Anyone notice the anime uses the exact same patterns every time?
>If Ash gets a Fire Starter, he will always rescue it from a dickbag trainer. Charmander was saved from a trainer who left him to die, Chimchar was released by the douche rival, and literally the same thing for Tepig as Charmander
Before you say Cyndaquil, the trainer Ash was competing against to catch him was a dick, it counts.
>If any of the main characters has a particularly strong pokemon, it will always be a defiant asshole for a good long time, rendering them mostly unusuable. See Charizard, Dragonite, and Excadrill
>The Water Starter usually has some kind of quirk
>The Grass starter is usually stubborn
>Ash will NEVER win the League and the anime will go to great lengths to make sure it stays that way, including inexplicably throwing legendaries at him
