I think that pokemon deserves a new protagonist. Who would this new protagonist be, and what pokemon would they have with him/her?

Name: The Metal Bagon
Pokemon: None, he fights himself.
Cause: To allow pokemon to train people, not vice-versa

How about an older pokemon trainer, like say a 45 year old bald accountant. Appeal to the older crowd if you can wake them up.
Or a character who is Indian or Middle Eastern.

The metal Bagon would be like the Saxton Hale of pokemon. XD
