Ash In The New Pokémon Anime Is A Wimp

Not only does the new anime Ash look different, he’s also a weakling!

Or, better yet, he now has normal ten-year old kid strength. Because in the past, Ash has lifted enormously heavy Pocket Monsters (and other objects) with ease.

Remember this? The kid is carrying a tree trunk like it’s nothing and then THROWING IT.

The scene appeared in a 2006 episode of the Pokémon anime.
