I watched thirty episodes straight of this shit just to see what happened and what the hell happened to the characterization? Ash is just some bitch fruity faggot role model character with no inspiration or character. He w as a 90s little league softball scruffy kid archetype originally and that felt like a real damn kid.
Everyone in this show is either a cartoon crook now or a completely morally clean goody goody and everything is kind and saccharine. This is all stupid bullshit clearly. It's like they don't want you to be interested in the characters and story arcs anymore.
The original pokemon anime, indigo league, wasn't perfect but at least it was fucking written. This new series is just fruity and gay. Feels like they're just pandering to homosexuals all the time, they don't even give ash a friend to play off of, just another man who he can be bitches with. How can kids like this shit?
