Well, that's kinda the point; ya know, to be the main protagonist. He was supposed to be based off of the main character from the Generation 1 games, and he kinda stuck. And despite what I said in my post, he does have fans, just not that many compared to the past.

Besides, I can't THINK of the Pokemon franchise without Ash!! He's the cutest, funniest, awesomest, cutest, kindest, cutest thing! In the WORLD!! I mean, what if they made a new season of Sonic X WITHOUT Sonic in it? It wouldn't seem right!
