The Top Ten
1 Brock Brock is a character from Pokemon and is created by game freak & Nintendo. He was the first gym leader in pewter city, and specializes in rock Pokemon . ...read more.

Well, if we are going to replace him, there should at least be a good ending for him.

2 Gary Oak Gary oak appeared in the anime series in seasons 1-5 . He was ash's rival and childhood friend . Though they had a dispute once they fought over a rusty pokeball they wanted for luck, which broke after they fought over it . Gary was the grandson of professor oak . He had cheerleaders & his own car. There where a lot of things he did to irritate ash, such as write things addressing ash, to picking on him . After he lost to ash at the Johto league, he decided to be a Pokemon researcher ... even though he always beat ash afterwords when they battled . So he wasn't ash's rival anymore, and they were a lot friendlier around each other . Gary even gave ash the other half of the pokeball at some point ...read more.

Good. He actually has strong pokemon like arcanine!

Gary Oak Pokemon series? I NEED IT!

4 Misty Misty, known as Kasumi in Japan, is a character in the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri. She’s the gym leader in Cerulean city & specializes in water Pokemon. In the games, she’s known as ‘the tomboy mermaid.’ ...read more.

She can prove to be a better trainer than Ash if the anime focuses on her

5 Cilan Cilan is one of the three Gym Leaders of Striaton City's Gym, known officially as the Striaton Gym, in Pokemon Black and White. In the anime, he is classified as an A-class Pokemon Connoisseur and traveled with Ash Ketchum in the Unova region. He first debuted in Triple Leaders, Team Threats!.
6 Red Red is a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town, Kanto. He is the first character to be playable in the Pokémon series and his initial appearance is set in the Generation I main games. He has since then made various appearances in Pokémon media, including the Generation III remakes of Red, Green, Blue, FireRed and LeafGreen.

Red should replaced because he is far stronger than ash ketchum who doesn't evolve his pokémon, and only won orange island and battle resort

7 Tracey Sketchit
8 Steven Stone

Steven needs a show of him.

9 May

She is a good coordinator and who has same taste like and sexy figure too

10 Clemont Clemont originates in Pokemon XY, created by Nintendo & game freak. is a gym leader of the lumoise city. He specialized in electric Pokemon and is known as a genius. ...read more.

Clemont should be higher on this list. He can actually cook (which is something Ash never learned) and he is a way better hero than Ash ever was. Clemont would be a good replacement for Ash in many ways, but, we have already seen Clemont and we already know him so, it wouldn't make sense for him to replace Ash. I think if Ash truly leaves the whole series, the editors should make a completely new character that we've never met to replace Ash.

Serena digs guys who saves lives, right? Well, he saved lives MORE THAN ONCE!

This makes sense because he's a hell of a lot more of a hero than Ash.

Why is he all the way down here?!

The Contenders
11 Iris Iris is from the Pokemon bwhite version & Pokemon black 2 & white. She ether was the gym leader in Opelucid city in white version. She first appeared to aid Bianca, Burgh, and the playable character when Bianca's Munna was stolen, & acted as a bodyguard. In Black 2 & White 2, she was the champion. Iris ...read more.
12 Giovanni
13 Serena Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl but she can also be openly rebellious towards her mother, Grace. In Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!, she refused to wake up when Grace ordered her to, and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news. This tumultuous relationship was best demonstrated when Grace made her practice Rhyhorn riding, an activity Serena had hated doing. However, their relationship is also very loving as shown in later episodes. Although shown to have a strong will, Serena can be sensitive and insecure at times as seen in Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!. When she was frustrated with her Pokémon, she lashes out when at her limit and leaves ...read more.

Oh hell no. I don't want to watch her to go on a journey to become Ash-senpai's lover. I want a Pokemon adventure. Not some cringey love story

14 Flannery Flannery, known as Asuna in Japan, is the Gym Leader of the Lavaridge Gym in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

Ash what will be your last words...

She is better than him...

15 Drew

He is one of those few minor characters that grew better with development as the plot progress. He was so annoying at first but that was also a part of his character. I don't want him to become the regular main character but a few episodes on him where he catches pokemonso, battles some rivals and fights against the odds. It would be nice to feature him as a team partner for May's.

Robert, Drew, solidad, Virgil and DAWN are my choices.
And to that Contestshipper, stop bringing May everywhere with Drew. Sure Drew protects May and they have that two sided thing for each other but I think Drew should concentrate on his goal. He is ten years old. He needs to be a Top coordinator first.

He has well raised pokemon. If he catches more strong pokemon. Focuses on a better journey than romancing that trollop May. Then he can be a great adventurous character

He is so handsome with green hair. He likes May and he is perfect for her

16 Alain

Better than Red

17 Tobias
18 Hilbert
19 Jimmy

He should have been real main character developing based off Gold than Ash! Or better yet! Ash would have met Gold in later on! Like that one shown in manga though ~

20 Bonnie Bonnie is created by game freak & Nintendo. She was in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, as Clemont's (the electric type gym leader of Lumiose City) younger sister. She gave out quizzes to trainers who came to challenge the gym, who if they get it wrong would have to challenge a trainer. ...read more.

Well she could make the cut because she young then could get older and be the new here o she is very helpful tooo add her she rocks

21 Calem

Guess what! Nuke Ash's overrated butt and his never ending annoying saga. Calem is cuter stronger better than some trash Ketchup.

22 Dawn Dawn is a character from Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. In the games diamond, pearl, and platinum version she was one of the playable characters you can choose from. She will be an assistant for professor Rowan if you choose her male counterpart, Lucas. ...read more.
