Is Pokemon the only franchise that takes such good care of old characters?

I mean to be fair they're just nostalgia baiting us hard, that's the key goal with this franchise.

they're not doing it out of respect for the older games, that's giving them too much credit lol. This franchise thrives off making us remember when we were young.

Pokemon doesn't actually cross reference its human characters THAT much. World Tour was a really nice asset flip, Gen 7 and Masters are recent developments in a near 25 year old series.

If you want a silly merchandise-pumping property that inhales its own little legacy, look at something like Tales. Previous characters return as superbosses since the second game in series, welcomed HD DLC with a flurry of and precedent for past-game inspired costumes for the present characters, continues to feature characters from decades ago in merch, and has been making multi-game crossovers of various genres since there were THREE GAMES.

You mean literally anybody except Game Freak. The older games are all dead to them. You'll never see older protags in the new games, except maybe meme characters like red, blue and cynthia.

The high reliance on remakes makes it strategically useful to maintain classic characters relevant.

How is this even a question? /vp/ proving once again they don't play games beside Pokemon.

According to you, they showed Lyra - Silver - Gary - Ethan - Red, except it makes no sense

If they showed Lyra - Leaf (females), Silver - Gary (rivals) and Ethan - Red (males) then it makes 10 times more sense
