So you count these inconsistencies of ash's character in bw as an actual part of his character?
He has been in front of a camera a few times before that and he did not show any sign of being 'camera shy' heck all the leagues he entered before were being filmed!
You've clearly haven't watched the filler episode. They were acting and Ash wasn't comfortable on camera, if you don't know what camera shy is then I suggest you look it up. Also, Ash's League battle may have been filmed but he didn't have to dress up, have a big camera up in his face, lines to remember, and act a different way. And I doubt he was even aware nor thinking of his battles being filmed. He's used to large crowds. Also, can you point out the inconsistencies in Ash's character that BW bastardized? Last time I checked, people would say Ash barely showed any character outside of being happy, mature, confident, and loves food and battling.
Don't even get me started on the Homika battle and how out of a character Ash was in that instance(and bw in general)he was about to give up in a fight that was in his advantage(being a 3vs6 and a pecha berry free)while in DP he was left 5vs1,one of them being a legendary and still did not give up and thats the kind of person ash is after not giving up even in such a hopeless situation as the tobias battle?
You're clearly pointing out a Gym battle whom the Gym Leader showed mercy onto with a completely different battle of its own status. As many problems as the Homika battle had, this isn't a fair comparison. Ash was of a different mind and team at each battle. What's different is that he knew that he was losing to Homika's team and thought that there was no point in battling at all even though he still had a chance of winning. Something that Ash himself had a philosophy of believing yet almost gave up in that instant. Quit comparing a
LEAGUE battle to a
filler episode or
GYM battle.
Also more Pokémon /= automatic win. Especially Ash's BW team mind you.
One series needs to be claimed to be the most unpopular under the fanbase like DP is claimed to be the best pokemon series. So what to say? While Johto was more worse, the nostalgia and the fact that OS already ended more than a decade ago somehow saved it from the fanbase. From the newer generations (4-6 or even 3-6), BW is probably the worst series. Just wait until SM ends if the series will end up being as weak and the fanbase will focus onto SM in saying how bad the series is.
All opinion based. BW really isn't the horrible series that some of you make it out to be. Had Ash not have been reset, most people would be playing a different tune. BW seemed more comedy/slice of life than actual action/adventure since we learned more of what the traveling companions did with their time. It seemed like the less serious saga of the bunch. It doesn't make it the worst but of course it had its problems. Sorry that the 10 year old Ash is childish and acted like his age in BW.
What on earth does this whole discussion have to do with the episode?
Absolutely nothing.
