But see, Ash has grown. It's subtle, and it's not in ways people want him to grow, I suppose. But if you rewatch the first season of the anime and compare it to the recent episodes while the writing is still... how it is Ash as a character has grown. As a roleplay and as a roleplay that roleplay Ash no less I've pretty much figured our IC reasons for why things like BW happened because I obviously can't blame the writing. But roleplaying him has gotten me to understand him waay more than I did before. Now I won't rant further hahah. But I will admit that the writers don't always handle their characters well. Trip is a very good example as they didn't really do himjustice in the anime. My friend though does an amazing job roleplaying him and brings out all the aspects of Trip that we barely even saw in the anime itself.
Oooooh that's neat! It' snice to know how everyone has beeen haha~
Imiss the old days too. But at the same time I look back and go 'wow i can't believe I was like that' aha.
