What do you want in a lead male hero character?
You want them to be heoric, that is a given. You want to be funny?, you want them to be serious?, you want them to be invinsible?, or to lose a lot so the story is more believeable?
For me I need a personality that is natural, and not contribe and robotic. I want some unpredectablity in what they might do or say.
It is one of things of why I like Digimon better than Pokemon. Compare all of the goggle kiRAB (except for Masaru, not only does not wear goggles, he actully falls into that category of a robotic personality) to Ash Ketchem. I am only only going by the dub, I never seen much of Pokemon in Japanese. Ash was okay in the beginning, but for the longest time, he sounRAB like a robot. I know exactly what he is going to say, he doesn't have any emotions and anytime he does show emotions it seems very forced. But maybe it is just the dub.
Taichi and Takato they have had their ups and down emotional and their will to fight as their ups and down. Ash spirit is never down, and his cluelessness to girls and romance when its around him weather his Pokemon falling in love or Brock and his flirtation with girls and he doesn't understand what is going on, that irrates me a bit.
Now if I can compare Shonen, because of what I mention I prefer Edward Eleric over Ichigo and Naruto. Ed personality is more relatable and real to me. He seems more real and natural than Naruto and lately Ichigo. More so Naruto than Ichigo, I like Ichgio especially in the beginning though he has regressed as a character. Naruto is the Shonen Ash, he is so predectable in what he is going to do or say in a situation.
And I said the word "hero" in the title thread for a reason, this is not about anti heros or villanious protagonist like Light or Lelouch, they are a different cup of tea. You really can't compare them to normal lead characters.
