I think They should make a series with red instead of ash. Then later red meets up with Ethan. Than they both meet up with Brendan. Then they meet up with Lucas. Then hilbert. Then nate. I think it would be kinda cool.
I'm 31 and just got Pokemon Go. The people I met vary from 12 till in their thirties. So even if Ash was like 100 nobody gives a fuck. It's about playing the game!
Nall Calmer Indeed. I'd prefer they just switch protagonists than stagnate Ash at 10, reflecting his inability to grow. Then lo and behold, the new protagonists could meet an older Ash and have a battle that both old and new viewers would enjoy.
I watched this video when i was a lot younger and had no idea who mandjtv was and didn't realize he made this video.. obviously his name is in the intro but I never read the name of the person making it lol
ash is and will always be 10 years old. when misty is 80 and on her death bed, ash will still be 10. she'll gesture him close and whisper in his ear "you still owe me a bike"
@@ezraora4549 yeah but i’m saying imagine how old ash would be in journeys if he aged normally. i think he’d probably be anywhere between 24 and 32 or something
That same Game Theory denouncing Mario in favor of Bowser, grossly underestimated Sonic’s speed, and got COUNTLESS things wrong about knights, vikings, and samurai? No thanks!
I agree. Looks to be around 8 in that. Even slightly before that he looked younger. Before the Unova season his eyes were no more than slits which made him look older (in my opinion). Then they made his eyes bigger with colour which somehow made him look younger... That's how I see it anyway.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of a theory of why he looks younger (as both Mallow and Lillie are taller than him) however in the first episode of the SM anime, He gets run over bu Tauros and then states "I'm used to it, I've caught a few Tauros myself" So theory debunked.
He looks younger because of the artists that have taken over for this new series, but it's stated in the game that you have to be at least *11* years old to take on Alola's island challenge So after all these years, Ash may have aged at least once, _if_ they're considering that to be canon in the anime
Not gonna lie, I'd really like to see Pokemon grow the main characters up..And have a new generation of kids going on new adventures :/ Ashe would be a gym leader I bet
ocachisu How do you define a 'Pokemon Master' as a job though? Sounds like he's just trying to avoid any responsibillities as a grown up "I'm a Pokemon Master! I can't have a job! Pokemon is my job!"

This is how I imaged Ash Kanto - 10 Johto - 10.5 Hoenn - 11 Sinnoh - 11.5 Unova - 12 Kalos- 12.5 So it's pretty much gonna be this way because he looks like he's getting older anywa- *Sun&Moon* OH MY GOODNESS!!!
you know in pokemon havelike these stone there is 1. firestone 2.thunder stone 3. waterstone and 4. everstone everstonecan make pokemon stay in teir form forever but those are not only the stone in pokemon there is stil lmore
It is SO lame that he is still 10.. they could've had him age normally and replace the protagonist with a younger character and perhaps make Ash an experienced gym leader or traveler..
I always thought Pokemon were real and I have been playing since I was 5. Man those days were great my brother helped me but now I'm 12 and I have to play the game all by my self but I feel proud. I will always love Pokemon I even want to be buried with all my games. That might sound weird but I don't care.
I think the last episode should be about Ash's 11th birthday. He should invite all his previous traveling partners, pokemon, rivals and even Jessie, James and Meowth. Then Ho-Oh should appear one more time and the episode should end with everyone smiling while staring at Ho-Oh.
Yeah, Pokemon never dying off, new pokemon that get less and less creative and more and more difficult to pronounce, Ash always being ten, and the original creator passing away.
Just make a new character. . . Kill off Ash or whatever, I don't fuckin care. The series needs some life! Have you seen the newest episodes? They are so dull and lifeless It's almost depressing
New video up tomorrow morning! And don't forget to ask me questions on my Ask Me Anything video, if you haven't! /watch?v=NCCZ8p6tgEU&list=UUSAYHSNaY5_UEol4_frPurg
I am currently 11 turning 12 in a couple of months but I have watched the show since the age of 6 and I have love the show ever since and it will remain in a place in my heart for the rest of my life
Wait. I am seventeen and 6 feet 3 inches (dammit imperial system). So this would mean I am as Big as a Dragonite? Man, they would call me a Giant. EDIT: Looked it up in metric, I am smaller than Dragonite. But still i would be motherf***ing big compared to the rest there.
