I think it would’ve been nice if all the later incarnations of Ash gave him a similar personality to what he had in Advanced.
#He’s still the same sarcastic abrasive person he was all the way back in Indigo League but now he’s a bit more experienced and reserved#THIS is character development. Not that bullshit XY stans call character development.#Advanced Ash has undoubtedly matured and grown as a person but he’s still the same guy he was in Indigo. He’s changed but it’s believable.#XY’s what happens when a Ditto steals Ash’s face and takes on the most lukewarm personality possible so it doesn’t draw attention to itself#There wasn’t any explanation for this drastic personality change either. He just woke up one day and started acting like Clark Kent.#If a character abruptly loses everything that made them an individual and replaces it with a goody-two-shoes paragon hero persona#That’s not character development. That’s character assassination.#Anyways XY was a clusterfuck of trite cliche writing tropes and it’s only worth watching for the fight scenes+crying about wasted potential#pokemon#pokemon anime#pokémon#pokeani#ash ketchum#my fucking post#writing criticism#writing critique
