A show about Ash setting up gyms in each region?

[GoukaMoki]

How would you feel about a show where Ash establishes a gym in one region at a time?

In the show Ash would:

- have to assemble a team of a certain type mostly from that rregion and train them to defend the gym
- Use one or two existing Pokemon from that region for the gym lineup
- decide what team to use against trainers with 1 badge vs 2, 3, all the way up to 8 +
-occasionally battle previous league winners coming to challenge a new region with their strongest team
-train someone to manage the gym and battle with his teams and move on to the next region to repeat the process

What do you think? What other ideas do you think would be fun to see with this concept?

I think it doesn't even need to be that complex, just have Ash facing random trainers somewhere(Pasio?) with his reserves in great battles

 

[Sham]

That's an idea

Don’t like the idea. Besides, every region except Alola have gyms already. Plus I don’t think Ash would make a good businessman.

Ash probably wouldn’t makes good businessman at first, but that doesn’t mean the story doesn’t have possibilities. The series could be about him learning the skills needed to run a gym.

I think Ash should be a tutor for young trainers.

What’s next? A show about ash playing minecraft?

A series about Ash as the first Alola Champion organizing the Alola Gym challenge could be interesting.

 

[BlueDragonfangirl]

We could just update the series be more about champions some ways.

 

[Leonhart]

That sounds a bit boring from my perspective. What makes the series appealing is that Satoshi has to overcome obstacles on his road to becoming a Pokemon Master, so watching him change focus from that to setting up new Gyms just sounds a bit like a step down to me. Not to mention that it just doesn't sound like something he'd do.

That would be a cool original idea but that doesn't feel like something Ash would do. Or has he ever shown an interest in leading a gym that I'm forgetting?

I thought about that, but he never showed interest really in being a student or a research fellow, but he did those things anyway. I think it would be cool to see. Since hes already reached this level as a trainer. Otherwise I just picture him seeking out even stronger trainers that arent in the pwc, but that would need some sort of interesting narrative to keep structure. I feel like Journeys has lacked a lot of that

I feel bad for some of the reserves that clearly enjoyed battling, but never fully evolved (a lot of his BW team), or SM pokemon that evolved at the very end of the season and have barely had the chance to battle or never battled at all.
