Whether the fans like it or not, the best big group/cast will always be Alola, because it was planned that way, each of the characters brings something to the group without overcoming the others, I mean even though Ash was the protagonist he was simply one more of the group, while with his other friends he took the role of the naive rookie (Misty, Brock, and repeating with Cylan and Iris), the mentor (May and Dawn), the leader (Citron, Serena, and Bonnie) always standing out, except with Chloe and Goh where he takes a more secondary role as the goofy veteran.
In short, those characters worked with the group dynamics they had, changing it would only ruin their appeal and you would only have people complaining about each character's screentime, It's like having a group of superstars on your team, but none of them knows how to do teamwork.
