Wow, you got good at this, man.

Look, I'm not the biggest fan of Charizard either, but I respect Leon's, it's beaten me several times, and besides it took out three of Blaine's Pokemon in Let's Go for me.
Doliwhop suggestion. How about you try doing your own Scarlet and Violet in the A.R.U (Ash's Team Redone Universe) if he went to Paldea?
This was awesome chef Kiss ❤❤❤
I would've done it
Masters 8: Ash, Brandon, Cynthia, Iris, Diantha, Lance, Steven, Paul – (Lean being the champion match for whoever wins the masters 8)
Round 1:
Ash VS Steven – I liked the original match up
Iris VS Lance – Master of the Dragon Champions
Paul VS Brandon – It would be nice for a little redemption to the best rival
Diantha VS Cynthia – The two most influential champs on Ash
Round 2:
Ash VS Iris – It would be a nice end to their friendship / rivalry
Paul VS Cynthia – Of course, I would let the best rival face best champion
Round 3:
Ash VS Cynthia – Its the match up we've all been waiting for
Champion Match
Ash VS Leon – duh
dude you got good at this
Loved a lot of changes you made and new story elements were cool as well the art looked amazing to. I just imagine in my head that the rules for the Masters 8 always change and this is the first time they are letting all 3 battle gimmicks be used and all of the champions training to master all 3 gimmicks since they all just specialized in one for the most part. Think it would be a fun story element and put Ash as a serious threat.
Wish u said world championships not world coronation series
Lance is a Flying Type trainer pretending to be a Dragon trainer
Not bad, but it would've been nice to see Ash use more ice types besides just Lapras.
didnt ash have lapras in canon???
Honestly the Charizard hate is so petty, I can't help but respect it as a lover of Charizard. I'm surprised you even allowed it on Lance's team.
Anyway, the idea of a round robin tournament is pretty interesting and can work in the anime since we saw jt in a portion of the Silver Conference, but I do that it would probably be soley Ash focused at that point which is a bit of a hit for the tournament in my opinion since I liked seeing the Champions bounce off each other in the quarters and feel like with this format we wouldn't get cool moments like Wallace and Steven putting the Pokemon they gifted to eachother against one another in a cool battle. In this format, Ash alone is supposed to go against 7 different people in 6v6 battles which take at the very least 2 episodes. That's minimum 14 episodes of big battles which sounds awesome but also like the undertaking of a century for the anime staff especially with Journeys' infamous production issues. To be clear, I am aware of this being a hypothetical, in this world the anime has infinite budget and zero deadlines to make the greatest event in the shows history. My weird brain just can't help but think of the monumental task this would be just for Ash in reality.
I also didn't notice till the Leon battle that that's the only battle Pikachu gets to be in. Now, it's not like Pikachu's got to be in every battle known to man. Ash has benched him before even in 6v6 scenarios like Gary but something about it just feels a little off to me. It's like Lance not using Dragonite for majority of the tournament or Cynthia without Garchomp. I don't know, maybe it's just an attachment thing on my part.
I know this comment has been mostly semi negative but I would like to say I do like the idea of each competitor having access to all 3 gimmicks. In Journeys I don't mind Ash only getting to use all 3 (or 4 with the second Gigantamax) for Leon cause let's be honest that was the only believable way he won that fight plus it was awesome so now that he has heavy hitters going up against Leon (and presumably in this universe, Leon won't be as cracked as he was in actual Journeys while still feeling like the strongest person there), yeah sure give it to everyone. Them using every gimmick to their advantage as well as working around any gimmick that comes their way would be a great showcase of why these 8 are the best of the best.
Lastly, totally respect the omission of Alain. While I do really like him and think he is strong enough to be here, he kinda sticks out like a sore thumb as the only non Champion who was just there for a Charizard measuring contest in the original Journeys. Wallace just makes more sense especially since we have the potential there for a battle from the Serena episode.
Also great video. As you can see I had a lot of thoughts about it 😂.
Really love all of these matches and the teams given. Ash creating a new one here has such a cool reason for existence.
Well in the anime Steven actually beat Wallace for the title after the gen3 journey
4:00 for some reason, the thought of a Whimsicot facing Hydregion is really funny
You should make a story series of the entire ATR, similar to Zactoshi’s Sword and Shield anime😮😊
Great changes, like Lance having a trío of draconian starters and Diantha havind Diancie. I think Cynthia could have had Hisuian Pokemon to reflect her interest in the past.
I like the idea of round robin so that Ash can face more of the masters 8 but I think it might become a bit odd for Ash not to slip up at some point. It would give Ash more reason to use his older pokemon though so that is good. I Still want Iris to face Cynthia or Lance to fully cement herself as a dragon master. I still think Alain should be there but definitely to fight Ash.
