Honestly , Writers should stop being so scared !
I Bet , If the new protagonist start as a boy crushing on a childhood friend then thats enough to attract a lot of audience !!!
Writer has to get rid of the idea that Pokemon can be like ''Dragon tail'' , ''Bob The builder'' , ''Barney The Dinosaur'' , ''Doreamon'' and ''The Simpsons''
Most of those Anime only for Kindergartner While ''The Simpsons'' is for Adult audience .
Pokemon has much higher Audience !!!
The Pokemon game was popular among ''Elementary school student'' But you don't see the current game Targeting only Them.
The Anime should focus on the Audience then have rather then targeting other .
Because Pokemon meant to be a ''Shouene'' and there the Protagonist break the limit , he doesn't stay within it .
THE ANIME NEED TO CHANGE !!!
For 15 year , Ash being within the limit !
He never win the league , He doesn't go far beyond that !
But , He should gone far beyond the ''League'' and reach a higher class that no trainer able to achieve.
Because that how Anime like Pokemon work !!!
When i was a kid, i used to love the anime,the characters the story everything
Because as a Kid you & me believed !
We believe that Ash will win the league & become Pokemon master .
We even believed That Ash will catch Legendary Pokemon .
But now , it just about Ash running around with some sidekick .
I honestly don't think that we start this anime just to see how Ash explore the world.
