>>58645608God you're so fucking retarded. Your autistic ass can only think in logical extremes and refuses to acknowledge any nuance.
No, people don't want a Gary Stu protag who onehits every opponent and becomes champion without breaking a sweat. Literally no one wants that (and Roy isn't like that at all no matter how many times you claim he is). But people ALSO don't want the main character to be a literal eternal jobber who is FORCED to lose over and over again even after DECADES of experience, like Ash. I know you worship Ash like he's God, but surely you do understand that the writers repeatedly made Ash lose all important battle ON PURPOSE because they wrote themselves in a corner, right? His goal was to become a champion, which would end his journey. So they had to keep making him lose to keep the series going. They didn't think "it would be interesting if Ash lost this fight", they thought "shit, we need another season, so we have to make him lose this battle again no matter what". But this got increasingly ridiculous as time went on because he's had well over 10 years worth of experience and still lost to LITERAL OCs like Alain. But somehow this doesn't bother you because it's Ash so it's ok. Instead you get mad at characters who aren't forced to lose constantly because you got so used to Mr. Jobber that you can't fathom a character having a minor success after 1 year of training instead of 10 or 20 years. In truth you are mad at Roy because he's doing what you wish Ash was doing. Except it would be totally justified if Ash destroyed Nemona because "hurr 20 years of experience", but of course it would ALSO be justified if Ash lost because "hurr she's le champion". Your precious little Ash just can't do anything wrong.
