>>53504526they kept making ash job because they wanted to keep dragging ash on if no one bitched as hard as they did about ash jobbing in kalos we wouldn't be having this finale shitfest ash would've lost in alola, ash would've lost in galar, ash would probably fucking job in paldea, but people were getting sick of ash's constant jobbing and for all the hype they gave him in XY they fumbled it, and then halfassed it for SM, and then double downed on it for JN. Now that he's become a world champ they don't want to keep using him as jobberbait because it would make all of JN a joke unless Ash was jobbing to an actual villian or something instead of some donut steel with a delta species krabby or some shit
