>>51610038This is fucking retarded. The receptions and takes towards Generations, Evolution, Origins, Twilight Wings and Hisui Stories show that Ash isn't needed to carry a show. They just have to stay only half faithful towards the games premise, take their time and are an more positively experience in general. Even Chronicles was in total better than the mid-moments in JN, because they took advantage of all the other characters but Ash to make up a worldbuilding.
Ash could be a fucking Rival or Goalpost for someone else and People would still dig the new character because they get through the pinned.
>>51610050Just use the fucking Manga-versions of the Game MCs and it's a done thing as well, retarded fuck. But I guess that you never even touched a single Pokespe Manga, which are ultimately better for creating a more coherent story across all arcs than Ashnime. The manzai comedians Diamond and Pearl from the DP Manga are top-tier MC material.
