>>50530800>>he took the Alain/Manon shitposting seriouslyThere would be any if the anime didn't push it so hard. Plus Ash is not ending up with anybody anyway so having an older girl as a love interest would not hurt. It would be funnier to see the reaction of Ash's other love interest whenever she proves herself as Ash's ideal woman.
Imagine if Ash had a crush on Lana's mom and consistently compare other girl with her.
