>>38536809>XY Ash is boring that doesn't make jimmy less boringExcept Jimmy in one episode had more personality than XY Ash had in the entire series. He was basically the older teenage version of OS Ash.
>I can list XY Ash's positive traits from his experienceI can do the same with BW & S/M Ash but it will not prove ether one of them as a good protagonist. Both BW and S/M Ash had shown ingenuity and the ability to bring out the best of his group and earn their respect.
You are just mentioning the one trait that all Ash shares and treating to be special because XY Ash did it. The same way you try to defend Serena by mentioning common traits that all lead girl share and treating it like a special thing because Serena did it.
>Because XY Ash is fleshed out character.XY Ash was a bland generic piece of cupboard. There is a reason why Japanese kids enjoyed Keita way more than XY Ash.
