Seeing Blastoise using Hydro Pump never gets old.

[@MrCONBO]

While it's subversive, I do like the motif of Ash having a more consistently powerful starter, which he more heavily relies on in clutch moments, coming back to bite him at the end of major arcs. Rivals are much more motivated to take him seriously, and actually make game plans to deal with Blastoise. While I'm not sure it would make for excellent or satisfying television, narratively it's really interesting and creates an overall character flaw which Ash needs to take a long time to get over. With demoralizing league losses to Paul and Trip respectively, I wonder if he'll start to realize that his over-reliance on Blastoise is too exploitable. Maybe Ash needs to learn what it's like to not have his ace in his back pocket, and dedicate himself equally to his whole team? Keep it up, creating entire headcanons is super entertaining to me and this series has been super enjoyable. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort.

[@draco4450]

I mean he's tried that but I think some of it's one, he could have used charizard or something there, but 2, also not growing complacent with his ace's ability either and continuing to strategize and push boundaries with em, which megas and alains deal would be good to emphasize

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Trip saw right through Ash, just like Paul did in the Sinnoh League.

[@GoinGreninja]

Yup. Ash was using basically the same strategy multiple times. He didn't lose his skills nor did he evolve, leading to his stagnation and eventual defeat by Trip who understood that Ash loves to send in Blastoise anytime he sends his Snivy, allowing him to formulate an effective plan and make Ash lose. Now with this horrible loss may Ash understand that he needs to evolve fast and he needs to archive results better too, maybe leading to his eventually win at the Kalos League, hopefully...

[@alphabladelm2011]

True. Ash seems to be his own worst enemy. His win streak against Trip was no excuse to stop improving himself. Perhaps the worst philosophy to follow in the Pokémon world is “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

@@GoinGreninja Also he could have used his other pokemon from his previous journeys like he had originally planned.

A part of me is a little disappointed that Ash lost this early in the Unova League but it makes sense. In the beginning Ash and Blastoise always won against Trip and Sirperior because the water type was just too experienced to lose to the grass type that had an advantage, But an advantage like that can only work for so long. Trip went into battle knowing what to expect and was more than prepared for it even when the odds were still against him he never Stop pushing and took down what seemed to be like an imperatrable wall. Also Ash was getting back into the habit of overlying on Blastoise again because he could have came in with some of his other pokemon from the other region like you originally planned, If he did that right away he would have caught Trip off guard. He had so many options other than Blastoise but decided to do the same thing as their other battles and it cost him the match.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I MUCH prefer Ash losing in the Unova league this way than how it actually happened. Here, Ash lost because he got cocky after defeating Trip so much that he didn't feel the need to improve as much and never saw him as a threat; to the point that he sent out Blastoise against Serperior when he could have used one of his other Pokemon with an advantage. I think that is far better writing than Ash loosing to a moron who brought 5 Pokemon to a full battle and just happened to get a DEM evolution in the middle of the match where they went out of their way to make Ash bring along his weakest captures in the region.

as soon as I started watching this I was praying his Blastoise wouldn’t be clapped by a lv.5 snivy

[@OMZEEEEEE]

Fax😂👍

[@professorescanor7310]

Can’t wait to see how Ash handles things. Although since Team Rocket may not be there. Serena may not know he’s in Kalos which is sad

[@fernandoguillen5996]

So basically no Serena in this what if? Thankful with the one above

[@matthewbraith0411]

Serena not being a thing Is something that pleases me,

[@cesarwitha_t]

Also we might get a Ash-Blastoise instead of an Ash-Greninja

[@AznYunHou]

Trip is the new Misty in this timeline.

[@Shieldwolf27]

I just spent like 3ish hours or more watching this series and I'm ready for the next one!

[@delaneyh7813]

Love these vids so much, always interesting to see how big of a difference it makes. Can't wait for the next upload :)

[@chillyperfect5334]

You should actually make a pokemon run of your what if ash woke up on time. LOVE YOUR VIDS!!

[@starkz8194]

I like how Ash lost in the first round in the league since it would definitely help improve him as a trainer, but let's be honest, if this actually happened in the anime, the community would be VERY pissed off.

[@Aryan_Aran]

This video made my morning even better. Can't wait for the next part 😁

[@Rico2489]

Echoing what everyone is saying recently! Just did my second watch thru, you’re definitely the most practical of the “woke up on time” videos! Finish up ash’s journey! 🙏🏼

[@trumpeterjen]

I can absolutely buy Trip losing the 5-on-5 and *still* calling Ash's Pokemon pathetic.

[@trumpeterjen]

@@mr.lholmes650 Then what does that say about Trip's Pokemon? He should be far more worried about his own team if it only takes two to knock out all five of them.

[@trumpeterjen]

@@mr.lholmes650 So you're saying it was essentially only one Pokemon that did the work? That's even worse. Trip in the original defeated Ash's Pikachu--same amount of experience as Blastoise--with his brand new Snivy starter, so there's no reason he'd put stock into experience. Harping on that isn't in his character. He doesn't mention experience in the original equivalent of this battle, either, does he?

[@trumpeterjen]

@@mr.lholmes650 Blastoise wasn't caught. Ash picked it as a starter, so it had the same basic moveset and power as any starting Squirtle. None of that matters to this fight anyway, though. Trip had the same reaction regardless of whether he won or lost, meaning he's still just a brat either way. The only difference is that he's a sore loser now.

