The "Ash in a Coma Theory"

All I have to do is disprove this theory right? Ok then on to the theory: "Did one ever know the reason why the pacing and story development change after Ash was hit by lightning in the beginning episodes?" Not enough elaboration for me to fully debunk this but anywho. Pacing and story development are the key factors to a successful TV show, imagine the pokemon anime without story development, you're just basically watching someone play the videogame which is plain boring. The reason behind this was because its how people write stories, not some stupid cliche, also the pacing of the show is explained by his suicidal walkabout throughout the lands of Kanto. I'm sure if you were to go on a journey through forests filled with monsters the pacing of your life would change drastically. "How Ash and his world were rela-tively normal until after the incident?" Of course his world was normal, he hadn't begun his journey, almost every series of TV or film has that boring/normal introduction to the world, its only later on that we can truly explore their world for what it is. - The Terminator (Judgement Day!) - LOST (airport scene, obv. crash) - Avatar (Marine dude turned into blue alien thing) - DeathNote (school student turned murderer) - BlackLagoon (office dude turned pirate (whatever)) etc...are some good examples of this "If one had noticed, the early episodes of Pokï¿½- mon were of amazing quality. The rest of the series is just the results of his subconscious mind fulfilling his desires, as well as attempt- ing to escape them. " This is just a bias opinion from the author of the article, not real evidence that supports his theory. "This explains why he doesn't change much physically." How about because its a children's show and no one would put that much thought into something that is designed to entertain 10 year olds, I can't imagine little Timmy screaming "Dis showz been gone for years! wheres Ash's moofstache!" "Also, the worldwide socialism can be explained if you once again realize that this is a dream world; he thought up a safe system of government that would run smoothly and keeps the world going allowing his adventures to work like they do." Unless the author of the article issues a valid system of government that would work in the world of pokemon, this statement means nothing. Compare it the real world, both worlds have a police force, both worlds have hospitals, both worlds have safe systems of government. If Ash's world didn't have a safe system of government that didn't run smoothly, how can you be sure that his world has hospitals? It contradicts itself too much to be taken seriously. "It also explains a few other things, such as how a child can go off on his own in a world full of dangerous untamed animals," He never went on his own, tell me, when has he ever went off on his own? He nearly always has two sidekicks with him, he has his own line-up of experienced pokemon (so do his sidekicks). The above statement makes no sense. "...why every Pokï¿½mon center has the same exact nurse." The animators were too lazy to come up with new designs for her, they were probably busy designing the next-gen of pokemon which is what the series is about, not the nurses, also ever heard of OctoMum? "It's also the reason that every time he enters a new region, virtually no one has heard of him, despite his conquests" The most obvious reason for this is the culture gap. Ever heard of Ahn Jae Wook? Didn't think so, he's a 'Famous' Korean pop singer, yeah that's right, his first album sold over 700,000 copies, but you don't know him. So what is the chance that people would hear about the adventures of a dude who pretty much takes isolated paths when travelling, meeting only isolated people along the way. I think you need 8 badges to challenge the elite four. It's very much possible that hundreds of trainers have conquered them considering how crap of a trainer ash really was at the time, standing toe-to-toe with most of the gym leaders. "This is also why Brock keeps coming back to the series....Usually AFTER Ash meets a new girl aspect of himself.Misty is an image that Ash had of a girl. This is why she plays so prevalently in the series but is ultimately unattainable because he never really knew her before the coma. Likely the one that helped get him to a hospital. I have a theory in line with this: Since Misty was his initial love interest (if only subconsciously), he needed her to reach a level of womanhood. He felt that people could only have relationships when they've matured. But in practice, it turned out he couldn't cope with it and just wanted the normal, pushy, arrogant Misty he knew, and wouldn't let her keep Togepi anymore." Misty travels with ash because they're both aspiring pokemon masters, so, why not? why not travel together because you're both trying to achieve the same thing and along the way, may develop an interest in each other. However she leaves because she fulfilled her dream goal, eventually becoming a gym leader and as such, no longer needed to travel with Ash anymore. He also doesn't want her to have Togepi because he found the egg or some crap like that. "Ash has issues With his Father; so he put him atop the evil corporation, and demonized him. There may be an actual team rocket, and I'm positive they're quite dastardly, but I doubt that ash's father is their leader, in fact the head of the rockets wasn't really identiﬁ ed as anyone until later on in the series. The split between ash's parents was likely over ash's homosexuality and some sort of incident as a catalyst, forcing his father to disown him and his mother to move out of the city and down to pallet town." This contradicts the preceding paragraph, above the author stated that Ash's love interest was Misty, a girl. Now he states that Ash was a Homosexual, not Bisexual, but Homosexual. Also, the more logical theory on his dad is that his dad is lost at sea, possibly residing in the stomach of a Wailord, along with his hand carved puppet that he likes to 'Pinnokiachu.' This theory is so boring and long, I don't think I'll have enough space to debunk the rest of it, but the above annihilates the main cores of the theory and therefore annihilates the rest of it. Now with what I have left I'll propose my own plausible theory: Ash is a fictional character created by Red, this fictional character features prominently in Reds Novel/autobiography. The events of the videogame is true canon, and the anime is a visual idea of the novel that Red wrote, the novel which is based on events that occurred during Red's travels. This explains the similarities between the game and the anime, and between Red and Ash. It would also explain the eccentric traits of the characters, being half fiction and half non-fiction I'd put up a video showing their similarities ingame, but I don't know how to embed youtube videos (anyone?).
