UGH Ritchie, really? Gary yah, but Ritchie the goodie-goodie Ash clone? No thanks.i think rchie and gary should get there own segment.
That would be nice, but Ash is here to stay. What would have been even better is if they had more than one trainer in the spotlight each gen. Like say if Ash was kept we'd be updated on his adventures, and in another episode or part of that episode it would be focused on the other trainer. Then sometime later on the anime they both met up.

oh boy, that sounds stupid and I haven't even press the submit button yet :D
The repetition is one of the worst things about the franchise, why does it have to be ported to the anime? Look at Pokemon Special, it gets along fine without gyms.Why not? You always do it in the games?
That would be better than the anime's current state.
In a way, I actually like having Ash go through all these regions, rather than a different lead character.
The animé has been airing for 13+ years so why change it up? The show's staff clearly know what they're doing so they'll keep doing what they've been doing until it's clear that they need to change it up.
