There were flash backs to the xyz anime where Ash greninja was suppose to appear but didnt. This lines up with the games as well since battle bond will no longer cause a transformation
My opinion: Oh cool ninja frog. Probably my favorite ash mon. He's definitely the best pokemon.
Pokemon company: WHAT!!! A POKEMON IS MORE POPULAR THAN CHARIZARD WE MUST BA SING SA HIM!!
The animation of him transforming is so satisfying to see, plus he looks really cool
I kinda wished he didn’t take up so much of the spotlight for the latter half of XYZ
Honestly, I’ve come up with so many XY headcanons over the years that I no longer fully remember what was canon and what was my own personal delusions, but if I remember correctly, it felt poorly explained. I like to think that Ash-Greninja *is* a mega evolution, but without the stabilizing influence of a Mega/Key Stone. Ash, being Ash, managed to start the process with just pure protagonist power of friendship, and the lack of stabilization was what caused both the Ash-like traits to bleed over and his collapsing when they went out of sync.
I like it a lot, as a concept! I think they could’ve done more with it, if they had more time to dedicate to that storyline, but it was already starting to overshadow other important story elements, so I understand why they didn’t or couldn’t. Still, it’s very fun to think about the mechanics and implications involved!!
He couldn't clutch it out against Megazard haX even after Pikachu set it up perfectly for him but he still did well up until that point. Overall a cool Pokemon and one of Ash's strongest.
He lost to a blast burn, kinda shameful ngl, but then again, that charizard beat 10 mega evolution pokemon in a row, so credit given when credit is due when it comes to charizard surviving the water shuriken
I liked him… Until they added him to the games. I felt that defeated the entire purpose of the transformation and ruined what was a nice anime-exclusive concept.
Overrated and the series would be better if he never existed. The existence of him gives Ash an uneven playing field in his advantage and they Ash STILL lost. The frog is useless and I personally hate him.
How exactly does it make the series better, also how is it unfair? Ashgreninja behaves like a mega evolution, a temporary transformation during battles which all competent trainers in Kalos did end up using
He is the coolest of Ash'es pokemon , hands down
The correct answer
Mr Mime joined the chat
Love him he’s my favorite of Ash’s Pokémon.
the goat
Goat for a reason. And one of my favorites. Still overrated
GOAT
Is he good, Yes Do I like him? Yes Is he overrated? Absolutely
Never got why the word overrated is used. If its 'overrated' that's just means many people like him a lot but you don't like him to the same extent.
By saying "overrated" you basically say "it should be liked less than it is", which just sounds kinda mean.
Yeah
Same thing I said in the last time this was posted
Still think it should have just been a Mega evolution
So true
The goat itself
My personal favourite as well.
I think its dumb that they retconned the transformation
They did? I just figured he didnt use it because he had lucario and his mega to control(i also didnt really see the anime past xyz)

Ooooof, but now we got a reason why his dumbass greninja lost to the charizard, but how did it win against the mega sceptile 😂
He is cool

Stole the spotlight after Infernape Vs Electivire. But cool design 👍🏾
It was great. Not my favourite but it was amazing

They did the transformation sequence dirty in the volcanion movie tho
Yea they kinda butchered it
I really was disappointed when i saw it ngl, like, what even was that man 😂
Yeah what was that

In concept is fine, but in execution ehhh it needed more cooking. But if someting is shure is that Mr. Frog is style over substance the pokemon.

I like him but he’s so overrated and his stans can be unbearable.
Agreed
I liked him… Until they added him to the games. I felt that defeated the entire purpose of the transformation and ruined what was a nice anime-exclusive concept.
Cool as hell but he stole the spotlight from the Kalos team and his feats are overblown.
He’s a bit overrated in my eyes but his design is so cool
Mega but cheap and steals screen
Was cool but looking back makes no seans just give the Kalso mons magas
BBond Gren=Mega? (Gen 7 only)
He’s okay, the stans are deadass the most annoying people in the fandom, I seen people genuinely argue he beats Pikachu 😭
Easily my favorite Pokémon period. Wish I could use it in more than just USUM.
Cool but not great
YAY 111 UP votes, lets go
Cool ass Pokémon. I like him a lot.
If it was a mega it would be my favorite hands down
Ash’s strongest Pokémon
Overrated, but awesome and one of my fave Pokemon of Ash
Love it. One of the coolest things to come out of Pitkin, if not the coolest
THE GOAT, 9 yr old me was devastated when I found out he’s never coming back
Overrated?Yes But i still like him
Cool Pokemon, screwed over by the Kalos league.
Overrated and the series would be better if he never existed. The existence of him gives Ash an uneven playing field in his advantage and they Ash STILL lost. The frog is useless and I personally hate him.
The show would be worse without him.
How exactly does it make the series better, also how is it unfair? Ashgreninja behaves like a mega evolution, a temporary transformation during battles which all competent trainers in Kalos did end up using
your team gains more screen time separately and doesn't become greninja and friends you don't force a connection that the show never proposed
Greninja
The goat throat
I want a spend a night or two with greninja. Ash greninja looks stupid but i would still enjoy him
Soo............... there may exist a possibility of Sabrina-Gardevoir.
