>>56609390>nobody is going to watch if itz not ashI wanted a TV series based off of Pokemon Chronicles when I first saw it.
It was """grittier""" than Ash, at least to young-me back then, and this was coming after playing Colosseum. I will admit I probably had a bias towards gen 2 'mons and Typhlosion being the main pokemon instead of Pikachu since it's my fav 'mon.
So to say nobody will watch it if it doesn't have Ash is redundant, since that graph already shows people had almost entirely lost interest in the anime despite it starring Ash.
I'd like to see the graphs when he actually won that tournament. It probably just happened because someone at TPC said to throw in the towel on Ash's story.
