>>56069765Ash was losing viewers from the first season. Alain didn't even exist until XY.
Ash didn't even know that steel is immune to poison after 30 years of being a trainer. He's been a trainer for 30 years and still doesn't even know the basics. Ash is not an elite trainer and never has been in his entire life, unless we count ICY Ash.
Ash is an idiot with a heart of gold. People loved him for his passion for pokemon. There was never at any point in time where Ash was a genius trainer or where people watched him for being one. Not even in XY, SM, or JN. You don't understand why people liked Ash at all.
You keep coming to these threads and talking about how Ash is this genius trainer when there is literally nothing to back it up and nobody's ever seen him as one either.
You post fanfictions about Ash one shotting everyone, as if anyone's ever been invested in Ash for his ability to win battles instead of his stupid but loveable personality.
You talk about how popular the anime would become if they shipped Ash, a literal 10 year old child, with adults like Lana's mom.
You really, really do not understand why people liked Ash at all.
