Top 10 Characters Who Should Replace Ash Ketchum in the Pokemon Series

1. Brock

   

   Brock is a character in the Pokémon franchise created by Game Freak and Nintendo. He is the Gym Leader of Pewter City in the Kanto region and specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. In the anime, he becomes one of Ash's traveling companions after Ash defeats him in a gym battle.... 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 during Seasons 1 through 5. He was Ash's rival and childhood friend. The two once fought over a rusty Poké Ball they both wanted for good luck, which ended up breaking during the argument.... read more

   Good. He actually has strong Pokémon like Arcanine.

   Gary Oak Pokémon series? I NEED IT!

3. James

   

4. Misty

   

   Misty, known as Kasumi in Japan, is a character in the Pokémon franchise. She is the Gym Leader in Cerulean City and specializes in Water-type Pokémon. In the games, she is known as the Tomboyish Mermaid.

   In the anime, she is Ash's first traveling companion. She has three older sisters who often... 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 the Striaton City Gym, officially known as the Striaton Gym, in the Pokémon Black and White video games. In the anime, he is classified as an A-class Pokémon Connoisseur and travels with Ash Ketchum throughout the Unova region. He first appeared in the episode... read more

6. Red

   

   Red is a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town in the Kanto region. He is the first playable character in the Pokémon video game series, debuting in the original Generation I games.

   He has since reappeared in various Pokémon media, including the Generation III remakes FireRed and LeafGreen, which are... read more

   Red should replace him because he is far stronger than Ash Ketchum, who doesn't evolve his Pokémon and only won the Orange League and the Battle Frontier.

7. Tracey Sketchit

8. Steven Stone

   

   Steven needs a show of his own.

9. Clemont

   

   Clemont is a character from Pokémon XY, created by Nintendo and Game Freak. He is the Gym Leader of Lumiose City and specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. Clemont is known for his intelligence and inventive skills.

   In the Pokémon anime, he traveled with Ash during seasons 17 to 19. He was able... read more

   Clemont is the humor we've all been looking for. Also, we'd have an excuse for another Kalos region season. Also, Clemont can cook.

   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.

10. Iris

    

    Iris is a character from the Pokémon video games Black, White, Black 2, and White 2. In the original White version, she serves as the Gym Leader of Opelucid City. In the sequels, Black 2 and White 2, she becomes the Champion of the Unova region, and she specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon.... read more

    Lucas

    Hilbert

    
The Contenders

13. May

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

    Love her. Please vote for her because Ash loves May and May loves Ash.

14. Serena

    

    Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl, though she can also be openly rebellious toward her mother, Grace. In "Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!", she refused to wake up when Grace ordered her to and responded sassily to her mother's call to watch the news. Their tense relationship was... read more

15. Giovanni

    

16. Flannery

    

    Flannery, known as Asuna in Japan, is the Gym Leader of the Lavaridge Gym in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. She is the fourth Gym Leader that players face in the Hoenn region and specializes in Fire-type Pokémon. Her strongest Pokémon in those games is Torkoal, which uses defensive and Fire-type moves.

    She is better than him.

17. Tobias

    

18. Drew

    He is one of those few minor characters that got better with development as the plot progressed. 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 Pokémon, battles some rivals, and fights against the odds would be nice. It would also be nice to feature him as a team partner for May.

    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.

19. Alain

    Better than Red.

20. Dawn

    

    Dawn is one of the playable characters in the Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum versions of the Pokémon games. If the player selects the male character, Lucas, Dawn serves as Professor Rowan's assistant.

    In the anime, Dawn co-stars with Ash throughout the Diamond and Pearl series (seasons 10 to 13... read more

21. Calem

22. Ethan

23. Jimmy

    He should have been the real main character, developing based off Gold rather than Ash. Or better yet, Ash would have met Gold later on, like the one shown in the manga.

24. Bonnie

    

    Bonnie is a character created by Game Freak and Nintendo. She appears in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y as the younger sister of Clemont, the Electric-type Gym Leader in Lumiose City. At the gym, she presents quizzes to trainers who challenge Clemont, and those who answer incorrectly must battle a trainer.... read more

    Well, she could make the cut because she is young and could get older and be the new hero. She is very helpful too. Add her. She rocks.
