For numerous reasons such as coming out closer to the next game and not knowing what a hit it would be, Kanto originally got a much smaller number of episodes than subsequent series' (though between the Battle Frontier and the new series that's becoming less true and it might actually be above Johto now) and a much faster pace for the early portions, to the point that Ash had six badges in episode 32; for comparison he got his second AG badge in 31.
However, if Kanto had gotten three year run with about 140 episodes what sort of changes do you picture? A few thoughts:
*All the Gym Leader rematches that took place in the same episode would have two (Brock, Surge)
*Gym Leaders who only got one episode would probably have at least two.
*We may have seen more of the game's Team Rocket appearances (such as the Game Corner in some fashion, or the Silph Co takeover), though it's not certain.
*Obviously there would be significantly more filler episodes.
What other changes do you think we might see, and what would you like to see?
Also, do you think Kanto would be better off overall with three years, or do you believe it's comparatively brisk pacing worked out better and later series' could afford to be shorter?
