Heck no.
I'd love to see Brock, Kiawe, Cilan, May, Dawn, etc have been up to since we've last seen them. Spending an episode with an old character easily tops Ash meeting/helping some COTD/POTD
Like if Ash went to Pewter or Cerulean City and made no effort to visit Brock or Misty.... I'd be steaming mad!
And many fans are quite upset over the neglect Tracey's been given, not even a freaking cameo at Oak's lab! Tracey deserves better
Now Max and Bonnie? Yeah, they can stay gone. Not like they're going to change any when Ash is still 10, if they actually aged everyone up a few years then I'd change my stance on these two
So you'd be ok with Max and Bonnie if they were 10 yr old trainers?
