>>47706876I more or less follow the timeline but I avoid Misty the Tsundere joining me but I definitely get Brock as my best bro. Brock is the BEST of Ash's companions and the only one who really felt like Ash's genuine friend.
I'd get Giselle to join me and Brock instead of Misty and try to stick with the three of them together for as long as possible - Brock stays with Ash up until the end of Sinnoh so it's a matter of how the relationship of Giselle and I would play out considering she's also aiming for all that Pokemon League stuff.
