>>53635546I really feel sorry for Shudo, Dave for his Lugia must be female autism. He did really concoct the best finale to finish Ash’s journey and they blueballed him. The whole idea of Ash taking the side of Pokémon and ending battles/ownership is basically what N was and stood for. He really was ahead of the curve for evolving Ash’s story, wanting a new generational hero, and giving meaning to the movies. This was all cock blocked because the marketing department and easy telephone line to the execs communicated to them that ending Ash would stop sales of merch, which was absolutely wrong and ludicrous.
Dude ended up dying in the train station while TPC concocted the most bullshit journey for Ash’s remaining lifespan
