Why is Greninja upside down?

Mega Greninja is upside down because it clings to a giant, self-made water shuriken, abandoning stealth for extreme confidence and speed, using the inverted pose to surprise opponents, control the battlefield with its overwhelming power, and deliver swift, unexpected attacks from this unique vantage point. This drastic change from normal ninja behavior shows its total mastery in battle, revealing itself rather than hiding, as explained in this Pokémon Legends: Z-A article and seen in this YouTube video.

Is Ash-Greninja just Mega Greninja?

No, Ash-Greninja is not a Mega Evolution; it's a unique form change in the anime and games triggered by a special bond (Battle Bond) between Ash and Greninja, not a Mega Stone, though it looks and feels similar to one, sharing boosted stats and appearance changes. It's a separate phenomenon, a temporary power-up reflecting their strong connection, distinct from the traditional Mega Evolution requiring a Key Stone and Mega Stone.

What's so special about Ash's Greninja?

Ash's Greninja is special due to its unique "Battle Bond" ability, a rare phenomenon allowing it to transform into the powerful Ash-Greninja form, mirroring Ash's appearance and boosting its stats and move power, unlike standard Mega Evolutions, all powered by an extraordinary trainer-Pokémon connection. This bond manifested visually as a red "striking" aura and made it incredibly strong, even stronger than typical Mega Evolutions in some aspects, without needing a Mega Stone.

Why does Charizard get 2 megas?

Charizard has two Mega Evolutions, X and Y, primarily because it's a hugely popular Pokémon, allowing Game Freak to cater to different fan desires: Mega Y is a natural power-up, while Mega X fulfills the long-requested "dragon" form, giving it a new Fire/Dragon typing and making it a physical attacker.

Ash's Charmander stopped obeying Ash after evolving into Charmeleon (and then Charizard) because it felt Ash was a weak trainer who didn't respect its growing strength, especially after Ash told it to lose a battle to a weak Paras, causing Charmeleon to view Ash as unworthy and leading to its rebellious nature. This stemmed from Charmeleon's pride, a personality shift after evolving, and a perceived lack of respect, contrasting with its initial loyalty as Charmander.
