Tread carefully, of course. If you have to rewrite something, feel free to do it if you think it's necessary. Just be weary of what all could and would change if you do.

Hey look, we've all been there at some point or another. I don't know if you remember but my series was a literal crossover with Kirby. The main villain of that side was named Dark Kirby of all things. Don't put yourself down too much. I'm personally against mobianized pokemon, but I don't wanna see you berate yourself over it. It's one of those things that you have to think about: "Does my series really need this?" and "What will happen if I remove it?"

To this day I'm still weeding out the old early installment weirdness from my series; things that I feel it would be better off without. In doing so, I've had to re-write or even remove characters or entire episodes.

Through all that, you also should take into consideration what you want out of your series. Everyone else has their own opinions; some helpful and some not so much, but don't forget that it's your story.
