@HurricaneKishor@ZzBootyPopperz@AshSatoshi4ever The MC's writing quality was not even the point here broski.
The point was Bakugan, Beyblade, Yu-gi-oh, and Digimon MCs at least aged. The PKMN anime, despite being the bigger and popular one, ALWAYS REFUSED age Ash even by a fkng year, which hurt immersion and reputation
@HurricaneKishor@ZzBootyPopperz@AshSatoshi4ever PKMN's focus are those as well...
Another example of the same category: Digimon has 500+ episodes, yet the MCs also age here.
Pokémon is the only stubborn series to keep the MC same out of its rivals.
So no, u didn't prove anything.
@AshSatoshi4ever@Naturalee27@MDDix0n Sorry, him making 20 meme faces per episode made me emotionally disconnected from him. Again, should've been balanced. It's also hard for me to take him serious with that atrocious design, no sakuga can save that for me. The designs from M21 & M22 would've been better.
@ZzBootyPopperz@HurricaneKishor@AshSatoshi4ever Never got why the higher-ups had this belief that Ash wins a league=no more story. They already established that there's more after the league. Had he won the Kalos league, and then lost to E4, the transition to SM would feel less jarring.
@ZzBootyPopperz@HurricaneKishor@AshSatoshi4ever Pikachu sure enough took out 2 pseudo-legendaries. Since you wanna be canonical, Pikachu's level resetting has already been a long-running trend. Ur point?
@DudeGlorious12@AshSatoshi4ever Yeah, it's funny because the very series literally starts with Satoshi arriving in Kalos with a recurring character and Pikachu that retains its moveset from the previous series.
Yet somehow, only Dawn's Piplup gets referenced.
@AshSatoshi4ever@Naturalee27@MDDix0n As a trainer yes, tho I do wish his character was maintained well. His overly goofy side got maxed out which made me emotionally disconnect from him as a character. Not saying he should be 100% serious all the time, just that the 2 sides should've been balanced like in XY.
@Zactoshii Genuinely good and fun series, top-notch animation too. Just wish the art style wasn't completely simplified (could use the M21 and M22 art style) and Satoshi's character stayed the same from XY.
