>>46801724>Ash being a battle robot in XYHe wasn't just a battle robot, he was just a fucking robot. Actually rewatch some of the anime filler, not just from XY, but from any post Johto series. Ash has no actual personality, he's stiff as fuck in and out of battle and he might as well be a silent protagonist with how little he contributes to the show. Tell me some notable character traits about Ash in AG. Shit, the entire reason you retards latched on to XY Ash was because it was the first time in like a decade that he had much of anything going on.
> Almost never shows any sort of emotion besides happy go lucky xD so silly and the occasional >:( that’s not nice at whatever opposition of the day popped up.Yeah because pre-SM Ash was just a boatload of character, huh?
Here's the thing, Ash, regardless of the setting, will always be a watered down shonen protagonist, the difference between SM Ash and his previous incarnations is that at the very least SM Ash actually behaves like an animated character instead of looking like every other shot of him was traced from the previous episode with how little he not only emotes, but does anything.
