Ya but think if they banned pikachu.
They would also ban ash and move on to another character and begin a cycle of using a new character that can actually have some development for every region.
I’m gonna get hate for this, but the digimon show was better than the pokemon show and a big part of that is because the characters grew up and developed and new characters came around. An older version of the older characters returned in some episodes and you could clearly see how they mature.
That is why the digimon show was better. That and it had better writing in general.
Especially tamers. that was my favourite.
