Gamefreak will mess it up again. So or so. After a Few Episodes, Go's personality has indeed already vanished. He's now a Ash-Clone. Funny enough, that's a Downgrade, judging from Episode 1, where he was like a better Ash.

[@slevinchannel7589]

UNLIKE ASH, Gou is actually how many Fanboys really actually are: He memorizes a ton of stuff about the thing he loves. Unlike Ash, i repeat. And i like his T-Shirt in the Flashback. Hence: Gou has interesting traits. But at the same time, he's really simple.

I was just thinking, whenever they bring it across and dub the series, for the openning, they should reuse the original English openning from the first season, starting off showing Ash to the first line "I want to be", then for this Gou character "To catch them all!" along with their Pokemon, it would work.

I’m not a fan of Ash being retired, outright, but since they often reset his character and refuse to let him grow (literally and metaphorically), I’m okay with the replacement because it would probably be the thing that would allow Ash to grow (in the minds of fans, at least, since you can make up anything if he leaves the show).

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

I would prefer his retirement to be grdual honestly.

[@silverraigirideviluke]

@Nill Null yes, he doesnt have to "grow" to be grown, but he doesnt grow in any way. he grows through a series, but in the next he is almost as dumb as episode 1 ash again, only exception being gen 2. BW ash, looses against beginner trainer and is a general idiot, SM ash, has to learn the same lessons he learned already again, not to mention he regularly forgets type weaknessess are a thing and many more things. if he grows, he doesnt really keep that growth for long.

@Nio37 There was a spinoff called pokemon chronicles or something were the showed the side characters doing stuff. On one episode Misty took her togepi to a temple and it turned out to be the temple's destined guardian and it evoled to togetic and by the law of pokemon if a cute mascot evolves it has to leave the party. There were some other episodes but this was years ago and i never saw it mentioned again so it must not have done well.

[@minhteaa]

Oofer Offer um actually its not because things are more likely to get in their eyes. Its because of biology and evolution. Men were hunters a long time ago and women were gatherers. Men needed eye protection so eyelashes helped them protect their eyes from dust and other shit from preventing them from hunting or killing or whatever. Thats not needed anymore other than a fashion statement I guess.

[@gryphonicbaguette]

soba Yes. Cause dust and shit can get in their eye. Exactly what I said

[@minhteaa]

Oofer Offer no you said “cause things are more likely to get in their eye” which means you were suggesting that men still do things that require them to have longer eyelashes. Men dont hunt everyday to survive and provide for themselves or their families. The either go to the supermarket and buy some ingredients to make food from stuff they didn’t get themselves, or go to Mcdonalds and buy a triple BigMac supreme with a large fry and call it a balanced meal. Women do the same. Society has turned into fatasses. Men and women no longer need long eyelashes. Its now a fashion statement

Ash will never be retired until he becomes the Pokemon master, Ash's dad is introduced into a Pokemon series, and the mystery behind the Unovan dragons is solved. Lastly, meaning what is the original dragon's name & dragon that was split into Reshiram, Zekrom, & Kyurem?

He looks like a boy. For the eyelashes part, In reality Most Boys have longer eyelashes than Girls. Most don't notice since girls are either wearing fake eyelashes or mascara. I literally just had a conversation with my mom about it. The concept that girls have longer eyelashes is a lie cause by girls wearing makeup. You can find boys who have more fuller and longer eyelashes even than some girls who had put on eye makeup.

[@kaitourobin3206]

@Nick Sorenson but you can agree that it is 100% better than Mordern American Cartoons. Seriously compare this with all the new American series coming out next year. ( Also some behind the scenes things, Game freak particular OLM, Inc. Who does the animation for everthing. The movies, show, video game, and promotional materials. Can't keep their Animators, since it view as a baby stuff. Despite they offering the best hours, pay, and benefits. But nope as soon as they can put down on thier resume they had work for the pokemon company they are out there. Thier reason it is too childish for them so they quite. They are going to respectable studio. (Even though most will treat them like slaves and cut thier pay.) That why pokemon led design for new pokemon is a British, James Turner. They had been only able to hire newbies animators and you can tell it really hurt thier quality. With that say, if you are western and went to get in Japanese animation go to the pokemon company. Just but don't put your nose up, stay with them. It baffles me people scrambles to join Diseny when they treat there animators horrible. Well pokemon has the best treatment in the industry. But nobody head over to them.

"It is confirmed that the traveling companion is a guy." *world explodes* But seriously, I can tell just from designs that that is totally a dude. Lashes or not. I do think that this ash will be a mix of sun/moon's wacky ash and X/Y serious ash, with Gou being the more serious down 2 earth/mature trainer and their conflict will b that ash loves everything the way it is, while Gou is just more focused on catching the vast numbers of Pokemon without much of the bonding while boosting the strongest/wisest team for battle, which is rather cold in ash's opinion. I have a feeling that they will more like rivals than buddy-buddies, WHICH IM SOOOO OKAY WITH!! I really hope this will b kinda like if Gary traveled around with ash for a while b4 splitting away and returning again.
