The new anime will probably be no different than the AU films of M20 and M21 I reckon. What it would be is a retelling of Ash travelling through the regions, collecting Gym Badges, battle the League, with Galar being the last stop, which by then would be 3-4 years too late, and would be when Gen 9 comes out.Ash is not going to be replaced for one simple reason: He is the face of the franchise, with Pikachu and TRio. If you replace Ash, you also need to replace TRio, since they cannot go without Ash (And the reverse as well). So its 5 characters that need to be replaced, not 1. And considering Pikachu is the mascot, the new 'protag' will also have a Pikachu (So whats the point?)
He will most likely be featured in both series, but as two slightly different characters.
1. SwSh: A straightforward adaptation of SwSh using the SM art style (hence the movie animation).
2. Masters: AU Ash collects a badge from each of the 8 regions (we saw a glimpse of the Erika battle in the movie) and then goes to Pasio for the PML. A fast-paced series meant to boost interest in Masters and related merchandise.
And possible Gen 4 Remake since Cynthia is playing a sort of big role in Pokemon Masters.
