Ash's entire existence is just a vehicle for boys to self insert on, hence why people get angry if Ash is ever upstaged like when Goh catches more Pokemon than him, and why XYZ Ash was so popular, as he was the most generic self insert shonen protagonist he's ever been and attracted the SAO audience with XY's shitty attempt at edge.
