>>53784458>The only reason people cared about XY was not because of Ash, but because they made XY Ash into something completely unlike the normal Ash.Completely wrong, the main reason people cared about XY because it had Ash who got himself a girlfriend. If Alain was the protagonist that XY would have flopped even harder than Shadowverse and Serena would have regarded as the worst lead heroine who simps over an edgelord just like Sakura from Naruto.
The very fact you think Alain had an interesting backstory proves that you are the true self inserter since Alain has the WEAKEST motivation for working with Team Flare and act like a self centered jerk.
