👨‍🏫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 [e-mail].

Facts

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

Still a bad taste in my mouth from Ash losing the Kalos League finals, but when you see ALL of Charizard's battles in a video like this it shows that Greninja didn't really stand a chance against a beast that has gone up against dozens of Megas (let's be real we have no idea just how many Mega trainers Alain took down off screen with Charizard) and powerful legendaries.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I don't mind the loss since Alain was built up into such a nuanced character. His win felt a lot mroe deserved than Richie or Tyson imo.

[@aminfaka8986]

@@ProfessorAlexSilver lets not forget ashs loss against cameron. Atleast Alain and charizard were shown to be far more superior in battle than ash and greninja. What was so special about his riolu again?

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

@@ProfessorAlexSilver oh gosh I don't HATE the loss because I agree with what you said. We truly saw a solid story of Alain as opposed to a last minute league arrival rival like in past regions. I think for me the battle (while animated so freaking good) was lackluster; Greninja vs. Charizard I mean. The music for that final battle wasn't all that great like it was epic during Greninja vs. Sceptile (japanese version not English dub since that version's music always sucks...) and I don't know that final 'mega water shuriken' seemed like an "Ash pull" rather than something that made sense. There was 0 build up to an attack that powerful or even some B.S. explanation that the stronger the bond the limit would show in a different colored attack or something. True, Charizard had taken MORE hits, but its attacks were hitting harder like Tough Claw boosted Dragon Claws and Thunderpunch. Even though I thought Ash had a REAL chance when Greninja cancelled out that first Blast Burn...

[@narxmagee727]

Thank you! I've been saying this for years. It's bitter to watch Greninja fall and I understand that but when you look at the whole context and the amount of bodies Charizard caught, it really wasn't a contest

[@Alexgodofwar5662]

I would also add on that Alains Charizard X got DUMPSTERED by the weather trio. It also did not defeat Z2 50%, It blocked Extremespeed, got one not very effective dragon claw in, and got hit with lands wrath before team flare lazered it and it split apart again. The Greninja fight was mostly ash's fault, being a brute forcer like Alain but with worse moveset. Since Charizard X takes neutral damage from all his moves and is a bit more naturally bulky than the glasscannon Ash-Greninja forme. The Houndoom match was actually pretty even. And a pretty good matchup for Charizard X. the 10 in a row mega thing, he used Super potions between matches. Not really an OP feat.

[@castform7]

Alain and Charizard were on a whole nother level. I'm happy to see they're still happy traveling with Marin and Chespy and I hope they find that Mega Stone someday soon.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I'm hoping the cheers at the end of XY meant they found one :)

[@zak3000]

​@@ProfessorAlexSilver so are you KZbinr yes or no???

[@narxmagee727]

Alright alright, I know I might get hate for this but while I still do wish Ash won the Kalos league, this felt like his fairest lost. Alain's Charizard is an absolute powerhouse and unlike Tobias it doesn't feel forced. With Tobias he was just some dude created solely for the reason of "beat Ash". We don't know anything about him or his connections to Darkrai and Latios. With Alain however, we see his accomplishments and his care for Charizard. He was an actual character with a story and not Joe Smoe of the street. We knew Alain, we know what he did and that's why I think while Ash loosing was and is disappointing to the max, I don't feel too bad about it at all.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I agree, Charizard was made out to be a BEAST by the time they battled. Alain was a peer to Steven Stone and slayer of the Elite 4.

[@ashishmehta8342]

I agree.I don't get why some people are still so salty.Moreover,the same stans don't have a problem with their beloved ninja defeating a Mega Sceptile.

