... How do you even watch Pokémon if you hate Ash, Dawn, /and/ Team Rocket? And Gary hasn't been shown in years and was never a... bzuh?

I must admit a certain sympathy in concept, but yeah, there's a difference between "Obviously I don't own pokemon because if I did I'd change it in X way" and "I'd return it to its early perfection, which is to say some sort of delusion I acquired, possibly through head injury."

To be charitable, they might mean supporting cast member, who are "main" compared to episode-of-the-day characters. But that's still pretty stupid.
