Every Pokemon Game to Feature Ash Ketchum
Strong character designs form the core of the Pokemon franchise. The necessity of appealing Pokemon is obvious, but a lot of work goes into the other characters that players meet on their journeys. From the main protagonist and regional Professor all the way to the Elite Four and Champion, the Pokemonfranchise is built on marketable designs. This plays a large part in the enduring relevance of older monsters, especially as they are brought forward alongside new designs.
