What do you think of Ash's new design from Pokemon Sword and Shield anime?

[Shadao]

Man, I feel like a kriffing idiot for not noticing this sooner.

Ash is wearing Leon's shoes (kind of)!

Oh that's nothing compared to what this Japanese fan found:

I think someone needs a tinfoil.

Already seen this. And I think that some of the connections made by this guy are kind of farfetched (like, how is the Alola-style stylized Poké Ball on Scottie's cap related in any way to the C on Ash's hat? or Chase's shoes, which are clearly a completely different model from the ones Ash wears?).

Honestly, I think the first tweet I saw below this one summarizes this whole conspiracy-style chart pretty well.

I do miss Ash's classic gloves and jeans look, it gave an outdoorsy adventure feel.

I like Go's outfit.

My only praise for Ash's new design is that it looks better than his SuMo design since he doesn't look misshapen, but I wish he had the red shirt that Victor wears.

 

[Leaf_Ranger]

Well, I'd prefer if the design followed B2W2 style but what will be more important is character development, if Ash continues to be a child or learn some lessons and keep it.

 

[DynamicFusion]

I don't like his clothes.

The Design itself is pretty good. I still see more Sun & Moon that M21 in him personally and its more than just the hair. Such as this Sketch looks a lot like SM.

 

[Henry Suarez]

Yup, It's nice.

 

[Cinnabar]

I wasn't sure how I liked it at first, and then I concluded I didn't care for it at all because it made him look a little younger from my point of view, but now I am a bit more fond of it, and am very excited to see more of this.

 

[TheGoldenToon]

I personally like it, but if there's just one thing I'd add is give him his gloves back.

Ash becomes Galar Champion Comfirmed!

It looks like one of those Hoenn Confirmed/Sinnoh Comfirmed memes...

I like the changes they did to his eyes and face, seemingly taking some inspiration from "The Power of Us" for sure. I didn't like it much to begin with and then someone pointed out that it was similar looking to his PJs in X and Y, and now I can't unsee it. It just kinda throws me. It will probably take some time to get used to for sure.

 

[nanoanime]

Well, his eyes are a bit larger as compared to the original design - this makes him looks younger. On the other hand, the Z-marks becomes smaller which, I think, complements well with his eyes.

 

[nickdt]

I don't really like it now, tbh, but its something that i need to warm up to (Especially since we haven't seen any footage of it yet, so it might look different in footage).

 

[CometCartoons]

His design is definitely better than his last design.
