Yeah, he's not that good. I'm sorry but I could have beaten him easily. VERY easily.

pokenaruto September 15th, 2007 11:08 AM

i dont think he is that good LOL:tired: i dont watch the show that often anymore but i just want to know what you think of him.

J-Rad September 15th, 2007 11:24 AM

he stinks. Has traveled in the pokemon world for years and can't even beat the first gym leader of a new region on his first try, his pikachu is gay cause it never seemes to die until u hit it 50 thousand times (which is nothing like pikachu in the games) and wins by using crazy straigies

me to.
My First Hot thread :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kane September 15th, 2007 2:16 PM

The first gym's are not like the gyms in the games, as you can go to any gym at anytime, so saying him losing to the first gym in a new region as a refection of his ability has no substance.

MewthreeXL September 17th, 2007 5:49 AM

I think Ash is a bad trainer because he is too stupid to realize that Pikachu can never beat an Onix.
I don't hate Ash,because without him there would be no hot female lead characters,but he still could do better.

Lumine September 17th, 2007 7:49 AM

Ash Ketchum lol his last name sounds like "Catch em" how original...
He's exceedingly uncoordinated at catching, raising and fighting with pokemon, if he didnt have his travelling companions he'd probably be dead by now and he obviously uses a Gameshark or something because:
a) His pikachu can affect rock and ground type pokemon and uses agility as an attack
b) His pokemon use WAY more than four moves
c) His pokemon can evolve half-way through a battle
d) He can come back from the dead if pokemon cry at him

And Brocks Onix, plus a handful of other ground types

MewthreeXL September 18th, 2007 11:01 AM

Sorry.I forgot about that.
But I do wonder why he keeps putting Pikachu up against Ground types.

SilencedShooter September 18th, 2007 11:03 AM

Ash is ridiculous. He is just really lucky.

GOPgabe September 18th, 2007 11:07 AM

He can't beat a rock gym leader with a grass type, either Roark is supreme or Ash Fails.
Ash is made of FAIL, he has this really close relationship with Pikachu.

Best answer yet!

I think he probably bribes the gym leader beforehand the battle we dont see it cause its in the break, and he waves money in there face and tells them the conditions of which he wants to win, and if they compliement his idiotic sorry scratch that his brave and daring moves they get an extra 500poke dollar

MyNameMeansForest September 18th, 2007 6:13 PM

"Dodge, Pikachu, dodge!" (notice that his pokemon always manage to dodge for some strange reason.)
"Use thundershock!" (on a ground type, mind you.)
"Oh no, it has taken a lot of damage? Will it manage to win?" (Note that he calls his pokemon "it" and no matter how much damage they take, they manage to stay alive for 10 more turns.)

That is Ash's strategy. Ash is mediocre and second rate. He always manages to pull something out at the last minute that is utterly stupid and doesn't make sense, but works. Battles are boring and easily forgettable. His pokemon never gain experience except for Pikachu who somehow loses when he should be super powerful.

BINGO! If you're always (or in this case, usually) winning, one cannot assume it is luck. If I battle people hundreds of times, all of them "better" than me, but still manage to win a majority of the matches, you can't say it's just luck. In order for someone to get lucky that many times, it would be absurd. The only possible conclusion is though Ash isn't exactly orthodox in his skills, he knows how to win. If our question of "good" revolves around how likely they are to win, then Ash should indeed be considered good.

Considering he's a frickin league champion, I'd say he's doing pretty good.

MyNameMeansForest September 19th, 2007 6:54 AM

He never won a league. He lost, and will lose the Sinnoh one.

I assume nobody in pokemon world cares about the orange islands.

MyNameMeansForest September 20th, 2007 6:34 PM

The Orange Islands? Almost forgot about those...
What happened again? I remember there were four gym leaders but I barely remember anything. Is that the part where his pikachu beats a dragonite?

Yeah, that would be it. There were four gym leaders and one head. The head being Drake: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Drake_%28Orange_League%29
