I Rank Ash's Companions In Pokemon... 

Thanks for having me on Gooey! Tracey gets too much hate 🤧 I’ll be waiting for yall in the Pokémon Chronicles review series 💛

brock and dawn being the best companions exactly someone gets it

Finally someone who appreciates Dawn as one of ashs best Companions!

Before I started the video, I told myself that it is almost impossible not to put Brock at number 1. Yes, his gags with beautiful women was sometimes annoying but he was there for Ash from the get-go - cooked him food, protected him, took care of his Pokemon, and supported Ash all the way.

Chloe's biggest weakness was eevee. First of all, another female companion owning an eevee. But secondly, her struggle of finding her path while others pressured her to be something she didn't want to be (or more of just hadn't decided) was pretty fine. I get it, Serena also had the same struggle at first with an eevee of her own and a mother that forced her to become a rhyhorn racer; but Chloe had an eevee that couldn't evolve which mirrors Chloe's struggle (speaking of mirror, why is everyone so surprised with eevee using mimic?) compared to Serena who *did* find her dream and her eevee evolving to sylveon. So, Chloe and eevee get some episodes where they meet the eeveelutions, which were actually pretty fine. But they all focuesd on eevee and never Chloe. It was then in the -Prof. Cerise- Chloe episode where she did decide her path. A pokemon researcher. For fu- why? This was the same career everyone forced her to take and it felt like she just gave in. Like they "developed" her so badly that when Goh and Ash are finally nearing their goals, they remembered Chloe still has crap and just went for the quick escape. When she got eevee, not only did she NOT have any development, but she left yamper behind. Yamper, Wanpachi, the pokemon that she bonded with first. The one she adorably holds in her arms in the first opening and before she leaves for school. Yamper, the one that only listened to Chloe and no one else when Gengar attacked, was left behind.

May is my favorite one. Her battle style was like ash and I loved it. I hope she appears on Journeys before it ends.

Serena, Brock and clement are my personal fav

My ranking: 18. Max 17. Tracy 16. Chloe 15. Sophocles 14. Lana 13. Mallow 12 Goh 11. Cilan 10. Kiawe 9. Clemont 8. Bonnie 7. Iris 6. Lillie 5. May 4. Misty 3. Serena 2. Brock 1. Dawn

Brock and Dawn will always be the best with Croagunk and Piplup-their humor is just unparalleled. They even brought them both back for the Legends: Arceus special in Journeys. I just wish Brock had more character development outside of the first few episodes he joined. I'd have to then say that Iris with Emolga & Axew and Misty with Psyduck & Togepi are close for 3rd and 4th with all their entertaining antics and good chemistry with Ash Then in 5th is Serena with Eevee for their whole oblivious crush dynamic and figuring out her goals I also like Goh and Kiawe's chemistry with Ash, so they'd have to be in 6th/7th for me as well. May and Clement are the last two I actually like watching, they're just not as fun to watch than the others I've listed. All the others I'm kind of neutral about.

Brock the King 🤴 and Dawn the Queen 👸 of Ash Companions

Brock is 100% He is far beyond a peak companion Like you said he is THE companion And Serena in 3rd and Dawn in 2nd is logical And I get it

Dawn and Brock on the places they deserve. High quality content

i love how he said BROCK sooo loudly

A list that I have 0 problems with. Never thought this could be reality.

Finally, someone who appreciates the guys! They’re ALL underrated and I will accept their placements, poor Sophocles though really didn’t stand a chance… well, I’ll wait for that Goh video and take your time on making it!!!

This is honeslty pretty accurate. I hated how annoying Iris was in black and white but then bringing her back in journeys made me like her a lil more. But dawn and Brock will always be top companions and Serena is amazing and all. But dawn is just better. Nobody can top Brock he’s a jack of all trades

I think the absolute apex of Brock character development would be if he somehow manages to marry a Nurse Joy. It's totally intuitive too. He's a Pokemon doctor and most Pokemon Doctors have a Nurse Joy working with him. If Brock can finally overcome being a creep and form a genuine connect with a Nurse Joy to marry her, it would be the ultimate character arc!