Why does Ash not age? In the first episode of the Anime, after Ash and Pikachu both almost get killed by the swarm of Spearows, Ho-Oh flies over their head. It is prophecized that anyone who sees Ho-Oh gets a wish granted and Ash's wish at that time was to stay a kid forever. Ty for the likes
Ink sans and kid goku Saku To point out the flaws of this show and why most Pokemon fans mostly play and follow the games because the show is crap. At least Pokemon origins shows Red aging.
I completely accept this. Don't care what the writers say. And if they want to keep the main protagonist the same age, CHANGE THE MAIN PROTAGONIST. Like, damn, it's not that hard. You can still keep Ash around and follow a lot of his travels
They experimented with Chronicles it didn't work as much hate as Ash gets new generations love him and the old have nothing better to do than keep watching him
It's Japan. For the most part, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is the mentality here (and even in some cases where if it is broke, don't fix it :-P ) Satoshi and Pikachu are the faces of this franchise. If they were going to change him, they should've done so when Gold/Silver came out and then they could've continued "changing" from there to match the protagonist of each game series. Satoshi is to Pokemon what Hulk Hogan is to wrestling. Even if you don't know a thing about Pokemon or wrestling, you know these two when you see them.
im from holland and I confirm that chinese are the most tiny things I have seen in my live also I claim gayneek to be gay because he calls himself a gay
You are correct sir. A few months ago, I was on a cruise and tried to get into the club on the ship. I forgot my ID in my room and the guard at the front wouldn't let me in, even though I told him i was 24. I later found out that the fucking club was 18+. That really pissed me off.
Yeah I'm here in 2021, and looking back on his old videos, I realized how much Michael's channel has grown, and at this point I'm just so proud of him.
This is all I have to say to the Pokémon writers: Wake the hell up!! I'm 16 and I'm an even bigger fan now than I was several years ago! If mathematically he should be 16, make him 16! It would make things better and more interesting with the whole "Serena loving him and wanting him to be her boyfriend" thing. Just make him 16 writers, please! Who agrees with me?
+Matthew Purdy he would actually probably around 18 or so now since this vid is 2 years old.. i dont watch the show but im sure they made more seasons since this video
I love this 7 year old video, because it literally uses Ash is short as an argument and honestly, kids, follow your dreams, whether you succeed or not is 100% random chance
Shuxiang Huang no it wouldn't. we'd get to see him mature, have his first kiss, have drama that isn't pokemon related and all that jazz. just like all the other animes
hang on, wait if he is 14, then when ahem.... he er, has a............. ugh, i might as well say it. kisses serena, he is like about 18 or something???
Dude if the final episode of Pokemon shows grown up Ashe (either as a gym leader or Pokemon league champion) and his wife sending off their son or daughter on their journey to become a Pokemon master at the age of 10... I will cry, and my life will be complete.
Can’t believe you have been doing this for over a decade now. I remember discovering you in 2016 as an eleven year old and binging you content. Now as an “adult” and seeing all you have done for me and the community, you have my respect for that!
I really don't understand why they don't let Ash grow older. Why don't let the anime focus on other, new main characters whenever they archived a new region? Like Ash becoming older and a better trainer trough the journeys, then let him win the pokemon league of the region and then let him meet the new main character, teach him some things and then let the new main characters on their journey. Then every knew generation who watch pokemom would have their own main hero and the older generation would have some nostalgic feelings when their hero makes an cameo apperance. This would have been much better than this forever 10 bullshit.
Pinkie Pie Probably, f.ck whose legenary bitches and their weird powers. It just a weird feeling when like 16 years passed and Ash is still the same little boy he was back in 1997. They should have let him grow, at least a little.
He is still 10, the entirety of the series takes place within one year-on the finale of the Pokemon anime, it will be canon that Ash now turned 11 _FEAR MY CORRECTNESS_
I still don't get it. Even if Pokemon was supposed to be targeted at younger audiences, they could've just made him grow up as the audience did. Kids could still start from the start and as keep watching as they grew up. They just don't seem to want to change a winning formula, and while that may be the best idea, I think they overdid it here.
I honestly think they lost some viewers because of this. It's basically guaranteeing that the character will lose the subconscious appeal he gains by being close to the viewer's age. I know I definitely stopped watching because I felt like I didn't relate to the character as I approached the age of ~12.
