>>52680032>Ugh when are they going to have a new main character for the anime? I'm sick of seeing that forever 10-year old Ash and Pikachu. We need new blood because it's getting oldThis is correct. They should've retired him as protagonist on two occasions (end of OS and DP), yet they chose to have him stick around for 25 years and keep rebooting his character. Retiring Ash is a far better compromise than having another Best Wishes scenario.
>WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH WHY ARE THEY REPLACING ASH AND PIKACHU?!?! WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GEN Z TIK TOK GIRL AND HER ZOOMER BROCCOLI HAIR BROWN SKIN BOYFRIEND? THEY'RE LITERALLY KILLING MY CHILDHOOD REEEEEEEEEEThis is incorrect. Introducing new characters to keep the anime fresh has worked well for many other franchises. It also makes the struggle for said characters much more believable and interesting when they're new trainers and not world champions. Replacing Ash with a loli MC is a net positive in my eyes.
