Truth be told I think, it Misty and I'm not a pokeshipper, I'm a pearlshipper but Misty is like one of the two girls Ash has ever shown any kind of an attraction to
Also not sure if Miette actually had a crush or just teased Serena and Lillie while never outright confirmed it's pretty heavily implied
Dawn is the most protagonist coded out of any female companion, this was her dream before she even had a Pokemon so she's basically going to be the Ash and she's going to win. You can hate me for it I'll die on this hill
I put Serena here purely for esthetics, I was gonna put Drew or Robert but she fits the vibes way better, I was also considering Aria she seems like she's done a contest or two
Brackets are the same as the M8
Some fans drag him down just because he didn’t make the new Masters 8, but can you really blame him when he lost to the Alola Champion in the finals?
Raihan is the only character (that I’m aware of) who’s explicitly stated to be capable of becoming a Champion in another region, but chooses not to because of his pride, he wants to beat Leon and become the Champion of Galar and the World Champion.
Such as this scene between alolan golem and metang
Any more moments in the anime that were close to this hype?
So I'm assuming everyone has to get a general education and you have the option to stop when you turn 10, that's why Ash and the crew don't usually go to school
Then there's Max and Bonnie who are both too young to be trainers yet are allowed to travel around and not go to school
And now for JN Goh is still very much a student despite being a research fellow, travelling around and just never being around but I guess he still shows up for exams which he made a deal with his teachers
And in Horizons the kids are taking their classes offline
Getting a job in this world doesn't seem that hard compared to our own most people seem to do apprenticeships or keeping it in the family over getting applications from schools. It was just something I was wondering
Imo… Trip’s Serperior was badass asf, I loved the sheer confidence, power, skill & manly speed it possessed & I think its strength showcased during the Junior cup is a prime example of how Goated & efficient it was as a battler! What do u guy’s think?
Since I was still a kid back when I first started watching, what really made every episode special was team rocket. They can make even the most boring episode so much more enjoyable to watch
Ash's base Lucario beat Raihan's G-Max duraludon.
Can Roy and Korrina's base Lucario do the same when faced with a big challenge?
for example: ash in kanto, ethan in johto, bruno in hoenn, etc.
Listen, I know that a lot of people mourn the days of OS and AG where Ash was more sassy, arrogant, and hot headed. And tbh it definitely was funny and entertaining in OS and at times in AG, but I’m not gonna lie man…Ash’s arrogance and hot headedness were seriously at it’s worst in AG. It made Ash seem like a dick sometimes and there were times in this series where he was genuinely irritating to watch. Like bro…that episode with Ash’s 1st battle with Brawly is something else 😭💀
Now this isn’t me calling AG Ash generally unlikable or anything like that. Ash is still Ash here in all the ways that count and I love that along with the general improvements that he made as a trainer in this series, but whenever that attitude of his reared it’s head, Ash just wasn’t very fun to watch
Which is why I’m glad Drake beat some humility into him lmao. With this, Ash finally started mellowing out in Battle Frontier and was generally more calm and humble going into DP. Not to say that he never gets overconfident, gets impatient, or butts heads with anyone ever again since that just isn’t true, but from DP onwards (yes even BW) that arrogant, hot headed Ash is more or less gone and I truly do think he’s all the better for it
Yeah even after 15 years of unwarranted hate.
I still love the Unova companions so much.
Especially Iris.
