Ok, so how in the world is he still 10 years old? This makes no apparent sense whatsoever! He was even with Pikachu for a whole year (said in Pokemon 3). How is he able to still stay the same age? Does he use anti-aging crème or eat blueberries or what? Whatever…. But how can he not be with Misty? She was with him for so long, through two regions! How can he let two dirty sluts take her place. They don't even know how to raise pokemon let alone battle with them! Misty is more awesome than those two plus awesome sauce combined! Ash is so stupid, letting her get away. We all know that they should be together, but those stupid idea writers somehow don't like Misty and put in stupid people in her place. I also have another problem! How can Pikachu be defeated? He/She should be at least level 90 by now! Pathetic defeats shouldn't even be in the playbook. This is why they took out nearly all his original pokemon. They (producers) wanted to keep the anime looking realistic, even though he still has Pikachu. Why does Ash get rid of his pokemon? I thought he loved them! He should have kept them with him, keeping the integrity of the show! I know they need to grow and all, but it's just not the same as before. Another question: Where is team rocket? They used to be so grand and all? Why does our hero have to battle new teams in each other region. This is what the old viewers want: we want to see Ash battle team rocket. And speaking of Team Rocket, we want Arbok and Weezing back! Team Rocket hasn't been the same since that stupid Wobbuffet came into the picture. Meoth hasn't had his chance to shine in years! But back to Ash now. Ash is handsome yes, but he is also very dumb. He doesn't know how to use a single brain muscle, especially in battling. This is how Pikachu looks so weak at times! He needs to understand that battling takes brains, and that is why he should have Misty! Misty has brains, and the brains would rub off on him. But the brains she gave him wore off of him when May and her lover Max entered the team stupidly. Ash doesn't realize that these new people aren't good for him and they are evil! Misty isn't evil and should be with him! And where is Brock? Brock is supposed to be the voice of reason. All he does is serve as humor. He doesn't help at all whatsoever and has severed ties with his former reputation! He is acting stupid, setting an example for Ash Ketchum! Now that I think about it, Ash hasn't seen his mother for ages! Why doesn't he call her at all? She worries sick about him and he doesn't give two craps about it! He is so ungrateful to anyone that crosses his path. Well, I guess that Ash will never change, he hasn't since 1997.
