[@paulnovacek3715]

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]

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

[@GameparkGames]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

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.

Ash was the most dumbest funniest main character back then.

[@yanrokbowl28]

To be fair, the voice Taylor used in the earliest episodes helped with that. It made his mistakes sound more like comedic stupidity as opposed to childish naivety when Ash's voice got higher.

[@AJ42K]

And now he's getting dumb again. Goh could be glad to tell you that one and I don't care about Pokemon for the last ten years. Haven't watched pokemon since Hoenn was done and haven't played Pokemon since I caught then all playing Pokemon Sapphire. All 368 or 386 at the time. After that, my Pokemon interest was over. I still talk about it but One Episode I still love to this day. The Flame Pokemon-A-Thon. Most of the entire episode dealt with real life to me last year and this year. Ponyta/Rapidash was very similar to the movie Balto. That's why I liked it.

[@goldenhydreigon4727]

If we get to everytime Ash was dumb in Unova, we'd be here for a year.

In the first few seasons his incompetence was funny because the tone in those seasons is largely comedic. But in Unova the writers made it more serious so Ash’s incompetence was just annoying.

This was great! I loved seeing this compilation from the first season, it makes me remember why I loved watching every single episode! Poor Ash gets made fun of for being so dumb, but really the reason why he questions everything was for the sake of the audience. The kids watching had no idea about Pokemon, so his stupidity was the reason for explaining everything. Ash's lack of knowledge helped to train us on the world of Pokemon!
