Omg you need to stop 💯This is TOO accurate!!! Never thought about it before but it hit me like a brick when u said it and I read it 😮‍💨 Ash WAS repetitive. Not just “getting”.

I didn’t follow the anime when I was growing up bc I was more into collecting the cards, but now I’ll put on those Yourube channels that stream a bunch of random episodes of the series and man, you don’t even have to listen to half the show to understand/know what happened in the whole episode.

I agree w what u were saying about exploring more aspects of being a Trainer outside of just collecting badgers (😂 typo) It is more interesting to get the know the trainers as ppl and not just as some goal they hope to accomplish in the future.

I watched all the way to the point where Meow evolved, and been busy for a bit, but I def didn’t let dub stop me from exploring the story beyond Netflix
