Is it really that popular off wiki?

Either way I thought about it more and I'm fine with it now. I'd thought that the evolution connection was weak since it isn't even that central to the Pokemon series and Ash and Darwin were otherwise nothing alike, but... well, Darwin was sort of a globe traveler cateloging species and theories so he actually fits it rather well. Just with much more emphasis on the theories for him and vastly different tech.

But seriously, Darwin may have been one of the last interdisciplinary titans of science. Man had a theory on basically everything, and half of them are still more or less the accepted version. I'd really prefer him against someone of his own caliber in science but it's not really that bad of a match, I suppose. Gallileo might be better for a similarly influential scientist who ticked off the church, but Ash is... acceptable. But I'm definitely in the eyeroll camp with regards to him being worthy at all.
