I only watched the new anime recently and I'm a bit disappointed, the main characters (liko is a bit boring and Roy feels like an ash clone) are ok at best, they get overshadowed by the rest of the cast which is much more interesting. i genuinely live every single character except for those two. I've only seen the first episodes so hopefully this changes

I remember reading in a similar thread that they left ash's departure in the anime an open ending so if the new protag flops they can bring him back, it made me laugh at bit but to be honest a little part of me wishes they could do that. I miss team rocket. It's a shame because I remember being so excited about the next pokemon anime protag.

what do you think veepee? Am I just nostalgia blind or did you also think the new protagonist is kinda boring? do they change in the newest episodes?
