>>47977344Ash should be a wildly famous trainer given all of the famous figures he's gained the respect of, all of his achievements and all of his very public participations in League Conferences. People tend to make out his performance in Conferences to be shit but Ash has an insane record consistently hitting the Top 8 in every region at minimum when there are only five trainers officially recognised as superior to a Conference Winner.
You'd expect Ash to have fans. You'd expect to see and hear Ash has these middle-aged fanboys who are fathers rooting for this upcoming prodigy with a crazy record. You'd expect for him to have a damn Trainer Trading Card based off him being sold out in stores everywhere, him serving as a massive inspiration to kids his own age wanting to become incredible trainers.
Instead he just casually saves the world, has a ridiculous competitive record, has a Frontier Brain slot, has defeated legendaries and mythicals in front of massive audiences, is seemingly pretty rich, has ridiculously rare pokemon, is the Alolan Champion, defeated the Unovan Champion, is in the Hyper Class, has connections with some of the biggest Pokemon figures in the entire world and is the favoured trainer of Professor motherfucking Oak, the biggest dicked Professor in the world and this little prodigious motherfucker is practically unknown.
Do people in Pokemon just have the memory of goldfish? What the fuck is in the drinking water?. Is Uxie popping on camera every month or so to wipe the world's memories? What in the goddamn.
