Over 1,000 episodes
over 20 years since 1997 (when the first episode on the anime aired in Japan)
That is how long Ash has been around. From what I have looked into, it seems that there are three sets of fans when it comes to Ash and the anime:
Those that love him and want him to keep going
Those that hate him and want him to be retired
Those who are on the fence about him
I have two questions to pose:
One: Would the anime be as popular as it is now if Ash was replaced after Kanto (and by extension, the Orange Islands)?
Two: Would the anime do well if they swapped Ash out after Orange Islands (each region having its own protagonist)?
Begin discussion.
