Again, go back an reducate yourself. His only real truly interesting dynamic was Paul, which didn't pop up often, while stuff with Dawn and Angie was nothing more than the usual shipper autism. Most of Ash's screentime was him talking about generically getting "motto motto".
>"Things to discuss" Was true even during the XYfag and SMfag eras, hence why it was so active here and why the former series started /padt/ in the first place. AG Ash remains the best on by far, with OS right behind it everything after has been a dry or flanderized mess. There's a reason people loved the recent Misty episode so much. He was more entertaining there than he was the entirety of DP, BW, and XY's runs.
