I wouldn't be surprised if Ash can solo JJK just of his physical strength

Not even a question, he actually can, it's been proven plenty of times that Pokemon Humans are just built differently

The number of Fighting Game Gym Leaders(and Trainers) alone that genuinely train AND fight against their Pokemon(Which includes Machamp that can flatten MOUNTAINS and punch at the speed of BULLET TRAINS) should be proof of that alone.

It still slays me that canonically the only reason pokeballs work is due to pokemons inherent and seemingly universal ability to shrink, and the reason it doesn't work on humans is simply because they lack the ability to shrink.

That's not even it as Pokemon can freely leave a Poke Ball if they feel they are getting slighted or other shit.
The only reason they are in there is due to the trust and worthiness they feel from their trainer, no more, no less.

My point was more about the fact the balls aren't really special in any way, it is quite simply a fact all pokemon can shrink down to fit inside them.

There are so many old debates/question about this asking what could pokeballs catch/be used to catch and the answer is quite simply "The pokemon can shrink, if your asking about a character that can't shrink its literally useless"

Apparently arceus is the first time it's made it over the sea but in japan this might have always been the case? Atleast from what little Ive heard.

My understanding is localizers figured English speakers wouldn't get the whole shrinking thing (Which tbf there are people online still pissing themselves over this), and it wasn't that important so it got the axe, only for the explanation to essentially be required for arceus to work and us finally being told "Yeah...they shrink bitch, why do you think they're called pocket monsters dummy?"

I just realized I screwed up on one part with Machamp:

It's not that it can just flatten Mountains, but move Moutains with ONE HAND


And again, Gym Leaders tend to not only have a Machamp but TRAIN WITH Machamp too
Chuck and Poliwrath:

Greta and Hariyama

Maylene and Lucario

Bea and Hawlucha
Although its body is small, its proficient fighting skills enable it to keep up with big bruisers like Machamp and Hariyama.

Hawlucha live quietly without flocking together. They fight constantly with their natural enemies: noisy groups of Primeape.

Shit gets wild man
 

It's always been the case in Japan, that's why it's Japanese title is called Pocket Monsters...

Greta and Hariyama


Maylene and Lucario

Yep and those are also Fighting Pokemon that the Fighting Gym Leaders also fight against
 
I already know about the thread and it's still stupid anyway...

Why...? Sasuke and Hashirama have the firepower and defense to beat high-tier Servants. They are both even stronger than Minato you mentioned.

Sasuke and especially Hashirama are overrated to hell and back. Defeat High-Tier Servants, my ass.
It's just funny because of the fact that Sasuke and Hashirama would get their asses blown out by the No Name Hassan and wouldn't stand a chance against Richard The Lionheart.
