>>57823751That's what I would've loved. Could've had Gary, Horace, and Goh set up their own "Project Mew" perhaps funded by the professors from across all the regions, where the three would be tasked with not only researching the origins of Mew, but it's possible relationship/connections with the other legendary/mythical Pokemon, and possibly even Pokemon in general. This would be a journey that would cover all regions, and Ash? Of course the newest world champion would insist on tagging along, in part because his skills as a trainer would come in handy, especially since along the way, the research team is bound to encounter evil organizations, poachers, bad guys in general, and just everyday challenges in general.
Such a series would not only embrace the feeling of adventure, but also heavily explore Pokemon lore, tapping into the plethora of material that exists in the games, manga, anime, etc...
Lots of opportunities to reunite with past characters, introduce new ones, and give ones that never got an anime appearance an opportunity to appear. Same with locations. Same with Pokemon.
And yes, I know there would be complaints about it being a sausage fest being all boys, but there could easily be female rangers, companions, gym leaders, and whatnot that join up with them for episodes and story arcs.
Idk, I'd fucking watch it.
