Someone bring Palkia back for a special episode, or Arceus, send Ash to the game realm, and have him see how pathetic he is compared to his most awesome of epicness and masterful counterpart Red. Because if they were to fight Ash would see just how much he needs to grow up...as well as get a better wardrobe designer
Saw the XY anime trailer, and in it, it shows a somewhat mature looking Ash. Looks a bit badass with some explosions, but eh. Not gonna get my hopes up. (since the show is aimed towards children and we're way past that level)
Except Ash is probably in the same canon (not at the same time) because the Zoroark movie was canon to the games.
