I don't dislike anyone on this list.well I take that back. So this is all MY opinion, if you don't like it.fine with me, but PLEASE be civil about it, and don't take it as a personal attack if I don't like your favorite/favorites more than you do. Anyway this is MY list, MINE/Quasar1007/DecodeTalker/The guy who wrote this blog's list. Keep in mind since the fanbase is so touchy with certain characters and take it as a personal insult if you dare to say ONE negative thing about their favorite character, and will brandish you as a 'hater' if you don't like them as much as they do, or a 'fanboy/girl' if you like a character they don't (Really can't win can you)? Some will go off on a rant/tangent for putting a character they don't like in a higher spot than they think they deserve, and call them overrated when half of the characters on this list are overrated, some in a good way. Regardless I wanted to make a blog/journal giving my ranking on who I think are Ash's best companions/friends (I say friends because he isn't per se traveling in SM at the moment, seriously I figured he would've done so by now, the series is close to it's half way point or we're past it if Generation 8 is being released this year and we've been hanging out on Melemele Island for 85-90% of this series so far). Some of them have been cool characters, some amazing, some are h, while some were just.bad. Anyway over the course of the series Ash has had a lot of friends travel with him (Or in Sun & Moon's case hangout or be associated with him).

So the Pokémon anime has been going on for 20 years and our boy Ash is SOMEHOW still 10 (Seriously he should be like 14 by now at the VERY LEAST).
