I was just thinking the other day about old characters. Specifically the two that accompanied Ash and Gary as the four new trainers leaving Pallet town in the first episode. These two, although never elaborated on, were mentioned a few times in those first episodes. Their 'legend' was put to rest in one of the training-for-the-Indigo-League episodes, "Showdown at the Poke-Corral", IIRC.
I'm sure these two trainers, the writers thought, didn't need a detailed background, and were never brought in the light. But what if they had been? What if they still do? Anyone think it would be nice to bring them back somehow, even for a two-part episode or something, as real characters? Or is it not worth even thinking about them ever again? And for that matter, is there any past character anyone wants to bring back? I thought it would be nice to see who's most missed and why and all that. Any thoughts here, please.
