Ya ,Next time you tell me that Kids hate to see the villain losing and I'm going to abmit it ! Atleast say something believable.
I'd love for you or someone to tell me how that is not believable. Nothing you say is believable either if you want to enter this route because all you do is throw your opinion around like its a fact of life. Kids do not like the same thing everywhere in the world. I find it incredibly hard to believe any of your claim that you make and I'm pretty sure you make half of your statistics up on the spot to please your own views. Mega Evolution already is a love/hate thing. You either love it or you hate it. Its in the fandom too. There are barely that many people that are in between with it. Kids tend to be more extreme with these kind of scenarios.
Its harder to believe your story about why Ash should have Megas than it is to believe in known psychological status of kids.
Froakie nothing like Bulbasaur !! Bulbasaur didn't chose to follow Ash , he was given to Ash by a girl who treat sick wild Pokemon . Furthermore , Bulbasaur took he's time to fully accept & Trust Ash as he seem convince that Ash & gang abandon them in the ''Giant Pokemon Island !
You must not have seen that episode then. The entire episode Bulbasaur was antagonistic to Ash due to his abandonment issues. After watching Ash battle for the sake of the Pokemon against Team Rocket, it accepted Ash and at the end of the episode, battled Ash because it wanted to join his team. Froakie was antagonistic to every trainer who has ever owned it. It did not listen to any orders it was given. It assisted Ash on a whim and after Ash saved its life and after watching how much Ash cared for Pokemon it decided to join Ash because it felt he'd be different. They had a rough start with Froakie not listening but right now Froakie is on board with Ash's orders.
Both joined because they grew to respect Ash for saving them, both had to be won over by Ash's resolve. Both remained antagonistic until Ash proved his worth until which neither responded positively to Ash's orders. While Bulbasaur's was before ownership and Froakie's was after, they have a similar set up.
Please , Some episode didn't got cancel because of the lack of life lesson ! If You make episode with James having Boobs then off course it will get canceled !!!
Plus , The BW series taught that Experience & Hard Work has no meaning ! Loser like Ash can't achieve his Dream , Only People with born with Talent & Luck can get anything without any hardwork & experience !
Pokemon is an entertainment anime , not a educational anime ! Kids watch this for fun , not to learn anything .
Please show me WHERE I said one was canceled because of life lessons. WHERE? Please stop deluding yourself in your own selfish fantasy world where only your opinion matters. I said they had QUESTIONABLE MERIT episodes canceled and replaced by some with better moral standings.
THERE IS ALWAYS A LIFE LESSON in Pokemon. Its for kids, that by itself means that it teaches some lessons. No they don't watch it to learn something. They never incorperate life lessons in the stories and expect them to watch it for those reasons. Its called subliminal messaging. It exists in all children's cartoons. Kids don't watch Team Umi Zoomi because they want to learn, they watch it because they enjoy it. It teaches them basics. Same with Barney, Dora the explora, Go Diego Go, Power Rangers...and yes Power Rangers is Life Lesson HEAVY, they used to have recaps of lessons learned. Futurama does it a few times just to make fun of the subliminal messaging by adding in stupid recaps. Family Guy did it with its Christmas Special. They appear all the time, young or old, and in child, teen or adult shows. The main one is always, through team work, perseverance, and dedication you can overcome your obstacles and achieve your goal.
Natural Talent vs Hard Work: I guess Ash never beat Gary. I guess Ash never beat Paul. I guess Ash didn't KO Darkrai who was completely dominating the tournament by itself. I guess Ash never really worked that hard to achieve any of his titles. I guess Ash didn't win the Battle Frontier or Orange Island. All of his hard earned winnings mean nothing apparently. The constant reiteration of team work and friendship apparently isn't something the TV series is teaching kids. Are you serious? I can't take you seriously. You seem to not know anything your talking about.
[/B]Anime might not follow the Game properly but they deosn't dare change something important about a Game character !
Korrina & her Grandfather play important role in Megevolution So The Anime doesn't have the gut to take their part and gave it an Anime exclusive character like Clemont's father.
Korrian role with Megevolution is just big for the Anime to change it !!! The Anime isn't allowed to change something that important like making Viola & Alexa unrelated by Blood .
Not dare change something important. I guess Iris was a Gym Leader in B/W series then...oh wait, no she wasn't. She wasn't the Champion either. Bianca wasn't Professor Juniper's assistant either and apparently Cheren didn't start at the same time as Bianca despite them being childhood friend.
Brock didn't have a career shift in the games. Misty didn't leave the gym for her sisters to run. They make drastic changes to core characters all the time.
