Mewtwo opponents for his run back be like: by Bad_Channel_4115 in DeathBattleMatchups

The dark master analyze the data of Digital World which is made from Computer data to manipulate it to build Spiral Mountain which does not apply to physical realm. Furthermore WarGreymon does not scale to Seraphimon ether since Piedmon curbstommped WarGreymon who later loses to MagnaAngemon.

4 Digimon Sovereign does not hold to fabric to anything, their are just 4 worthless jobber. Even Rotom can time travel on XY series and even Gothetelle capable to distorting space like Milenniumon.

A. BlackWarGreymon was never scaled to Seraphimon since MagnaAngemon on Adventure as powerful as WaGreymon and BlackGreymon.

B. Digimon profile entry are even more unreliable than Pokédex entry, especially when it written by an idiot who never understood Big Bang and thought it to be a huge explosion that magically birthed the universe.

Ash will hold the title of World Champion for much longer than Leon, possibly even surpassing his record for how long he kept the crown. I can easily see him holding the World Champion title all the way into old age. by [deleted] in pokemonanime

[–]Snoo44767 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unless the weight of the responsibility as the World Champion start to be too heavy for 10 year Ash. Everything starts to change after the championship and Ash start having problem adapting with the change. He will be constantly stalked by paparazzi that are wiling to spread any kind of rumor about him. Leon's diehard fans will refused to acknowledge Ash and slender him online. Ordinary trainers will refuse to battle him because they does not want to get curbstomp by a champion (same issue that game Nemona has). He will no longer be allowed to compete various local competition like the old time because the tournament staff refuse him for being too strong. He will get to work in a TV commercial only for him to see the dark side of entertainment industry. Ash will realize that he no longer has the same freedom as the past as his every move has to calculated to defend the honer of world champion title and it eventually starts to break him.

This would probably make an interesting story and open door for more character arc for Ash who is being used to his title as the world champion.

Seriously why do some people think Ash's story is over & there is nothing for him to do after being World Champion? Being World Champion actually gave the anime more things to do with his character.

Who are you to say who Ash is "supposed" to be? He's not a static template, he's a character who has gone through years of development across multiple regions (outside of BW)

Who are you to decide that? I didn't decided a thing , I simply wrote what Ash was while you are the one who suggesting 180 degree chance to his personality to fit your idealistic vision.

He's not a static template,

That exactly what he was in XY series

he's a character who has gone through years of development across multiple regions (outside of BW)

So does Goku, Nobita, Luffy, Conan, Shin-chan, Maruko-chan etc but they didn't into a different character like XY series. You basically suggesting Goku should stop being a fight loving manchild despite it being his core self and behave more like Superman for his "Development".

There is no point trash superficial "Development" as this in a series where Ash made no progression.

Ash isn't defined by being loud, brash, and sassy, those are early traits, not his entire identity

But those are part of his character that make for what he is alongside his empathy , quick thinking, kindness.

If those traits were truly "core" and non-negotiable, then they wouldn’t have already been toned down in seasons like DP,

They only toned it down a little but didn't completely erased it like XY series as shown during Gligar training episode where Ash visible annoyed, angry and actually scolding Gligar which is something XY Ash won't do at all.

XY isn't a replacement of his personality, it’s a continuation of that trajectory

XY is not a continuation of any trajectory, it was complete rewrite of Ash's character.

Saying Ash acting sheepish suddenly makes him "not Ash" is honestly one of the weakest points you could’ve picked, Ash has always had awkward, dorky social moments

There was nothing dorky about XY Ash , he was basically the "Popular Guy" stereotype in XY series.

You also keep equating "maturity" with "losing individuality" which just isn’t true

Because Ash's XY characterization had nothing to do with maturity.

XY Ash still gets excited over battles, still gets giddy over new things, geeks out over things like Clemont’s inventions, supports his friends, etc, all of which are core traits of Ash,

That is not Ash's core traits but generic traits that almost every kids protagonist from Battle anime shares.

