Description
So many times it seems like people only look up to those who tear others down. The stereotypical popular kid in school is always the one hurting others, the most popular music artists are the ones who sing angry songs about drugs, sex, and partying. I don't like that. I don't like how as a society we glorify the corrupt.And that's why Ash has been my role model for so long. I don't care if I'm an 18 year old girl, that ten year old kid means a lot to me. The original theme was so inspiring as well. Aside from the famed I want to be the very best like no one ever was , you have other inspiring lyrics: every challenge along the way, with courage I will face. I will battle every day to claim my rightful place. Come with me, the time is right. There's no better team. Arm in arm we'll win the fight, it's always been our dream. What do shows teach kids now-a-days? Cheating others will get you what you want? Self pleasure is more important than the right thing? If something's broke, don't fix it, just get a new one? No wonder our society is the way it is. Although, I guess if kids actually watched real kid's shows they wouldn't be learning that stuff. No, kids these days watch MTV and the like. Personally, I prefer "kid's" shows, because they have lessons that are still applicable in adult life.
Honestly, Pokemon has taught me so much over the years: perseverance when times get rough; optimism when things look grim; fighting for what is right even though what is bad seems easier; friendship is more important than money, power, or fame; don't judge people right away; give people second chances; sometimes the right thing to do will make you cry; courage; loyalty; patience; self-worth; and to never, ever, stop trying to be my very best.
Sigh, oh well, I'll get off my soap box now.

Everything I needed to know in life, I learned from Pokemon. Pokemon taught me more about the morals and friendship than schools ever could and Ash was both the teacher and the student.

You're not alone either.
Ash may be a bit dim and a bit of an idiot, but he would never betray his friends and has helped rehabiliate a few PokΓ©mon that were abandoned by their previous trainers (Charmander, Chimchar and Tepig, now Charizard, Infernape and Pignite). I say that all of Ash's PokΓ©mon are lucky to have an awesome trainer.
I look up to those who believe on doing what is right and stays true to themselves and their friends.

I like how he's not perfect. Sure, he's not the most powerful trainer nor the smartest, but he tries his very best. And he teaches us that love, friendship, and doing the right thing is more important.
I'm glad you agree

Me too.
He's not all Gary Stu or a flawless guy or anything, he has his own faults, which are part of his character and should be part of any character.

Awesomeness Ash is truly a person one can look up to. We learn along with him values that can help us in life.

That's exactly how I feel. The series would be meaningless if he got everything right all the time. He needs to learn about life, and in turn we learn too. That's why I believe Pokemon is such a great show.
