>>53366750Main characters generally aren't meant to look as flashy as their antagonists, for relatability's sake I think. Ash is a jazzed up Red. His OS outfit may have been normal clothes but the composition was fairly elaborate and Sugimori-ish. Some of his later outfits though that are pretty much lifted from later games, like SM Ash? Couldn't agree more, did him zero favors, even as an everyman adventure kid.
