>>56133178Define Ash.
His character arc was inconsistent and his skills as a trainer were fluctuating.
Kanto-Orange League-Johto Ash was inexperienced but had quite a few moments of out of box thinking and combination of guts and stupidity so common among 90s shonen protagonists.
Hoenn Ash was confused.
Sinnoh Ash still had his creativity but mixed with more battle experience.
Unova Ash can go fuck himself.
Kalos Ash had the most "skill" as a trainer but really lacked his youngful energy.
Alola Ash was reverse of Kalos.
Galar/M8 Ash was abomination haphazardly trying to give closure to his arc while not acknowledging any good parts about Ash. This could be great time to give his old mons last chance to show themselves and have some shoutouts to Ash's greatest moments but instead we got bunch of literally who mons in meh sauce.
