Talk:Lucario VS Renamon/@comment-26902116-20170705200308

I know that this episode has already started quite a heated debate. But I just wanna quickly throw in my two cents. I'm excited about this episode but it's majorly unnecessary in my eyes. And it's not even because I think that the match is stompy or anything like that. It's actually Death Battle's & Pokemon vs Digimon's fault itself. Becuase Death Battle treated Pokemon vs Digimon like a blanket statement across all Pokemon vs Digimon episodes. Don't believe me? Look at the title for Episode 57: Pokemon vs Digimon. It's not called Charizard vs Greymon or anything to that effect. The way they treated that episode made any other Pokemon vs Digimon episodes null & void within the context of their show. This is evident in the explanation in the end of the Pokemon vs Digimon episode. They stopped talking about the two Pokemon involved & started talking about the series' & their respective treatments of power levels (i.e. Digivolving & Mega Evolving) in a blanketed way. " Honestly, it all comes down to a huge difference between Pokémon and Digimon itself, the escalation of evolution. Pokémon evolution improves monsters in increments, whereas the gap between Digimon forms is often massive, and quite frankly absurd." In my eyes, that statement effectively should have killed any & all hope for any future Pokemon vs Digimon episodes, including Lucario vs Renamon, whether they change the conditions of the battle or not. Like I said, I'm still excited for the episode but if they wanted to do this episode then they never should have done the Pokemon vs Digimon episode in the manner in which they did. And no matter the outcome they don't come out looking good. Because if Renamon wins, then it means they were right & this match was entirely pointless. But if Lucario wins then it means that their perception & explanation of the differences in power levels within the Pokemon & Digimon universe was wrong from the get go. Anyhow, that's how I see it. Feel free to have your say on my view & such & such.
