God I fucking hate that autistic obsession with repeating up the same story with the same characters. If you want to follow the game gang's adventures play the fucking games and I say this as someone who loves the game gang.
Surely I'd watch a show focused in them and I like seeing them animated from time to time. But I get the anime staff wanting to show a different take on the Pokéverse with a familiar cameo here and there. That's a lot less restrictive.
All the classic game-based anime characters you're familiar with are essentially OCs with a familiar skin, because for the longest time game characters hardly had any personality or development. Brock's horniness? OC. His entire family? OCs. Misty's fear of bugs? OC. May's bond with Manaphy? OC, they weren't even in the same fucking game. Dawn's Coordinator dreams? OC. Almost everything except their design is OC, Ash himself is an OC. You can't even make an anime without it being 90% OC.
