As other anime franchises approach their milestones of existence delivering most unexpected and exciting surprises to loyal viewers and those who grew up with it and might want to revisit childhood.
Such as Yugioh for example planning to release 20th anniversary movie with main stars bebg Yugi and Kaiba from first series. Digimon deciding to go one step further releasing soon enough Dugimon tri adventure for 15th anniversary . Whole new series as sequel to Digimon adventure 2 following original Digi destined group (Tai, Matt, Sora, Mimi etc)in their teenage years going on new, fresh adventures.
Dragon Ball planning to release under supervision of Akira Toriyama direct sequel to DBZ taking Goku, Vegeta, Trunks etc on never seen before quest after more than 20 years of this franchise existence.
Etc, etc.
Now it may seem like favorizing giving this to originak group only, but i see it more as paying respect to roots.
I sincerely hope Pokemon regardless of bad record in disrespecting past, ex main characters and continuity(looking at you new Mewtwo) wont be left out.
Doing something groundbreaking and completely amazing for 20th anniversary which if im not mistaken will occur in 2017.
If nothing happens even than, i wont lie. Im going to be disappointed as long time viewers of this show and occasional avid game player.
I would like to see one big movie, much larger than Mastermind of Mirage pokemon special. Might as well make it 2 parter since number of main characters is severely larger compared to 10 years ago. Writers could introduce plotline through which Ash and each of his past friends life psaths could collide going on mission together in saving pokemon world.
One particular idea i had in mind was writers touching on pokemon origins and how they were created or came to earth becoming dominant species on planet. And what resulted in co habitation with humans with some evil pokemon appearing from dark parts of universe threatening to destroy whole planet with Ash, Serena, , May, Brock, Iris etc, etc.
All joining together to fight this menace and protect their hometowns and those they care about.
Another idea which could allow that all past companions are gathered together could be better adaptation of this time more credible World tournament from BW games. Having couple of smaller tournaments(Seniors cup, champion cup, master cup etc) making one giant complex of competitions where E4 members, gym leaders, ace and regular trainers, etc could gather. Testing their skills between themselves, developing more complex strategies and advancing their goals. From this would especialy Ash, Iris, Misty, Clemont for example benefit. Having dreams heavily tied with battling.
With writers prior to that dedicating set of specials for each past main character. Showing look into each of ex main character lives, if they came closer toward their dreams and enjoy in their spats, humor and fierce, brave characters again. With younger fans getting to know them prior to their official return to pokemon anime for something big.
Similar how they prepared audience to get familiar with Ash Charizard before joining him on journey through Decolora islands.
Now i know this would require lot of money, effort and time. But for multibillion franchise like pokemon this is achievable only investing into fiture. With revenues and popularity they would gain from such act of care and reward for loyal viewers vastly exceeding expenses. Being only lucrative for them.
I would be especially intrigued in Misty return since its been forever we saw her in any action(since 2005 she was forgotten). Imo it would be enjoyable and fresh to see her back after so much time taken in new, exciting directions. See how much she changed liking her colorful personality , and get chance to meet Ash and companions she never saw like Serena, Dawn, Cilan etc.
And potentially advance her story of becoming water pokemon master and recognized top water expert in case there is World tournament or something spread over whole season as way of comemmorating 20th anniversary;
Meeting renowned experts like E4 Siebold, learning how to be more creative trainer, develop stronger bond with water pokemon like Gyarados for example realizing how to use it to full potential(mega evolution),maybe even Psyduck.
And based on how well she does in World Cup event ending taken as E4 apprentice maybe(like Lorelei taking her to train with her on Seafoam islands or Siebold from Kalos after managing to impress him);
Thinking about it Misty story was left unfinished not just goal wise, but within her uncleared love feelings, fears and ambitions as well.
Either way this would be my wishes for 20th pokemon anniversary as far as older main characters and their future in pokemon universe goes.
Because if there exists any way for pokemon strategy to change on long term basis, 2017 is breaking point and hope of pokemon company changing formula applied for over 15 years so far.
Starting to reuse popular older characters doing continuation of their storylines instead of adding even more new oners. Not tailoring just pokemon continuity and future by how to market games,but also in making more consistent development and better storyline keeping its ties with pokemon history and things which happened before.
That would be something i would wholeheartedly embrace and expect for this anniversary to at very least acknowledge.
P.S. On side note everyone seem to hate Mastermind of Mirage pokemon special, but aside from bad voice acting i didn't found it that bad myself.
Interactions were entertaining, attempt at introducing plot based about holograms taking Digimon route was somewhat original and in my opinion its intention that counts. Appreciating that Pokemon USA in cooperation with Japan decided to mark in some way 10th anniversary rewarding pokemon fans for their loyalty and paying respect to each characer which played important role in pokemon(i had no problem with old friends reunion), history and connections existing between them.
