>>55607603What did Goku do when he wanted to beat someone? He passionately trained, trained, and trained some more, dedicating himself to his training.
What did Ash do when he wanted to beat someone in gen 1? He dispassionately sent out Charizard or a supercharged Pikachu, dedicating himself to relying on handouts like a girl.
Even Liko is more like Goku than Ash, because at least Liko actually trains. Ash is a bigger girl than Liko, no wonder boys never gave a dam about him and instead watched Goku.
Heck, we're even getting an entire arc dedicated to training for Liko and Roy right now. Ash never had that and always just got handouts for existing. Even in JN he was a princess who got rewarded for existing and we're told the world owed him the world championship.
