And the most maddening thing about all this is, even the Pokemon games do this with the Generations.

If only the Pokemon anime had tried this, and rotate Ashley Catsup out with a fresh new protag with a unique personality, then I think the Pokemon anime wouldn't be as ridiculed as it is now.

Character recognition isn't an excuse either. Tai and Agumon are synonymous to their series, and so are Yugi and Dark Magician, despite only being protag jn the first installments of their respective series.
