Ash had an easy run through the Battle Frontier compared to the challenge of the games. He never had to battle dozens of Trainers to earn the right to challenge the Frontier Brains. He didn’t have to adhere to the unique rules of the Frontier Brains’ respective battle facilities. The anime’s substitutes for these rules, if any, rarely offered a similar level of challenge. He also didn’t have to challenge each Brain once for the Silver Symbol and again for the Gold Symbol; he automatically received the latter upon winning. Most importantly, he rarely had to fight a Frontier Brain with their in-game team, especially if they involved Legendary Pokémon.The anime’s lack of faithfulness means Ash never had to battle Pyramid King Brandon with his best team. The Frontier Brain had all three Legendary titans, but he never made Ash battle more than one of them to earn his Symbol. This might have been for the best since battling even one Legendary Pokémon is a tall order in the anime. Ash could probably do it now with the right team, but back then, he just needed the chance to wrap up his Battle Frontier challenge by the end of the season. That said, Ash facing the Pyramid King with his complete team of golems could have made for an epic episode, maybe a multi-partner. Now that Ash is more experienced and has new Pokémon, he might be able to handle the challenge.Ash’s first battle against Brandon was far from an ideal match. For one thing, he was unwittingly possessed by the King of Pokélantis, who battled the Frontier Brain’s Regirock in a one-on-one battle. Ash and the King made a wise choice with Sceptile, the Hoenn equivalent to his Charizard, but it wasn’t enough. Sceptile’s Grass attacks couldn’t break through Regirock’s Iron Defense, which works like Protect in the anime. The King’s dirty tactics almost worked, but Brandon ultimately won with one well-placed Hyper Beam. Even if Ash were in his right mind, he might not have won that battle.RELATED: Pokémon Horizons Should Have Started In Paldea Instead
