>>52583919>He's felt off for many years now but this is a new low-- legitimate CONFUSION that his friend would be sad about parting ways... When HE HIMSELF was incredibly saddened over leaving Brock and Misty.Hmm ya know I think the writing is kind of weird but in a different avenue.
>Tracey and Misty keep in contact with each other. Also Misty is only two cities over when visiting her.>Lana and Misty wanted to keep in contact with each other so they sent each other written letters, sometimes with gifts. Also Lana has a stable mailing address.>Misty tried to keep in contact with Ash, mostly showing up in person or having someone else like Oak deliver a gift (the fishing lure) for her. One can only assume she started having less and less time to do such traveling.>Logically would assume that if Tracey can keep in contact with her, Brock and Misty keep in touch with each other as they are only a city away from each other.Hmm
>Ash is now in a modern age where it seems everyone has rotom phones. So keeping in touch with people should be really easy. As you don't have to worry about finding exactly where they are now if you are making a trip somewhere, or trying to triangulate where that person will be to send mail to them ahead of time.
>He doesn't seem to keep in contact with his older friends despite having a rotom phone which makes it far easier than its ever been.Maybe I am wrong or misremembering something, but did Ash, before rotom phones were even a thing, try to keep in touch with his friends?
