    XYZ Ash is one of the best written characters. The anime took a different approach in XY. Ash during the previous seasons faced challenges from other people stronger than him and there was always somebody more mature than him in his group(Brock and Cilan). In XY, Ash is the mature person in the group and he is admired by everyone around him. Everyone expects great things from him. His challenges are meeting people's expectations and prove himself worthy of being considered a role model by trainers like Sawyer, Clemont and Serena. That's why Ash goes to the forest after losing to Wulfric, he thinks he is unworthy of the praise people give him and thinks that Sawyer has surpassed him. That's why Serena's words are important. He realises that people don't admire him for his accomplishments, they admire him for his optimism and compassion toward other pokemon. The way Ash interacts with the forest pokemon furthers this belief and Ash finally realises where he was wrong. The Snowbelle arc is one of the best written arcs in the whole of the anime

      Actually that is genuinely something I sort of understood, but never put much notice that Ash kind of really took in the role of responsible guy. Though air quotes on Ash being "Responsible" Either way, he does mostly fulfill in the sense, the mentoring role for his group in Kalos. Like Brock or Clement in the past

    I was part of the group of kids who grew up watching the original series, so I was in high school when XY was airing. Part of why I loved the XY anime was that it felt like Ash was getting older right alongside me.
    He was properly growing into himself, finally acting like the leader of the group for once. Yet he also tried to put on a brave face while struggling with insecurities, something that was highlighted during the Ash-Greninja arc. XY delved into some of the issues that we struggled with as teenagers. Maybe that's why it resonated so much with teenagers in the 2010s.

    - His design makes him look like a teenager
    - He wasn't the strongest but he was still respected and recognized as a trainer. This Shows he is an MC that alot of people can relate too.
    - He also had a great group. He was like a brother to both Clemont and Bonnie. Him and Serena made their dynamic as a group so fun to watch because in the previous he was always seen as one of the "immature friend or little kid" in the previous seasons--with this group, he's definitely recognized as the mature one.💕

    As someone who watched XY as it was coming out as a kid, but hadn’t really kept up with the prior seasons.
    Even beyond the idea that he matured from all the past seasons, this Ash always felt the most engaging to me because he was slightly mature. He still felt like a kid, but one that you could rely on. And as someone young, was a really good role model type figure to follow along in the story.

And while yeah I was a bit disappointed that he lost the Kalos League, but not really THAT much, like most seem to be. In my eyes, Ash had made it so far, he made the FINALS of a Pokemon League, which is awesome, in my opinion! And I totally agree with you. Though he lost, Ash and Greninja were able to finally get better control of their new power, and were okay with the lose.

    This was the FIRST series of Pokemon I watched on weekly Japanese release due to the hype of the games and a few trailers...
    They released ep1&2 together and by the moment the battle versus design popped up for Ash & Clemonts mock battle, I was sold!!
    Then, the small moments of Ash climbing Prism Tower and Clemont growing more confident seeing Ash put himself at Great risk was icing on the cake.
    Even the "filler" episodes bar a few were top notch.
    One of my favourites was when Goomy ran off and Bonnie & Serena had a double battle with Team Rocket.. So dope.
    Ash' team was one of his Best and the personalities of all their Pokemon was great too.
    Plus, Froakee choosing Ash solidified it.

    I also really loved XY/XYZ because of the development the whole gang got in general. Each character had depth to them past what we see, and the show gave us that through their own backstories and private moments outside of interactions with Ash. It made the whole show feel authentic in a way and made it a lot more relatable to us watching it as somewhat older teens. A part of me still sheds a tear for the episode where Serena ended up cutting her hair.

    I am very late by a month, but other than Indigo Leauge, XY/XYZ was the series I first started to watch Pokémon. I first got the info maybe sometime within th Black 2/White 2 era, but because even more obsessed by the era of X/Y, not because I played the games (I only played X/Y a tiny bit when I was with an old friend, who allowed me to play some of her old save file... the same happened with Sun/Moon), but it was when I started to learn a lot more about the franchise, the Pokémon GO craze also helped out with that too despite not having a phone, as it exposed me to more content of Pokémon. Anyways, side tracking aside, I like the maturity Ash has in XY/XYZ, and honestly wished we had a combination of Ash from the Sun/Moon and Sword/Sheild (Adventures) seasons combined with XY/XYZ Ash, giving Ash some maturity, but also give some more moments where he could just goof off with his friend(s) (

Because the way the anime looks and feels makes the stories really feel ambitious even if it's for the ordinary moments and makes these daily adventures truly feel grand scale.
    But i just cope with the animes after XY&Z as just the creators wanting a reset and Ash slowly retiring as the anime protag for Pokemon. I hope they STICK with the protagonist switches because Ash already had a whole life journey displayed to us.

Like you really have to understand why XYZ Ash was so goated and why XYZ Ash was so much mature and a total badass because Ash was terrible in the Black & White series and the Unova League was trash. I don't care what anyone says. The fall off between Diamond & Pearl to Black & White has to studied because there's no way Ash goes from being in the top 4 in the Sinnoh League to losing in embarrassing fashion to a nobody in Cameron who only had 5 Pokémon with him, even though it was a 6 on 6 battle like the entire Black & White series was terrible, especially for Ash so basically the entire XY/XYZ and the Kalos League was literally Ash's redemption arc and for him and that's a good thing. Also the dynamic duo between Ash and Greninja was so badass and goated because Ash actually learned how to have fun battling instead of trying to win every single time

  • @LittleAl016
    @LittleAl016 2 месяца назад +3

    He's "popular" for the wrong reasons. Especially since the XY anime made him regress more than the entitled periphery fandom thinks that BW did. He was more childish than in BW. The only reason why he comes across as "mature" and "grown up" is because of the image of Ash that the XY anime itself forces on the viewer. XY for the first time presents him fully as a figure who apparently should be revered by viewers. Which is itself opposed to being shown as either a naive, slightly boneheaded kid (OS, BW) or a somewhat smarter Pokemon trainer with some experience (AG, DP.) This is reinforced by his three traveling companions, who all share in their unflagging worship of him and the storyline forcing events that happen just to make him look good in the end. Other characters are even literally shoved to the side just so that Ash can take all the glory for himself. Even to the point where those same characters that are shoved aside sit on the sidelines, literally saying "isn't Ash the coolest"? It's enough to make anyone with even a semblance of media literacy feel like they're watching grass grow, or watching paint dry.

    Then in johto, he actually became competent, and battled with skill
    he still had his major ego, but he was still a mentor to may, but he barely learned anything from her, he didnt ecen wafch half her contests
    In dp, he actually took time to actually watch and learn from dawn,
    And then BW threw all of itt away
    And then all of it returned for XY, and he became more mature, rather than just influencing more than just serena, he started being a role model to everyone, even veterans like alain and clemont
