>>36265641However Anakin suffered the consequence of his mistake while Alain got away with everything and forced Ash to take responsibility of his mistake.
>but he was in the darkest place of his arc at that timeThere was no darkest place! There was no trauma , reason and decent backstory for Alain to become Lysandre's pet.
He just decide to become a jackass that hurt his friend because Lysandre told him about this invisible villain that threaten Kalos even though he never met them, He talks about protecting Manon even though he was the one that made her suffer.
There is no excuse, Alain was just poor handled self inserted gary stu with wooden personality that receive favoritism from based Director and spend the entire series as a follower. First he followed Lysandre without question and then start following Ash when Lysandre turn out to be invisible villain that threatened Kalos.
>I don't think there's any reason to consider Alain a self-insert,Let see, Alain lost to only one trainer in the entire series and it was an E4 member. He battled nine random trainer and he is now E4 level while Ash is still a regular trainer despite despite defeating legendary and mega evolved pokemon with regular pokemon. He gets a team of super strong pokemon including two Pseudo Legendary pokemon despite training only one pokemon while Ash couldn't keep Goodra for five episode.
The XY series ended with Alain getting everything he wanted for free no matter the consequence. Anybody can see him as a self inserted character except Amourshipper and XYfags that just trying desperately to defend him for Serena.
