No he sucks and unlearns everything when moving to a new generation.
Pikachu also seems to un-level

I did until I became a hipster edgy tween, and then I grew up and realized he's good but I'm too old for this show's demographic and it's not my business anymore to criticize

It annoys me how garbage he is.
They really should have a series where the actual pokemon are the main characters. I might actually watch that.

I would unironically preferred Gary being the main character.

Imagine if Kanto-Johto was from Gary's perspective then followed Ash. Would have been based as fuck imo

Ash is a low quality character for that reason, to be a blank state for the audience to insert.

Yes, I love how his name alone can trigger a bunch of special-snowflakes and PokeSpe fags.

Though as a kid I hated him to be honest, then I grew up and realized that there's nothing wrong with a happy kid as a MC and that even if his personality is one of the most basic archetypes is better than trying to make him "unique" like Kusaka does.

I like the reboot Ash from the I Choose You and the Power of Us movies waaaaaaay more than the standard Ash.

He got way more independent and capable from all the time he spent journeying without two gym leaders holding his hand.

Yeah I know he teamed up with those two Sinnoh kids but they only teamed up for a short period of time to realize their common goal of seeing Ho-oh. That's a cool dynamic between aspiring Pokémon trainers and I think more temporary partnerships like that are really beneficial.

How can anybody possibly love a singular protagonist for this long? We're not talking about a weekly comedy or something like Conan. This has been the same guy who basically resets every 3-4 years and has wild swings in personality and competence

Man, it's almost like people enjoy different things and have their own personal taste.

>that constantly fail at their goals
How about you do some research instead of being a whiny faggot that feels superior for insulting a fictional ten years old?
Did you forget all the times that Bart learned something just to forget it thanks to Status Quo?
One More Day?
All the times that Charlie was mocked and was used as a punching bag?

But whatever, I won't bother with you anymore since you clearly hate the fact that someone likes something you hate.

He doesn’t experience real character growth, so no
Other children’s shows have had characters that actually grew or if they didn’t really age each episode was centered around a moral lesson

Nope, not really, even in gen1 I did not like him very much and found him to be kinda annoying, but I am liking the Alolan RetardAsh. At least it's something different, even if we're still stuck with the same piece of shit Pikafuck. In all honesty Ash is at the very bottom of things on my list of reasons to watch pokemon for, but still above Pikachu. Fuck that pokemon, I hated the whole thing since day 1

But honestly just give him some good pokemons for once

Not really
The gimmick is that he never ages for the core audience
But some want to see Ash really win y'know? Being stuck with him as young-uns
I like many prefer is XY appearance, he's a lot more mature, etc
He doesn't go on and on about bullshit, he gets over shit
The main problem is Japan, they have this "culture" of not wanting to let things go, as well as their shitty repetitive humor
In the case of XY "Wow science is so amazing" gag every episode
At least that's how I see it
On that note, I can't bear his fucking voice

Only time I genuinely liked him was during X and Y. I wish they'd pull a Red storyline type of thing with him where he becomes basically a season veteran and people come to challenge him to prove their worth.

In terms of filling the role of protagonist of a long-running anime series, he does perfectly well. The Alola series has been doing him well, just like how it seems to do most shit really well.