Or another theory is. The world of Pokémon is an entire new world, developing at an entirely new pace than Earth. This explains why their planet looks different than Earth. It could mean their suns, stars, planets, solar systems, or even galaxies could vary. This could also affect how humans and Pokemon developed over their years journeying. 6 years in our time could be 6 months for Ash. Reverse dog years maybe. This could mean that they said a 'year' in our time Ash has traveled, meaning a month has gone by in Ash's timespan. This would all vary upon their special human and Pokemon evolution expansions over generations. Or you could just blame Dialga. Roar of Time my toilet...
+Landon Repp Technically it does explain that. They have just lived more of 'their' years. Like I said, a month could be a year in our time depending on their distance from their sun. Those old men, maybe 70, would be 840 years old in our time. Plus in my theory, it all varies on their millenniums of evolution, human and pokemon that have shifted their growth spans. Either way. This theory allows Shippers to have no regrets.
A year is a complete orbit around a star or another celestial object. Other astronomical bodies' years are compared to earth in "earth years". True. A year on Pluto is over 200 earth years. Good luck ever celebrating your birthday on THAT planet. So Ash could just be farther away from the Sun in their universe. Or dialga and palkia are at it again.
What if all the generations are alternate universes, like the first universe he stayed in Kanto, then in another universe he went to Hoenn and so on, what about that?
Thing is when you are young Pokemon is life middle school you think it's crap. Highschool Pokemon is life. (As well as Magic, yugioh, D&D, and other card games)
No kidding, I'm pretty shocked it isn't more common. What gets me is that we are supposed to buy Jessie and James are Twelve. There is no way. As I recall Jessie went to medical school with the joy clones. The Clones clearly are not twelve because they are known similar age to the Officer Jenny clones. The officer Jenny clones are by no means 12 (though that would explain why there is so much crime) As such Jessie cannot be 12 thus it would mean that there are no such thing as adults..... Or the adults are stupid enough to have children employed as doctors and law enforcement.
To do the Island Challanges in Alola, you HAVE to be 11 years. Theoretically, Ash should be 11 to do them. But that's just a random thought to think about.
They could have made a lot of money if they had aged Ash and made it a more mature show for the aging viewers, and simultaneously kept the younger show with a new hero.
Or if they stoped with forcing team rocket in every damn episode. They were never interesting and only became more and more annoying. I felt that team aqua and team magma were, besides giovanni, the first real antagonists (Gary was a rival thus technically not an antagonist).
Dermatologists must hate him
UltraMarioBrothers joke went over ppl's head don't forget RUclips comments are about as Under aged as Ash.

I am currently 11 turning 12 in a couple of months but I have watched the show since the age of 6 and I have love the show ever since and it will remain in a place in my heart for the rest of my life
Wait. I am seventeen and 6 feet 3 inches (dammit imperial system). So this would mean I am as Big as a Dragonite? Man, they would call me a Giant.
EDIT: Looked it up in metric, I am smaller than Dragonite. But still i would be motherf***ing big compared to the rest there.
In the 1st movie ash turns to stone but then reived by crying pokemon, maybe the stone stopped him from ageing?
bady boy What about Brock?
***** I talked about the Rocks stoped his aging thing. As I remember, Brock wasn't rocking anything
hey ash might of been born in a leap year
MLG life yes might be on February 29th
And he has a liliputer virus
Memes RUS how is old She or he i forgot if it was he or she when i wrote this
Lol
he would be forty
Why does Ash not age? In the first episode of the Anime, after Ash and Pikachu both almost get killed by the swarm of Spearows, Ho-Oh flies over their head. It is prophecized that anyone who sees Ho-Oh gets a wish granted and Ash's wish at that time was to stay a kid forever.
Ty for the likes
Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me. 2:32
HOLY COW 10 MILLION VIEWS PEOPLE RLLY WANNA KNOW HOW OLD HE IS
Ink sans and kid goku Saku
To point out the flaws of this show and why most Pokemon fans mostly play and follow the games because the show is crap. At least Pokemon origins shows Red aging.
Ikr
Well, I always assumed Ash was one of those people that doesn't get very tall as they age, so if he has 16-17 years old that would make sense.
so midget ash :3
yourallygod gaming Nah, some people just don't grow up their bodies that much.
Hormones, probably.
