Pokemon: A Side-by-Side Comparison, This Ash Is Brutal

The Dual Ranking System descends, comparing “Ash” from two parallel worlds.

Original Ash: Master of releasing Pokemon, master of type disadvantages, forever ten years old, wins through shouting, releases Butterfree, Pidgeot, Lapras... The whole point is to leave everyone with regrets!

Dark Ash: A resource plunderer, a master of underhanded tactics, a believer in overwhelming firepower, and a legendary Pokemon hunter!

While original Ash is still crying over parting ways, dark Ash has already planted his foot on Rayquaza!

While original Ash is still scraping out narrow wins through the power of bonds, dark Ash's Tyranitar has unleashed a sandstorm and is wiping out the whole field!

He reigns supreme in the Charizard Valley, hunts down poachers at Mt. Silver, and forcibly slays gods in the Orange Islands...

Cynthia: “How is that a Pokemon Trainer? He's a monster in human skin!”

Leon: “In front of his Charizard, my Dynamax form is a joke!”

Giovanni: “Close the Viridian Gym! This Ash is Team Rocket's greatest nightmare!”

Everyone is stunned: Please, stop taking things so seriously. This is what a true Pokémon Master looks like!