[@CarNerd7]

"Not Joe smoe of the street" lmao , yeah exactly this was the most respectable loss even though it sucks ash lost its completely understandable , Alain's mega charizard X is an absolute beast , one of the strongest trainers and Pokemon seen in the whole anime

[@Ghoulofidiocy2917]

And That's Why People Call Greninja The Strongest Pokemon Of Ash.He Literally Went One To One With A Pokemon Who Defeated 10 Megas And Even Alan Admitted That It Was A Battle That Gave Him A Sense Of Fun

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

Let's be real; who wants to see Alain and Leon have a battle to see who has the best Zard? We're only told about Leon's battle record but Alain...we saw the epic matches it had to win! Leon's Charizard seems to always be on the backfoot before Gigantimaxing to win the battle. So, I would say in 'normal' form; Alain's may have the advantage. *Yes, Gigantamax on Leon's side is an advantage. However, Alain with a Mega (Y or X) could make things a bit more interesting...

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I'd love to see the battle, but only if Alain wins, which I know will never happen haha.

[@masteraurahero2757]

I think maybe a tie

[@castform7]

Oh thatwould be an awesome Zard battle. I'd expect Leon to win but it would still be a Champion time, that's for sure.

[@arunaraghu4453]

That would be cool , but U know what would be even more awesome? Alain returning and having a rematch with Greninja and Ash if he returns

[@patrickstyle24816]

the anime is prob gonna make Leon win, cause he's "world champion", but Alain would prob win

[@ferrellkang4954]

If I looked up ‘BEAST’ in the dictionary, I’d see a picture of Alain’s Charizard.

[@diegoborda5560]

Which season is this one?

[@Pichoniix]

Alain is a Monster.. I think people is underestimating Alain. Some said that he lost against Siebold. But that was episode 1 of his Mega Evolution series, there's a big difference of power and experience between episode 1-4. In episode 4 Alain is already a powerhouse he proved it by mopping the floor with literally everyone I watched all the Mega Evolution Series of Alain. If he battled Siebold again I have no doubt Alain would mop the floor with him, so Alain being in the Master 8 is no surprise for me, I also believe that Alain's Charizard is the strongest pokemon between all the Champs Pokemon.. To prove it even more, remember in episode 1 when Alain Charizard battled against Mega Garchomp? Charizard barely came out with the victory but in the Kalos League they battled again and this time Charizard had no trouble defeating Mega Garchomp in less than a minute even though Garchomp had trained a lot with his master so this is an example of how powerful Alain was at that point compared to Alain From Episode 1. Greninja almost beat the crap out of Champ Diantha's Gardevior so Greninja was broken but Alain's Charizard is a Monster that took Electric ⚡ 🌩 attacks from Pikachu and also from Greninja but he still came out with the victory so this is why Alain is in the Master 8 he's a monster. Facts.

Definitely think it would've beat Blastoise post-league

Alains charizard is so amazing especially when it mega evolves into mega charizard! Also I like Alain as a rival for ash the only think I didn’t like was when Alain worked for team flare and they captured ash and it sounds so hard for forgive someone who would do something like that but really it became a big mistake that Alain made and perhaps Lysandre wasn’t fully specific to what meant what he was going to change to work for to also, I’m glad it worked out I the end and I just finish watching the 19th season Of the Pokémon anime that I just started watching this past weekend and it was an incredible experience and somewhat emotional at the end when ash released greninja and when he and his friends that he traveled with all went their separate ways at the end. But also good video professor and it was a good ride for Alain too on the show for how much screen time he gained over time. Also one more think about Alain, if he were to return then I would love to see him battle with ash and have a one on one charizard battle since they both have charizards as their Pokémon!. That be cool huh? 😊

The best part is Alain taught his Charizard Trignometry which is one of the reasons he's my favourite character in Pokemon!

The best part is Leon Destroyed him with "NO DIFF" That's why I freakin' love Leon

[@drummergurl99]

Honestly i grey up on Pokémon and the first gens series was my fave... but I gotta say this has to be my actual fave mainly cuz of Alain and his charizard. The story is also so strong and amazing. Definitely my favorite, very well written and animated.

