Serebii electroweb4/2/2023 Like Cynthia is in the second spot, but the writers seem to want to make it clear that their version of Leon is far, far above even Cynthia. Leon's unbeatable status as Galar's greatest Champion was extended to him being the strongest Trainer in the entire world, and the writers basically wrote him to be a million times stronger than every single Champion. Journeys seems to be juggling between wanting to be the Gen 8 anime and thus represent Galar and SwSh while also being a world tour multiregion celebration anime series for Pokemon, and as such Leon's character had to be adjusted accordingly.and they fumbled it bad. The games did a solid job at actually humanizing Leon in many ways.īut the anime just dropped the ball with him. He's strong because he's a guy who's always learning from his battles. His status as the "unbeatable Champion" worked with respect to SwSh in the gameverse because that was something he held only in Galar, and what also made it clear he wasn't perfect was the existence of his rival Raihan, who was stated in-universe to be able to go toe-to-toe with Leon and actually come close to beating him. The writers don't seem to know how to differentiate between "unbeatable" and "invincible/untouchable". To be clear, I love Leon in SwSh the games, he's my favorite game Champion thus far, but in the anime his character's execution has been pretty terrible.