Just Because Clemont father has 2 pokemon capable of megevolving does not mean that he will hogged all the megevolution !!!
Just like I say , Pokemon is a Kids anime and Kids rather prefer to see the Main character with megevolution then some middle-aged man !!! Its Commonsense .
Megevolution is the main attraction of this gen , And Audience will be more focus on seeing the main character with Megevolution because that how an Anime Work's !
Plus , A Middle-age man playing superhero is not appealing for Kids ! They would rather prefer a Younger-man masked himself to help Ash against Team flare because Ash has something that can foil their plan .
If I know correctly , Most of Superhero cartoon aren't even suitable for Kids.
Ya , Kids loves a Hero but only when a Main character plays them .
Again, no. Kids don't want what you seem to think they want. You don't speak for them so stop bringing it up. Its your opinion not a fact. They have heroes that play side roles, the kids love them just the same.
So basically rivals like Paul , Berry and nando are the worst while trash like Trip , cameron is awesome .
How you argue with someone who keep on saying The Sun rise form North !!!
Speaking personally, Paul was a crap trainer. He abused his Pokemon, didn't care for anything but winning, and had the attitude of a rabid dog. As a character he was horribly done and only made to focus that love and care were the proper ways to raise Pokemon (Oh look life lesson). Where Paul failed, Ash succeeded and made Chimchar into something worth using.
Berry, was spastic and erratic. He is not a character people could relate to. Bianca who has a similar personality was easier to relate to because she wasn't as tempermental or as hyperactive. Even the little guy they had to rival Dawn was better than Barry. I wouldn't even count Nando as a rival. That's like saying Casey was a rival of Ash in Johto. Nando was a reoccuring character, but he didn't have that rival feel. He was just doing what ever he wanted just because he could (A fact that pissed of Zoey more than anyone else.)
Legendary Pokemon are natural thing so using them feel like Hax .
But Megevolution is Power born from the relationship between Trainer & Pokemon !! Prof sycamore say that himself in anime !!!
Ash wouldn't be haxed if he get a megmon !
And its not overpower ! Specially if there other people who also master it .
Instate Writer can create new rival who also process the power of megevolution themself therefore evening the playing field .
Its an unnatural power that gives them a super boost. How is that LESS Hax than a Naturally occurring phenomon? You seem to not know the meaning of hacked/hax. Ash has also beaten various legendary Pokemon in combat which was done for the sole purpose of giving him growth with his Pokemon.
Yes it IS Overpowered. Its an unnatural power that boosts the power of the Pokemon to near legendary levels. Its unmeasurable in the anime compared to the games, as shown Mega Blaziken jumped up half of the Prism Tower to save ash and landed without any damage. He had to change to Mega form to do so because it couldn't do it in its normal form. Mega Evolution stands to be a power, much like Ash's Aura ability, that would separate him too much and make him not mesh well with the viewers. Its basic marketing strategy.
That doesn't mean they have to get the same treatment Ash Gets ! Its stupidity to demand the protagonist to be treated like everyone else !
Because The Anime Protagonist has to be special even if he start as an Underdog like Naruto ! That how an anime work .
Special simple Kids Anime ! Seine anime & drama show may be different but Pokemon isn't ether one of them .
We already seen what happen when writer/director tried to put too much attention on Side-character during BW series ! Original Kento series did 10 time better then the trash BW series despite no putting much attention on side-character at all .

Opinion. Stop stating Opinion as fact. Kanto has the most complaints due to main story line and the time revolved around it. The Character focus in Kanto was also on all three traveling companions as well as all characters they interacted with. As time went on they started to focus more on other character because they were newer than Ash. Tracey got a little more focus in Orange Islands because he was the newer member. May got a lot of Focus because of the Contest and because she was a new character. They gave Max a few focus episodes to show his mental growth as a child. Brock got more focus as a breeder to make him different than his Gym Leader self.
D/P had a lot of focus not only on the main members but side characters as well. Zoey got a lot of focus as a reoccuring character, and even Jessie got a lot of focus as a Coordinator. Dawn got a lot of focus to separate her from May as a character with the same goals.
B/W showed the growth of all the "rivals" especially with the relationships of Georgia and Iris, and Cabernet and Cilan. Cameron and Virgil were like the Ritchie of this generation, introduced a character with barely any backstory who stands to be in Ash's way of victory. They weren't great characters, but they were based off the same principle as Ritchie, Harrison, and Tobias.
Also, learn to spell please. Take your time to proof read. I have never met a fan who can't spell Kanto.