Great video. Brock, Dawn and Serena are my favorites!

My problem with Tracy isnt the character himself. Tracy is actually a pretty chill dude. My problem is WHY he exists. He literally exists because the animators thought Brock was some sort of racial stereotype and needed to be completely replaced because apparently theres something HORRIBLY wrong with being darker skinned and having squinting almond shaped eyes (kinda..?)

I don't see it getting talked a lot but one of the reasons Dawn was such a great companion for me was her chemistry with Ash. They're very similar to each other in many ways, one of it is that they are goal driven and it helps that their goals can overlap, throughout the series we constantly see them training and sharing ideas and even perfecting those ideas. Dawn and Ash's personality are also alike. They're optimistic, kind, and innovative but also reckless and doesn't think too far ahead before doing something. That's why Brock is there to ground them. The way I would describe it is like if Ash was going on about something "boom shaka laka" Dawn would get it. When Dawn holds her hand up Ash knows it means a high five. Best friends.

I so happy with the top three. Exactly where I would’ve put them. I enjoyed all three during their respective series and would love to see more of them

Okay so, I can't wait to see that Goh video! I love him ❤️ I quite like your place for him, but for someone who hasn't watched all the series of Pokemon, then I would say 1st hehe 😣💖 Anyways, this was so good! You're vides are so much more entertaining . To watch, than some others, well done!

I loved when you inserted pokeferlax’s voice in background when you talked about lillie! Uou could make a video with him aswell it would be fun

i found this video hella late because i decided to get into my pokemon era once again and i couldnt agree more, great video!

I would love to see Serena return as Teralization would be a perfect gimmick for Pokemon Contests and their contemporaries from the anime (Pokemon Showcases) and Arven becomes the next Brock or we get Brock back entirely

Bonnie is the only character that is responsible for a death in anime. Man Giovanni and Rose should learn a thing or two from her

Tbh Chloe was an interesting development companion (like Lillie)as she has her own episodes to develop her life however most of the time we just see her left out because of goh and ash being crazy over Pokémon 😂😂

I think my list would go: 18. Tracey - Never got how people like him tbh 17. Sophocles - suffers most from the overfilled roster of SM 16. Lana - Discount Misty 15. Chloe - Is she an actual companion though? 14. Max - Annoying at first but he grew on me... I was also convinced Sawyer was Max until his official introduction. That did upset me 13. Cilian - He's comic relief... he maybe funny but I need more than funny (looking at you SM) 12. Lillie - The hog off the SM cast... unfortunately, she just like any previous Poke Girl. Can't touch pokemon? (May didn't like them). Mother issues (Misty had her sisters and Serena with her own mum). Supportive little sister to Ash? (Oh, hi Dawn). She's just a repeat and uninteresting to me. 11. Goh - He had potential but some stuff I don't like... I feel like this could be personal preferences (like him catching Pokemon) but given he's the only companion in the current anime, I feel like he could do a lot more. 10. Kiawe - He's like Cilian but funnier and just more entertaining. 9. Mallow - Yep... Mallow is my favourite of SM companions... deal with it. Mostly because of the mother episode... only companion I've actually cried over. 8. Misty - She had a lot of potential but never really lived up to it IMO. If she had something like Iris in Journeys, maybe even becoming part of Kanto's E4, I could put her higher. Nostalgia is why she got this high already. 7. Iris - I put her higher than Misty... because of Journeys. I consider Journey's portrayal to confirm her character and strength. If not for Journey's, she would be much lower 6. Clemont - I love this guy, he's funny but strong and a part of one of the best gym matches anywhere. Just sad he didn't do much story-wise after the fifth gym in Kalos 5. Bonnie - Yes. She is in the top 5. Why? Because she had one of the best growth in the series. Is just likeable despite being a kid and she killed someone... deffo top 5 material 4. Dawn - Put the pitchforks down. I like Dawn but a lot of what I like is based on previous companions. The relationship she had with Ash? Grew off his character arc in AG, where he learnt to be a mentor but more supportive. She had a great losing arc... but they repeated in the same series (DP). She is great but I can't put her higher up 3. May - I feel like she is the most underappreciated companion, being the middle child between oldest Misty and fan favourite Dawn. She tugged on the heartstrings during the Manaphy movie and set the groundwork for companions with goals in the future... maybe I just feel like AG was underappreciated in general. 2. Serena - Yes, I like Serena. Can her fan base be annoying? Yes, but I can separate art from art fans. BW is when I was falling out of the series but my friend encouraged me to check out XY. As someone who didn't know what they wanted to do, she gave me a lot of inspiration and I kinda grew up alongside this series. With her having one of the fullest character arcs I've seen in this anime. 1. Brock - Do I even need to explain this one?