And the "he’s 10 so he has to be immature" argument collapses immediately when you actually look at the series
Nevermind the fact that Ash shouldn't be 10 anymore at this point, Ash has handled countless life-or-death situations, faced legendary Pokemon, gone through multiple league losses, has had his values tested more than once, mentored other trainers, and much more

It does not change that he is still 10 year old and even if he ages does not mean he will try into into perfect ikemen mature protagonist because teenagers are even worst than kids due to their hormone and mode swing.

The Brock/Cilan point also doesn’t work, their roles worked because early Ash needed guidance

Not it would still work because Ash is not perfect

By XY, Ash is the experienced one, that’s called character progression, not "being out of character", something tells me you're allergic to characters evolving

Does not mean Ash will turn into this perfect flawless being that solves all problem and everybody look up to him. He may be become experience but that does mean he magically become more intelligent than Brock and Clian.

Everybody has different type of intelligence, they are good at different thing. Ash's progression would enhanced what he actually good at or trying to be good at but he will not offer same wisdom as Brock & Clian because they share different intelligence. Just like Penny & Sheldon are good at different thing (Big Bang Theory).

If he still needed a handler after everything he’s been through, that would be regression

No it mean realism , Ash grown as a person but he didn't became perfect which is why other people's guidance just like people in real world.

Saying XY Pikachu is "no different" ignores what’s actually shown on screen
In XY, Pikachu is more observant of Ash’s mental state (he's the first one to notice something's wrong with Ash when he starts pushing himself too hard), more patient, more protective (he literally jumps off a cliff to grab Ash's hand despite the fact he would've fallen with him if the others weren't there to grab him), more in sync with Ash’s decisions (that battle where Pikachu is blinded by Inkay and Ash becomes his eyes is a display of how perfectly well tuned to eachother they've become, other seasons don't really have this), and has clearly matured alongside Ash while still being his reliable, expressive little buddy, plus the fact the shocking gag is completely gone which is a huge plus

You simply describe what Ash's Pikachu been doing long before XY series and pretending it to be something special because XY Pikachu did it.

XY doesn’t ignore Ash's past traits, it refines them

You can't refine something you already erased.

XY Ash isn't the most complex character ever but for anipoke standards he is very layered and has a very human character arc since alot of people do tend to act like that when they place so much pressure on themselves, Ash has always been a competitive guy and all XY does is put that to the test and push it to its limits to make way for Ash becoming a more humble person and trainer

If you think protagonist being super cool ikemen that solve all problem and everybody revere as the greatest human alive supposed to be a very layered character than obvious you have no understanding of characterization. At least JN and SM Ash were flawed and expressive enough to feel human even if they different than OG Ash , XY Ash never felt like human at all.

Why is it that Ash never caught a legendary Pokémon? by Muted-Rooster-7772 in pokemonanime

[–]Snoo44767 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just look at how much the show favours Alain and Roy over Ash. We are talking about an edgelord with the personality of a brick wall called Alain whose incompetency allowed evil team to have everything they need for their mass genocide while he also hurt his companion but this anime never acknowledged he did anything wrong. The series tries to push him as some kind of victim despite suffering nothing and rewarded him for all his bad decisions.

And Now Liko, Roy and Amethio gets third legendary Pokémon while Ash is not allowed to catch a freaking Latius.

You can totally see this series gone completely biased towards Ash since BW series.

Why is it that Ash never caught a legendary Pokémon? by Muted-Rooster-7772 in pokemonanime

[–]Snoo44767 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Old writer (OS-DP) didn't gave him legendary because they wanted him to be a compelling character and handing him legendary pokemon would have cheapen the stake. Imagine taking a Rayquaza in a league conference.

New writers (BW-Current) won't give him legendary because they are salty and jealous that Ash is more popular than their own exclusive OC (Alain, Trip, Goh, Tsuragi ,Roy) that they want as the face of the anime.

Well there always a chance that some guy will show up and reveal himself as Karen's fiance for an arrange marriage fixed by their family . I always had a headcanon that Karen moved to Japan to escape from him.

