I don't believe it. Sure some of these themes and symbolic values may be manifest in Pokemon, but it is certainly to a lesser extent than the person makes it out to be. Yes, Brock is the symbolic adult among the group of companions- every group in a cartoon or video game has one- but that doesn't make him Ash's repressed sexuality. In fact, that makes no sense at all, for Ash expresses his sexuality quite often in the show. Brock isn't there to symbolize any aspect of Ash, he's there to guide him towards being a grownup. That is why he uses rock type Pokemon, he is a rock solid figure for Ash (please don't add in any comments about the thus hidden homosexuality here).

Honestly this person is just having fun bullshitting the hell out of the show.
