| I'm not fully sure how to feel about this personally. It partly feels a bit of a let down, as it could've been more. The reason why I say that, as the bubble of nostalgia misses, as if you been watching the Pokemon anime for past few years, that has been running around so much. So the impact of being hit with it again, falls flat for someone like me. But ir's why I have mixed feelings about it. Because if people who haven't been keeping up with the show see it, they may enjoy it more, and the marks will hit better for them. While yes, it had many good episodic moments, feeling a bit like the old, and is more a celebration of it all in general. But that's just me ngl. |
| So that's how it ends. Not really a huge fan of some of the episodes of this short season. XY and Sun and Moon are the season I am yet to watch/complete, going to get on that sometime later. |
| well nice ending, kinda sad that this is over (long comment about the episode) |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| There were a lot of shots with Oddish in this one, much appreciated. A send off to the big dreamer boy. Hearing Type Wild at the end kinda got me but it wasn't the heart string ripper I anticipated. |
| I don´t believe yet, it the last episode where we enjoyed with Satoshi and Pikachu!!! (β₯_β₯) (β₯_β₯) (β₯_β₯) Satoshi always will be a kid, finding adventures and knowing new pokémons!!! Bye-bye!! kekeke 8/10 |
| tbh the episode was kinda crap, the credits was more emotional than the main episode itself, but at least his journey is over now |
| End of an era, I wish we would have gotten something a bit more consequential but it I guess it would have been against decades of his journey , Satoshi is still going to have more of his adventures. Looking forward to the new main characters and get back into the Pokemon anime. |
What a terrible day for rain. So glad they brought back Pidgeot. This leaves Goodra as the only one Ash did not meet again if I remember correctly. RIP. Gonna miss Team Rocket and Ash/Pikachu so much, especially TR. |
 |
| I'll be blunt: I hated the ending of Ash's journey so much that I had to write a review for it. Ash, Misty and Brock deserved so much more than...this. |

| Feels unreal that the Pokemon storyline featuring Ash has come to an end. This final part had perhaps not the best written episodes compared to peak Pokemon, but I appreciate the idea of one last journey with the OG cast and all Pokemon Ash befriended on his long journey. Hard to not get emotional now. 7/10 |

Well... damn i'm holding back tears ... i don't know if i have the words to share my thoughts but i'm happy with this last journey of the orginal Pokémon characters. This episode was so nostalgic and it's melancholic in a way. it's sad to say goodbye to iconic Pokémon figures in pop culture history but at the same time it was a great run. from 1997 to 2023 truly one of the best shows in the whole world. this anime has raised generations of Pokémon fans all over the globe. and it will never be forgotten.  |

| Sayonara, Ash! It still feels unreal, especially with how this season and ending was somewhat underwhelming, but that means that it's not over for him and Pikachu, I think? Let's hope they'll make a cameo in Horizons. It's really raining a lot, isn't it. ç_ç but also... i wish that this season was more like... a celebration of *all* the anime. instead of not showing may, serena, dawn, hell even old rivals like ritchie... like, i liked the season but it was mostly "pokemon of the week" with episodes like banette's which while good could've been done in previous seasons... idk. or not even having a gary vs ash fight, not showing ho-oh, not making ash catch latias... but im obv still crying. ash's journey is finally over, and yet i'm not ready for it. |

| can't believe it's over :( |
| This time it's really finished. πβ A very nice little series to conclude the end of Ash and Pikachu. πβ |
| This episode was a nice send off for Ash/Satoshi, but overall this show was just okay with some good parts here and there. Which honestly sums up my feeling about most of Ash/Satoshi's journey (the one I watched), and okay journey with some hype moments every now and then. |
| Not gonna lie, I expected a little bit more from this episode. Then again it's a kids anime and I'm an adult now. It was nice to see Pidgeot again, but we didn't see Primeape apart from some flashbacks. I think we might get new movies with Ash and Pikachu. Goodbye for now... |
 |
| The end of an era! It feels almost unreal that this crazy adventure of more than 25 years has come to an end. Pokémon is possibly the series that has accompanied me the longest throughout my life, so it's sad to say goodbye. Thank you Ash and his inseparable companion Pikachu, forever and ever a true Pokémon Master <3... |
 |
| As an ending for one of the arguably longest running anime ever made it was a little unsatisfying. I think leaving it open ended made sense since he's still just a kid and has a lot of stuff to do (He's barely aged since the begining), but They could've definitely done more with these last few episodes than just making some of the old mons reappear. Especially team rocket deserved a proper conclusion. Instead they are doomed to unsuccessfully try and catch pikachu for the rest of eternity. Well, at least they're having fun doing it. Despite it all, this has been a decent season. I'm sure this won't be the last time we'll see ash and the gang or even team rocket. I just hope they can finally age now. Anyway, this is just an opinion of a long time pokemon fan, who stopped following the anime 17/18 years ago and only watched a few episodes and movies since then. |
| It's over.... :') |
  |
| A perfect send off. |

