I'm surprised nobody's calling out the ashnime for being a self-insert fanfic for Satoshi Tajiri.
>>26902983
That was the games.
>>26902991
But Ash's name is literally Satoshi in japan.
>>26902983
If he was, then he wouldn't be losing to bullshit reasons, now would he?
>>26902983
>Shigeru Miyamoto
>>26904255
The anime writers don't like him.
>>26902983
Like in the game where you put your own name in
Ash (Satoshi) = Satoshi Tajiri
Gary (Shigeru) = Shigeru Miyamoto
Ritchie (Hiroshi) = Hiroshi Yamauchi
Tracy (Kenji) = Ken Sugimori
Barry (Jun) = Junichi Masuda
>>26904493
Who the fuck is Ritchie?
>>26904520
That Mary Sue who curbstomped Ash in the first season.
>>26904520
He had another Pikachu
>>26904493
What about Todd
>>26903078
That's actually a common Japanese name. Also, the anime was really Shudo's work rather than Tajiri having it as his.
>>26904493
>Barry (Jun) = Junichi Masuda
Just when I was starting to appreciate Barry for being a competent rival, he's named after that incompetent delusional fuck
>>26904583
This, Shudo named the main character Satoshi as an homage to the franchise creator.
Tajiri doesn't have a word in the anime.
>>26904596
I want to bang Barry's bcherry
>>26904520
Fucking Sinnohfetuses. Who the fuck is Barry?
>>26904664
Probably the misspelling but who would be such a length of anal composite

>Shudo
>not Hidaka
That's not how it works.
>>26904742
Shudo wrote, Hidaka directed but even he stopped directing.
>>26904872
The head writer isn't the person in charge of naming the main character, moron.
Also, Shudo left the show long before Hidaka.
