>>58258235No it was fucking over by this point, an OC take on Green/Blue/Leaf/Girl wouldn't work because the anime staff were all newbie hack frauds that only wanted to work on OCs which is why we keep getting slop like Goh, Chloe, Liko, Roy, etc. The era of the Pokemon anime having an actual effect on how people perceive the franchise is long over and has been over since XYZ when most of the OG staff left
Current PokeAni is leeching off the games' success rather than the other way around back in the early 2000s. A big part of why PokeMania died was because the anime immediately went to shit when Shudo left. Eons of filler in Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh ruined Ash's rep more than his losses back then
