* ''Anime/TheLegendOfThunder'' features a different protagonist trio mostly based on the Gen II playable characters, being Jimmy, Marina, and Vincent. Since Jimmy is based on Gold/Ethan, who faced off [[DuelingDlayerCharacters Red]] in the TrueFinalBoss fight of ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'', one may expect Jimmy to cross over into the main anime series to either become a more-in-depth rival to Ash Ketchum in the Silver Conference or foil one of Team Rocket's scheme. Alas, only Vincent (renamed Jackson in the main series) appears as Ash's League opponent instead of Jimmy, and his design is so generic that you would be forgiven if you think he was just a OneShotCharacter rival instead of someone from the ''The Legend of Thunder'' special. Also, the special never led to Jimmy and friends having their own spin-off show and become the first non-Ash-lead Pokémon series instead of ''Anime/PokemonHorizonsTheSeries''.

* At its core, ''Aim To Be A Pokémon'' had everything it needed to be the ultimate send-off to Ash as the lead protagonist: Brock and Misty would rejoin him on his travels, he would start bringing back all of his old Pokémon after years of them sitting at Oak's Lab, and he would go about seeing the world fresh off his [[spoiler:victory against Leon and becoming World Monarch]]. However, none of this farewell was followed up in a way that satisfied fans; much of the show dedicated itself to being a throwback to ''The Original Series'' by mostly being {{Filler}} episodes designed to tonally and spiritually homage the first few seasons and little else. By the end of it, Ash only got to reunite with Squirtle and Lapras while only adding [[spoiler:Pidgeot]] back to his team and no one else (not even Primeape, who hadn't been seen outside of flashbacks for ''25 years''), many of said Pokémon who did come back got little to do aside from being involved in the plot of the various episodes, Ash never got to reunite with any of his other companions besides [[spoiler:Cilan and Tracey]], any potential follow through of him and Misty or Serena taking up a relationship that was previously teased never happened, and even the [[spoiler:split-up of Team Rocket]] was undone within a few episodes, leaving them to continue following him until the end of time rather than Ash finally defeating Giovanni and disbanding the group for good. Worst yet, the series ends with Ash ''not'' becoming a Pokémon Master like the title implied, let alone rarely being acknowledged as [[spoiler:the World Monarch]], leaving things far too open ended for what was supposed to be his farewell. While it's likely that there are plans for Ash's story to continue--either as a movie[[note]]Though given that animation studio OLM is struggling with staffing issues and haven't made a movie since ''Anime/PokemonSecretsOfTheJungle'' as a result, it's not likely anytime soon[[/note]] or to have him guest star on ''Anime/PokemonHorizonsTheSeries''--the end result left fans disappointed that, unlike other "farewells" such as ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' Season 3 or ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'', he wasn't given proper closure.
