Yeah...Ash can be an epic fail sometimes, but he's so innocent I can't hate him?! It's...it's just too amusing watching him fail over and over to hate him! Cilan and his 'equisite flavours' get on my nerves though...and don't get me started on how AWESOME Pikachu is. How can you possibly hate him?! (That was a rehtorical question...because it shouldn't have an answer...)