It honestly surpassed Ash's Charizard for me in terms of battling. Ash's still has a better personality though

You have too be impressed with Greninja's growth rate considering the difference in time that alan had with Charizard and ash having Greninja the gap between them closed quickly if ash and Greninja had more time to train battle bond they might have won

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Very true! Ash & Greninja rocketed to stardom :)

[@Azdaja13]

Thank you, I've made this point before but people screeched about Ash losing the Kalos League even though it was pretty obvious from all the build-up over the course of the Mega Evolution series that Ash stood absolutely no chance against Alain's Charizard. "Oh but Ash's Greninja has a special form!" Yes, but its battle experience is still pretty standard, while Alain's Charizard has endured gruelling training and has battled and held its own against multiple legendaries. The power imbalance there is simply too great for a cheap form change to overcome. Had Ash won that battle, I'd have rolled my eyes from just how unearned that victory would have been. What makes Infernape's victory over Electivire satisfying isn't the victory itself, but the fact that it was earned across all of the Diamond and Pearl series. If I was writing it and wanted Greninja to win, I'd have had an arc where Greninja undergoes similar or equivalent experiences to Alain's Charizard so that it would be more of a match of equals.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Great points! I enjoyed how fleshed out Alain & Charizard were before the battle, it made their win much more believable

[@Azdaja13]

@@ProfessorAlexSilver I think the problem with Alain and his Charizard and why people were upset with Ash's loss was because Alain's storyline was covered in the Mega Evolution specials, which presumably they didn't watch. As much as I could blame them for not watching them, I can also see the argument that them being specials might make people think that they weren't relevant to the X and Y anime's story when they were. I do tend to get annoyed when series tend to spread storylines over different parallel series (Star Wars has been guilty of this recently) making them hard to follow. However the Mega Evolution specials were pretty accessible even with that taken into consideration.

I think that Alan's Charizard has the most insane endurance out of any Pokémon in this 1,000 episode-long series (not counting counting huge Legendaries and such)

[@steel.9714]

Midnight lycanrocs of anime who basically play defense : *Oh wait!*

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Fighting 10 Megas definitely supports that argument

[@satoshiashketchum6375]

But we have Infernape under the influence of poison, plus Alain healed Charizard when he fought against 10 mega Pokémon.

[@Lonelysarchives]

@@satoshiashketchum6375 He fed him a Pecha Berry to cure the Poison and sprayed Charizard with a Super Potion once (and that wasn't even before battling Malva, he didn't heal before facing her). People seem to remember it as if he healed after every single battle

[@satoshiashketchum6375]

@@Lonelysarchives They didn't even show all the battles, and most likely he healed Charizard between fights without showing it in the frame. Plus, Malva was generally defeated stupidly. She didn't look like an Elite-level trainer next to the same trainer with Vinosaurus. Of course, this is already a great achievement, but somehow everything does not look very believable. For example, when Ash fought the Elite Four, it was clear that they were very strong, as Hypodon withstood the Leaf Storm, and then the Flamethrower and Blast Burn, but not naturally. Even Greninja was better at taking hits without the Ash Greninja mod. All this is done to please the gennviners, so that they buy Charizard merch.

[@FenixPajarito]

I think people is underestimating Alain. Some said that he lost against Siebold. But that was episode 1 of his Mega Evolution series, there's a big difference of power and experience between episode 1-4. In episode 4 Alain is already a powerhouse he proved it by mopping the floor with literally everyone I watched all the Mega Evolution Series of Alain. If he battled Siebold again I have no doubt Alain would mop the floor with him, so Alain being in the Master 8 is no surprise for me, I also believe that Alain's Charizard is the strongest pokemon between all the Champs Pokemon..

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Agreed 100%

[@FenixPajarito]

@@ProfessorAlexSilver To prove it even more, in episode 1 Alain's Charizard Battled Remo's Mega Garchomp and Charizard barely came out with the Victory.. In episode 4 they battled again and this time Remo and Garchomp were supposed to be even stronger than before because they trained non stop since the day they lost against Alain but this time it was even easier for Alain's Charizard to defeat Mega Garchomp without hesitation. So you can tell the difference of episode 1 from 4 Alain at that point is above any Four Elite Member. Without mentioning he defeated a Greninja that was beating Diantha's Gardevior when they fought...

Plot armor
