Random: Yesterday Was National Ash Ketchum Day, Apparently

Funny how there is an officially National Ash Ketchum Day yet he appearently hasn't aged a day since the beginning of the anime

One of the most annoying and grating protagonists in television history come at me

How to have the best ash ketchum day
1: Get all of your pokemon out of the pokemon center.
2: Make your pokemon gather around.
3 make the curry.
4: injoy with all your pokemon.
did you really think this would end in a joke, Ok here is a joke knock knock, here is there, as, as who? assh ketchup.

@TheFrenchiestFry Literally on what basis?

Goh is proving to be a better heir to the name "Ketchum" if Serebii's frequent character biography updates are anything to go by.

@EliteXeos He talks.

Woo international Ass Catching day!

I thought it was funny he never won until S&M. I love the Pokémon anime. And I’m jealous of the US because I don’t have Teletoon. ):

I'm just gonna leave this here:

A*s Ketchup

How many "National" days does this make? It was cute when there were just a few of them, but this ongoing trend is now just annoying, especially after National Hunting & Fishing Day. I suppose there's a National Ketchup Day as well. 🙄

I became Ash Ketchum during costume day at my school last 2 years (2018). 😏

I've never played a Pokemon game, but I enjoyed Ash Ketchum vs Charles Darwin on Epic Rap Battles of History.

@mariomaster96 It's the anniversary of an accomplishment, him not ageing is irrelevant.

@Tyranexx Ash focuses on battling while Go focuses on catching.

@Zuljaras The only good Red is the one from the Adventures manga. Also, Ash has had a slew of references in the games.

@TheFrenchiestFry That explains literally nothing. Unless you’re watching the dub in which case, that’s your first mistake.

There is a national day for everything these days, doesn’t hurt to have a bit of fun.

Yesterday was also the anniversary of the Battle of Britain where a vastly outnumbered British Royal Air Force defeated a much larger and better equipped Nazi airforce during World War II.

We owe a great debt to those brave souls.

What about Satoshi day?

@EliteXeos

1. Winning a league doesn't undo the overall terrible writing of the character.
2. Seeing that Ash's goal has literally no end in sight, I think Go's being a bit more productive overall in filling out the Pokédex.
3. It's not hard to be a better guy than Ash, which is what Red's done.
4. Ash is horrible in both the original and the dub. His voice is grating because he has far outstayed his welcome in the show.

The best thing that can be done to the Pokémon anime is to let it die.

@EliteXeos Which is all well and good, but didn't one of the first episodes in the anime equate being a Pokemon Master with catching them all? I won't deny Ash has picked up some better Pokemon over the years, but Goh's track record will pass him up at this rate.

I also think you took my comment WAY too seriously.

@Dog Red has done literally NOTHING. Ash has far more accomplishments yet people still lap up Red for being nothing more than a bland, mute self-insert.

And I’m pretty sure that not liking a character’s voice has nothing to do with a character over-staying there welcome. Moot point.

@Tyranexx I took your comment “way” too seriously because I’m an acid fan of the anime, it’s only natural.

That said, a Pokemon Master being someone that catches them all is incorrect and is only a line said in the dub.

That would be my Favorite Day!!!
