If you just replaced the later seasons with the Gen equivalent male MC, you would at least have a pile of interesting, if formulaic stories. But that's not why people are annoyed, They're annoyed that character development is superficial, even within it's own genre to stop the 'It's for kids' jackasses.
Ash stopped having nuance at around AG. We don't need episodes showing how he's super nice to Pokemon or another 'LOL should Pikachu use the Thunderstone?' episode. If he's doomed to be Top 8 in leagues at least make the adventure interesting and stop jerking off the Gym crawl.
