Tbh I'm not that surprised. Localized names used to be very common in anime in the 90s from Sailor Moon to Yu-Gi-Oh to Detective Conan but that isn't really a thing anymore. Ironically, the Pokemon games do still localize most names to match some of the puns but I also wouldn't be surprised that...

Tbh I actually think it will be just Ash and Pikachu.

How can you vote anyone other than Pikachu lol? Ash's Pikachu is so iconic that it caused TPC to turn Pikachu into the mascot of the overall franchise even outside the anime. I don't think Pokemon even had a mascot before the anime

1. Sinnoh 2. M8 3. Alola 4. Kalos 5. Johto 6. Hoenn 7. Kanto 8. Unova

I can't believe people are so obsessed with shipping a 10 year old. The most embarrassing part is I know some of the people arguing actually self-insert as Ash which is an entirely another level of pathetic

All good points. And Pokemon isn't a shonen manga franchise where only guys are leads. The games have had female lead options for more than 20 years now and all Pokemon media outside anipoke reflect that. It's not a shocker that fans want the anime to finally catch up to the rest of the...

I don't really care who's the battler of the new series hence me not even being in that convo but I'm not surprised people want it to be the girl. The girl has been a MC option in the games since Gen 2 but since Ash was the MC, that meant no girl doing the gym challenge or battling as a primary...

Pokemon at its core is about battling. That's what the core gameplay is about and the most marketed episodes of the anime feature battling. Whoever the lead is should have their goal be about battling and they will do so. No one wants Pokemon: Fruit Baskets edition.

By Naruto standards, even the female characters in Pokemon are elite. That's how bad it is in Naruto

No shot you're actually getting defensive about people saying Naruto's female characters are horribly written. No way lmaoooo

Most battle shonen female characters are poorly written but even by those low standards, Naruto was awful at writing them. It was one of those things where even as a kid, I was like this dude can't write women for sh*t lmaoooo

She's got the Sprigatito so she better be. Best starter needs to go to the battler of the duo. But from the little we've gotten so far, I think she will be the more prominent one

Count me in among those that hopes to see Bulbasaur and Charizard in this episode. I can possibly see Charizard showing up maybe in a later episode. But Bulbasaur has to be there or the episode will automatically lose points. I still think after all these years, Squirtle and Bulbasaur have my...

Amazing episode

They barely did anything with the original series in Journeys. DP, XY, BW, and SM all arguably got more focus. Kanto Pokemon got a lot of focus but that's not the same as the OS getting pandering. It's about time for this pandering since it's literally the last 11 episodes

Ash is also iconic because he was the main character of the anime when the franchise was at its most popular by far and stayed as the MC for another 20 years. Even if a new MC was the best written character ever, they'd still not be more iconic just because Ash was the MC back when people...

Guessing this won't end with a conclusive ending. It'll probably end on Ash meeting up with all his old friends and Pokemon and then setting off with Pikachu for more travels offscreen. This also leaves the door open for Ash to come back in specials in the future

Why don't they count as 'actual fanbase'? Those people watched every episode and discussed it with their friends afterwards at school and bought the games, merch, and especially the trading cards. Just because they grew up and moved on from Pokemon doesn't change the fact that they were 'actual...
