>Ash BTFO'd Gary so hard that he quit being a trainer

>>33432459
Made Gary realized that being a trainer is fruitless, and instead got a doctorate and is studying pokemon, while Ash is back in school.

Are you fucking mental?

Don't forget, He resurrected a Aerodactyl.

>steady improvement, gets to the finals, small accomplishment in battle frontier too
>time confirmed for standing still after he met ho-oh so he has literally infinite time to improve and it doesn't matter, if it's really his passion why would he quit
it's great gary found a thing he really loves but there's literally nothing wrong with not giving up something you like if time and money isn't an issue

also there's a difference between never even making it past the worst ash ever did and losing in the semifinals to two legendary pokemon

>both Ash and Gary ended up as reject trainers in the anime who never won anything of worth
>Red and Green in the manga ended up as God tier trainers

Hmmm really makes me think

>>33432993
a NFE pokemon that can go toe to toe with a legendary and KO two pseudos in a single battle

>>33433356
This, I feel like Gary was having a case of boredom when he became a trainer, he wasn't focused on the dex, he just wanted strong Pokemon, not alot of them. He just wanted a minute of fame.

>>33432459
>Gary got his doctorate and became a professor moving on with his life.
>Ash still busy losing league battles

>>33433374
Normally, I'd give credit to the anime for the change. You'd expect random kids to come to terms with reality at some point and realize there are thousands of people doing the same thing as they are, we can't all be the best. But then I realize they did nothing with that plot point and interesting dynamic.

>Gary realizes Pokemon Master isn't a feasible goal and decides becomes someone successful like his Grandfather and lives a fulfilling life
>Ash is still chasing the impossible dream of Pokemon Master that he'll never accomplish in his existence as a perpetual 10-year-old who can't win a single non-filler league

They both seem to be enjoying their lives. Ash clearly only cares about having fun adventures and set the nebulous goal of "Pokemon Master" so he'll always have an excuse to keep adventuring.

I consider them equal

>Red and Blue in the actual games, meanwhile, both became Indigo League Champion, Blue became a gym leader, and ~7-12 years after these events they're now seen as living legends around the world

Read the dex.
>BW: It possesses seven-colored wings. It is said that those who see Ho-Oh are promised an eternal happiness.
>B2W2: Its feathers are in seven colors. It is said that anyone seeing it is promised eternal happiness.
Ash's definition of "eternal happiness" is an eternal Pokémon journey. I think it was in M20, though I haven't seen it yet.

>inb4 fuck off Richard
Not him. I don't have images of all the dex entries. Although he's probably lurking this thread as I type.

>those who see Ho-Oh are promised an eternal happiness.
I don't think Ash needed Ho-Oh for this, he is incapable of feeling negative emotions for more than a day

>>33433374
Ash won the Battle Frontier and has saved the world countless times and he is also 10, same deal with Gary being a genius assistant researcher at the age of 10. Red and Green are 16+ years old and in the games are now in their twenties. Or what do you jerk your cock off because you are better at basic algebra than a 10-year old?

>>33432459
Because he was an asshole
