Leon doesn't even use any sort of thought or strategy to win his battles: he does it just brute force without lifting a finger.

And then you have the likes of Flint and Alain, who in their originating series had some excellent showing and proved themselves to be great, powerful Trainers, and they get totally wrecked by Leon with minimal effort. Raihan got treated bad by this anime series because while he's still Leon's rival even in the animeverse he had no chance to show off his capability to go neck and neck with Leon because he was only shown in yet another pathetic 1v1. The only time he showed any times of a close fight is his first on-screen with Lance, and that was mitigated by it being a 1v1. A good way to humanize him would be to have him show some signs of struggling against his opponents, but no, he has to totally pulverize every last one of them.

They don't know how to write Leon being strong without making his battles being written as "Leon strong hype, Leon strong hype". Like if you take the rest of the M8, the likes of Lance, Cynthia, Steven, and Diantha are all relative to each other in strength, same with Iris and Alain, but then they decided that to work with Leon's status as "unbeatable" that he should be leagues above even the veteran Champions who are in the M8.Īnd the execution of his battles to showcase his strength has been absolutely awful. 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. Click to expand.The issue isn't Diantha herself, it's Leon.
