Are all of the Ashley appearences leading up to something?

How could you say No to a face like this? You just can't!

Look at her design, it really sticks out from Nintendo, doesn't it? Now let's not turn this into "Why Ashley shouldn't have been popular" thread.

Face facts, she's just popular. Be happy for her. She wanted her name to be known, so it has been.

I'm not denying she's popular. I'm saying she doesn't deserve to be popular. For a character to be popular because of what they are and how they look is just cheap. She is no better characterized than most of the other characters.
 
Isabelle was designed to be significant within the scope of Animal Crossing, Nikki was designed to be a sort of general mascot character rather than being strictly associated with any franchise, and Ashley...is a sorta-bland cute witch girl from a quirky game about fast-paced microgames and minimal story, in which she has little significance compared to some other characters. They're kinda right that she's being pushed more because of looks than because of her merits as a character or qualifications for being the posterchild of the series. I like her enough as a character, but it is a bit disappointing that she's represented so much more than other characters.
 
Well, opinions are opinions after all. I'm just glad Ashley is getting the attention she always wanted, but is probably shy about it, lol.

"Heard you've been talking smack about me..."
 
I'm willing to agree to disagree but just one last thing. Putting your Ashley fanboyism aside (no offense but that is more or less how you have been acting) how can you really argue that Ashley is a superior character to the rest of the cast?
 
Sorry, I'm just so pumped about this new theme, the Ashley side of me just got a hold again. Well, like you side yourself, she has looks! She has style!

Nothing really makes her superior to the others, everything is opinion based. People just like her more, simple as that. She isn't superior to the other characters per se, it's just most of us like her more and Nintendo knows this.
 
Whoa, that's crazy. I just got on and not a moment past before I got a new note! whoa, this Ashley good luck charm really works! Well, probably not. But the more who know the better!

I can't wait for even more Ashley things to come out, hopefully there will be a 3rd Ashley 3ds theme in a few months, or few weeks actually! Maybe Ashley in Mario spin-off games, maybe Ashley plushies!

I'll take 10 Ash-wee plushies...and another 20 tomorrow. OMG, I'm just so looking forward to the future of Ashley now.

I give this an official score of :ashley: out of :ashley: The best score out there! :ashleymain:

I'd much rather the WarioWare series just die than have these Ashley things that feel like a huge tease.
They may not be too major, but at this point, the frequency of this blatant Ashley fanservice is getting very disrespectful to fans of the actual WW games and its other characters. -

Either you two are the same or Boo said almost exactly what you said for some reason.
 
I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Ashley is a good character.
And so is Mona.
And Jimmy.
And Dribble.
And Spitz.
And 9-Volt.
And 18-Volt.
And Dr. Crygor.
And Orbulon.
And Kat.
And Ana.
And Penny.
And Young Cricket.
And Mike.
And let's not forget the guy without whom none of these characters would exist:
Wario.

Would be neat if we could get a WarioWare theme with all the characters on it instead of just Ashley.

If we get Ashley thing after Ashley thing after Ashley thing it just feels really pandering. Like, they're not doing it because they like Ashley or because they appreciate the fans, they are doing it to earn money. Why did you think they made her a Mii costume in smash? Because you have to pay for it. Why do you think she keeps getting badges in the arcade? So that people spend money on it.
If this was any other character I would feel the same. If it was 9-Volt all the time it would still be pandering, if it was Mona, same way.

The others "deserve" recognition as well.
And don't get me started on Wario Land.

I would possibly agree if any of this got released outside of Japan.

America got the 1 3DS theme. No badges whatsoever of Ashley, but the one set of WarioWare badges. Japanese Nintendo knows she has fans, NoA thinks they should only cater to trying to get the CoD audience and soccer moms back.
 
Well, it's a win win for Ashley fans like myself. We love the little witch. Nintendo see's we love Ashley, we get more Ashley. When we get more Ashley? More people know about Ashley, the more people to know about her? more people to love her! more people loving her? better chances of getting even more Ashley things!

You name it! From being in spin-offs to having plushies! This works out for Nintendo and Ashley fans.

I'm still waiting for those Ashley badges though, just gotta keep on waiting.
