1 hour ago (edited) according to what a previous anime director said, that's exactly how you be a pokemon master. problem is that ash said that winning the league is only the first step to being one, which completely undermines what the director said. so in reality, it we take what ash said to heart, that means that we've been watching this show for twenty years, only to realize that ash hasn't even taken the first step to being a master. there's been absolutely zero progression for ash as a character, and that's the anime staff's fault. Read more 1 hour ago So basically weve been rooting for Ash for twenty plus years to achieve a dream that he was never meant to fulfill; you know in hindsight that kind of treatment to the MC isn't really helpful to the brand. "Remember kids, if you aspire to be like Ash you will never truly progress and achieve your dreams, be sure to buy our products." REPLY 21 minutes ago( that's basically it. the writers, rather than expand and improve on their character only put them through an endless loop of mediocrity and/or failure. even as good a trainer as kalos ash was, he was never meant to break the cycle that the writers have set as the status quo. this is all done by the producers, who are ultimately ashs puppet master. some of the anime staff, especially the animators of xyz expressed their disappointment of ash's kalos league loss on the internet, so its not like they're entirely to blame here the problem is that the anime is now based on monetary gain alone, and if their characters ultimately receive bad rep because of it, the producers don't care, so long as a new generation of brats fills to void left by disappointed fans. you're right though, the moral that the anime is essentially teaching kids is that despite how hard they try to reach their dreams, theyll ultimately fail and be losers for the rest of their lives. with a message like that being delivered to people who watch the show, its no wonder why Japan has one of the largest suicide rates in the entire world. you know the most ironic thing of all? decades back, if the anime played their cards right, ash could have been as iconic and as happily a remembered character in anime, up their with the likes of naruto and goku, but the anime drug his name and rep through the dirt far too many times. now, while ash may be instantly recognized in pop culture, its for all the wrong reasons. the majority of the pokemon community as a whole views him as a hopeless and hapless loser, never meant to accomplish anything meaningful in his eternal 10 year old life, and the anime staff and especially its producers are to blame that one of the most iconic pokemon characters also happens to be the most infamous as well. the respect he gained from being the way he was in xyz almost fully redeemed his character from all his past mistakes, but the moment greninja collapsed and lost to an opponent he very well should have beaten solidified the fact that ash isn't going anywhere so long as games are being distributed and made, ash will forever only serve as a marketing tool and nothing more. ashs character died when xyz ended. those few naive people who still think that ash could win the alola league are only fooling themselves. the definition of insanity: expecting something to change, even though the result comes out the same, no matter how many times you do something. the anime is that loop of doing something, and the fools who think ash will win this time are insane for thinking that, because they expect things to have changed, even though the formula for the anime has never changed. the sin moon fans might have you think its changed, but deep down, it really isn't. the fact they forced in a league in alola for ash to lose proves the status quo formula is still very apparent. there's no hope for ash to be something more, to be a better person. theres no point in having hope in a character the anime has made destined to fail. for what reason is there to hope at all? ash will lose the league, ditch his friends and pokemon, almost guaranteed to never meet them again, only to start the whole process over again come the new gen.
