| Finally Satoshi can have a deserved rest. Since the Greninja fiasco, I dropped the anime, but hearing about the end of his travel its just... unbelievable. New mcs dont have any attractive at all, but since is aiming for the kids and Pokémon players, well, ppl will love them. |

| Although this was something inevitable, I didn't expect this to happen at the end of this season. Hopefully, one day, I'll finish up the remaining episodes that I haven't checked out since the original series. Maybe I'll just stick to the yearly web series, they better not stop making those. |

| I guess I now have a reason to actually try and watch all of the Pokémon anime up to this point properly sometime. 25 years of being a 10 year old... kid self probably wouldn't believe it but I'm actually a bit relieved that there will be a proper end! It'd still be cool if Satoshi shows up as a brief cameo at the beginning of the new series to pass the torch onto the new protagonist(s) like with Yu-Gi-Oh GX and (kinda like) the most recent Pretty Cure series though... probably just me thinking that though... Also I heard something weird was going on with OLM recently. Hope they're doing all right, maybe they can take it a bit easy now too or something... |

| Wow, I am excited for all these announcements |
| End of an era 😢. |
| Does this mean that Pokémon has moved to the Gundam/PreCure system now? knktzvra said: Finally Satoshi can have a deserved rest.

Judging by the latest show, people will just ship them, pretending the writers haven't denied any romance in the franchise. |
 |
| So... Satoshi finally turned into Ash? |
 |
| End of an Era. After all this years Ash's story will finally end. |
 |
Pure white ash... |
 |
| ...comment of the year? |
| So sad. Ash and Pikachu are the symbols of Pokemon. New characters look so shallow comparing to them. |
 |
| That blob of pink hair sticking from under new boy's cap looks so out of place. Reminds me of that haircut associated with 'bussin fr fr' speaking youth. |
| AnimeThemes.moe <- the largest collection of anime Openings & Endings on the Web AnimeMusicQuiz.com <- guess an anime from your list by it's Opening/Ending music browser game |
| Bye Bye Ash So long partner 😭 |
| "When There Is Evil In This World That Justice Cannot Defeat, Would You Taint Your Hands With Evil To Defeat Evil? Or Would You Remain Steadfast And Righteous Even If It Means Surrendering To Evil?" |
| Wut? The forever 10 years-old kid's journey is actually going to end soon??? No way! Joke aside, I highly doubt they would retire Satoshi/Ash completely and reduce him to a merely cameo for the new anime considering how much of a mascot and cash cow the guy has been since like forever. Let's wait and see how long he would stay behind the shadow lol. The new MC's designs looks like they're clones of the Pokemon game;s avatars or something lol |
I guess that all his fans are gonna snort him now. :P |
 |
| Looking forward to meeting Riko-chan. |
 |
| no more team rocket too then sad |
| I have so many fond memories of the original Pokémon anime and Pokémon Advanced. I hope this new series will be able to provide fantastic memories for kids watching today ^.^ |

Fario-P said: I’m kinda hoping that it won’t be too directly tied to the latest show. I really want to watch it to see the conclusion to Ash’s story, but I don’t think I can catch up on the hundreds of episodes that have aired since the diamond and pearl anime lolI guess I now have a reason to actually try and watch all of the Pokémon anime up to this point properly sometime. 25 years of being a 10 year old... kid self probably wouldn't believe it but I'm actually a bit relieved that there will be a proper end! |
|
| A part of me is happy but the other part of me is sad to see Ash/Satoshi be done. Watching him my whole life so it’s like an era has come to and end lol. But I do hope we get more stuff like Origins one day |
 |
| The end of an era I told everyone I knew that Ash was being retired now that he pretty much is a master, so I'm glad that his story is being put to rest.....Its gonna be a super emotional last cour of eps but I'm ready Curious to know if this new MC is Ash's daughter tho |
| Was kinda hoping they'd revert back to the XYZ artstyle for this finale. Back into the on-hold queue you go. |
 |
| Wow, the end of an era, seriously. I am glad they're giving Ash a whole send-off mini-season though. Frankly, he deserves it. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
malvarez1 said: Yes, he deserves it, I agree. It is simply that these news characters, they even create another one with thoughts that only one can't achieve Ash's level. are so dull and pale comparing to Ash and Pikachu.Wow, the end of an era, seriously. I am glad they're giving Ash a whole send-off mini-season though. Frankly, he deserves it. Bye, legend. You will always be in hearts of people. OP starts from 3:58, prior is CM block. |
