>>28777413
Not at all considering it looks thats whats happening? Are you stupid?

>>28777413

why do people give a fuck that he's still 10

Bart Simpson is the same age
That kid from Doraemon is the same age
If Yokai Watch is still around in 10 years, guess what, that kid is gonna be 10 too

>>28777413
>And I'm being drawn by another studio so I look twice as retarded than before!

>>28777443
>10 year olds looking and acting like XY Ash
The problem is age/maturity regression for the second time after he's obviously grown past his original dopey self

>they ruined pokemon
>they took away the badge/gym leader system
>they added aliens
>New art studio


Why?

>>28777542
Thats not the reason

>>28777443
Bart simpson has had NO character development in 30 years. Ash on the other hand has had TONS of character development. And also Anime in general has a habit of aging their characters as the series goes on. Even fucking rugrats did it. Why should we expect anything less of pokemon

>>28777443
>why do people give a fuck that he's still 10
because not only he's still 10, he had no character progression and still is the same loser from way back in 1998

he had more pokemon fights than anyone else alive and still acts like its his first every fucking time

i can only stand this shit for eight seasons or less, sorry

He's on a hero's journey, there's supposed to be some kind of progression or maturity or loss of innocence or anything.

>>28777443
>comparing a loose comedy like simpsons to an episodic shonen with clear progression

also there's a reason for the doraemon kid never age moron, it's part of the goddamn story

not only ash has no reason to never age, people around him age and time clearly passes, to make matters worse. you don't see homer simpson dying of old age while bart remains a kid in the simpsons, that's consistency, either everyone age or no one ages at all

>>28777654
Who's gotten older in anime where Ash hasn't?

>>28777615
Dragonball
naruto
death note
and thats just 3 off the top of my head all three over time age their characters

Pokemon is Kodomo not a shonen

Hi Ash, I'm Reason, and i'm here to tell you to please die in an eternal fire along side everyone else who still cares about your show under the beatiful glow of the moonlight so your last memory can be that your death was a true masterpiece.

I really, really don't understand why they think this is the direction to go. Is it really all because of Yokai Watch?

I don't even get their attitude that "Ash has to lose"...he hasn't really "lost" in the sense that even at his shittiest he competes with the best of the region, which would probably conservatively put him in the top ~10-15% of trainers. Add to that XYZ, where he fought Alan, who is probably one of the most powerful trainers in the world, to practically a draw in the finals of the league, and it must put Ash as one of the best trainers in the world, especially in his age bracket.

Imagine if at the end of Rocky they make him go back to remedial boxing lessons. He's fought his way to the top, won respect and love of the country, fought a world champion evenly, almost won, but nope, too bad, he lost by a fraction, it's back to retard school.

I don't watch the anime (or any, really), so I don't care if Ash is younger or older-looking, wins or loses the League, or is going back to school, Kuzco-style.

It feels like there is a lot more caring (i.e., complaining) about the anime here since Ash's losing the Kalos League.

>>28777594
>this is what ashcucknime fans believe

>>28777443
Simpson is a Social-Satire comedy cartoon

Hell, even Southpark, A Political-Satire, at least moved the kids up a grade once, but, that wasn't needed as they parody real world issues

The pokemon anime has an adventure with slight continuity but somehow manages to keep Ash 10.

And now they are going a "Yokai Watch" way which will probably fail, and then in Gen 8 they will scramble to bring ash back to being a "Pokemon Master"

>>28777594
>Bart simpson has had NO character development in 30 years.

Kochikame
Doraemon
Ranma 1/2
The Pokemon Pocket Monsters manga (The one with Red and Clefairy)
Animal Yokocho (Main character, who is five-years-old, has a birthday celebrating her turning five-years-old again)

Shit, man, it's almost like there's a ton of series that last for a long-ass time that don't have the characters actually age or anything.

Good joke

stuff like the simpsons, are more like comic strips, you could say that each ep, is only days apart, nothing much happens. Ash on the otherhand, is more about growing up, moving from region to region. I was feeling that the character was aging, but for product reasons, they had to say at the beginning of each region, he was 10 (in script only) The other contradictions, like Pikachu resetting, could somewhat be overlooked. but i would say everyone ages, Ash, Pikachu, Team Rocket, Brock, Gary...The same effect goes along with each gens new pokemon species showing up. by know we are to assume that all of them were alive since gen 1,

I would be actually more than fine, if they do a reboot then they could do whatever they want with the new ash and make him as stupid and weak as they would like and it would be totally fine because this wouldn't be the same XY ash, they could go even futher and say that ash was born and has lived his entire life in alola

Both. He has some progression each series, but it's promptly forgotten by the next.

One step forward, two steps back.
