Ash's Pikachu is the most overrated pokemon in the entire anime
Eh I only think it's overrated by the writers/higher ups. Greninja, Goodra, Charizard, and Infernape are more overrated imo.

CO: I tend to find most of the 'aces' per region to be boring, because the writers ironically put so much effort into boosting and milking them that their pedestal makes them pretty lifeless characters who aren't allowed to take part in the fun elements of the show and just fight, fight, fight and look super serious and badass about it.
Sure they usually get a development arc, but said 'development' tends to always lead to them being diluted into the same lifeless soldier instead of being a fuller enjoyable character like their pre evolved forms usually were.
Anyway C/O I hope after Lana is written off, they allow her to do Contests since she's kinda interested in preforming. Maybe they can send her to Sinnoh. I also hope Lillie aims to be a Fairy Master, since she's pratically a Fairy specialist in the games.
That I admit was clever, but it didn't make up a whole season, especially the first half which just spammed as many one sided TR battles as possible (often even interrupting real battles the moment they required actual strategy).
Maybe it's bias, part of my apathy towards XYZ's battles was that so many of the Pokemon (and even some of the trainers) were cardboard, so didn't infuse as much personality into that strategy.
Controversial Opinion: Greninja was way more boring to watch than Froakie.
Bringing them back would be heavily forced in my opinion since the title is "Kalos Queen" and thats what performers aim to be. If the series pulls a BF and make a return to Kalos, then I guess I wouldn't mind seeing it improved upon. If they decide to expand the goal to other regions I hope they change the title to make it more inclusive.Lana I admit has potential as a performer since her Pokemon at least has a unique battle style that would likely negate it relying on spamming basic strategies to win all the time. Lana's water type specialising would likely also grant her a gimmick to prevent her being the vanilla protagonist of the tournaments. She'd probably need at least on more Pokemon however.
CO: I'd gladly take the showcases returning if they did to them what Sinnoh did to the contests, ie. greatly developing the substance in strategies, gimmicks and opposition to make them entertaining in their own right instead of just a barebones pivot for the female companion's personality development.
Id rather not see Showcases return at all. I'd rather the female lead do gyms instead.

The more "special" things they give Ash like aura powers, Ash-Greninja, the chosen one of Shamouti Island, Azelf's chosen person to which it reveals itself, and finally Cosmog's protector, the more it cheapens his character because it seems like the writers and marketing department are trying too hard to make Ash special. After all, when getting special things becomes his new status quo, then he stops being special. He just traded status quos.
I think the only exceptions to this are Charizard, Krookodile and Infernape
Especially since Cosmog was suppose to be taken care of by an entirely different character. Not only are trying to make him special but they're stealing other people storylines just to make him "special"The more "special" things they give Ash like aura powers, Ash-Greninja, the chosen one of Shamouti Island, Azelf's chosen person to which it reveals itself, and finally Cosmog's protector, the more it cheapens his character because it seems like the writers and marketing department are trying too hard to make Ash special.
