Why Ash will not be replaced anytime soon
There has been controversy over whether not Ash should be replaced by another protagonist, here are at least two reasons why there not replacing Ash anytime soon
1. Lets face it, American fans (and European fans to some degree) never liked changed, we know some people are still upset that Misty left the crew even though ever since she got Togepi she became bland like unseasoned burgers (never mind that Indigowunners never cared about the anime during the Johto era until word of mouth spread) I mean if its 2001 right now and Ash got suddenly replaced by some noob named Jimmy then you would of said he sucks and he ruined the show, Ash Ketchum FTW. yeah
2. Ash Ketchum is a Japanese icon. There is a reason why the Simpsons are still going around despite its debatable declining quality, its that the Simpsons are American icons and the American public so far is not ready to see it end, and I highly doubt that the fans of the west ever gave a thought to the Japanese fans in regards to the same issue, are they ready to let Ash Ketchum go? we may never know because they are probably not as vocal as you guys. Let that sink in
TLDR: OLM will never listen to the complaints to the fans of the west, sure they probably don’t know what you’re saying because as far as I know they only read Japanese, but its Japanese fans that matter to them, if they want Ash Ketchum to stay, then thats who they listen to, and thats a reality
Is there an unwritten rule that if your an anime you have to age?, or if your a cartoon its ok to never age?
(i’m I the only person who is ok with Ash still being 10?)
