YMMV / Pokemon S 2 E 32 Enter The Dragonite

• Broken Base: Does the Orange League count as a 'true' League victory for Ash since it's from a filler arc? Better have burn heal on hand because arguments over whether it should or shouldn't gets incredibly heated online. On one hand, Drake is treated as a legitimately competent trainer with very dangerous Pokemon befitting a game Champion. On the other hand, since there wasn't actually a tournament leading up to the battle or an Elite Four, it's unclear just how strong Drake really is and if he's on the same league as game champions.
