Must be how after all these years he's still a bit whiny


i doubt most of the people who watched the anime when they were children (because everyone did) and stopped watching when they grew up have much of a problem with ash, though.

perhaps die hard fans of the anime who are still watching hate him now, but it seems wrong to extrapolate that to "everyone."

Nah, most viewers who quit the anime do not have a favorable view of Ash.

I again suggest you read my essay in my sig.

A 500 vote barrier is not beatable without rallies nowaday.
This has been the same for every close match so far, at least.

True, but he was able to close on the lead 149 votes in under two hours
This still wouldn't be enough, but it would be close

If Sora starts being consistent from here on out, he can make it a close match

And Pokemon never wins close matches

Pokemon has a neverending story where the protagonist, instead of learning from his loses and training to become stronger and win the tournament next year, gives up, goes to another region to start over with new pokemon, and dumps all of his old pokemon on Professor Oak.

It's like a fake reboot system.

It's meant so people outgrow the show eventually, stop watching, and are replaced by new kiddies.

It's a viable system fiancially, but it could be done much better, like in Digimon and Yugioh, where they actually end the main story and replace the cast when a season ends.

Ash losing by itself is not the problem, Ash losing because of hax is
Kanto had Charizard not listening, Sinnoh had LOL LEGENDARIES, Unova was probably the worst with losing a 5vs6 Pokemon fight, and Kalos had that horrible Ash-Greninjna losing even with massive type advantage and everything going in Ash favor, inculding even being "The last regular Pokemon League" before we went into the terrible s***fest that is Sun and Moon anime
Losing to Harrison in Johto and Tyson in Hoenn were fine, though (even with the gimmicks of Gen 3 Pokemon and Meowth in boots)

I didn't like Ash when I was a kid and I don't like him now. He's kind of stupid. I didn't like Gary either but you're not supposed to like him.

I always liked Ash. I always saw him as a cool trainer when I was a kid.

One time, I was in Kindergarden and secretly stole one of the foamy pieces we used to play with since it resembled a Gym badge and brought it to my house so I could pretend I "earned" it. A day or so later, the teacher called my parents to see if I knew where it was and I smiled at them and said 'Yes'.

My biggest shock was finding out the anime was still relevant past the 3rd Gen (I stopped watching after the Johto League), especially within the ones who started out with the first season and still watched it when already grown up. The show was always supposed to be aimed towards children, so it didn't make sense to me that older people complained about it. I tried giving it a shot (while also bringing my brother up with me), watching some random XYZ episodes, namely Frogadier's and Flabébé's, and it was nice but not really enough to hook me up like any other show would.

The only thing I was a fan of was Ash vs. Paul when I watched it on Youtube. That thing was one of the most epic things I had seen in any anime.

When I had the chance to finally replay Pokémon for the first time in 15 years, I tried giving the anime a shot starting with the first season, and even when I had a rush of nostalgia, I still found it a little too kiddy and random, so I stopped. The only thing I'm interested in is the Mewtwo movie (haven't watched that thing in forever now).
Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8.
I liked Ash until I realized they'll reset how smart he is in every arc

and he still can't win a Pokemon League that's exists in the video games

I wished Ash did a better job in trying to catch them all. One of my favourite part in Black/White was that he had a rotating team, though even that quickly turned into Pikachu/Starters/Scraggy + 1 rotating Pokemon.

I understand giving them enough screen time might be an issue, but having 12-15 Pokemon could work, especially if you make a couple already strong (like Snorlax) so they don't need as much training and only need to show up every now and then in non-gym/league episodes.

They need to have an arc where Ash wins because of BS. That way it mixes up what we’ve gone through so many times, but also gives him a reason to go to another League, to prove to himself and everybody that he can win without the benefit of a fluke.
If all else fails use fire.

The anime is very..inconsistent
There are some episodes that I would recommend to every (like the Ash vs Paul you mentioned, but most Paul episodes can work as well) and some of them are super damn kiddy that it hurt me to watch them
Thing is, I usually watched them will doing something else, most of the time Pokemon-related like soft resetting for a good nature legendary, or filling the dex, or hunting for a shiny or something like that, hatching eggs etc
So it didn't really feel like a waste of time

But the Sun and Moon anime? no thank you