Metalders yea ik im just saying he's an old person but is a midget :3 really thats what it is heh
yourallygod gaming I don't consider him a "midget", just a short person.
Remember "Short Round" from Indiana Jones? :3
Metalders i think i do
Brock is Ash's repressed sexuality? That can't be right, Brock's a Pokemon breeder...
...
...
...
My God.
O_o you might wanna check out a vid i watched with the question 'Can humans have sex with pokemon' it's quite amusing :3
Lewis Graver Jynx..? o.O
What O_O i wouldn't have sex with Jynx but he talks about it in the video :)
Lewis Graver Link?
a pokemon breeder then he does it for fun
I really want an updated version of this wow
Here is the most shitty, cringey Pokemon joke ever.
What does Ash put on his food?
Ash Ketchup
Taptomana
...
Got any Bleach?
Geometry Dash Progam3r -.-
I'm cringing into oblivion
Taptomana Me too.
badum tsjiii
Why couldn't Ash make it to get his starter Pokemon? He couldn't ketchup...
OHHHHH SNAP THIS VID JUST HIT 10,000,000 VIEWS!! CONGRATS MICHAEL!!
BobJeff2169 yeah you're right!
Pokémon GO is my reason for clicking this video :>
+SlenderKatZ O_o that's awesome
+MandJTV Pokevids I know right
:)
Yep......
Sad just sad :-/
If Ash is still ten then he lived in an iceberg
If you think the Ash Ketchum age issue is bad, try analyzing Detective Conan's temporal arc. That's even worse.
If you're not familiar with that name, the American name for said anime is Case Closed.
Guthrie Prentice nah i know him
Yeah. Even though Conan is like in 1st grade, he and his friends NEVER GREW UP! Seriously, it's been like 10 years.
OMG I didn't want to think about.(╥﹏╥)
I completely accept this. Don't care what the writers say.
And if they want to keep the main protagonist the same age, CHANGE THE MAIN PROTAGONIST. Like, damn, it's not that hard. You can still keep Ash around and follow a lot of his travels
They experimented with Chronicles it didn't work as much hate as Ash gets new generations love him and the old have nothing better to do than keep watching him
I loved chronicles, though. Ah, people are dumb. -pouts in a corner-
hanon623 Chronicles?
It's Japan. For the most part, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is the mentality here (and even in some cases where if it is broke, don't fix it :-P ) Satoshi and Pikachu are the faces of this franchise. If they were going to change him, they should've done so when Gold/Silver came out and then they could've continued "changing" from there to match the protagonist of each game series.
Satoshi is to Pokemon what Hulk Hogan is to wrestling. Even if you don't know a thing about Pokemon or wrestling, you know these two when you see them.
It's not like Ash is this a super awesome protagonist, they could create a better protagonist for the show easily.
He's Asian. He don't age. He can be 50 and still look 10.
I bet, if he was in Family Guy.
Mr. Herbert would love Ash.
Im an asian an I wished that really happen. lmao
I'm Asian and I can confirm that I haven't aged much in the last 10 years...
im from holland and I confirm that chinese are the most tiny things I have seen in my live also I claim gayneek to be gay because he calls himself a gay
You are correct sir. A few months ago, I was on a cruise and tried to get into the club on the ship. I forgot my ID in my room and the guard at the front wouldn't let me in, even though I told him i was 24. I later found out that the fucking club was 18+. That really pissed me off.
lol Herbert is so weird.
Yeah I'm here in 2021, and looking back on his old videos, I realized how much Michael's channel has grown, and at this point I'm just so proud of him.
Hello friendo
20 years i am 28 still play the game
Keep going
This is all I have to say to the Pokémon writers: Wake the hell up!! I'm 16 and I'm an even bigger fan now than I was several years ago! If mathematically he should be 16, make him 16! It would make things better and more interesting with the whole "Serena loving him and wanting him to be her boyfriend" thing. Just make him 16 writers, please! Who agrees with me?
Matthew Purdy I agree big time
+Matthew Purdy
Yes.
+Matthew Purdy YES!!!!!!! XD
+Matthew Purdy he would actually probably around 18 or so now since this vid is 2 years old.. i dont watch the show but im sure they made more seasons since this video
ok, but it still needs to happen
I love this 7 year old video, because it literally uses Ash is short as an argument and honestly, kids, follow your dreams, whether you succeed or not is 100% random chance
I wish they aged him normally :(
Shuxiang Huang no it wouldn't. we'd get to see him mature, have his first kiss, have drama that isn't pokemon related and all that jazz. just like all the other animes
*****
Ash get's all the lady's pretty much.
