>>53253446Well yeah.
If you want an unironic response on the main shippings. Like, the 5 main girls.
Misty - she would eventually devour Ash i a romantic relationship, suck out all of the shounen passion from him and turn him into a boring Tracey-esque type of guy. It would be pretty toxic.
May - taken by Drew. Assuming she isn't. Well I think Ash is too "unsophisticated" for a girl like her. May would eventually feel burdened by Ash and get bored of him.
Dawn - I firmly believe that Dawn is more lesbian leaning, there wouldn't ever really be actual erotic tension between her and Ash.
Iris - Same problem like Misty, she'd try to psychologically dominate over Ash too much until it would just get toxic for both of them.
Serena - this is the only protip answer. When an awesome girl like that is throwing herself at you, you just take it. Serena adores Ash for his ambition which means that she understands his wavelentlgth, what he's all about.
This is awesome for an unironic relationship.
Serena is willing to change for Ash which means she can potentially gain any traits to make herself appealing to Ash. Physcially she is on par with Ash due to her Rhyhorn racing experience. She's also "romantically self aware" enough to navigate the romance thing too. Serena just needs to up her femininity and self confidence to male Ash fall for her. With enough self growth, Serena will learn how to break Ash's "dense pokerface' and get to interact with his "unironic" self.
And last but not least.
Serena's got the Poke, just admit it, she's supah hot. Ash will enjoy her body to the fullest extent.
