>>40361198>why greninjaI can give you 2 explanation. 1) it's because Ash always had an Ace pokémon through generations which isn't pikachu because that it's more like "shouldermon". 2) it was the starter of 6th gen so of course the writers had to write some special bond with them, and it worked. Also there is a third, greninja is an humanoid, so giving him a shape which remembers Ash was easier and less odd.
>pikachu is OPI don't want to deny, his pikachu is pretty strong and experienced, the problem is that when the plots want, it become useless and weak, which is stupid.
>Ash gets the pokédex because yesThanks for proving my point
>it didn't just happened randomlyI didn't say that. I said that he gets to rockruff and its story thanks to Kukui recommendations (like staying in the same house).
>They helped her because she is her friend and they care for herYou're saying my same thing, but in more detail. If you're helping someone is because he/she needs help, even if he/she doesn't ask for it. She accepts their help because of friendship and trust, even decided to go alone with her brother rather than calling some other competent
trainer. As the anime shows, it looks like there aren't competent trainers at all...
>The fact is that Ash regularly trains with his pokemonAnd this is something i already said, "passing little times in training". Because yeah they show him training, but like something external to the show and episode. I was not excluding at all that he was training, but not like in the other seasons.
>Whether he does it with a thousand different trainers or just one doesn't make any differenceYes it makes difference. You have to face and be prepared to numbers of strategies, type combinations and moves that trainers can use. Indeed in the last episode we hear Ash saying "ah yes steel type are immune to poison moves!"
