    I swear. The only reason Ash has been able to get this far is because Pikachu is a hacker. There’s no way a Pikachu could be that powerful in the games, especially not in Gen 1.

  • @MSCLeap75
    @MSCLeap75 4 years ago +1756

    Ash's stupidity was what made him so hilarious back then. It's almost too bad he's not as dumb(or sassy) anymore nowadays and instead just bland and really childish but at least an awesome trainer.

    • @GameparkGames
      @GameparkGames 4 years ago +156

      He still has his moments, at the start of Journeys he got into it with Goh a few times, while not as funny as the original series he still has some of his original personality, it's just downplayed in favor of excitement. The voice he has now doesn't help with those moments as well they never should have gotten rid of Veronica Taylor.

      @dancorneanu9144 4 years ago +30

      The first four generations were supposed to be a heroe's journey for him. Then came the fifth, and it became an admitted reboot, both for the anime and the games. Since then he gets reset, became bland and no longer ages. First seasons were an adventure. From beginner to master.

    • @dancorneanu9144
      @dancorneanu9144 4 years ago +149

      Yes. Just like new trainers. Misty wasn't that much better. Also take into consideration than the anime world is harder than the games. Pokemon have actual personalities and may fight you for control. Also they have actual needs, so raising them is actual work. Not just fighthing and selecting moves. The gyms were also harder. The most obvious example: Sabrina. No gamer could defeat her in the anime. Most of us couldn't get past Brock.

    • @paulnovacek3715
      @paulnovacek3715 4 years ago +378

      He slowly gets more and more mature up until Black & White, where he becomes stupid again. Then in XY and XYZ he randomly becomes mature again. This was somewhat reverted in the more recent seasons, but rather than acting stupid he acts more like a kid, which makes sense since he's a 10 year old boy.

    • @dwaynebaniqued2562
      @dwaynebaniqued2562 4 years ago +73

      @paulnovacek3715 when dawn was 10 ash have gone to Kanto, Johto, and hoen.

    • @GameparkGames
      @GameparkGames 4 years ago +95

      @paulnovacek3715 Black and White was a soft Reboot meaning he could have taken a fairly lengthy break from his adventure between the ending of the previous series. He also didn't plan for that region or gym challenge and only went with Oak to see Pokémon but got caught up in the excitement of it. It was his slump region because like any 10 year old his mind just reverted back a bit, I know I wasn't really a smart 10 year old and did the same mistakes. He eventually grew from it thus actually coming back to form during the XYZ series. The Alola and Journeys series isn't meant for him to take things serious as well, this is kinda like Vacation periods in his adventure but instead of relaxing he's trying to maintain his goal so he doesn't make the same mistakes he did before. It'll most likely go back to a true form again once he takes on the Galar League Challenge.

      @Clawdragoons 4 years ago +72

      @aidane011 The Mystery Inc. gang gets up to some major hijinks with a pair of masked villains with a hot air balloon. They unmask the first, a red-haired woman shouting and verbally abusing them (as per usual). Fred reaches for the second one's mask, and Shaggy gets a feeling. Time seems to freeze for a moment, a brief shot of a fallen bottlecap on the ground right where Fred is about to step. Moving fast enough to liquify the ground into molten slurry, Shaggy yeets Fred out of the way - and, perhaps experiencing the first brief hint of true worry in his life, the rest of the crew too.
      The movement has blown the second villain's mask off, revealing a blue-haired head, smiling slightly, holding the bottlecap that had previously been on the ground, somehow retrieved without even Shaggy seeing when it happened.
      "I'm sorry, but no one touches my bottlecaps"
      "Like zoinks, man!"

    Pokemon still holds up as one of the best English dubbed anime imo. The actors really put their all into not just the dubbing but the acting and gave the English dub its own flair. They did it soo well I think many of us thought of Pokemon as an American cartoon versus an anime dub. Especially because at that point anime dubs werent very mainstream other than the very classic ones or Dragonball Z and a bit later Yu-Gi-Oh.

    • @おちゃ-d1f
      @おちゃ-d1f 3 years ago +155

      @silvervirio3642 For example, at 4:20, the Japanese Ash didn’t say "I don't need a new gun", he just said, "Ah...! I mean...!" (only filler words) Probably because there is no gun-buying culture in Japan (the English version of this scene is funnier😄).
      In the scene where Ash disguises himself as a girl, (7:45) the Japanese version uses a language that only women use instead of the high-tone voice.
      I don't remember them all, but there must be more!
      I personally find it very interesting to see the cultural differences between countries through Pokemon.
      I find these interactions very interesting as well!

    @GreyWolfLeaderTW 3 years ago +531

    In the early show, Team Rocket were actually intimidating. Part of it, as shown when Ash tried to fight them directly with his fists, was the art style established that Jessie and James had to be either older teens or young adults, and thus were able to directly physically overpower the kid protagonists. Pokemon training and battling felt a lot more naturally explainable as a fantasy monster-based form of self-defense and not just play fighting.

      That's because instead having a big head when you're showing off in Japan you become a "big nose"

      @@MCAnimationofficial yeah that's why it was fun, he's incompetent but also cocky.
      Even his relationship with pikachu was funny cause it's not just a boring wholesome friendship, they fight from time to time

      ​​​​@pab162"like.. At all" I already know you are the product of brother sister love. Also it's not like anime characters have a will of their own they win what and when the writers want for them. Realise that and you will help yourself be a little less of a mentally disturbed person start by taking small steps 😄👍🏿

      @Basmupopli Good god, you did not have to destroy them like that. They make one little comment about Ash not winning the Pokemon League nearly enough (this is true, but sometimes it was not his fault), and you call them the result of an incest relationship and tell them to stop being mentally disturbed.
      That was brutal.
