Ash and him related to legendary heros from the past.

[MistyBrockAsh]

multiple times ash has been identifies as legendary hero or a decendant of a legendary hero. Like in "a different kind of misty" and in the key stone and spirtbomb episode. Is there any importance to this or is this just a accident of repetition because there is so many episodes?

i hope its just the latter because I would like to think Ash is an otherwise 'normal' ten year old because it makes his accomplishments that much more awesome! any big victories he has had or will have in the future will lose some of their luster IMO if it was revealed that he is some sort of super-human decedent of Ho-oh or something.

I think kids can relate to him more and his 'hero' qualities are better if he is made to be somewhat normal.
