>>39336403>Of course Pikachu would be an issue, since it being the series' mascot, and would probably never leave AshAnd that's why it'll never happen. That they're as iconic a pairing as they are, not to mention the fact Ash (or rather Satoshi) is based off Red, who in turn was Tagiri's avatar/representation in the original pokémon game. As such to the Japanese, it's pretty much Red showing off the different regions to the new generation, just like he did with them. Ain't never going to change the creator avatar to something different, especially not to suit weaboo faggots reeing on the internets over him.
