| Ljink96 said: No. That's what makes ash, ash. The same way Goku always has someone stronger than him to keep interest. Ash's ultimate goal, besides to catch em all, is to beat a league. If he beats it...then what? :O |
His ultimate goal is Pokemon Master. Winning a league =/= Pokemon Master.
| vivster said: No, because he is a terrible terrible trainer. Without friends he wouldn't even have a single badge right now after 20 years. |
In the current XY series he's actually very good. Got all his Kalos badges on his first try except the first and last ones.

This guy knows what's up. Generally speaking, in all animes/TV shows that are meant to last forever (because they print money), they will never achieve that ultimate goal, because.... that's the end. |
Again League victory is not ultimate goal. Even if Ash not only wins the League but also beats the Elite 4 and Champion, he still wouldn't be a Pokemon Master, and there's nothing stopping him from going to Alola. He could just give the Champion title back.
| Shadow8 said: He would've won the sinnoh one if it weren't for that trainer with the Darkrai and Latios... but no he won't win, they need to keep his journey going for ever. #Forever10 |
That's actually another good point, all Ash's league losses were to trainers who came out of nowhere (except Unova but that's another level of stupid). This time his main opponent's were already established prior to League, namely Alain who Ash already battled twice but didn't beat, so it'd be very fitting for him to finally defeat him here.
They can have him win and still do that.
| Moonhero said: He will lose this current league in the top 8. |
Like I said in the OP, he's already in the Top 2.
| LuckyTrouble said: Ash can never win until it is finally time for Pokemon to retire. Which will literally be never, so prepare for Ash to lose in the Onomatopoeia League 50 years from now. |
Sheesh why does everyone think winning League (not even Elite 4 or Champion) means his journey has to end? I don't see any correlation there.
