A few hours ago I just found out that Pokemon Anime will leave Ash Ketchum and Pikachu behind to make room for two new protagonists.

Could this be bad for the idea of turning Pokemon Live! into either an NBC Live Musical telecast or a Off-Broadway/Broadway revival ?! Who knows? I hope we can petition NBC and Pokemon International to give us something new for the lost Pokemon Live! show.
