People need to get over time not passing

[flamebeam]

ok guys, just stating my opinion and reasons, lime the thread asks

Once again, he can't have teen problems if he's not a teen. And these internal conflicts would probably shift the focus away from Ash's journey as a trainer and the Pokemon.

im saying if time had passed, he WOULD be a teen and THEREFORE have teen problems

People need to stop being so butthurt about it and deal with it.

WHOA. im not "butthurt" its something i want but not to the point that i'll cry over it

Also if Ash retained ALL of his "experiences" from 15 years of Pokemon, he'd already be an expert that would know exactly what to do in every situation. If that was the case, he might as well take all of his strongest Pokemon like Charizard and Sceptile with him to the next region from the start.

i shouldve mentioned this before but i think the age formula should be one year older per region

It's ok to want something aimed at an older audience, but when people start saying a change is needed is when you become selfish.

im glad u said that because i never said "needed"

Then you need to get over it.

excuse me, but if i personally feel that ash should age, its my opinon, and thats ok. get over me getting over it

He's 10 years old what's so hard to understand about that?

if he aged he wouldnt be 10, whats so hard to understand about that?

Remember the younger audiences don't care about Ash's past experiences.

the younger audiences watch because they see cool animals beat each other up with colorful attacks. they could care less about the plot and, furthermore, ash's past experiences

When I first heard about BW, I heard rumors that Ash was going to be replaced. At first I was like UNACCEPTABLE THEY CAN NEVER REPLACE HIM! But now...Yeeaaahhh...I think they should replace him now.... What they should have done was make the main character his son or maybe even set it into the future to where he becomes a champion.

Really? That's one of the less odd suggestions I've seen for a new protagonist.

Honestly, I've never had much a problem with time not passing. To me, it was never something that prevent me to like the series.

The only thing I think could be better handled is how the writers handle the "reset" they have to make in Ash and Pikachu. But overall, I don't mind with Ash staying as a 10 year old.

Time not really passing only works in shows like the Simpsons because it's a sitcom with little to no ongoing plot.

That doesn't work in Pokemon because they aren't truly resetting everything once a generation is over.

Ash has been to Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Kanto again, Sinnoh and Unova all in less then a year? That's an insane amount of time compression
