It is hard to find animes like that tbh.Yes but naruto/boruto is not a marketing tool like the pokemon animu?

Examples?
I know right. Its hard to find such anime tbh.Maybe Yugioh Duel Monsters?...after the first season that is xD
At least its continuity, and world building is better than Pokemon's
Not *all* that comparable to Pokémon but since it's kind of a merchandise-driven show for japanese children, let's try to ilustrate this point with an example...Those are not mutually exclusive. You can have marketability and good writing if some effort is put into it.
And even then marketing and meddling still happened from time to time...I think My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic might be an exception (it’s not anime, but it is merchandise-driven animation). And there might be a Transformers series or two that fall into the exception category as well.
Oh yeah, this reminds me why I hate/barely praise the way JN is handling old characters. Ultraman can make their old character's returns meaningful to the plot while still telling a new story and selling merchandise yet an anniversary Pokemon series can't?Not *all* that comparable to Pokémon but since it's kind of a merchandise-driven show for japanese children, let's try to ilustrate this point with an example...
Ultraman Z had to sell the toys Bandai wanted, do the Ultraman Zero 10th anniversary element Tsubaraya wanted THEN had to face unfortunate circunstances like the main writer passing midway into filming (RIP Kota Fukihara) and the pandemic affecting stuff. Yet the show just kept winning fans' praise and more recently got the Seiun Award of Best Media, beating the Demon Slayer movie.
Fukihara (RIP) and director Kiyotaka Taguchi had a clear vision of what they wanted out of the show and they did bother fitting the toys (aka the marketing) on the narrative they were building. Returning characters were used to the show's advantage not as a hidrance. Z had to include some past Ultras and made said returns be part of the narrative that was building up
Pokémon is just treating it as a hidrance most of the time.
Well then, May's Voice Actress cannot be replaced just because she has a voice problem but She has spent off-screen moment with Serena however, I'd like to think that May is with Serena in my headcanon through, I wish May would return but it's large impossible now.I guess May could be ruled out depending on if the rumors are true concerning Kaori but apparently she showed symptoms and signs of her vocal illness even when voicing May back in DP so maybe if she's feeling up to it and the condition is better she'll voice her for a return if asked. Obviously her health should be a priority. Anyway it's not like May ever has to return again considering the remakes have come and gone and there are no foreseeable Hoenn promotion coming up. I'm assuming they just brought back Iris considering Aoi is extremely famous and still working with/for Pokemon.
Idk we will see. All of them being in the stadium would be more symbolic thoY'all remember how back in the Hoennn and Sinnoh leagues we had short cut-ins of Ash's friends and family watching him on TV?
I think that's the best way for May, Max, and Serena to appear. We can have a short non-voiced scene of them watching Ash battle Cynthia or Leon.
The Chance of Serena appearing in Pokemon Journeys is a possibility not a indication of "Will Serena appear in Pokemon Journeys?".I think serena will appear
I Would be cool with that.I definitely think Serena will appear...but only in a Koharu episode where Ash doesn't appear.
Im more interested in Lillie's return and probably Dawn's second return though.
Maybe the sylveon episode? I can imagine koharu going with her mother to see a showcase or something like thatdefinitely think Serena will appear...but only in a Koharu episode where Ash doesn't appear.
I know, and although I like the idea of @Pokegirl Fan~ , I think the episode will be different, surely goh will be involvedThe Chance of Serena appearing in Pokemon Journeys is a possibility not a indication of "Will Serena appear in Pokemon Journeys?".
Or appears less. Like let Koharu and Serena doing stuff and Goh and Satoshi fo stuff. And all become together like JN075, with Dawn and Koharu.I definitely think Serena will appear...but only in a Koharu episode where Ash doesn't appear.
