How would you rewrite the anime with a different character for every season/series?

I know that I asked how you would rewrite your least favorite season before, but I was curious. So, I would make the protagonists based off the player characters of the respective generation. There would be both a male and female player character appearing, and the girls would actually be dual protagonists with the male protagonists instead of traveling companions that are only there for one season.

Indigo League:
  • I would keep Ash, Brock and Misty. Red traveling would have been nice, but since there is already a game based on the anime, I would just keep Ash.
  • Ash would win the Indigo League.
  • Team Rocket would succeed in stealing Pikachu.
Gold and Silver:
  • I would make Jimmy and Marina the main protagonists.
  • Make Silver appear and be Jimmy's main rival.
Advanced Generation:
  • Brendan and May would be the main protagonists.
  • Team Aqua and Magma would be the main villains.
  • There would be no Pikachu or Charizard.
  • Brendan would do the battles and May would still be a Coordinator. He would later go challenge the Battle Frontier.
  • Wally would be Brendan's rival.
  • Max would stay at home or have a team of Pokemon. His team would be a starter (Mudkip -> Marshtomp -> Swampert), Swablu -> Altaria, Lotad -> Lombre -> Ludicolo, Poochyena -> Mightyena, Wingull -> Pelipper and Bagon -> Shelgon -> Salamence.
  • The Battle Frontier would not take place in Kanto, so May's team would be Minun, Plusle, Munchlax and Eevee instead of Squirtle and Bulbasaur.
Diamond and Pearl:
  • Dawn and Lucas would be the protagonists.
  • Dawn and Barry would be childhood friends.
  • Team Galactic would be the main villains.
  • Barry would be Luca's rival.
  • Dawn would still do Contests and Lucas would challenge the Gyms and the Battle Frontier.
Black and White:
  • Hilda and Hilbert would be the main protagonists.
  • Iris would Drayden's Gym Assistant.
  • Bianca and Cheren would be the rivals. Cheren would later become a Gym Leader, and the Aspertia Gym is where Hilda and Hilbert meet Rosa and Nate.
  • Rosa and Nate would join Hilda and Hilbert halfway.
  • Hilda would challenge the Gyms.
  • Hugh would appear.
  • Team Plasma would be the main villains.
  • Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem would appear.
  • There would be a two year time skip. Cheren would have become a Gym Leader and Bianca would have become Professor Juniper's assistant.
  • After the time skip, Hilda and Hilbert would meet Rosa, Nate and Hugh.
  • Nate would challenge the Gyms.
  • The Plasma Frigate would appear.
  • N would play a major role.
  • Hilda challenges the BW Gym Leaders, and Nate challenges the B2W2 Gym Leaders.
XY:
  • The main protagonists would be Serena and Calem. Serena would not have a crush on Calem, and the protagonists would be older.
  • Serena and Calem would receive a Mega Ring. Serena receives Mega Absol, and Calem receives Mega Alakazam.
  • Shauna, Trevor and Tierno would be the main rivals. Shauna would not do Showcases, and instead be a battling rival.
  • Serena would not do Pokemon Showcases and she would also not change her outfit or cut her hair short.
  • Calem would be a Sky Trainer.
  • Emma would appear.
  • Team Flare would be the main villains. Xerneas and Yveltal would appear in the main series, and Team Flare would launch the Ultimate Weapon.
  • Serena would defeat Alain in the Kalos League.
SM:
  • The main protagonists would be Selene and Elio.
  • Hau would be the main rival.
  • Lillie would permanently switch to the outfit that she picked by herself. Her team would also be Clefairy, Cutiefly, Comfey and Alolan Ninetales. She would not be afraid of touching Pokemon, but have her role in the games where she takes care of Nebby.
  • Lusamine would be evil.
  • There would be something related to Team Rainbow Rocket.
  • The Trial Captains would have their roles in the games, and the protagonists would challenge them.
SWSH:
  • The protagonists would be Gloria and Victor.
  • Hop would be the main rival.
  • Bede would appear.
  • They would later go to the Isle of Armor, where they meet Kubfu and then go the Crown Tundra, where they meet Calyrex, Spectrier and Glastrier. At the end, they would compete in the Galarian Star Tournament.
SV:
  • The main protagonists would be Florian and Juliana.
  • Arven would have a major role.
  • The Titan Pokemon would be shown.
  • Sada and Turo would appear.
  • The main legendary Pokemon would be Koraidon, and the protagonists would permanently attend Naranja Academy, but then transfer to Blueberry Academy and meet Terapagos. They would also go to Kitakami and meet Ogerpon and Pecharunt.
  • Team Star would appear.
