Aging Ash means aging Team Rocket and the Trio is too loved to put into retirement.

>20 year old Ash hanging out with 10 year old girls like Lillie

That's pretty much why they don't age him, because the protagonists he's filling in for and the characters he's interacting with are also kids

And because it's a kodomo anime

Have him hang out with the adults in the region and have the children be people to save. The whole ultra guardians concept works better with adults anyways since why would kids be hired to solve problems in a series that still treats adults as better

Or better yet, why not just have a completely different protagonist for each series instead.

What fucking series are you watching/playing? Adults are always useless compared to kids in the Pokemon series.

Even if Ash did get older that wouldn't happen.

Because it would alienate the current youth and defy Ash's purpose as a timeless, relatable protagonist.
You're supposed to stick around for 1-2 generations, and then fuck off to make way for the next batch of children.

Still sold well tho. To the point where they're now solely focusing on Adventure stuff.

The idea of anyone finding ANY aspect of Tri enjoyable (other than shoving the 02 fags in a black hole and never mentioning them again) is ridiculous to me.

Why would you age ash?
As it stands he's an ageless character who fits the mascot role. If you decide to age him you get the same shit as all grown up from the rugrats.
You set a canon future for them. If you want a more mature pokemon show, then you should just make a new character for it.

pokemon is alive and well after 20 years, still receiving a yearly movie and anime season after season, so it must be doing something right

It's stagnating harder than any other franchise on earth is what it's doing, because creativity is dead in this modern age.
The masses care so little for anything past their nostalgic gen 1 days that GameFreak can actually, legitimately pretend the franchise hasn't moved anywhere these last 20 years (which isn't too far off from the truth anyway) and they'll fucking praise them for doing a move that would be considered absolute suicide if any other franchise tried it.

Aside from Ash, Pikachu, and TR who stay because of how iconic and popular they are, every series already does have a new cast of Pokemon and characters

And they all end up filling the same personalities and development anyway, up until Lillie who's a special case because she's Gen 7's darling waifubait.
