My friend sent me this the other day and it literally blew my mind, its crazy that someone would think about Pokemon so in depth and honestly a lot of what this guy says is very true/plausible.
Its a very long read but I encourage everyone to read it. Wait what you still think its too long...SHUT UP AND READ IT FFS.
Pokémon
The Pokémon franchise has spawned numerous titles and spin-offs, spanning several generations of games and has an animated series that spans many seasons.

This is super, super old, but it's nice to see someone rediscovering an internet gem.
Things you may also enjoy:
Fight Club is the story of Calvin and Hobbes, grown-up.
Squall was dead for the majority of the game.

I must admit that since I heard the Ferris Bueller's Fight Club theory, I haven't been able to watch that the same way.
For as great as this kind of painstaking overanalysis truly is, let's not fool ourselves; Pokemon is a dumb, dumb anime that has been going on for about 10 years too long. It's a great read for sure, because people are finding depth that doesn't exist, and I assume the article was written with that kind of tongue-in-cheek tone in mind, but if we want to overanalyze anime there are plenty of other avenues for that.

"Pokemon was good when you were a kid. Of course its gone on too long, why you gotta bring that hate into here.
I cant stop thinking what if "what if this is the truth man"
he's ten he cant go travel the world fighting the wild come on
Oh, man. This is priceless ^_^:
Moving on to the characters closer to him, Ash’s traveling partners are aspects of himself that he can enjoy, but doesn’t like to associate with himself. Brock is Ash’s repressed sexuality. Ash fell into the coma a virgin and needed an outlet for his growing sexual frustrations — since he can never experience sex, Brock must never succeed. But Brock isn’t just a projection of Ash’s sexuality, he is also a projection of Ash’s fatherly instincts. Brock leaves his siblings to journey with Ash because Ash can’t cope with having that much responsibility at his age. Brock’s stay with professor Ivy was an attempt to outright suppress his sexuality. You may notice that James got much more dialogue in this part of the series, as well as getting more touchy-feely with his Pokemon and exposing most of his backstory. Ash didn’t enjoy this much, which is why Brock comes back horrified and refuses to speak about it (Ash’s subconscious was repressing him at the time, so other than a general feeling of dread, he has no idea of what happened). Further evidence of Brock being Ash’s sexuality is that he keeps returning to the series after Ash meets a new girl aspect of himself.
Hole.Ly.Shit.
I cannot accept that Pokemon is really this deep, but it actually explains a lot about the games also.
