Thread: Ash Or A New Guy?

Would you like to see the end of Ash in the anime and have a new guy take his place?
Or would you like to see the Ash saga continued?

Post your thoughts here

What type of question is this?

Of course they'd keep Ash, he's a staple of the show and a lot of people would stop watching the Anime if he laeves.

Like how the characters in the games get replaced each region, sorta like that, so instead of Ash, for the next region, say, Brendans journey

Ash all the way, no one replacing him, Don't want any new guy!

I think that the anime could regain some of it's former glory, and viewers if they made a new protagonist.

Although some people believe, by replacing some old things with new would give the anime more "glory", many previous examples deter that arguement. (All the Misty Fans for example.)

Even though many people believe Ash has kinda "ran out of fuel", it'd still be pretty bad to cut him out. As I've already repeated, Ash is a staple to the anime. If he's out, so will it.

Ash should stay, even if you replace him you get a new character pretty much with the same goal and same personality what have you got? An all new yugioh GX folks. I say keep Ash, at least we've known him for along time.
I don't know about you guys, he's my favorite ^^

Ash shouldnt be replaced permanantly, but temporarily. The female Player from Black and White should be the center of attention in the anime...even if it means for Brock to journey alongside. Misty should return as well...nobody needs Dawn or May at all. lol.

there was just a thread about this... and we've already got a thread for the future of the series: The general Pokemon League / end of Sinnoh / Generation V thread

Sheesh, how many times is this topic going to be brought up?

People have already pointed out why replacing Ash and Pikachu would tank the anime so I'm not going to bother repeating all of that. Ash & Pikachu are basically the mascots of the series. So no, they shouldn't replace them.

Ash, for his Mascot of a rat.

Ok, you asked for it, now you're going to get it. I do believe our last argument proved Ash is staying forever. Anyone that denies it is only fooling themselves. It's over now. As for wanting Ash to be replaced, I'll let you have your dream, but that's all it is, a dream. For me, Ash may not be the best character on the face of the planet, but I don't see them doing any better if they could replace him.

For now, Ash. But I'd like to see him become a Pokemon master sometime, and then maybe have a minor role mentoring the next generation of trainers.

I've disliked Ash from the start.
We need a new guy who is older.
Or make the manga into an anime...

Ash should have been wrapped up with DP. Shame he wasn't.
