Look at May in the anime who didn't give a shit about Pokemon and just wanted to travel at the beginning, that's a perfectly fine thing it just so happened that she came to love Pokemon and coordinating and found her goal and fulfilment there. Ashs story ended without him becoming a Pokemon Master and that's fine as

This is actually my biggest issue with the Pokemon anime since PM2019. Koharu's mother was a manga artist, Goh's was a coder or some shit, and in the newest series it's about live streaming. The anime should be about adventures and occupations NOT related to things that we experience IRL that we do solo but all the fantastical things that can exist in the Pokemon world that we can do together WITH Pokemon. The existence of Pokemon in the newest series is made worthless as people do jobs WITHOUT Pokemon which is awful and shouldn't exist.
So to round out my thoughts, you don't have to pursue a grand goal in the Pokemon world but a person should be fulfilled in whatever it is they do. That thing that they do should include Pokemon in some fashion because the only thing which seperates real life from the Pokemon world is the existence of Pokemon.
