>>53530900>Ash has been nu-Ash since BW,Arguably even as far back as Johto or AG. Shudo’s Ash was a snarky lil asshole (that’s why he always had the best and most entertaining chemistry with Misty and Brock and to date bounced off them so well) but then they softened up his edges and simply turned him into another big-standard “dumb/naive and pure Shonen Protag.”
>>53531223>So Pikachu won the Ashbowl?Memes aside, I have just discovered that this apparently exists and is official material… This is the first time Ash has ever so blatantly INITIATED what is clearly supposed to be a romantic display of affection… (cheek kisses have always been coded like that in the anime, plus Goh’s blushing)
And with fucking GOH of all people! Literally nothing but a walking advertisement shill that’s reflected even in his name.
I’m not sure how to feel about… I wasn’t expecting this…
