>>45320457it depends on how it's done and if it's done well. There's more than enough "canon" material for someone to go wild with it (pic related), but like
>>45321087 and
>>45341656 said, Aura-Ash can lead to some real garbage writing if they aren't careful. It can be particularly bad if they decide to have him abuse things like telepathy and seeing through smoke-screens and sweep through the leagues unless it's an even playing field with other trainers using Psychic or bonds or other powers, but then that can potentially lead to the other problem of having "too many speshul donut steels". I'm a bit surprised that canon Ash hasn't really battled against more trainers like Anabel or Sabrina though desu
As for Aura Ash in general, the fics where Ash himself fights Pokemon can be the stupid kind of fun when done well though, but like I said earlier it can be really easy to fuck it up.
>>45341656>Sinnoh Ash and Kalos Ash could have won their respective leagues, if fucking Deux Ex Machina Tobias wasn't there with his legendaries or if the finals of the Kalos league had gone even slightly differently.I've read a few fics where Tobias "I have a fucking latios, darkrai, and possibly 4 other leggys" was actually a hired gun and/or part of the G-Men meant to prevent certain people from winning the league; Ash was targeted because he had too many scenarios where he was integral to saving the world so the publicity from winning a league and potentially going to the elite four or becoming champ would fuck things up.
Just about every Kalos fic I've seen has him win that league though, especially since it was obviously a last-minute decision to not let him win one for once.