Again, you are trying to convey a personal opinion off as a fact in a thread for personal opinions. There is little to nothing you can say to change my opinion on the matter. Ash is as he is made. He is made to be able to relate to children. Giving him anything that gives a boost in battle power makes him unrelateable to the viewer so the writers will do everything not to give him said advantage.
They will change characters around to fit the needs of the anime, even if those needs contradict the video games. Korrina may not have anything to do with Mega Evolution in this season. This would be to keep Ash from getting Mega Evolution. Then again she may keep her role as successor, but still Ash wouldn't get Mega Evolution. He currently doesn't own anything that can mega evolve on hand and isn't likely to catch a new one capable of Mega Evolution.
You don't have to agree with my opinions because they are mine and they are how I see the anime. I'm not even watching it now because I lost interest in it shortly before their return to Lumoise, mostly because its going the same route that I expected it to. I currently have no reason to believe that its going to go any direction other than where I see it going since its following exactly what I expected.
Pokemon from Kalos that I see Ash catching is a small list,
Skiddo as a possible, but has a chance not to evolve. While I can see it evolving, I don't think it would make a lot of sense seeing as Ash and them wouldn't use it the same way as its designed. Gogoat with Ash would be a lot like Tauros. A Power house that's kept away rather than Lapras who was both a battler and a mode of transportation.
Furfrou, while I can see Serena with one as well, I'd like Ash to have one more due to its battle ability. I don't see Ash doing the grooming part and Furfrou may not make another appearance since they did the barber episode, but as a combat Pokemon I'd like to see Ash with it.
Dedenne fills the side mascot role this Gen fairly well so I don't see Ash getting a Fairy Type. Serena on the other hand I expect her to capture at least a Flabebe or Spritzee.
Can't see Ash getting a Litleo, if so he'd probably end up with a female one. Assuming (since it hasn't been confirmed yet) that Ash's Froakie is a Male and Fletchling is Female, Ash could use another Female Pokemon. (Just assuming Fletchling is female, there is no proof to back it up. Froakie on the other had fell to Sylveon's attract so I think he's male.)
He missed his chance at Scatterbug and Pancham. Don't think they'l reoccur later for him to catch.
Jessie and James own Pumpkaboo and Inkay so I don't think anyone on Ash's side will catch them.
Espurr and Honedge just don't look like they'd belong to Ash. I can see a rival appearing with Honedge, and I don't think Ash and Co. will catch the Espurr in the next upcoming episode.
I can see Ash with a Binacle, Skrelp, and or Clauncher. I can see him with any of the three, but not really all three. Clauncher in my mind has the best chance due to it being a Crustacean. Though Ash may catch Binacle since he currently has a Water type and doesn't often double up on his types, even if he caught them, it would be a rotation scheme again.
Sylveon got its showcase so I don't see her coming into Ash's or Serena's hands.
Tyrunt and Amura, I don't see Ash getting. They've made a habit of introducing the fossils to Ash in some way, but he never catches them, I don't think this time will be an exception either.
Hawlucha, this one would be interesting. I can't honestly see Ash with it or Serena or Clemont, but I can see it finding its way into the Main team. If it doesn't appear as a side Pokemon on a new reoccuring rival, I hope it gets onto Ash's team in some way.
Carbink, Goomy, Klefki...These three I can see either Serena or Clemont catching. Goomy seems like something Serena would catch and Klefki as well. Carbink could go to either of them, though I'd side more with the man of science. While at the same time I can see Jessie with Klefki.
Panthump, if Ash does not get a Skiddo, I can see him with Panthump. The only issue would be that it has to be traded to evolve and I can't see Ash simply trading to evolve it. Trading seems to have a different attachment in the Anime than it does IRL. They keep trying to play trading off as a severe emotional trigger which has the trainer either regret the action (ash in Kanto) or love the action (Bianca and her Escavalier)
Bergmite would be interesting on Ash's team because he doesn't usually have strong Ice types. Glailie was his only Ice type if I recall. Bergmite evolving into the tank that is Avalugg, would be interesting choice for Ash. It be like Ash having Torterra again, the slow, but hard bodied tank.
Noibat, would love for Ash to get it, but highly doubtful in my mind.
Older Pokemon that re-appear:
Now there is a huge list. There aren't many I see Ash getting simply because they had been owned before or Ash already owned them at some point. Serena and Clemont on the other hand, I would like to see have some older ones.
Serena I'd like to see with her own Rhyhorn while Clemont I'd like to see with an Electabuzz.
I can see Ash possibly calling in his older Pokemon in the later portions of the Anime as is usually tradition, but we're way too early into the Anime for those kinda thoughts.
