That's a load of bull. Why?

'Cuz Ash isn't perfect. That's what makes him awesome. He doesn't always win, which gives him a chance to learn from his mistakes or becomes the perfect setup for a plot twist. Also, even though I said no one likes Ash, I KNOW for a fact he has fans, I just don't know if they're here. And Ash is way more adorable than Red'll EVER BE!!!

Well, not to offend you, but I never really liked Red that much. I grew up with Ash. Red, however, was kinda...boring. He wasn't as charming or funny as Ash, in my opinion.
