So, would you just have Nintendo and the Pokemon Co. ignore the huge cash-cow that is the anime?

You have to admit that if you polled the average North American, 10 times as many people would recognize the name Ash Ketchum as would recognize Red.

The way you're putting it it's almost like the Pokémon games aren't already a huge cash-cow what with their low budget values and ridiculous constant 15m+ sales. Instead, you're asking for a high-budget game based on an outdated anime older people don't care anymore and isn't as big with children, and has unproven selling power.

That, and well, yes I would just have Nintendo and the Pokémon Co. ignore the anime, because I don't care about how much money they're making as long as it's enough to keep giving me awesome games, for which I'm sure the main Pokémon games are already doing well enough. I'd rather have these than a crappy new game based on a crappy TV show.

Yeah, you make a good point.
