>>52678472Gen 5 would've been a perfect time to boot him and do a reboot. Crazy to think we've been stuck with him for 25 years. He shat up gen 5, 6, 7 and 8 which all could've expanded upon the game story in cool ways. XY and SWSH really could've used it.
On the bright side he's out the door before he can contaminate gen 9. Even if the new characters aren't doing much with gen 9's story itself it's better than seeing Ash fuck it up like gen 7 with his super special mary sue team that would have these tards raging if any other character had the same team.