Man I can't believe it but this list is literally the greatest tier list I've seen😻👍👍 I would have totally put Lillie lower on this tierlist because of my hate for her😡 But this video captured the true vision I couldn't see😊😊

Finally someone gave dawn her props for her part in the counter shield

Pretty good ranking, only change would be putting max higher cuz as u said, he was much more tolerable in the second half of AG, and honestly i enjoyed him more than May

Goh isn’t perfect but I like watching him and Ash vibe, and I just relate to his androgynous style lol

Keep up the amazing videos because I always watch your videos a lot

I love serena I’m so glad she came in #3 she’s so cool 😍😍

Nice video keep this up

Cool editing

finally Iris and Cilan are not low

Your list is so valid. In my eyes May will always be my favorite companion next to Brock. She's so underrated as a character. I dare say she gets overshadowed by the popularity Misty, Dawn and Serena have even though she is just as great as them.

loved your list just a slight change for me misty would be a no 2

SERENA ABOVE MISTY???

Serena has to be one of if not the best of Ash’s companions. Yes, I might be an amourshipper, and that might be seen as unfair, but her character development, characteristic, and everything. I absolutely love her character. And another character I’m excited and hope to see In the future is Arven! He has a really cool background in S&V, and I’d love to see it in the anime. Anyways, that’s my little rant done.

My top 5 companions are: 1) Pikachu 2) Dawn 3) Goh 4) Brock 5) Lillie

This video confirms why Gooey is the best PokeTuber. This is also the first video I've watched from your channel 😂

Man, I love gooey❤❤😅

Good video 😊 🎉

Very good video! I liked your top. Goh in seventh place surprised me! I can't wait to see your video on Goh! But if I have something to advise you it's to interact more with your guest if it doesn't look like two videos combined in one. If you interacted more with your guest we would feel more connection with the guest!

I agree for all of ur rankings

Goh has by far the best chemistry with Ash. They give such genuine best friend vibes which makes him a great companion. I loved how relatable of a character they made him and how they had Ash help bring him out of his shell and become a happier person. I feel like he should be higher.

“But they were never as funny, or savage as B R O C K”

Great list! Personally I would have ranked some of the Alola characters higher (except the fat kid) but very good opinions in this video, especially not putting Tracy in last place was an awesome move because he's pretty chill

Just asking, are we sure Chloe is one of Ash's travel companions ?? Because she did travel with Ash late and she travels with Ash and Goh once in a while not all the time like Goh who travels with Ash a lot more.

As a Unova fan, I have a simple question: Why the hell is goh above both Iris and Cilan?!?

OKAY THIS IS ABSOLUTELY VALID

For someone who was pretty much surrounded by Pokémon Black and white which is also what got me into Pokémon in the first place I honestly think Cilan was better than where he was I wanna say atleast 11 but where you put iris was perfect, from what ive seen of the Pokémon community most people hate iris or just black and white in general so at least they get the love they deserve

Amaze

top 5 is totally the top 5 i expected in the exact order lmao

I was so confused that Dawn was 2nd until I realised that there are also male companions xddd. So I approve of this list as Brock is the original companion and Ash's best friend while Dawn is the best girl so she deserves to be 2nd of all and 1st of females. Your list is perfect and you deserve my like.

The thumbnail was about to make me rage😂

I am an amourshipper but i can appreciate dawn she is like the best friend you need in your life and broke is literally Ash's father figure in the early series

I’ve seen Pokémon through dvd with the misty and may era My era was the dawn era which is why dawn has a special place in my heart

I like gladian best Sun and moon is My favorite series and every episode he was in was super good! And it was super intense when ash and him Fought in the finale of the alola league!

