I’ve long felt that friendship level should be explored much more deeply and be at minimum equally impactful as the rest of the stats combined.

Ash is objectively a bad trainer. His ability to befriend Pokémon he trains and coaches in a talentless manner transcends the rest (except for every time he reaches a final).

The power of friendship and bonding with companion creatures is the main thing about the show.