[@alacritical7873]

It's pretty interesting how, in this alternate timeline, Ash seems to have peaked in Hoenn and has been declining ever since, whereas in the original timeline, Ash generally got more competent as the seasons went on

[@KillamriX98]

Always a good day when we get another one of these.

[@yaguygfly9959]

I just rewatched this whole series yesterday! Hype !!!

[@kai_3788]

Well it’s a shame this series never continued. Just remembered it existed and I was hoping there’d be a whole catalogue of episodes I missed. Oh well.

[@testerwulf3357]

it got another episode! :]

[@rafasha2222]

​@@testerwulf33572 years later! Better late than never i guess, lol.

[@rueblie2627]

I like how getting blastoise rather than pikachu has made Ash really overconfident. Hopefully he can work this out by Kalos

[@aikou2886]

I forgot about this series, it was a nice surprise to see a new episode!

[@gingerkays7362]

What a coincidence! I just marathoned the previous four videos yesterday!!

[@skinneybob4984]

I promise you I just watch the other videos yesterday and was like “damn I just can’t wait on the video” let’s goo

[@armandogonzalez2289]

I think for the next region, he will still catch froakie, though under different circumstances. Also because Jessie and James aren’t pursuing Ash, he won’t meet Serena, because she doesn’t know he is in the region due to the garchomp situation not happening. Also I think by the time he beats the third gym leader, he will get access to mega evolution earlier than canon, because he has blastoise with him.

[@xdcoolbro]

Ye mega blastoise boiii

[@fernandoguillen5996]

That would be amazing, but sadly i have the feeling that he's going to forced greninja and Serena into the story.

[@Poke_Miracle_Owl_Universe]

You're right about the Serena thing

[@Tamus_29]

I’ve loved and really enjoyed these videos and can’t wait to see what you have for Kalos

[@danieljames-davidson6596]

I absolutely love your channel and definitely these videos! I for a long time wanted a what if Ash got Squirtle as a starter and how it would effect the anime. You showed us all what it would be like and I can't wait for Kalos, Alola and Galar and possibly the new Gen 9.

[@PandoraOfVanity]

When’s the next part coming out?

[@VannyBeumer]

Probably sometime this month

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

At least Ash doesn't lose to a trainer with 5 Pokemon.

[@alphabladelm2011]

The same trainer who thought the Unova League was in Eckruteak City,Johto and needed 7 badges to qualify.

[@GoinGreninja]

Agreed. At least the battle here was intense with the Serperior and Blastoise with them doing back and forths, with Trip's new strategy prevailing because it was built specifically to beat Ash who used the same strategy multiple times and not innovating. It's much better because he can use this loss to maybe win the Kalos League too.

[@edsonhz1828]

Thanks for this video man I really enjoyed it!

[@garythestormtrooper5589]

Finally I’ve been waiting for this!

[@FiveToedSloth]

Team Rocket really did cause a lot of trouble, huh? Such rascals!

[@deansaiyano1035]

ITS YOU

[@FiveToedSloth]

@@deansaiyano1035 It sure is! Lol

[@alphabladelm2011]

While I’m massively relieved to know Blastoise didn’t lose to a rookie Snivy, I’m seriously disappointed Ash lost in the Unova League Preliminaries. The worst part was Ash could have easily avoided this mess if he didn’t rely on Blastoise to fight Trip’s started all the time. Unfeazant, Scolipede, Charizard, even Sawsbuck would have been a better choice. I’m both frustrated and distraught. Ash could have potentially gone on to win the league if he just made one different choice. My grievances aside, I’m thankful Tepig didn’t die from starvation and I liked Ash acquiring that Venipede he helped. Not to mention a more satisfying battle against Elesa. Canon really made Ash brain dead there. I have to admit, this was definitely a different Unova adventure. Hopefully, Ash will learn from all his mistakes to improve next time.

[@leonardofarias8843]

A event caused by being forced to be the protagonist

[@volcanicz6739]

This Ash losing to Trip in the League is a far more jaw dropping twist than any Hollywood movie twist

[@GracieJoines]

YES HE WAIT IS OVER OBVIOUSLY I HAVENT WATCHED IT YET BUT IT IS GOING TO MAKE UNOVA SEEM EVEN MORE CRAP this is genuinely my favourite youtube series EVER great job dude I love your videos❤❤❤

[@jfvecchi]

Don't know if this was already suggested, but you could do a video trying to beat each game with these teams from your timeline in which Ash woke up in time. I would definitely watch that!

[@ordinarylittlebastard3248]

I got kind of dissapointed that Ash lost to Trip,but I'm pretty sure that was the only way to show his growth if he lost all the previous matches with Ash.

[@vanguardbreaker8826]

I've been looking forward to this. Before I've even watched can tell it's going to be a great video.

[@HilaryWestfall]

I just binge-watched all 5 of these; they were all great! I am kind of surprised how little Team Rocket's presence (or lack thereof) ultimately affects the timeline though. I especially liked how you ignored the anime's reset in Unova; I realize you haven't posted in a while but I hope you'll continue this series with the rest of the anime!

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

I knew Trip's Serperior was gonna one day catch up with Ash's Blastoise.

[@xdcoolbro]

Still hate that ash still looses hope he wins in kalos
