I think more people would be turned off by the fact that she constantly reviews others' stories for no other reason than to enforce her own OPINIONS as if they were fact [[WallBanger(i.e. insulting people for capitalizing the names of Pokemon)]], flaming anyone who even slightly disagrees with her (quite literally, she often tells people who disagree with her that she wants to see them burn), and just trolling in general. And she does this on a LOT of fics. Even on quality stories. This tends to backfire, as most reviews on her own stories tend to be retaliatory flames. It's like what would happen if Uwe Boll finally put out a good movie. It could be the best movie ever, but he's put out so much crap, and been so arrogant towards pretty much everyone over the years, that no one would actually care how good it was. She's not a bad author, but she IS a bad person, and that tends to turn people off even more than the quality of the work.

Oh, TvTropes rec page, never stop being so awesomely hilarious.

(Also, I'd like to point to this as Exhibit #45678 of why I tune out people saying I should be nicer. Telling people not to capitalize pokemon is insulting them!)

Actually, the original plan for the series was to end it with the movie. In fact, the original ending was going to include an older Misty dragging along a child (presumably Ash's, but there is another woman in the shot) and an aged Pikachu looking off into the sunset. I mean, originally it was going to end with Pikachu running to the child and signify the inheritence of pokemon to the next generation.

After seeing it many years after the first movie and Johto, I think it would have been a great ending to the franchise and the games could just continue, but apparently they wanted to rake in more cash.

Once again, artistic finesse loses out to money.

Hm. I mean, that's obviously better than what we've got now, but I have to admit that would still be a bit unsatisfying if we never saw Ash vs Giovanni.

I really wish they'd reset the franchise with a new character for each region, though.

That would be nice! Then we could have actual plot and character arcs!

That's why the manga is so much better!
