I don't remember ever thinking I had a crush on Ash, because even when I was young I wanted Ash and Misty to be together(Pokeshipper forever!). For me, It was Tracey. I sometimes joke about him being my Pokemon "love", but that's only because I love his personality and find him really cute. I would never really love an anime character that way. As others have said, that's sort of going off the deep end. I also remember breifly "having a crush" on Gary. Now I just admire him as a character. And I guess Drew as well. Tracey, Drew, and Gary are now my three favorite male Pokemon characters. :) So yeah, they might have started as "crushes" but it turned out to just be character admiration. I do find it very weird if a person doesn't outgrow a crush on an anime character, but finding an anime drawing attractive really isn't that weird.