*****
He got a kiss on the cheek from NOT MISTY in Pokemon heroes, the 5th movie...
I wish he was more like Red.
***** His friends would have been adults too. I think making Ash 13-14 would have been nice though. Like the main heroes of the newer games.
hang on, wait if he is 14, then when ahem....
he er, has a............. ugh, i might as well say it. kisses serena, he is like about 18 or something???
Serena kissed ash in Pokemon x y. He/she isn't talking about ash x serena
@Pokemon Rules Est. 2000 yeah ash x misty is the way to go
DragonDude185 omg a ten year old kissing a 16 year old something😂
moira lovegood serena isn’t 10 cuz she and ash were the same age when they first met in professor oaks summer camp
Not a minor
You guys got it all wrong he’s playing on an emulator and has 16x speed on
Good one haha
They did come out and say ash by sun and moon is 13
Though I might be wrong I'm not entirely sure if that's what they legit said
I just know that at some point it was confirmed that ash was at least 13
It saids he is still 10 on the tv at Japan sun and moon
there's only 700 pokemon
He's going to be 11 in sun and moon because you need to be 11 to enter the island trails
Dude if the final episode of Pokemon shows grown up Ashe (either as a gym leader or Pokemon league champion) and his wife sending off their son or daughter on their journey to become a Pokemon master at the age of 10... I will cry, and my life will be complete.
I would absolutely love to see the series end like that
MandJTV Pokevids I would absolutely NOT love to see the series end AT ALL.
Ash will be 10 forever. You're better off living through Red.
No. the true question is;
how old is PIKACHU?
my GOD
OMG
The true true question is how professor oak shoved pikachu into a pokeball
matty amicaterra answer: how does he know whats inside of a pokeball the first time
+matty amicaterra Ikr xD
Can’t believe you have been doing this for over a decade now. I remember discovering you in 2016 as an eleven year old and binging you content. Now as an “adult” and seeing all you have done for me and the community, you have my respect for that!
oh my god same here
US
That part when he say "WITH MATH" makes me laugh so loud LOL
+Geekyyy Yu :D
ya
Same!!!
Same
I really don't understand why they don't let Ash grow older.
Why don't let the anime focus on other, new main characters whenever they archived a new region? Like Ash becoming older and a better trainer trough the journeys, then let him win the pokemon league of the region and then let him meet the new main character, teach him some things and then let the new main characters on their journey. Then every knew generation who watch pokemom would have their own main hero and the older generation would have some nostalgic feelings when their hero makes an cameo apperance. This would have been much better than this forever 10 bullshit.
Blame Ho-oh!
Pinkie Pie
Probably, f.ck whose legenary bitches and their weird powers.
It just a weird feeling when like 16 years passed and Ash is still the same little boy he was back in 1997. They should have let him grow, at least a little.
He is still 10, the entirety of the series takes place within one year-on the finale of the Pokemon anime, it will be canon that Ash now turned 11
_FEAR MY CORRECTNESS_
nope as when he returns to viridan city he says it has been a year since he was last there
I still don't get it. Even if Pokemon was supposed to be targeted at younger audiences, they could've just made him grow up as the audience did. Kids could still start from the start and as keep watching as they grew up. They just don't seem to want to change a winning formula, and while that may be the best idea, I think they overdid it here.
Exactly and there are plenty of kids shows where the characters grow up through the years
there are a lot where they dont either :P
+Kevin Zhang meh they can do what they want with the show
Or introduce a new bloody character to focus on if its so important to have a 10 year old protagonist.... Like they did in the GAMES.
I honestly think they lost some viewers because of this. It's basically guaranteeing that the character will lose the subconscious appeal he gains by being close to the viewer's age. I know I definitely stopped watching because I felt like I didn't relate to the character as I approached the age of ~12.
I would say he is about 5 million years old.
