They got rid of Jynx (Rougela) because Africans were offended by its design after the English dub of the episode "Holiday Hi-Jynx" aired, which only broadcast once. They got rid of Brock (Takeshi) because they get rid of all of Ash (or, Satoshi in Japanese)'s traveling companions because that's what happens when Ash travels to a new region. Ash had to get rid of Cilan and Iris at the end of his Unova journey when going to Kalos. It happens between every region Ash visits.
