>>16595533Well the difference is BW Ash was a complete moron so it makes sense that he needed someone to shittalk him all the way through Best Wishes... and it still didn't help because he lost league to an even bigger retard.
Meanwhile XY Ash is surprisingly competent so it's also not at all strange for him to have a fangirl, sidekick and loli following him around. I watched BW mostly for delicious Iris, now I'm actually watching XY for Ash because I feel like he can accomplish something for a change (and even if he doesn't I won't be disappointed because he's putting some serious effort into it this time).
