Okay, so if I can rewrite Ash Ketchum’s Pokémon anime story with Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak and Creatures’ license and oversight:

  1. Which kinds of Pokémon do you think that Ash and his friends can catch, evolve and fully train w/o releasing them all?
  2. Can I have Ash always win all battles and never lose any them, even including to the finals to his opponent at all the Pokémon Regional League Conference?
  3. Can I have Ash ultimately succeed his aspiration to become a Pokémon Master?
  4. Can I have May, Dawn and Serena win all the Pokémon Contests and Grand Festivals and all Showcase Rookie and Master Classes?
  5. Can I have the Team Rocket organization disband upon defeat, despair and/or redemption?

What do you think? Please let me know, thanks.😉

    I'm kinda glad Ash lost frequently tbh. It would be so dumb if he won every single battle.

    Don't make him always win. Flaws are a necessity in writing. I think some characters can just not achieve their goal yet because only two of Ash's companions are even teens (Brock and Cilan). It'd be really funny to see a bunch of 10-12 accomplish their life goals at that age and it doesn't seem unlikely for the anime but that's not really a good idea if the writer wants a good story.

    Team Rocket are an iconic trio and if they ever disband I am never watching anything from the anime universe ever again.

    For starters, I would like to Retcon Ash's World champ status to give him 2 more regions to journey in in order for him to understand what a pokemon masters really mean to him and how he can truly understand his goals for it. Not to be the best like there's no one ever was.

    You can try if you want, but Nintendo is strict with their properties.
