Something really minor that pisses me off to no end is how SuMo designed Ash’s outfit. In every other region he’s been wearing weird sportswear shit like fingerless gloves and brightly colored sleeveless jackets but in SuMo he looks like he stumbled into an Old Navy and picked out the first outfit that fit him. I’d get it 100% if it were Sophocles or Hau or any of the other characters because the Alolan kids actually act like children their age, but Kantonians have been proven time and time again to not give a rattata’s ass about raising kids, Ash is constantly acting way older than he is and still getting shit from his friends and Professor Oak for being immature. Ash should get to dress like a 35 year old man who’s dedicated his life to hiking and only owns stuff he got from his local sports shop because that’s probably what he thinks he is.

But eh, that’s just my opinion.

#Everyone and their grandmother has complained about how ugly he looks in SuMo and to be fair #They’re Right.#He wasn’t adapted well to the squishy art style and they could’ve done a lot better while still having that softer vibe.#But I care more about worldbuilding and the cultural differences in Pokémon and Ash dressing and acting like a real kid breaks my immersion #He was raised in a culture where literal ten year olds are thrown into the woods to play with wild animals.#And he was constantly being shamed for acting immature even though he acts like a goddamn 16 year old 90% of the time.#He should be a freak. A weirdo. The Alolan kids should think he’s a total nut job and he should feel the same way about them.#There’s no way he’s just gonna fit into Alolan society on day one. His character design should reflect that.#but that’s just my opinion #pokémon #pokemon #pokeani #pokemon anime #ash ketchum #my fucking post #pokémon sun and moon #pokemon sun and moon #pokemon sumo
