>>5509384The problem with rebooting pokemon is you would be hard pressed to give Gremlin a chance if you found a powerful ralts who happened to be your old starter. Or even inverse because you want to do something new so badly youd neglect old characters to avoid falling into a rut.
So the only way to free people from the need to treat every weedle as bedbug, (or have to go out and look for a weedle) is to humanize all your old pokemon.
Also I already did this before for a april fools episode that was super cute and everyone totally liked. The daycare one.
