It amazes me that people think Ash fans want him to be glorified by every character as if Paul isn't widely considered his greatest rival.
Yeah lmao I want him to be respected, not glorified.
Also, there's a difference between how you're seen by your rivals/enemies and your friends.
Paul insults him (pre-redemption) and it's fine, he's supposed to make you angry. His friends putting him down all the time leaves a much more sour taste because they're supposed to be his friends.
Meanwhile DP Ash has the lowest win rate out of every Ash and he's my favorite one, because his battles are well-written and his trials make him a better trainer in the process to great effect.