Thats why I say DP TRIO is the best..OG TRIO Is memories..but DP TRIO IS STILL THE BEST...S TIER GROUP🔷

Hey, what website did you use to watch pokemon?

You forgot to mention the reason why Mallow is so sweet and like the big sister to the group is because she grew up without a mother so she wanted to make them feel loved and nurturing

this vid couldn’t agree more

I agree due to Chloe placement well done

My pitchforks have been raised. Sophocles, when he got character development, got such good character development it made up for the lack of it. And that can be said for all the Sun and Moon characters.

I love cilan, and thanks to journeys I love iris to now

When in season 13 Brock and Ash actually say goodbye like total bros it hit hard, Brock has never been the same since 😭 (ya know, he got fucked up art style in sun and moon)

At least Lillie made it near the middle

Goh 100000/10 butt thanks for the buff 💪🏽

Brock and Misty were both also coaches for Ash mainly through his Indigo Run

This explains pretty well why gen 4 anime is my favorite (also the one I last finished watching)

Goh supremacy

Clement is my favourite because well................. I like science

Oh boy. Brock, the cook, the breeder, the doctor. Brock is also a very skilled trainer. He has almost perfect strategy and knows what exactly to do in any battles. Be it to surrender or to fight lol. The thing is, he knows his strength and weaknesses. It’s implied with how powerful his pokemon are in that Arcues special, he is no slouch in training. Or at least maintaining a decent strength of his pokemon just in case they had to battle.

I love the idea of *insert soon-to-be-youngestchampionintheworld name* of bsing the ned kalos Queen! She honestly is an amazing character!

Yeah don’t messed with the chad Brock guys

8:36 To answer your question, I at least look at the number ratings lol but I see looking at the audience retention for this video (only works in desktop mode), this part in particular is the most watched moment. Rest in peace Ash's companions that are not Serena ;-;

Dawn is the only pokegirl who can have her own anime

I like Chloe cuz she finally understood that Darkrai isnt bad

My top favourites will always be - Takeshi Kenji Citron & Yūrika Gō Dent Satoshi's beloveds - Kasumi Airisu Rīrie Serena Haruka Hikari

for a moment I was angry that Serena was in 3rd and then I remembered, Dawn hadn't appeared yet (I had no doubt about Broke being 1st place). And while I would switch some places, I agree with your list

Here’s my opinion on Ash’s Companions. Misty: Amazing Brock: Amazing Tracy: Good May: Amazing Max: Amazing Dawn: Amazing Iris: Amazing Cilan: Amazing Clemont: Great Bonnie: Great Serena: Amazing Lana: Good Mallow: Good Lillie: Good Kiawe: Good Sophocles: Decent Goh: Great Chloe: Great

misty, brock, may, dawn and clemont are high on the list. Also cilan isnt put low on the list. Im satisfied

Finally someone who likes Iris!! Her and Dawn are my favorites!!

You have been trusted with the drying pan

Dawn was the on,y companion who cheered for ash in person when he was against Leon

Brock and Dawn are the best companions for me

I love how Serena x Ash companions about they are together but most able pokegirls are teasing Serena about loving Ash

Goodra is in my top 5 fav sudo legendary!

6:56 May is similar to Lillie in a way as they both started out not liking Pokemon

Just personal opinion here, I would putax in cilans spot. It's a great list overall I just think max had way more to offer with what little screen time we got with him vs cilan

this is maybe the first time i've seen someone have a correct opinion on this. dawn & brock at the top of the list as they should be

I don't think I would change your list at all. But Serena is still my personal favorite. Ok maybe Tracy should be knocked down a peg and Lillie up a peg. Your reasoning was fair though. Great list though!

Ash's Number 1 companion: '' Jelly Filled Donuts!''

"Clemont" the science guy!

2:30 also Mallow is the first and only female chef

before i watch this imma hope kiawe is high on this list

May will always be my favourite companion she had one of the best character arcs and development
