He's the edgy fanfic character everyone wanted Ash to be replaced by since 1999.

Of course I don't agree with that, but I can see why he exists.

Because his character has a clear simple progression and you can expect him to have a conclusion to his story. The mega specials were way better than what I thought they would be. I only expected shilling but it turned out pretty good. 4 episodes to showcase the fall of a naive kid who will become Ash's enemy in the main series.

One thing that's iffy about it was the way Lysandre convinced him not to associate with Sycamore but it's not completely unreasonable (don't get him involved unless you're strong enough to protect him). Everything after that which showed him gradually becoming obsessed with power for the wrong reason was fine.

Also, as edgy as he was at times, he still showed a lot of moments where he cares or acts like a normal person like hugging his pokemon after a victory, smiling or looking after Manon. Problem with a lot of edgy characters is that they're ALL EDGE almost all the time. Pic related. You can have a dark character that still shows concern and gratitude after being saved.

To contrast Ash.

You people have been asking for an edgier more shonen version of Ash since the dawn of time, now that you get him you're complaining? He's not nearly as cringeworthy as the manga characters.

>every character with black clothes is edgy
Who let /v/ in?

I would very much like to see him become one of Ash's travel companions. Next season; Ash, Alain, May and Brock. Also MegaZard X and Y teaming up or going head to head would be cool as fuck.

>Brock
>returning to the anime
Brock overstayed his welcome after Hoenn. He has nothing to contribute to the anime.

I would say that it was in Sinnoh, but his Croagunk was his best Pokémon, so I give Sinnoh that.
