it's a little weird that he wasn't in the anime considering

He si also gone from the pokespecial manga, in the first chapter at least.

>>30036706
HE WAS GONE IN THE CONCEPT ARTBOOK TOO
HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SKETCH LIKE LILLIE, KUKUI OR HECK EVEN YOUR MOM GOT SOME

Wait, really? That is hilarious.

>>30036638

Ash never has the same rivals from the games, does he?

>>30036833
Sometimes they show up later like Barry and Bianca.

>>30036833
I wonder if the game guys ever get annoyed at the Anime for basically promoting nothing from the games themselves

>>30036638
He got written out because of fan reception, His model and cutscenes were already programmed when he was revealed, but the animu is done in a frame of few weeks in advance so there was time to cut him.

>Ash never has the same rivals from the games, does he?
>What is two regions of smelling someone later

>>30036857
They couldn't possibly, if anything they're probably the ones that tell the anime guys to change it up.
This way the game plot isn't spoiled for anyone who bought it because of the anime.
