Yeah, right, like Ash is ever going to catch the now 400+ Pokemon out there. This guy doesn't even grow any taller! I only ever liked the guy when Misty was there. Sorry, what I said before was false so that I wouldn't be flamed by insane Ash fangirls. Anyway, there are side shows that don't concern Ketchum. One is Pokemon Chronicles where they show characters that are no longer traveling or in that much contact with Ash (Misty, Tracey, Oak, Gary, etc.). Another is that 1-hr episode about Pokemon Dungeon (it was weird but kind of cute). So, do you still like the original show? Or do you wish there were more episodes of Chronicles? What about Dungeon?
