[@FirePuff12]

I didn't realize, but now that I think about it, Paul becomes a bit less of a jerk after he finds this out iirc.

I thought Brandon was his Father. Just like how we later learned that Barry's Father is a Frontier Brain as well in Sinnoh.

Not his father but Brandon did beat both Paul and his Brother Reggie. The battle with Paul being one of my favorites in the entire series. Damn Sinnoh was good.

JC Gam1ng yeah true

[@ChampionBlaze]

To this day the battle frontier season is still one of my absolute fav seasons of Pokémon! It did so many things right with the battles, adapting the battle frontier to the anime, and bringing back old Pokémon for nostalgia and Fan service but in the best way possible. This same strategy is applied to the Sinnoh league with added strategy and makes it feel like a battle frontier 2.0. It still holds up and definitely was my fav season of Pokémon before DP came along. And the music throughout Hoenn made it even better! Great review man! Now it’s time to watch the Alola league review. Yeah I know, mad late watching it. 😅😅

The Battle Frontier arc was awesome. It was one of my first introductions to the pokemon anime. I was really disappointed to find out that there was a Battle Frontier in the Diamond and Peral games and Ash didn't particapte in it. I really hope Ash particaptes in the Sinnoh Battle Frontier arc for the new series. Plus it would be a great way to introduce the upcoming Diamond and Pearl remakes

[@TrinityCore60]

That WOULD be interesting. It could even be a location of the World Championships.

[@nellewoodruff6337]

Wait that's genius

[@SupermarketSweep777]

I think Brandon tests all his challengers by being very brash at first. He does this to weed out those fall short and give up vs. those who truly want to be a master of the Battle Frontier. Look at Sinnoh where Reggie mentioned that Brandon eviscerated him even though like Ash, he had gone through the other leagues.

[@Popstalgia]

This was super nostalgic, and one of my favorite eras of the anime. I wish they would showcase more post game content in the anime. Also I think it would be cool to go back and do the style anime review for each of the movies! We have lots of time on our hands lol.

[@dawnsbuneary]

My favorite moment of Ash v. Brandon #3 is when Pikachu uses 2 Iron Tails in a row. Back when Pikachu was just learning Iron Tail, it actually was physically incapable of doing so, so the fact that Pikachu started off only being able to do one Iron Tail, to being able to do 2 in a row was amazing. It just goes to show how far both Ash AND Pikachu have come since starting out.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

Noland: I remember thinking OMG Charizard learned Blast Burn! Then was disappointed that it was only Overheat (that 'missed' due to Water Pulse)... Greta: Ash didn't use Swellow or Noctowl instead of Grovyle because... Tucker: Ok, giving Ash PROPS because the intro before the battle was EPICCCC! Great combos in the match, BUT let's be real; Ash had no business winning with Swellow and Corphish HAHA Swampert used like 5 moves so I guess that's karma from Snorlax using 6 before! Ash's team didn't even land an attack on their opponents aside from when they used Aerial Ace and Crabhammer to win! Correct me if I'm wrong but aside from those finishing blows, the only other time Arcanine and Swampert took damage was when they accidentally rammed into each other when Swellow sped up Double Team with Quick Attack! The water/fire fusion was epic because it was used by May in the Grand Festival and then her and Dawn did it during the D/P series! Lucy: You said everything I was thinking about this match in your video! Spenser: Overall, solid battle! Great to see Heracross again! Anabel: Alakazam was so annoying/strong! Geez if Corphish had evolved it would've done great in that battle (even better than it did). Not sure why you'd ever teach Focus Punch to an Alakazam...Anabel's whole 'talking' to Pokemon thing reminded me of Spenser's Battle Area in the games where your Pokemon will 'battle for themselves' and it all comes down to their natures determining defense vs offensive moments. Interesting stuff! Brandon: 1st match was trash.....2nd match was actually GOOD! Why not use Donphan? Immune to Zap Cannon, not effected by Sandstorm so the only thing Registeel could do is Lock on for Metal Claw, BUT Donphan's rolling speed would EASILY make it much faster than Registeel! Not to mention it knew Earthquake as a Phanphy! 3rd battle...Ash's "OH NO I FORGOT!" when Seismic Toss was used on a Ghost type...I'll never forget that OR when Pikachu took out a FULLY RESTORED Regice (thanks to Rest) with a Volt Tackle...the ref didn't even see if it could still battle. It was slammed against the wall and like 2 seconds later; REGICE IS UNABLE TO BATTLE PIKACHU IS THE WINNER! Bro...too bad Hala wasn't there to call out that b.s. nonsense! Great video!

