>>28651948I share the sentiment but, to be honest selfishly, I would rather how things turned out.
I could sit here all day talking about how the anime went wrong and where they could have done it better but generally I love the world the franchise has created.
Pokémon seems to me to be the anime equivalent of comfort food, one of my favourite episodes to go back and watch when I'm feeling under the weather is the one in Johto where Brock is sick and Ash and Misty have to assume his duties for the time being.
While the anime would have been better if they had of stuck to their guns on the plot and not allowed it to be turned into a hulking zombie that refuses to end and serves to advertise games and churn out a steady source of money it's highly unlikely that /vp/ would even exist and maybe even the games for that matter, both game and anime serve to prop each other up in a way(at least I think so).
