Yes, it is. I see it quite often in the Youtube comments, and given the mass amount of comments their videos get, that's basically on terms with it being very popular.

I will agree that Ash isn't on term in huge accomplishments with Darwin and isn't on the same level of influence as him, but I still think he's the best opponent for Darwin at all. And I agree that evolution shouldn't be the main connection for Ash and Darwin, even though it's what brought the two as opponents together. Both Darwin and Ash travel the world, encountering and cataloguing new species of animals, and do essentially "experience" evolution up close. That's their connection. The "masters of evolution" concept is misleading, since neither are masters of evolution. And evolution is quite a huge part of Pokemon, in fact. Pokemon is hugely focused on the "catch them all" concept, filling up the Pokedex, etc. Evolution is a key part in being able to complete the Pokedex and obtain certain Pokemon. As well, Ash is absolutely worthy. Pokemon is the second best selling video game franchise overall, and Ash is the best representative for Pokemon.