Or another theory is. The world of Pokémon is an entire new world, developing at an entirely new pace than Earth. This explains why their planet looks different than Earth. It could mean their suns, stars, planets, solar systems, or even galaxies could vary. This could also affect how humans and Pokemon developed over their years journeying. 6 years in our time could be 6 months for Ash. Reverse dog years maybe. This could mean that they said a 'year' in our time Ash has traveled, meaning a month has gone by in Ash's timespan. This would all vary upon their special human and Pokemon evolution expansions over generations. Or you could just blame Dialga. Roar of Time my toilet...
it doesn't explain why he's the only one that doesn't age. there are old men and misty ages in a recent episode.
+Landon Repp Technically it does explain that. They have just lived more of 'their' years. Like I said, a month could be a year in our time depending on their distance from their sun. Those old men, maybe 70, would be 840 years old in our time. Plus in my theory, it all varies on their millenniums of evolution, human and pokemon that have shifted their growth spans. Either way. This theory allows Shippers to have no regrets.
Misty still ages at the correct rate. She's shown as a twenty-something year old woman in one episode.
+Landon Repp She is?? What episode was this?
A year is a complete orbit around a star or another celestial object.
Other astronomical bodies' years are compared to earth in "earth years".
True. A year on Pluto is over 200 earth years.
Good luck ever celebrating your birthday on THAT planet.
So Ash could just be farther away from the Sun in their universe.
Or dialga and palkia are at it again.
Spoilers for the end of the anime
They did not 6:17
I used to think his name was ass ketchup 😂😭
no you didn't..
+Justin tice I thought his name was Trash Ketchup! But we both was so wrong
+Justin tice same, but actually his last name was an anagram of Catch'em
+Justin tice XD
mel !! *OAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
"Brock is supposed to be ash's repressed sexuality"
lmao
What if all the generations are alternate universes, like the first universe he stayed in Kanto, then in another universe he went to Hoenn and so on, what about that?
nathan cao that would be cool but no, the seasons all start where the last season left off....with the exception of alola
6:14 everyone take your bets
He did not
That makes him like 18 in sun and moon anime and he looks like 7 and is like 3 feet tall
I'm Cool Bro no bcs in Sun and Moon Ash has had a reset - the Sun and More serie is total apart from the original anime serie.
Fleur Gijsbers ohhhh... I didnt know that
Fleur Gijsbers FALSE
I'm Cool Bro if sun and moon was part of it he'd be 20
ChunArt Chun pretty sure it’s ep 42
Thing is when you are young Pokemon is life
middle school you think it's crap.
Highschool Pokemon is life. (As well as Magic, yugioh, D&D, and other card games)
Slenderman And in college, Pokemon literally becomes your job (well at least it did for me)
Can't think of a better way to pay your way through it.
Beats working a pole.
Slenderman I know right?! I definitely have the best job of all my friends, no contest
No kidding, I'm pretty shocked it isn't more common.
What gets me is that we are supposed to buy Jessie and James are Twelve.
There is no way. As I recall Jessie went to medical school with the joy clones.
The Clones clearly are not twelve because they are known similar age to the Officer Jenny clones. The officer Jenny clones are by no means 12 (though that would explain why there is so much crime)
As such Jessie cannot be 12 thus it would mean that there are no such thing as adults..... Or the adults are stupid enough to have children employed as doctors and law enforcement.
Slenderman bulbapedia says they're 25 so that makes more sense
One does not simply grow out of Pokémon.
Unless you're in high school. :P
i'm 24 and still play pokemon
puiyan tam A wild missingNO appeared!
I'm almost 20 and I've played Pokémon religiously since I was 3. One does not simply grow out of Pokémon. Ever.
Lync lol im 23 soon and still plays with my bigger brother that is 26 x) haha still playing pokemon battles agienst eachother
***** LOTR MEME!!!
To do the Island Challanges in Alola, you HAVE to be 11 years.
Theoretically, Ash should be 11 to do them. But that's just a random thought to think about.
A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts
That's in the games. It wasn't a thing in the anime. Separating different canons is important for theorymonning.
@@gengarzilla1685When we have no defined answer from the anime, we can use the games as a source instead. Does that not make sense?
They could have made a lot of money if they had aged Ash and made it a more mature show for the aging viewers, and simultaneously kept the younger show with a new hero.
Or if they stoped with forcing team rocket in every damn episode. They were never interesting and only became more and more annoying. I felt that team aqua and team magma were, besides giovanni, the first real antagonists (Gary was a rival thus technically not an antagonist).
