All of them are unlikely options.All four of my options involve keeping Ash. In the first one, filler episodes are outright removed and replaced with Chronicles or Side Story type episodes focusing on characters in other regions. In the second one, Ash goes back to school, only this time, there are more field trips to other regions. In the third one, there are eight main protagonists (one of which is Ash), one in each region. In the fourth one (which is the one I like the least and find least likely), the anime is completely rebooted and an AU Ash travels through all the regions sequentially starting in Kanto and ending off with Galar.
1 and 3 are basically the same, they also take away character focus and time, you can't really expect them to develop the other 7 characters properly when the majority focus is on Ash in Galar much less make 7 new characters.
2... no thank you. Already had enough of it in SM and I'm pretty sure the majority fanbase agrees. Also not likely because of the battle heavy theme that Galar presents.
4 is again, not likely given yesterday's positive sentiments to him winning. Rebooting after seeing that the current Ash has such a loyal following is akin to suicide.
