Does anyone else notice that Ash seems to be less confident when it comes to Gym battles?

Does anyone else notice that Ash seems to be less confident when it comes to Gym battles? I don't really think he's less confident, but whenever he struggles in XY gym battles it's more visible than before. On a side note, I'm predicting Ash will lose at least one of the last three gym battles. Probably Valerie since she has a new typing. Though the XY animation is phenomenal, I kinda like the Sinnoh battle strategies a lot more; anyone else agree? Those were artistic days of Ice Aqua Jet, and the Countershield, Spin Dodge. So far XY had strategies such as Rock Tomb Climb, Double Team spam, and dancing. The Rock Tomb Climb was okay, but dancing? Really? I know it's necessary because of Tierno, but come on....

Also, it seems the resolution of Ash's Gym battles in XY seem quickly resolved. The build-up from the beginning gives some investment, but once it's over you're like... huh. Don't know what to think of that.
So far, only the Korrina Gym Battle excited me despite Pika being the last ace since 2 Gyms ago. The Clemont Gym battle could use... an episode and a half at least.

Not the same Ash from OS-DP. XY Ash is too focused on battling and all. I mean even if DP Ash was serious and all, he still retained his sense of humor from OS and AG to a large extent. XY Ash just cares about battling and winning the league. But at least he is acting like Dawn in a way.

He was more focus on battles and to his companion!!! In DP he never left them outside of his practice in XY and XYZ he`s doing everything by himself!!! He might be a badass in those seasons but he also is to lonely!!! Have you felt it?

This version of Ash, along with the D/P version are the versions of Ash ever, in my opinion.

XY Ash just cares about battling and winning the league. This is why XY Ash is my absolute least favorite Ash. He lost almost all of his personality. Very boring. Thank goodness SM brought it back.

Hmmm that is an opinion I haven't heard much. Do you have any other reasons why? I haven't watched XY in a while, I only remember the XYZ saga

PikaFUSIONOh, when I said XY Ash I meant the whole series, including XYZ. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. XY Ash was a “battle drone” without much else going for him. He felt artificial…watered down. I personally felt he was more himself, and more fun, in BW. Sure, the XY series was going for a more mature, serious Ash. But AG and DP did the same while still retaining his fun personality. Sure, he was a “badass” in XY. But it was all mainly in the epic poses, camera angles, and more mature art style. All outward stuff. His strategies weren’t all that innovative, as much as I remember. His gym battles were forgettable. I personally found the battles in BW more entertaining and still remember them, even though he was kind of in a funk. I mentioned SM because his enthusiastic personality returned, with a little bit of the ‘class clown’ vibe added in to fit the tone of that series. He was all around a lot more fun/entertaining, but still experienced and showed innovative/interesting strategies in his battles in Alola. By comparison, XY Ash felt bland and pretentious. I’m one of those who much prefers everything about SM (the art style, animation, tone, premise, etc.) to XY. Lol, I could go on…I’m full of unpopular opinions like this. There’s a way to write a more mature Ash (AG and DP); XY is not it.
