Yamcha would look like this if he were a Pokémon Trainer

Many of us do not fully understand how Dragon Ball continues to humiliate poor Yamcha after so many years, especially when he is a model fighter and much more powerful than many imagine, but of course that bitter defeat it still weighs more than its less celebrated victories. Today we see how history repeats itself in this fan art that imagine Yamcha as a Pokémon Trainer

Below you can see this illustration created by the great Wizyakuza that proposes Yamcha as Pokémon Trainer of a Magikarp, which seems unfair to us if he compares this to a creature that is very invalid for combat. However, we refuse to accept this reading and propose another in which both Yamcha as Magikarp are two undervalued and misunderstood beings.

Thus, while everyone mocks Yamcha for lose to a Saibaman

Although he proved to be a great fighter on his own merits, people also mock Magikarp's inability, but he ends up evolving before a Really good and scary Pokémon, Gyarados.

Thus, we invite not judge without having all the informationsince both Yamcha and Magikarp might seem much weaker than they really are, Don't you think?
