>>51842491>Iris disliking school was never part of her characterYes, it was, did you even watch the show?
>she just had one bad experiencedYes, the experience of being in a school, which might change if she was in a school like the one in Alola, but the school you are talking about is one she wouldn't like.
>Pokemon is slice of life anime on a floating timeline that you still don't understandWhat part of the characters in said floating timeline have been shown to grow and change do you still not understand?
>Its like saying Ataru from Urusei Yatsura and City Hunter should grow out of their perverseness, Nobita from Doreamon should stop being lazy, Shinchan from Shinchan from Crayon Shinchan should behave like a good boy!There are static and dynamic characters in all types of stories, and a protagonist can be either depending on the individual story. A floating timeline can have a main character be either static or dynamic.
>Ash being a bad trainer was never a part of his personalityI never said him being a bad trainer was a part of his personality, only that it was a part of his character which it definitely was.
>simply lacked knowledgeNo, he didn't, the time period before the Kanto league showed that he was lazy and didn't bother training his pokemon, which isn't a result of lacking knowledge it was a character flaw of his that he overcame after his loss to Ritchie. An example of dynamic character growth from Ash.
>However he being dimwitted and denseAre traits, as were his laziness in OS and his arrogance in AG which he overcame, so there is no reason to say he couldn't grow out of the ones you mentioned.
>Team Rocket and Brock haven't change at allBlatantly false, just look at how they were portrayed in their initial episodes and how they are in the latest episodes they were in.
>people consider them to be the best characterWell-executed static characters don't disqualify the implementation of dynamic characters. (1/2)
