Is it me or is Ash Ketchum tiring? I really want to see some more storyline and growth of Ash. He does not physically grow or age or anything. However, he has become a better trainer.
From Kanto-Hoenn he pretty much left his Pokemon unevolved and his tactics were horrible. Now, he sees the benefits of evolving his Pokemon and building a stronger team and such. But sheesh, can he grow up, like girls, and do different things?

Ash is quite possibly asexual or gay. I've had a pretty lengthy discussion on this with members of the forum and he just shows no real desire despite having at least three desirable female travel with him throughout his journey. I MEAN SERIOUSLY? He hasn't a clue.
I think the overall Character of Ash was pretty dull to begin with anyway. It'd have been nice if they scrapped him as they were planning to by the time the Johto series started but they decided on keeping him. Ergh... I just think it's his whole belief with LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP rubbish.
Funny thing is, like you mentioned Zeno, he's evolving his current party. Which means he'll likely get a Garchomp at some point. Who wants to bet he gives it away or stops using it when it evolves? ;D

I'm fed up with his Pikachu. I used to like it, but now it's annoying the crap out of me. It's like that fairy on "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" that keeps on saying,"Hey!" All the time. I wish Ash would evolve Pikachu. I'm getting tried of seeing it on every single episode. I want to see something new.

Wow really? I thought the other day you said you liked it. Guess you got fed up with it recently huh? Still don't blame you. But the thing is, they'll stop doing the series before they even think of removing their mascot.

He should have died in the first movie when he became a statue. If only those pokemon had known him better the anime would be a lot better. Richi is way better than Ash. He should be the main character.

I said I like Pikachu, not Ash's Pikachu. And also I said I'm tired of seeing it, not that I hate it, I'm just tired of seeing it.

Fed up and hate are too far apart to lump together. Still, i'm slightly concerned with the route Ash is taking in the anime lately. It's unlike him to level his Pokemon and keep them in incredibly strong forms. Plus he'll have a Garchomp at some point. It'll be just great going around watching kiddies making a carbon copy of his team. Just means i'll have to stamp all over it!

I suppose his one dimensional character is simply down to the nature of the anime series. It's aimed towards children and therefore wouldn't have too deep a character. Of course, I can't really vouch for the Ash in the Japanese version of the anime but perhaps his dubbing has screwed him over somewhat.

Apparently he has a slightly better character in the Japanese but it's not that much of an improvement (or so my sources tell me)

according to children now days (i'll say ages 3~8) who watch pokemon, Ash is awesome. But at the same time, I asked one of them (I babysit waaay too often xD) of what Ash wanted to be, and the answer was "....Pokemon collector?" Seriously, don't get me wrong, but Ash needs to grow up. From the very first episode he did NOT look like he was 10 anyway

THEY THINK THAT? Oh goodness, it best be a transitional phase they're going through. Still, if they're watching current Pokemon his team isn't TOO bad. Least he is evolving them now. Pretty funny that they think of him as a collector too. I can see it now: "Too bad Ash! You'll never become a Pokemon Master. Instead, catch another thirty Tauros!" I always thought he was 13/14 when I watched the anime.

Ash is pathetic. Like Scot said, he is a huge Gary Stu, and over all a boring character. Thats why I read the POKEMON ADVENTURES manga. At least the characters have some more depth. And it has an interesting story in some of the later chapters. x.x

It's kind of funny because he actually does age, and his proportions have changed over the years to reflect this.
But he's still incredibly boring.

They need to move on from Ash. They can give the new guy a pikachu, they can give him/her ASH'S pikachu for allI care.
