>>44653610The anime over time has become a hot mess since they insist on acknowledging continuity while also breaking shit so Ash can repeatedly start over. That being said, I prefer the left. That Ash is an Ash who is still an up-and-comer who you can more reasonably write off his follies and failures as being a result of his inexperience and hotheadedness. Things that he should have grown out of to a greater extent by the time he got far enough in his journey to be the one on the right.
