Now to my final REBURST post:
The villain cucked the MC from getting the final power that his father had, Arkadys. He had the Reshiram Burst and the MC had the Zekrom Burst, with Arkadys you could use whatever burst you wanted, from all types. But this power has a cost: you become a stone statue. So to get it you must defeat the guardian and touch the stone.
The MC defeats the guardian but doesn't touch the statue of his father, being beat by the villain. His first transformation was into samurott, which I found funny and underwhelmed until it was revealed he could change
Into a Golurk and keep changing into different types.
I wonder if there is any relationship with arceus plates or something.
And I can assure you after reading, all bursts were 5th gen pokemon, not a single one from other gens, here is zebstrika.
In the final battle against the villain, the MC literally did the Genkidama eith Goku using all pokemon and human energy to defeat the villain.
They defeat the villain, he becomes a stone statue and that is it.
My overall thoughts on pokemon reburst: this is a shonen battle manga through and through. The pokemon are actually more of a setting dreasing than an important part of the story, you could remove them all and change the bursts and it would happen the same way. Curiously stuff like weakness against certain types still holds true. It is a regular work and if I was a kid maybe I would enjoy it more, but I wish there was more world building (for example they have technologies and use yen as currency (just like normal pokemon games), but there wasn't much beyond that (there is still pokeballs since it was one of the prizes in the contest). In the end the cast got kinda big like the main group having 5 people and some parts get kinda ignored later.
I wish more works like this existed fusioning certain genres with the pikemon world, just imagine a slice of life manga with pokemon in it, what kind of work it would be. Pokemon battle is ok and all but at this point we never had a work that focused on other aspects like pokemon contests or other stuff like that.
6/10. Truly a regular amongst regulars
