Reasons Why Red Is Better Than Ash
Firstly, all the protagonists in Pokemon games are showed overpowered and they even defeat doctorate level trainers within a span of few days. You can't get more unrealistic than that (Ash as a character is far more realistic than Red's character ever will.) Secondly, Red caught 150 Pokemon because he had to fill the pokedex, Ash's pokedex is already filled so he only focuses on the league. Third, Ash has aged, only the BW saga screwed that thing up. Look XY Ash and the Ash of previous generations, you'd clearly see he has grown a little.
Everybody should stop hating on Ash by this degree. He may not have won a Pokemon league after 20 years, but he's still a great trainer; he even made it all the way to the finals in the Kalos. Plus what makes Red any better than any other game protagonists? I'm also sick of Ash, especially since he hasn't grown up for 20 years, but sometimes I feel the hate goes a bit too far.
He practically defeated someone like lance as he took down drake's dragonite & what e4 has a legendary? Ash defeated Brandon who has 3 legendaries, Tobias's darkrai (& tied with his latios), & defeated someone with an artoquino. Red is just some Gary Stu who doesn't talk with no backstory or personality at least ash has some background & a hell lot more backstory than red can dream of
Yes true red is better and that's a fact.
I'm so glad that the anime for ash's adventure doesn't waste time for ash to go out of his way to catch all the Pokemon, only to leave them all stuck at oaks lab never to be used, just to fill a useless pokedex for no reward that will ever come to him for it. So yea completely fine with this. U all remember what happened in BW anime, right?
It's not about how many Pokemon you captured. It's about how many of the Pokemon you caught have bonded with you.
Yep he is the master of kanto reigon and ash just caught a single caterpie in a episode yep red caught all 151
Ash has caught around 70-90
Ash is a totally ass man so he can eat anything!
He's a growing boy & children who are going through growth spurts do that. Also it's a shonenn cliche that the main male characters eat a lot. Would you say Goku sucks because of this (of course people would because it's apparently cool nowadays to make Goku seem like the biggest @$$ that was ever created 🙄)?
And besides, it's extremely difficult, if not possible, to catch legendaries in the anime
But Ash had befriended way more.
Invalid reason
This isn't even a reason. Your saying that there are several reasons why he is better,b ut you don't list them in this very choice. this list, on the other hand, does explain why, therefore, this choice is pointless and just shows arrogance from the red fanboys.
Ash Greninja isn't Mega Evolved Pokemon
Red's Charizard mega evolved in Origins
#RedBetter
Red didn't evolve his Pikachu either (proof : Heartgold/Soulsilver).
Correction: Ash's Pikachu doesn't WANT to evolve.
Because he lacked personality
And it's a good thing, because Pokemon are meant to be loved, not tortured in a cyber-dimension for as long as eternity
He was in brawl. Made Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charizard fight FOR him. Now THAT'S something I DON'T want if he comes back.