[@davidanthonymercado7064]

For the 2nd battle with Brandon, Donphan could’ve use Earthquake because the anime banned it. And I don’t think that Donphan can learn any other ground type attacks.

[@firewon1232]

This arc was epic and the peak of Ash Ketchum as trainer (until Ash vs Kukui), he beat the 7 Frontier brains who are as strong as E4 members and defeated 2 legendaries in 1 vs 1, it was the best way to end the advanced generation series

[@RheemQ]

Tbh, I don't know why Brandon is said to be that strong because I could see him being a champion. I'd say if he was a champion he would be just below Leon, Ash, and Cynthia considering he barely lost to Ash and he didn't use two of his legendaries when Ash beat him. Now sure, Ash is stronger and would smoke him if he used his strongest Pokémon but I still could see him destroying Lance, Steven, Iris, and Diantha tbh. Alain would give him a challenge and might beat him but I'd say he would be behind only the ones I mentioned.

I kinda understand Brandon's atitude in Battling the Enemy Within. Ash's arrogance led to him being possessed and basically almost _kill_ the referee in their first match. Ash _is_ to blame here.

Even though torkoal is a bad pokemon, it put a good fight against Reggie steel And is at least better then stupid Unfent and goodra!

[@guardzoma5857]

Oh I see. Now,I really need to talk about Lucy in my future expectations. I talked about her once before but it’s not a priority unlike what I will install for her in the future.

At first when I saw the thumbnail I knew it was going to be a joke but I didn't expect to be a battle frontier review which was awesome to be honest I'm definitely going to re-watch the battle frontier saga cuz of how awesome it was!!!!!

[@lillyhorselover]

Can you review the contest battles???? I really love them!

[@quantumquasar2692]

I don't understand Ash's obsession with Torkoal. He brought it when he faced Darkrai too. FUCKING DARKRAI.

[@giboit.]

Thanks for this. The battle frontier season was the only season that I for some reason never got to see. So, this was really helpful and interesting to see.

[@readymason5811]

Even though April fools day was cancelled, I will happily accept this prank.

[@rinayonzontamang3095]

Yo zac love your vids, and I have an idea, u should review all the trials and grand trials since u have done basically everything else

[@akselmarazyan4613]

Battle frontier is one of the best seasons of the Anime

[@hildegan0]

Ash vs spenser, ash vs noland and 3rd ash vs brandon are great battles; they are some of the best battles of the entire pokemon anime

[@abdullahifarah5878]

The idea of Charizard losing to a dusclops yet mid-high difficulty beats Articuno is disturbing for me. Maybe that Articuno isn't strong as Brandon's team but damn lol

[@inamdaryasin]

I know Torkoal suck but you think Heracross will done any better? In whole anime Heracross only win 1 important match (2 if you count random trainer Scizor) before sinnoh league, He lost against Spenser's Venasaur and it was Solar beam.

[@pokemonchampion4826]

Yeah I'm sure Heracross won't make any difference.

[@oresti9271]

Well to be fair Ash's heracross didn't have to much time to shine he just deposited heracross to proffesor oak in the episode who jessie got wobbuffet and then he didn't used him again since the johto League it's not like his Goodra noivern or torterra I mean Goodra returned for the league and I believe didn't won once a d the only noiverns wins who I know it's against Clemonts bunnelby in the beginning of one of the kalos movies also did torterra ever won something as torterra?

[@inamdaryasin]

@@oresti9271 I'm just saying Heracross won't make any difference, no way Ash would win against Registeel with Heracross. Heracross beat megmar with type disadvantage and Nando ace than everyone putting him with pokemons like Krookodile and Lycanroc who show much stronger feats.

[@oresti9271]

@@inamdaryasin okay that's true

[@samjoshwilliams4713]

I know, how about for the next reviews, you do the Grand Festival Battles with May and Dawn.

[@MattyPan118]

Ash x Anabel will always be the best.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

9:21 this makes me wish the episode involving lucy was a 2 parter. have her befriend the gang (and brock) first, dealing with team rocket shenanigans AND THEN second episode we focus on her battle with ash

[@1496blake]

Brandon: "NO!"

[@CyberseGreninja]

I really like the way you set up this video. From a joke to an epic nostalgia trip 👍

[@davidedalterio4979]

9:43 What's the deal with anime N?
