>>52694477Literally all the Ash-less OVAs like Generations are lliked more than the main anime itself with countless people asking why can't the main show be like them, which had become a joke since the 2000s because of how stale and repetitive Ash's anime was. Ash not aging and still being the protagonist was the biggest running joke for everyone who had sanely abandoned the show when they grew up. Quite literally the only piece of news related to the anime that those people cared about was him winning the pokemon league at last, which was another running joke.
