You would think a Pokemon master would have every Pokemon eh? He isn't even trying to catch them all at this point! Ash overall is a terrible Pokemon trainer and should give up and go home.

the pokemon anime is so fucking cheesy.
I honestly i think that blues clues is much better. it has much better character development, its very suspenseful, and can get very dramatic at times. When ever he gets that letter, i just start wondering who its from and i just cant stop shaking and sweating :^)

I wouldn't think a Pokemon Master would catch every Pokemon tbh, maybe a breeder or researcher but not Master. I think Ash is a great trainer because he doesn't give up on one Pokemon, he does whatever he can to bring out the true potential of one Pokemon and I think that's better than keeping em in a bank. Waffles, your memes are bad and you should feel bad.

ASH IS A SHIT TRAINER WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

I think that Sarge has misconceptions. Loving your pokemon doesnt make them strong, making them killing machines makes them strong. They are all strings of coding, and if you manipulate the games mechanics you can overcome any "loving trainer". The only reason Ash beats people is because gameplay mechanics aren't a thing in the anime.

And like Waffles says the anime is cheesy as fuck. They would make a terrible trainer like Ash seem like a good one.

They set the bar low so that kids can compare themselves to Ash.

^ #1 reason why I still like the anime, it's nice, shows compassion and all that other stuff about good character development. Ash isn't necessarily a great trainer but he's not shit or else he wouldn't have all the badges he does, nor all the strong Pokemon he does.

Nah he is pretty garbage. Anybody with a bad team in the games can beat the Pokemon league. That doesn't mean they are good though, all of those battles are easy.

I'd be surprised if a person who has never heard of Pokémon or has no knowledge of it can even beat the first gym without screwing up at least once.

It's hard for somebody to screw that up unless they have no common sense on types.

First gyms are usually rock, if a noob picks a fire type and only does trainer battles? They're fucked. What's scratch/ember gonna do to an Onix? The TM of Pokémon wouldn't know who the first leader is/their type/intel that rock douses fire cause that dates back to the stone age. Kids now know only about the basic cycle. This is what goes on in the 10-year old, and guess what age Ash is? 10. I think he's doing fine.

Most children can beat the first gym no sweat.

If they have knowledge/friends to help them, I agree

When you think about it, he is just not a good trainer.

Also no, a lot of children can beat that shit without any help, it's not hard at all.

I think anyone who can crush a legendary or raise a pokemon with terrible nature to its absolute best is not a bad trainer so I will have to disagree there.

If they know what they're doing, amif they're just running around fascinated by grass, not catching other pokemon, buying potions and such, they're done and those are just the basics.

Beating a legendary Pokemon doesn't mean fucking shit! Most people have trouble trying NOT to knock them out when catching them! And Ash hasn't trained any Pokemon to their absolute best, and if you tell me which one I guarantee that fuck wasn't even close to being it's best.
