>Why won’t the Pokémon company cater to ME specifically? MY opinion is law, my opinion is the one that matters. Clearly everybody shares the same viewpoint as me.

If you're tired of Ash, you're not the target demographic anymore.

Well:

1. You're not the target audience

2. A new character means they have to destroy another main character.

3. Creatures Inc. has proven they don't care.

Because he’s a profitable marketing puppet. I deeply hate that they won’t get rid of him, but it isn’t happening unless viewership drops dramatically.

Anon, TV Tokyo don't give a shit for the anime's ratings, they earn so much from sponsorships and selling it abroad, they're able to fund shit they DO care about in addition to producing the anime every year from its takings.

Oh.

Still wish they’d change protagonists or cancel the show, even if neither are likely.

Because game freak are lazy pieces of shit who always put the least effort into everything and that includes the anime
They have zero creativity and only know how to repeat the same story every single time
They'll get rid of that annoying loser the same day they give Pokemon mainline games an actual interesting story (aka never)

To be fair though, he initially was an allusion to Satoshi Tagiri, along with being a Red expy (Tagiri was alluded to as one of Red's default names. As Tagiri was the man who introduced us/guided us through Kanto in Gen I, I can see why the anime keep his anime expy around, to continue to show people around the new regions.

Same reason why Mario games will always star Mario.
He's the main character of the anime.
Sure someday we might have an anime without Ash, but it won't be the same anime.

I’d be perfectly fine with that if Ash wasn’t treated so badly. It just sickening to me how he doesn’t really grow or make progress because of a business decision, and kids picking up on the series won’t know that he’s doomed to fail and reset for as long as the series is profitable.

Stop using this shitty argument. If they wanna cater to a new audience every 3 years then keeping Ash around makes no sense. Kids won't give a fuck. Either replace him with a brand new character or reference continuity every season so that adults may enjoy it as well. You can't have a mix of both. Either keep it "kids only" or make it "adult only"

tpc has this retarded idea that the franchise would go bankrupt immediately if the anime ever changed protagonists, so they're stuck with ash.
apparently, it still hasn't occurred to them yet that the games have different protagonists every time and still make billions.

Ash and Pikachu are really close to be the nip version of Shaggy and Scooby, while Pikachu is Mickey, Ash and TRio are his Donald and Goofy.

Because if gets a little stronger every series logically it would follow that eventually he would get strong enough to become champion.

Does they?
I don't follow Nintendo, but I'm pretty sure there is a lot of spin-offs with different main characters from Mario world.

Maybe that's the point - pokemon anime needs spin-off.

Sazae-san's been on TV since 1969 with over two thousand episodes and no change in main character. PokéAni will never drop Satoshi.
