But regardless Clemon is my favorite male character to have traveled with Ash. Even though Bonnie's running gag of finding him a wife is the same as Brock's running gag of hitting on girls I actually think it's funnier when Bonnie and Clemont are doing this. Clemont is absolutely HILAROUS when revealing his inventions and starts chewing the scenery like no tomorrow only for it to fail and explode in his face (with humorous reactions to boot). He's humble, and began traveling with Ash to gain more confidence and come out of his shell a bit more admiring Ash's confidence, even temporarily leaving the group to return to his gym and reflect on his travels and train to give Ash a battle worthy of being called a "Gym Battle". Clemont like Brock is gym leader and has as much knowledge of Pokémon as he does but he sort of feels more like an equal to Ash than superior like Brock was. Imo the entire XY gang is great and is by far my favorite group Ash has ever traveled with. Clemont - What can I say? I LOVE Clemont. I like Brock but a few other factors hinder him from securing the #1 Position for me even though oh so many people would gladly give it to him.ġ. IT IS funny whenever he hits on other girls constantly but that running gag for me got old after Johto and became less funny as time went on. I do like that he changed his goal from Pokémon Breeder to Pokémon Doctor since in the time he spent with the cast he showcased he was better off a Doctor or Professor rather than a breeder but aside from the last minute change in goals he didn't do much. Brock didn't do much in Johto, less in Hoenn, and even less in Sinnoh. Ash took up the mantle of being May's mentor, and Dawn didn't really need much guidance since she had knowledge of the basics of Pokémon unlike May. He may have gave Ash a few suggestions here and there but nothing really major. At first he served as Ash's Co-Mentor with Misty and was like the cool big brother to him but the same with Misty, he didn't do much once Ash had shown he didn't need him or Misty helping him anymore. Don't get me wrong I do like Brock but what I don't like is flanderization. This is where it was hard to pick a winner and runner up.Ģ. He was just there and didn't accomplish much or be of much help to Ash that I remember. Tracey - Meh, he didn't stand out to me really. Cilan - Like Iris, I can't say much since I haven't seen the Best Wishes series.ģ.
