>>36073805No. I remember ash being a fucking n00b.
He fell asleep on THE day he was supposed to get his first pokemon and missed out on getting a cool starter. Then he got repeatedly cucked by the ~lvl3 pikachu Oak got him. I remember him struggling with even the most basic trainer shit like catching low lvl pokemons on route 1. And of course he somehow kepting losing his way and going on millions of pointless detours between towns.
It was always shit.
