How I would rewrite Pokemon
Make Misty lesbian
Give Ash PTSD from his several deaths because no way he just casually moves on from dying
Clemont is autistic now.
Satosere is canon because I said so
Team Rocket are consistently competent whilst also serving as comic relief. They may not seem like a threat, but they can switch up real quick
Misty continues traveling with Ash. She just kinda has her own character arc where she tried to separate herself from her sisters and be her own person, and the payoff for this character arc is when she refuses to go back to Cerulean Gym when her sisters try and ditch the place to go on vacation at the end of the Johto series
Misty and Ash both end up seeing Ash's several deaths in Memories In The Mist. I saw it in a fanart and I think it's such a cool concept
Transmasc Brock. I'm not elaborating
The characters actually age normally (Ash starts his adventure in this at 13 and is 18 by XYZ, and 20 by the time he's in Paldea)
Speaking of Paldea, have Ash actually travel to there with Misty, Serena and other characters relevant to that region (Nemona and Arven, perhaps?)
Make it a TV-14. This can allow more violence, heavier topics and some profanity.
