>>28554125>he was 12How is that an excuse for Ash losing when they refuse to EVER let him age?
Also Goku won his first tournament around 150 episodes into the show, won after only three tournaments, made it to the finals in both previous tournaments, and his opponents both had to give literally everything they had to beat Goku, with Chun and Tien both passing out during the respective battles' climaxex. We're 940 episodes into Pokémon, Ash has been to six non-filler tournaments, only made it to the finals once, and even in the most recent battle where he did make it to the finals his Greninja jobbed to a Pokémon he had a type advantage against, with Charizard shrugging off Greninja's special snowflake super attack before OHKO'ing the frog with an attack it resists.
Goku also retains all his power-ups between arcs while Ash reverts to beginner-level after each season.
