The thing I think that makes Ash a more noteworthy character to include is because he has a much more iconic appearance than Oak does. Anybody would be able to immediately make out who Ash is just by what he was wearing, whereas Oak might take a little bit longer to recognize.

Even though the connection is a bit better, Ash still has a lot more to talk bout than Oak. Oak isn't really even a main character in the franchise, as you really only see him at the very beginning of the game or whenever you use your bike indoors. Material-wise, Ash is a great character to use.

He also represents not just the first generation, but the entire Pokemon franchise from Gen 1 to Sun/Moon. Some of the newer Pokemon players may not even know who Oak is because they haven't played the first games since he's only in Gen 1.

I also feel that Ash vs Darwin makes for a more interesting matchup, just beacuse they are so much more different. Two old guys duking it out about evolution doesn't really pique my interest as much as an old dude and a little kid. It gives a lot more leeway for what they can do and pull off with this amazing suggestion

Although I really like the points you made here, and honestly I don't really care who is used, I just really want Pokemon represented in a battle one way or another :P
