If you wanna take a different approach to the series, then I say go for it. I understand the feeling of wanting to make your own unique series. I experimented on BTFF with JSX and all the spinoff series to create my own unique style and eventually my unique storylines. I believe, no matter how much I liked JSX, that the Omniverse series, the last one, was the best because I had finally become unique in my overall story.

I do know that if you want to do this, you will have to plan out your series well in advance. Plan out the basic storyline out before writing and then altering the storyline as it goes. The Pokémon Tales series is NOT the same as I had imagined it at the beginning. It altered a bit before I started writing, and even while writing. I started with having episodes similar to the anime but adding a few twists, to using small parts from anime and manga to support my story. I still heavily use elements from those other media, but I've created enough of my spin on it that it isn't the same story.

My point is that you can either alter as you go, add new ideas to the old story, or start a brand new story. I think that any option would be good, and if starting a new one allows you to explore your story ideas, then you should do that.

As for our most recent crossover, I'm conflicted what to do. One of my major plans is to have a massive crossover featuring all the characters featured in crossovers over the series towards the end. I'm not sure if I want to alter the most recent crossover, but either introduce a new one for the new series, or just introduce the new Kyle in the massive crossover (and confuse in story characters in the process). We can discuss this one more as we go.
