>>56213852There's no problem with a generic concept if the execution is good. Do you think the anime M8 would have been better had they replaced Alain with Tobias or Diantha with I don't know Brandon?
No. Tobias would still have been made to massively job to Leon and so would have Brandon.
Shit writing killed the PWC and the M8, not the concept being "generic".
If you're gonna rewrite go all out on it. Full fanservice depending on your mood and likes. Twist the fuck out of it.
>No faggy one gimmick per rule if you can do it you can use it>Steven vs Alan and have Alan pull the upset and to show he surpassed him since Steven was kind of Alan's mentor back then>Diantha didn't even make it she was too busy shooting movies and is instead the announcer alongside I don't know Malva and they bitch out at one another all the time for funny>>Cynthia vs Leon and have Cynthia pull the upset completely subverting the status quo from the get-go and making Ash conflicted since Leon was "his goal" all along and maybe make him realize how much of a faggot he's being for only focusing on Leon when all the other Champions are there and not giving his other Pokemon a chance>Make Leon pull Mega Charizard Y after he mememaxed the gorilla because he was being pushed that badly by Cynthia it seemed like he needed it then and there to not lose except surprise motherfucker I actually had a different ace >Cynthia pulls out a Kommonium Z because Alola is full of history nerdery she'd love and would be a place she'd visit for that alone and have her all have three gimmicks too because fuck you and for maximum Cynthiawank and because why the fuck give her a Kommo-o if not let her use it hereNo idea about Lance, Iris or who'd replace Diantha I thought this on the fly and cannot think of something half-meaningful or good theme-wise for them.
