popping into my inbox. Three things I've to add after watching the whole thing: First, the joke that Brock's supposed "Sandwiches" are obviously "Jelly-filled Donuts" was amazing. Second: I get the feeling that you're quite the Misty Fanboy. (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing or accusation of any sort, just an observation.) Third: I just need to compliment you for the footage you used throughout the video as it was very often way more fitting than someone would expect from this concept.

You come up with such unique interesting challenges. I know that most of your series have been dropping off in popularity, but I've been rewatching the Random Episode Challenge and I just gotta say, that nobody's really doing stuff as unique and thematically cool as you. Seriously, keep it up.

The farther we get from the original timeline the better! I'm upset there was no outro this time... I love listening to that ukulele outro

[@colonel1003]

Since theoretically he went early, wouldn’t Ash get there before May? Maybe even before the point he would even meet May?

[@eduardoalonso701]

Yeah but in the first episode he's taken to the lab by Prof. Birch so suddenly due to Pikachu being sick. So instead Ash gets to his lab without such a hurry, which both him and May get to his lab at almost the exact same time.

[@colonel1003]

Makes sense.

This Pokémon Writers, is how you build up characters conflicts and execute it

Um...Team Rocket didn't steal lunch from Ash, they only stole the "sandwiches" from Brock. Ash not having food was just him being unprepared, and the Tailow still would have attacked cause they are territorial.

[@revalentinemashups510]

I'm pretty interested to see how Sinnoh goes. That had a lot of times where Ash and Dawn learned and evolved different strategies together, so perhaps Ash's changes will have a larger impact on Dawn than they did on May...assuming Dawn travels with them.

[@its_clover2]

Well, unless it's the blastoise that gets injured I don't think they will.

A group of five might get crowded. But who knows? It could happen.

[@odinsnivygunner]

[@michaelwatkis4261]

So for the sinnoh series will Paul respect Ash from the beginning as he is already a champion and has Blastoise?

[@alphabladelm2011]

No guarantees there. Paul will probably be interested but may find Ash lackluster after battling him. If Ash can beat him multiple times, Paul may develop grudging respect.

[@michaelwatkis4261]

Yeah that's true. He could be disappointed at first for sure. Fingers crossed we see Paul's Torterrra earlier maybe.

[@lordfawful9469]

I like how Ash uses status moves way sooner than the original timeline (the only one I remember him ever using is Attract, which Snivy knew). Stantler and Breloom really doing him good here.

[@TheReaper739]

This could be a bit of a problem. Since Ash doesn't travel through Kanto again, and he goes to sinnoh early. That means Dawn isn't a trainer, and a lot of their rivals aren't travelling through sinnoh

[@johnnsong5078]

Ohhhhh yeah!!! So glad you made part 3. An early birthday gift to myself lol. Keep up the great work and can't wait for more

[@SCI-FIWIZARDMAN]

As I recall, Team Rocket made an appearance in just about every single episode of the Sinnoh Saga, so their absence this time around is likely gonna cause some pretty huge changes. Or maybe not, who knows, they're mostly ineffectual anyways. Also, I dare you to do an interlude episode detailing Misty's adventure through the Battle Frontier. F***ing do it. You coward.
