Xenon Blue
No Hard Feelings
Since we have been roasting this anime for a while now, let's instead talk about the positives of this anime in general.
* Always part of my childhood/adolescence.
* Battles (Gym battles, rival battles, league conferences, etc)
* All the different Pokemon
* Fun outlet
I believe I completely agree with you here but what do you mean by "Fun Outlet"?
Think fun outlet just refers to what the anime is to him personally. Something fun to watch.
TRio
Seeing Ash battle Gyms *cough*, Rivals, and in Leagues/Tournaments
Seeing Ash's Pokemon arsenal grow and change.... but not shrink. He owns most of the interesting Pokemon ever on the cast.
Ash traveling around regions.... and not just one island.
