>>36889900>Haven't you watched YYH??Have you watched Yu Yu Hakusho ? Yusuke gone from a high school bully to a mature spirit detective that solved a 100 years old Demon world feud. Saying his victory again Toguro and Sensui is plot Armor is like saying Goku going Super Saiyan to defeat Freeza was a plot armor too. Furthermore, even Kuwabara maintained his goofy personality even after his progression as character.
Next you are going to say Goku, Luffy, Inu Yasha, Natsu, Conan, Tyson all never progressed at all. Only XY Ash is the only protagonist that progressed despite failing to win a league for 20 years and his only achievement in the XY series was beating a Rookie.
Ash is by far the most unprogressed protagonist in history. Making him bland does mean he progressed.
>Are you fucking sure you are watching the same anipoke we watch?I am wondering the same question about you! Because Ash stop being coached by Brock and Misty since the Indigo league. You talking about him losing to a Rookie ? XY Ash lost a mock battle again Tierno and real battle against Shota. Ash's Jotho team was still far better and more balance than XY team when you consider Heracross, Cydaquil and Beyleaf. Bryce didn't gave Ash a pity badge, he just gave up because he didn't wanted to push his Pillowine any further.
>And don't forget he just got top 8 losing against a nobody that lost in semifinals. XY Ash was runner up, losing against a deuteragonist who beat 10 E4 level mons. Johto Ash was still fresh and was by mid AG when he started to show experience In Jotho league Ash overcome his long time rival Gary and lost to a trainer with no plot armor. Unlike Kalos league where Ash's biggest achievement was beating Shota again and lose to a trainer with the biggest plot armor because he was Yajima's favorite. League ranking mean nothing mean it depend on luck, Ash could have lost in the first round if he faced Alain in the first round.
