I've really only seen Indigo (and currently re-watching it) but I'm sure hoping he gains some competence. He's a fun character but he's a bit of an idiot most times. :)

That 'living vicariously' bit is sadly true since most fans here and on other fansites (even if they try to deny it) mainly want Ash to win so that they can get secondhand enjoyment out of it. The plot doesn't matter to them as long as they can see Ash win another trophy that ultimately would just collect dust on a shelf in Delia's living room.
Technically I guess he could, but if his journey will continue regardless of him winning or losing then I don't see what the point of him winning would be other than his fans living vicariously through his victory.
Age him and let him grow. By giving him a older age you can explore more with him. A 13yr old Ash would be dealing with different stuff than a 10 yr old Ash. The fact the anime is afraid to do this bugs me. Personally that is why I liked OS-DP. It felt like Ash was growing up. But of course BW came in ruining it for us. (Since technically prior Ash still being 10 had never been mentioned)
I mean we know of the champion league. So even if he did win a regular league he still has more to do. Heck we have even seen champions travel. I'd see it as even if Ash won a league he could lose that champion league only to win the next one but still travel since other regions could be even stronger and he can learn more.
Yeah, agreed on both fronts. And quite frankly, the fact that Alola didn't even HAVE gyms would have made it worth letting Ash win Kalos and win an in-game league just for once. At least there, there actually WOULD be some rhyme and reason for him to essentially "take a vacation" via Alola. Instead, they had him lose in the most pointless manner possible, and worse, they even lied about him possibly winning. I'm not quite as upset that Ash is still 10 in BW, mostly because those eyecatchers already made it clear since AG that Ash was still 10, but I am still pretty irritated that they don't even bother aging him even when time clearly passed between sagas.
Not to mention, they could have had him lose against the Elite 4, then take a break, and then resume his goal, win, then beat the first Elite 4 and then lose, lather rinse and repeat until he gets the title of Champion, and then they can end the series.
Yeah, age him up a little! Put him in a mentor position! Let him show all his experience! He can still be ambiguously pre-teen-ish but a little bit more mature? He's learned so much over the years let him use it lol
I haven't yet ugh I really need to it looks so good and if Ash is the mentor then !!!!Ooh have you seen the Piwer of Us movie?
Ash was a great mentor <33
You weren't talking to me, but I'm replying anyway because I also haven't seen it yet..... but now I will watch.Ooh have you seen the Piwer of Us movie?

I used to want that, but then Digimon Tri did it, and that was really cool, but I don't want people to be like POKEMON IS COPYING DIGIMON.But there in lies the problem, people who grew up with the show want him to grow up with them. But he never does.
