>>52711930>If it's Ash's daughterAsh will be back for the first movie then return as a supporting "words of wisdom" character throughout the series.
>If it's not Ash's daughterThe diehard fans who by this point have all devolved into waifufags and "who is le Ashbowl winner?" will drop the series like a rock.
Viewership will plummet, at first they'll try to bring the older cast, Brock, Misty, Dawn, Serena (they can use Serena again now since Ash isn't around meaning the fanbase won't send death threats to VC's for "stealing Ash", Armourfags really shot themselves in the fucking foot with that one), and make ebin references to Ash but not say his name for some reason, the ones still left watching the anime will "basedjacks pointing at the thing" at the epic reference to Ash.
Eventually Ash will show up in the movie then return to take his place at the end of the series, with the new two protags being the Brock and Misty for the series after this one.
The main battler will give up battling in favour of contests after getting BTFO'd in the tournament realising she always hated battling.
Screencap this, believe it.