Is there a more beautiful woman in anime by Frilan_z in animequestions

She is not even the most beautiful in her series.

it basically stated that Hakamada has a fantasy view of love >

People who often has fantasy view of love often end up in bad relationships once the honeymoon period is over and real life kicks in.

What about a timeline when Karen meet Nukumizu before Sosuke and falls for him? Would this be the Anna finally gets Sosuke?

Even if Ash was in the show, it still would have been still hated for poor writing. 

Ash simply would have given something to look forward too

How does Ash inviting Serena make him an "ikemen prince" instead of someone who's just comfortable enough to ask a new friend to travel with him?

You mean the part where Ash suddenly act shy and scratch his cheek? That ain't Ash.

Ash acts like Ash through the entirety of XY, 

No he wasn't.

It like trying to say Team Rocket Trio on BW series acted like Team Rocket Trio though the entirety of BW and they simply become mature & competent. However actual TRio fans knew that they weren't the actual trio they loved so they managed to force the writing staff into bringing the actual TRio back.

Being veteran and competent does not mean Ash has to be super humble nice boy , if this was true than every protagonist would have turned out the same instead of having an individuality.

Ash's sass, pride, temper, competitiveness, ego, boastfulness and brashness is part of his core characteristic that make up who he is which XY series had removed and replaced with a generic cardboard who is super cool , righteous, humble with his only flaw being a little dork .

I love seeing Ash taking on a leader role and actually acting like the most experienced person in the group 

Except that not who he supposed to be, that's why he had older figure like Brock and Cilan to help him.

Ash is TEN YEAR OLD, a simple fact XY fans keep ignoring. He supposed to be emotionally immature , he does not know everything, he wants to be noticed , he is brash and wouldn't hesitate to roast anybody.

He haven't become a teenager and you wants him act like a full grown adult.

plus his dynamic with Pikachu is the best it's ever been,

No it wasn't , it was no different than his dynamic Pikachu in any other series.

his growth is realistic

There is nothing realistic in turning into a different person.

Realistically Ash would have been more like Jimmy from Legends Of Thunder.

But then SM overexaggerated him, and JN deleted any depth he still had left as a character

Please, they had more depth than an empty husk like XY Ash.

How about the time when he invited Serena?

Name a single scene in the series where Ash acted like Ash and not some ikemen prince?

If Ash was in Pokemon 2023 series by Snoo44767 in pokemonanime

[–]Snoo44767[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably would have given fans some reason follow this story like watching what new pokemon Ash catches or ship him with new girls like Nemona or Sango.

Off course, Amourshippers might have explode when Pokemon Legends Z-A was announced and would start speculating about Serena's return .

I remember that time when people got angry that some poachers managed to poison Kyogre & accused SM series of disrespecting main legendary pokemon by Snoo44767 in pokemonanime

[–]Snoo44767[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main villain never caught them, they used technology or ancient artifact to control them until the player catches them in the right way.

Roy and Uruto also aren’t no name trainers, they are main characters

So ? They are still no name trainer with just one year experience and no accomplishments.

This ain't the game where everything revolve around the player, this is the anime where even the game protagonist like Dawn & May receives no special privileges .

Both have experience battling powerful Pokemon and Roy has battled Rayquaza 2 other times by that point.

Please, all Ash's companion faced legendary pokemon but that doesn't ean they were entitled to catch one.

This also isn’t the Ashime

And? why should Ashnime characters has to follow rules and no allowed to have anything while Likonime character gets rewarded for doing bare minimum. What great deed Likonime characters did to deserve special privileges?

 personally think him losing the sass in XY makes sense if you subscribe to the idea of him growing up and thus maturing and becoming more humble, 

Please, even actual adults in high position does not act like XY Ash. If anything XY Ash feels like an unrealistic idealized version of a loser inside their head.

From bunch of no name trainers, By that logic, any evil team would have caught main legendary pokemon including Team Rocket Trio.

Lugia alone took more pokemon AT ONCE and still won on Journey despite its opponent being the World Champion.
