Do you typically have a problem with the voices of female anime characters? Because her voice wasn't that much different from the voices of other young female characters in the original version, and from what little I heard from the BW dub, her English dub voice wasn't particularly grating. And from what I remember her English catchphrase was a faithful translation of her Japanese catchphrase, so I fail to see the problem there.

A multiple Legendary/Mythical user isn't inherently a "cheating device". It's just the writing that was a complete disaster.

Correct. It's why no one minds Brandon. Him owning legendaries makes sense given his position and role and they're not used just to stop Ash's goals, they also serve to help him develop

XY games are amazing and under-rated
The music in Pokemon games got better starting in XY
SM anime is ew

XY’s game music is the best of the series and Hoenn comes close second

Not thinking twice!
I'll give it to BW tbh, stuff like the gym leader last mon theme or any theme related to N is just amazing. Also counting spinoffs, shoutout to the PMD series, can't decide which specifically I prefer when it comes to music, but they're all awesome

The Winter Special looks awful as they making a joke out of it plus I don’t want to see Dialga vs Palkia again. Even in M10 I was bored by them fighting

Agree
Seems out of place and without any context
How about leganderies we haven’t seen 100000 times, like Clayrax?

Ash was the only one that was drawn different again than the other characters are okay. Forgot one more group was drawn different too and that's Team Rockets look too from the SM look.

Whoever came up with SM artstyle, and especially Ash’s and TR’s in SM, must have a twisted mind

I can't see XY Ash as any less of an "overhaul" of his character as BW/SM/JN. Nothing about BW or OS-DP suggested he was ready to be the leader or a straight-up idol figure. Or even that it was something that ever should happen to him. Should the characters respect him? Yes. Emulate his behavior? Maybe a bit. But actively assert that he's their biggest role model, and their biggest goal is to be worthy of him? Nah.
If that's your cup of tea, more power to you. I realize it is for a lot of people. Hell, even I can enjoy it under certain circumstances. But XYZ makes way too many analogies to literal Jesus Christ for me to see that as classic Ash.

XY Ash: breathes
Sawyer: SATOSHI KUN YOU ARE SO AWESOME
Alain: You’re better than me even though your Greninja jobbed
Clemont and Bonnie: Ash is amazing!
Serena: OMG SATOSHIIIIIII I LOVE YOU PLEASE MARRY ME HAVE MY BABIES
I loved XY’s portrayal as a leader personality but I can see why some people exaggerate how his companions viewed him as as god. In fact the whole point of the snowball scene was Serena realized that Ash isn’t perfect which made her admire him more and fall in love with him.

Ash's companies in XY did treat him like he's Jesus or being worship by him and I don't like that. They don't know the real him that he makes a lot of mistakes from his past or wasn't great at something's he doesn't understand which I like his other companies OS-BW that see the real him which I miss his sassy side as a character.

Ash after DP has been a different dude in every series. Show him to a rando and they will tell you that these are different characters. I like XY Ash, but the sudden shift in his personality is jarring.
