So I just finished the B/W anime, rewatching it for the first time since the episodes aired a long time ago. I know that for marketing reasons, he has to go to a new region and catch new pokemons, but I'm just gonna base this of Ash as a character.
The whole D/P Sinnoh journey was him reinforcing all the time to Paul how important the bond between trainer and pokemon is. Fair enough, I like him for that, I do agree but I find it incredibly rude and dumb that he goes from region to region, catches a lot of pokemons and then just leave them behind at Oak's lab in a completely different region and environment than his pokemons are used to and then he takes off to a new region, not even feeling bad for leaving a majority of his pokemons behind for no reason after he's catching them with the intent on "becoming strong together".
I just finished watching the last episode of the B/W anime and I expected my poor boy Oshawott (he stole my heart) to be dramatically crying and whining about Ash leaving, something similar to when he said goodbye to Meloetta because Oshawott was dependent on Ash as a trainer, and just wanted to please him. However, Ash basically lets them out of their pokeballs, thanks them for their effort, and said that their journey had made them all stronger together. He even says that as long as they're all together, they can't lose. Then he shares his dreams on becoming a pokemon master and his Unova pokemons mutually agree as if they're going to achieve this dream together, however, then he apparently tells only Pikachu that they're off to a new region in front of all his pokemons and later that episode runs off without a proper goodbye? I'd expect him to somehow explain to Oshawott why he was left behind because the Oshawott we got to learn in the anime would never just let Ash go (unless there was something romantic in the picture like that other Oshawott).
I find it so dumb. I mean, I'm ignoring the reasons why the showrunners are leaving everyone except Pikachu behind, but it's still something that annoys me as his Unova team still had a lot of potential to grow stronger together, but apparently, Ash is done with them and leaves them all behind without saying goodbye. I remember poor Aipom follow Ash to the Sinnoh region because she didn't want to be left alone behind, something I'd imagine should apply for more of his pokemons, and then he traded her away.
Yes, it bothers me and I don't know if I should start watching X/Y...
