brobathehutt (12/20/2015) [-] Which is why he's such a ****** trainer. Why would I want to keep charizard or squirtle or bulbasaur? I would actually be able to win battles if I did that!

zioken (12/20/2015) [-] It does make some sense that each new region he goes to he starts off with a new team, otherwise where would the challenge be in using his strongest pokemon every single time? Also lets him catch new pokemon without issue. The one thing that doesn't make sense is why Pikachu loses to obviously weak gym leaders but that's a whole different story.

zioken (12/26/2015) [-] Put it this way, if you could play the 2nd RPG in a series that features the same characters, would you use your party level from the first (who are probably all high leveled and will one shot everything beside maybe a few bosses), or would you start from level 1 like a fresh game.
Maybe if you only enjoyed the story you'd go with the first option, but the 2nd makes much more sense from a enjoyment perspective because it gives at least some sense of challenge.
And yes the plot being boring is an important factor because it's a show, if they had him beat every single trainer outside the elite four and a few specific people with the same team it would be boring to watch, after 2 regions he'd be too strong for anyone else.

If it was like a deadpool series where they actively break the fourth wall sure, but since it actually has a plot and tries to immerse the viewer in it making characters do something stupid like give up all their progress and restart from scratch with no motivation just to incorporate a 'sense of challenge' simultaneously ruins the immersion and makes the character feel retarded.
Put it this way, if you were half way into an RPG and it starts to get a little boring, do you think it would be a mechanically good design for the RPG to just force you to restart from scratch level 1 with no items or abilities complete with beginners tutorial and all just so that it doesn't get 'to easy'?

zioken (12/26/2015) [-] It doesn't go like that though, it's not like Ash is constantly starting again at the same place, he's starting from a new region so it would be like not finishing one RPG and beginning in another.
Is it a practical thing to do? Not at all. However that's how it goes. If that was the point he would have stayed another year at Indigo and win that one before moving on to the next. It's not losing all progress either, all those Pokemon are still there they just sit in the reserves until Ash really feels like he has to pull them out.
And again that's why I said it made some sense to do that, if you catch new Pokemon and just put them in a PC they'll never get any experience, but using them while traveling means they'll constantly gain some. In the end it's having many experienced Pokemon vs a few maxed ones.
It makes sense to do it, but it's surely not practical when it comes to winning. However as the show as clearly proven, Ash isn't about approaching all things in a practical manner.

brobathehutt (12/20/2015) [-] Yeah it makes sense that he would go to new regions and very rarely use his other pokemon in those regions, but he isn't limited by the rule that says only 6 pokemon except in legitimate battles (less than 10% of what he does). So he can carry around some of his kanto pokemeon and only use pikachu and w/e lineup when he's in legitimate battles.

Abortedwafflez (12/19/2015) [-] No, he won it by sending in multiple letters to the Pokemon League to win the hat in a giveaway.

ciacheczko (12/20/2015) [-] Huh. At first I thought "So Ash actually did win at something", but then in turns out he's just a persistent spammer.

richardastley ONLINE (12/20/2015) [-] I think it was a contest where he had to mail something into the Pokemon League and he ended up mailing it in a bunch of times because he wanted it so bad.
I could use Google, but trying to get it from my memory is more fun.

thesecretbear (12/20/2015) [-] People give ash so much **** for being useless.
But how many of you would fail as many times as he had and keep going?

murrlogic (12/20/2015) [-] I'm shocked they aren't airing the episode of pokemon where Ash and friends help Santa Clause deliver toys to the good little trainers of the Kanto region.
Oh wait...

myreadyassyolk (12/20/2015) [-] ye
Left it on for hours while I played pokemon then collecting and repairing
It was a bitch but I eventually got the good ending.
Also had enough at the treasury to reach the chest at the top.
