Do you think Ash will end up being like Wallace?

[Ashfangirl22]

Being a pro in both contests and gyms?
Just poped in my head for some reason.
I can't remember if I already have had a thread like this in the past, so sorry if so.
What do you think?

Ash doesn't seem to be much for contests.

 

[Trainer Yusuf]

He will just participate in some random, plot related contests here and there, from gen to gen.

A la Terracota Unnoffical Contest, Jubilife Contest and Wallace Cup.

 

[GreatLiver]

No. Seeing how he's not a coordinator. He does some contests for fun.

 

[Ashfangirl22]

Was Wallace a coordinator from the start?

 

[Piplup]

Ash is clearly not interested in Contests at all

He participated in Terracota to try it for once and to give him a final battle with May

He participated in Jubilife just because Aipom wanted and that was to hint of the trade (note how instead of Ash letting Aipom participate in Contests, the solution was to GIVE IT to a Coordinator, since Ash isn't one)

Then he said he won't participate in Contests anymore, but Wallace wanted to see Buizel in Contest and then Dawn added that she wasn't able to use Buizel in a Contest before their trade, so Ash participated for them and both Ash and Buizel proved once again that they simply don't care about beauty, they only want "real" battles and get too excited from them to care about anything else

Ash may have the skills for contests (he entered a few of them), but he's clearly not interested in them.

 

[Dawn~]

Never. Ash simply doesn't like contests like that. He'll enjoy it for a change of pace from time to time, but no way will he ever do it like that.

Just see how excited he gets about badges. He's puts way too much effort and concentration into collecting badges to put any of that effort into getting ribbons as well.

 

[CrazyYanmega]

I think that Ash should totally get into contests! Take a break from gyms for a region or two! Maybe get some cool ideas for next challange!

 

[Cascada]

That would be awesome and a nice change for Ash, since contests are awesome.

 

[Masurao]

Ash's battling style does not fit contest at all. That's why he's been so reluctant in the past to join them.

 

[Ashfangirl22]

Never. Ash simply doesn't like contests like that. He'll enjoy it for a change of pace from time to time, but no way will he ever do it like that.

Just see how excited he gets about badges. He's puts way too much effort and concentration into collecting badges to put any of that effort into getting ribbons as well.

Never say never.
He likes gyms and badges right now, but maybe some time down the road he could get into contests like Dawn and May did.

 

[Hellion]

Yeah, I don't see this happening. Everytime he entered a contest, it was either for one of his friends or one of his pokémon, he never expressed interest in them on his own.

Sorry to burst you bubble.

 

[Snake Bandage]

Ash doesn't show enough interest or talent in contests to get very far with them. He's not going to be anything like Wallace in terms of contests, that's for sure.

 

[Dawn~]

Never say never.
He likes gyms and badges right now, but maybe some time down the road he could get into contests like Dawn and May did.

Never say never say never.

Ash just won't do it. He traded Aipom for Buizel for a reason. He doesn't want to do contests. Like I said, no effort left after all he puts forth for Gyms.

While I DO agree it would be cool, since I love contests (I for one wish that they would make contests a bigger deal in the games...) Ash just won't do it. We have the backup characters for contests. [:
