Are signature/ace Pokemon an idea the series should continue with? Whether it be gym leaders, rivals, villains, etc.

Yes. This is one aspect of the series that I have always been fond of. Signature Pokémon help you remember the important NPC like Surge’s Raichu or Guzma’s Golisopod. They help convey the Trainer’s personality and quirks well. My only gripes are when they’re not original (why do we need 3 Trainers who have a Gengar ace) or inconsistent but otherwise I love the idea of aces. Gimmicks help make these Pokémon stand out so I’m fine with them expanding on that

? Isn't Green/Blue's ace supposed to be either Eevee or one of the starters? Pidgeot is so lame, specially because Falkner has Pidgeotto (Should have had Noctowl, fuck GF).

Obviously. Every anime, manga, or story driven media in general gives their characters an exclusive tool, power, or partner that further characterizes them and assists with their development

We don’t know just Ash for Ash. We know Ash and Pikachu, the greatest and most well known partners of all time

Giovanni's ace is rhydon? I thought it was Nidoking or Kangaskhan?

I always though Giovanni’s ace was supposed to be Nidoking. Or Mewtwo.

He’s only been shown with Eevee in Yellow and the anime.

Rhyperior seems to have the most consistent association.

Who else? Allister? I feel like Cursola is his signature pokemon, while Gengar is his ace (in battles)

Sort of like how Ash's signature mon is Pikachu but his ace is whatever shillmon he has at the time.

Allister. Gengar is shown with him in pretty much everything that features him while Cursola is just a Pokémon on his team.

Ghetsis wouldn't be as terrifying without his Hydreigon

Aces just convey an important trainer's personality and unique style, while setting them apart from other "specialist" of the same type.

I think that the machop line is the current king of eventually showing up on every specialist of their types teams. Then it's alakazam's, golem's, and gengar's lines. Not really up to date with sword and shield though.

I'd say they should stay but it was a mistake to not give Kalos gym leaders a Mega just to preserve the concept. They could have done both (Ace highest level, Mega at the start).

In future they could maybe add the Gen 7 Totem Boosts to an Ace. If they wanted to add difficulty

Yes. This>>46038847 Post summed it up nice. Plus, some pokemon seem literally designed to be certain gym leader's aces like nosepass or milotic
