>>50569053>have a series with the premise of going to all regionsYes, so Goh can catch Pokemon, and Ash can compete in the World Championships. I don't know what people expected. Having them journey through all the regions is redundant, because Ash already did that.
>could last for many years, allowing more dev time for the new games since they won’t have to meet the deadlines for the anime anymoreThe anime follows the games' deadline, not the other way around.
>still devote most of the time to KANTOOOOOOVermilion City is just the hub area and where they are if they don't have a reason to go to another region. You can count the episodes that actually Kanto-focused on one hand.
