But even Charlie Brown has been alluded to having a decent conversation with his crush or connecting with the darn football off screen/panel. Pokemon is at about or getting close to 2 decades here and aside from what amounts to filler arcs he still hasn't won. And in a show that technically is always going for a sports/tournament motif, that is nuts that the main character still hasn't had any major wins. |
Pokemon is more about the adventure even though the battles are just as prominent.
Personally, this does not take away the fact that XY/XYZ is really solid and has provided a lot of fun for me. I haven't been more enthusiastic about the show for a while and I've watched the series since the beginning (though I should replay more of BW to make sure I've watched as much episodes to cover everything since that's the series I've watched the least amount as of now). What Ash has accomplished is nothing short of great. Sure it would've been nice to see him win and I was a bit disappointed at first, but I'm hate being one to be so negative about anything. In the end, it's not gonna ruin my childhood or all that exaggerated stuff that fans might express.
