Without Ash
They've written all they can about his story. He's the world champ now. What story will they bring him back with? Him trying to befriend all Pokémon? How would a series like that even work?
Seeing new trainers we've never seen before who have just started their journey and are still learning is much more interesting. We already know everything about Ash, and he's already learnt all he can learn and done everything they could let him do. Just let new stories be written.

Pokémon should have been replacing him with new protagonists for decades. Every new region. If they were going to reset him to 0 at the beginning of virtually every new series, why keep the same character? It made the series frustrating to watch, because it kneecapped a lot of opportunities for character development.
I have no objection to him being a part of the series and continuing to develop. That could have been very interesting if he returned in a mentor role to new protagonists, and we could see his continued growth. He could even be an antagonist or rival to certain protagonists.
I feel they picked the laziest option because they knew they would always have an influx of younger viewers who wouldn't know any better (just like the games) and it was so disappointing.

ash has been with us for over 20 years and they just got rid of him it really just doesn't feel right at all without ash and team rocket the ones who were there ever since the beggining I have watched almost every episode of the pokemon anime with ash in it so I've seen his full story and I miss him I want him to come back

So you're saying that they should have just milked the series with Ash and the same story line for the next 50 years? That would become boring at some point although even I like anime with Ash

Thanks for sharing your perspectives, everyone! It’s always so cool to hear different thoughts on Ash's journey and how the series has evolved. And whether you miss having Ash around or are excited about the new direction, it’s very special how he made a lasting impact on fans. Thanks again for adding to the conversation – it’s always great to see the passion this community has!
