I was wondering the creators the anime series do a few what if scenario episodes based in the first season of the anime. These what if episodes are points of divergence from critical moments in Ash's early adventure. Here is a few examples
What if Ash had woke up on time and got to Oaks lab before Gary?
What if Ash had successfully captured the Spearow after setting off?
What if Jessie and James defeated Caterpie in Viridian Forrest?
What if Charizard did attack Zippo in the Indigo Conference
 
What if Paul and Ash met Celadon City?(I wanna see Paul intelligently insult perfume)
What if Ash didn't see the pokemon league ad?
What if Tyson met Ash in the indigo league?
What if Gary's ego was not shattered?
What if May was unwilling to face her fear of pokemon?
What if Brock had game?
 
I meant actual events and not alternate characterization. Ash did not need to see a pokemon league add almost all 10 year old kids in generation 1 wanted to compete in the league. Paul would of started his adventure in Sinnoh at the same time Ash was starting in Kanto. Events that would of been different and would of been a major impact. For instant had Ash actually woke on time it is likely that Ash would of gotten a Squirtle from Professor Oak, met the female trainer who got the Bulbasaur (In my opinion Richie was the trainer who got Charmander as his parents pied extra so their son could get a pokemon from Oak himself). That means that Gary would of gotten Pikachu (it is likely that Professor Oak originally intended to give Gary Pikachu as he felt that Gary would of been able to control Pikachu. Giving Pikachu to Ash in the canon series was a special case, it could likely that Oak would of refused to give Ash a pokemon as Oak felt that Ash was too irresponsible).

If Ash had caught Spearow then Ash and Pikachu would not been attacked by Spearow's flock and Ash and Pikachu friendship would of take far longer to spark. Also it would been likely that Ash would never of met Misty before the Cerulean Gym. Also Ash would not of met Jessie and James, meaning that Jessie and Jame's criminal career would of succeeded.(Also Professor Oak would win the bet with his grandson Gary "Mtherfking" Oak. Ok that wasn't imporant story wise but it was comedic)

If Jessie and James defeated Ash's Caterpie in Viridian Forest, Misty would of tried to intervene by sending out one of her water-pokemon that was capable of fighting on land (Staryu) but gets defeated when James used his Weepinbell (I don't know where or James got his Weepinbell as James said that he found it has evolved into a Victreebel when sneaking into the Breeding Center, so I assume James had Weepinbell the whole time but never mentioned it or used it before the Breeding Center Episode). James then had Weepinbell to use sleeping powder to put Ash and Misty to sleep. Then Jessie and James then kidnapped Ash and Misty and had them recruited into Team Rocket.

DUDE! besides the last one it is alternate character development not alternate characterization! And it is events or lack there of cause that alternate character development!

What if Paul defeated Ash in the quarters of the Sinnoh League?
What if Gary was in Unova?
 
The purpose of these what if special episodes are for season 1 anything later is void
 
Can we keep everything to generation 1 or generation 2.

Why? You don't like later seasons. I think we should be able to talk about it.

What if Ash flew to Mistralton City instead Nuvema town?
What if Misty decided to enter the Pokemon league?
What if Ash didn't break his clock?
What if James never courted Jessiebelle?
What if Ash and Paul meant in Kanto? (they were there at the same time)
What if Ash actually trained for the Indigo League?
What if Gary relied on six pokes rather than rotation?
 
What if Nurse Joy liked Brock?
What if Ash's mom came with Ash cause she felt he wasn't old enough?
What if Ash flunked out of school?
What if pikachu decided to stay with his pika friends?
WHAT IF BUTTERFREE STAYED?!!
 
What if Trip was actually N?
What if Pidgeot and Primeape showed up again?
What if Ash fought Cynthia?
What if Brock had left after Johto?
What if Harley was right about May?
What if Johto had actual villains?
 
What if Ash didn't break his clock?
We'd have met the other two trainers, and they'd have taken the Bulbasaur and Charmander in front of Ash's eyes, leaving him still with Pikachu because Oak can't plan ahead (or remember your name and gender).

What if what's his face didn't have a Darkrai and Latios in the Sinnoh League?
Her with one of these - just for some more trolling from the writers.

What if Paul defeated Ash in the quarters of the Sinnoh League?
He'd beat Pikachu when they got back to the hotel.

What if Ash's mom came with Ash cause she felt he wasn't old enough?
Mr Mime would be lonely.

WHAT IF BUTTERFREE STAYED?!!
He'd be fighting with Heracross for access to Bulbasaur

What if Ash fought Cynthia?
Extreme fan rage, regardless of the result.

What if Harley was right about May?
May would need to buy him an Octillery snack.

What if Nurse Joy liked Brock?
This.
