Hi to all fellow bulbagardeners.
Since most of us are long time viewers of pokemon anime im sure there exists things you might not be satisfied with regarding way this show is written. Whether that is character development, connection to series history and current formula, settings in which certain saga takes place, story or message pokemon is sending out.
So I decided to make thread where people can release their juices of creativity and bring up what they may not like about current formula. But most importantly what changes you guys and girls would implement in way pokemon anime is handled?
To make it of what would appear to be in your opinion show with higher quality. More fun, original and rewarding to follow.
But under condition of Ash still being main lead in this anime.
CLARIFICATION:
Before anyone post in this thread there are few rules i felt there was needed to include in order to prevent turning it in place where usual suggestions such as replacing main character or rebooting anime would occur again.
Therefore in accordance with moderators you can bring up any suggestions in how you would change current pokemon series as long this does not include:
Asking that Ash or Team Rocket gets replaced or pokemon anime experiencing reboot starting it with new protagonist.
Have fun posting, because im curious to hear what kind of changes you would implement.

To start things of here is one which is in my opinion biggest weight dragging down pokemon show from being product of much bigger entertainment value and quality.
Answer is very poor continuity.
In my opinion there should be much, much stronger continuity than what were having right now.
Because if there was more attention given to previous regions Ash traveled through, experiences, skills and relationship with other characters there was formed.
That would translate to way storyline and Ash characters unfolds out as well. Not witnessing to soft resets and regressions like it seem to be practice whenever new generation is on horizon.
Due to his recollected knowledge, improvement and maturity following fluid straightforward curve through which not just Ash. But pretty much every main character, plots and journey could go forward.
If there was stronger continuity with pokemon regions being connected with contact being maintained with what happened before. We would be following consistent storyline which evolves and builds on itself over long period of time making things feel more connected and rounded. Giving out impression of characters, struggles they underwent and all kind of plot twists moving somewhere and whole adventure having some actual goal, sense of direction to strive toward.
And most importantly if there was stronger continuity we wouldn't be witnessing to replaced older character being erased forever from pokemon anime never to be seen again. Instead we could see them continue to exist within series canon moving things forward and building on future of whole pokemon quest, being rewarding pleasure when we have chance to see likes of Misty, May, Cilan, Dawn , Brock etc evolve and grow as person through returns showing how much they changed, what new interests and quirks they developed adding more freshness to characterization because of development. How they cope with new challenges and if they came closer toward their careers feeling like their effort, pain and determination pay of.
Now to some this may not be on list pf priorities, but I do appreciate references to history and older important characters. And I guess to me its infinitely more exciting when i hear old companion(like let say Misty for sake of example) is, would be coming back than introduction of new character with pokemon series being saturated by this point through unoriginal and repetitive policy "out with old, in with new".
When old can become new and deliver fresh things on table through deeper exploration of already started dreams and plots about someone either through sequel of their adventure or recurring role of some sort. Like One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, Fairy Tail etc are having for practice.
Because there are plenty anime out there which exist for marketing but they don't sacrifice coherence of plot, consistent character development and forget about past and important characters or events happening before remaining acknowledged.
