The gender of whoever beats Ash isn't the problem. It's the fact that Ash loses is the problem. The writers can have Ash lose to anyone at the league and whoever watches it isn't going to like it. I've said it multiple times that kids root for their favorite characters - which mostly is the...

The internet nearly exploded when Ash lost at the Kalos league. Also, I'm concerned that even if Ash had astrong female rival who won the league, it's likely she'll be labeled an overpowered Mary Sue making Ash lose. The Alain hate increased particularly after the league, and it is certainly...
