Ash litterary sweeped Wallace offscreen in Pokemon journeys and he even called his battle with him "training" lol so I rather have Steven in masters 8 rather than Wallace

[efebs]

Why would Diantha not be in the Masters 8? She's also a champion and her being easy in the games doesn't mean she's weak in the anime.

[jacobreichert]

I’m not vibing with the Diantha disrespect. Were X&Y notoriously easy games? Yes. But Diantha is still Kalos’ champion. To me this shows that the champions in anime canon are the definitive strongest trainers in the region, even stronger than post game bosses like frontier brains. The only one I think could be replaced is switching out Alain with Wallace, and that’s only because Hoen has always shown a balance between land and sea which is symbolized in its duel champions of Wallace( sea) and Steven(land)

[danielhamoy]

The masters 8 is honestly perfect the way it is. It would be so weird to have the eight strongest trainers in the world NOT be the league champions of each region. Having Alder and Wallace there would be a total upset plot-wise, and not having the reigning champion of Kalos but having the Lumiose conference winner there wouldn’t make a lot of sense.

[calebe]

I could argue that mustard and alder are too old for traveling all the time and decided to retire. I mean, if you took the games as an example, mostard was literally retired, he decided to run a dojo, a place where he teaches other trainers instead of battling all the time. And alder, in the games, wasn't exactly having much fun as he already had since his pokepartner died so, whem iris defeated him, he was actually happy by this, and could retire knowing someone just as strong as him took his place

[dashlee]

I mean this entire list is just completely biased and he doesn’t take into account that the master 8 are comprised of THE STRONGEST trainers, not the ones who have potential to become one of the strongest or the ones who used to be the strongest. There’s a reason why some of the mentors of the strongest trainers, like Mustard and Alder, are not in the masters and that’s because Leon and Iris both have surpassed their mentors and previous champions. So saying that someone else should be replaced in this current Masters 8 are only just biased remarks.

[jamiechesnut]

To me Alder and Mustard don't need to be there. They're both retired and their pupils are in this tournament. So their legacies live on through Leon and Iris.

[TKnHappyNess]

I don't get Mystic's logic. He doesn't want 2 Kalos representatives like Alain and Diantha, but is okay with having 2 Galar representatives like Leon and Mustard. Although Mustard's wife Honey would be more of a surprise to be in the Masters 8

[syedhasanaskariabidi]

This list was EXTREMELY biased lmao. U're ok to have 2 Galar Representatives but are saying that adding 2 Kalos ones is Wrong. Not to mention, u're scaling Diantha off of Games. In the Anime, she is a Pretty strong trainer so calling her weak is BS. Also, it makes sense to have the Running Champions instead of the formers since the Masters 8 comprises of the Strongest Trainers of each region.

[aswinpsivan]

Replacing Steven with Wallace is no go in anime Wallace kind a sucks in other hand Steven's metagros go toe to toe with primal groudon

[Kawhi]

bruh if wallace is up in the 8 and not Steven. Imagine how many complaints they will receive.

[theking]

Leon WASN'T immediately the strongest in the world when he was introduced. He was introduced in the finals of the previous Masters 8 tournament. Him and Lance were the two finalists in that tournament, and Leon beat him, giving him the title of strongest.

[EZ]

I gotta disagree heavily. The participants they have now are perfect. Your picks would make more sense if this wasn't a tournament full champions, you wanna add beaten champions, elite Four members, gym leaders. Diathia was never beaten by Alain so she needs to be there to represent Kalos. Adding Mustard would be so random, we don't need wisdom we need champions at their peak. Alder gets wrecked if Iris sets up stealth rock so no I don't wanna see Alder, again peak champions plus Alder's character was more annoying than Iris. Wallace has never been better than Steven, there is a reason why he got dunked on and demoted to gym leader.. Not even elite 4. Nice video, if it was to make me say out loud "wtf" then congrats. 👏👍

[krammerant]

Imagine Tobias just rolling up with legendaries that can dynamax.

[michaelolson]

Steven should be in for sure. His mega metagross was terrifying in the games - honestly the hardest champion for that pokemon alone in mine opinion.

[shadowgiraffe]

One character who 100% should be in the top 8 is Tobias. He demolished the Sinnoh league, only struggling slightly with Ash. We need to see him be defeated and to see the rest of his cracked team.

[luisangelbaezsegui]

Love Diantha being there, and Iris reaching back to be able to get to the top 8 is also a great edition.

[ktonivoy]

Diantha is underrated in the anime she can command her ace by looks alone of course she's strong and replacing Steven with walace is just bad

[pokefandylan]

Wallace shouldn’t be here though, since he’s much more of a Contest guy in the anime, especially since the Wallace Cup exists, and also Lance vs. Diantha was a great battle between power vs. strategy, and Iris vs. Cynthia was great cause it showed why Iris wanted to become champion, and great interactions between Iris and Cynthia

[theking]

The anime is not the same as the games. When introducing the Masters Eight, the announcer said that Diantha's battling skillings are just as good as her acting skills.