| Leaving this here... thank you for everything Ash. |

| After years and years of following Ash's journey, it has finally come to an end. What a very bittersweet feeling it is but ultimately, we must move on. This little series is a nice heartwarming sendoff to one of the most iconic anime characters of all time as we revisit old companions and relive the journey that started it all. Sad to see it all end but the new cast seems promising so it's not all that bad. Pokemon Heroes is also one of my most favorite Pokemon movies of all time so seeing them revisit that part of the franchise really made me happy. Latios, Latias, Alto Mare, Bianca... still a very beautiful movie. 7/10 |

| Well. Gonna preface that I've watched this show, and most everything else, dubbed. I've seen a lot of the pokémon stuff. I'd say everything that's been dubbed, plus a bit more, minus paldean wings (and, you know, the series following this). Yet, I didn't actually care much. Decent episode for sure, but it's been a while since Pokémon actually surprised me with the episodic plot. I've got similar complaints to other people here saying that they could have done much more with the final season, but I'm fine with what we got. The one thing that I had to comment on, though, was the "Pokémon Master" thing. I'm fine with Gary pointing it out. I'm fine with Ash deciding that it had nothing to do with battles, but that seemed to go the opposite direction of Journeys, where Ash was the battling guy, while Goh was the catching guy. He is always friendly towards Pokémon though, so sure. Yet, what got me was the "Being a Pokémon Master means being friend with every Pokémon". Like, I get the idea, but it's an actually unobtainable goal, and I would have expected that Ash wouldn't specifically treat Pokémon like a different and numberable species. If a young girl tells you that she wants to befriend everyone, then you know she can't, but it's because of youth and inexperience. Ash, though, while "young", has a lot of experience, and knows that many different Pokémon of each species exist. Plus, Pokémon are continuously dying and being born, making it as generic a goal as World peace. It's one thing to have that be your new goal, but to say that that's what it takes to be a Pokémon Master in your book? Then no one would ever be, and it feels like we just wasted a whole arc in Journeys where you didn't do anything close to that. I do like his comment about still feeling like a challenger, though. That sounds like something he's said before after beating powerful foes, and it makes even more sense when you take into account that he had bonus power-ups against Leon, and wouldn't have won without them. Anyways, I did not cry. Liked the stick thing, even if it was at the end of Journeys just a few episodes back, I seem to recall it in one of the earlier season's earlier episodes. And I also like that Ho-Oh didn't appear, he was there at the end of Journeys, and I didn't think it would add anything else. |
| I don't care what Ash or Gary says, in my mind Ash is already a Pokemon master. He has won it all and travelled multiple regions while solving problems for thousands of Pokemon and making strong bonds. |
| Here I am again... It was 2 years and a few months rewatching one of the animes that was part of my childhood  The best trio  Hey bro π³π³π³  The worst/best villains of all  The unforgettable bird of route 1  And here I end my routine of watching Satoshi and Pikachu's adventures. It's crazy to think that I watched more than a thousand episodes of Pokémon just like I did with One Piece o.O Sayonara Satoshi and Pikachu, see you someday. |
 |
| After so many years Ash's journey finally come to a "end", well not really π. It's crazy to think that I have watched over 1200+ episodes of Pokemon and finally seeing it end leaves me feeling happy that I have witnessed the whole journey from start to finish but also sad knowing that its over now. There have been way too many iconic moments and memories I have made while watching this show that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you to Ash and Pikachu for the last 26 years as you both have had an impact on millions of people's lives. It's gonna be really weird knowing that a new series will be airing without Ash and Pikachu as the main characters, hopefully anyone that watches it finds it enjoyable as my journey with the Pokemon anime has also come to an end. |
