>imagine scenario where they do the "new protag for every region"
Is it wrong that if they hadn't decide to keep Ash, the anime would gotten a little worse? If Calem was the protag and they do the whole romance thing, I thought it would bore me. Not to mention that if Ash did win the Kanto League or stop at Orange Islands, I would thought the writers are giving him too much slack.
Of course, if they did decide to do new protags, the anime would been less repetitive.
