And such frequency of goodbyes has essentially wilted those ships into mere friendships. Due to the anime's comic book time and Ash remaining 10-years old, Ash couldn't really advance any relationships into a romantic one without feeling out of character. As I've said before, for Ash to truly...

Did they retire from their profession, I ask you? If anything, Ash would be excited at the prospect of having a child because it would be a new experience for him. Nothing is pointless to him and who knows? Perhaps raising a child with Serena would open his eyes to new possibilities with...

So that means Ash has turned 11 years old. :)

The implication? It's to be the very best, like no one ever was. To catch 'em is the real test. To train 'em is the cause. Travel across the land, searching far and wide. Teach Pokémon to understand the power that's inside. But all kidding aside, a Pokémon Master has never been a goal. It has...

Reminds me of the Winding Wood episode where Ash reflects on why he wanted to be a Pokémon Trainer in the first place.

As I've said before, it's not about the quantity of time that matters. It's the quality of what you do with the limited time you have. When Ash says goodbye to Misty, it was a simple wave goodbye while their Pokémon get more emotional of the farewells. Heck, even Brock's farewell to Misty is...

BIRD JESUS IS BACK! It's been like 25 years since we last saw him!

So, before the episode begins, what was your first impression of Ash? And how did it change over the past 25 years? I mean, it is a fascinating observation to see how the perspective of Ash changed despite Ash himself not really changing at all at his core.

Since it's the last day, I figure to make an artwork that will serve as a tribute to Satoshi and Pikachu for this special, once-in-a-lifetime event.

The alternative would be the implication of Ash being a deadbeat dad to Liko. And a deadbeat husband to Serena.

Personally, I think release is a misnomer. Ash only parts way with his Pokémon, but he always can call them back if he wants. And Goh's Suicune has proven that you don't need to officially release Pokémon at all for them to be at other places faraway. Shoes wear out. Especially if you travel...

I mean, Misty's Togepi is considered to be her Pokémon... even though she never caught it in a Poké Ball.

1. The last episode is about Ash and Pikachu finally becoming Pokémon Masters or at least, understanding what Pokémon Master really means. This question is the central focus for both the episode and the mini-series. Recall what Yajima actually said: They will become one in the future. Anyone...

I mean, by this point, Misty's relationship with Ash has been leaning heavily into platonic territory since she never does anything to one-up Serena. It's the same with every other girl that Ash meets in the post-Serena world. Early attempts to ship Ash with these girls at the beginning... but...

He's already a Pokémon Master. I've been keeping track of him from beginning to end, noting how Ash has changed over the course of 26 years. From Newbie to Learner to Experienced to Junior Mentor to Advanced Battler to Competitor to Experimenter to Ace to Graduate to World Champion, Ash has...

The final scene would appear to be Ash and Pikachu running towards the rainbow. To the never-ending dream.

You have to keep in mind of certain thing with the American release of Pokémon. It was in synergy with the Pokémon anime. To the point that Nintendo Power officially called Red "Ash" and Green "Gary" in their strategy guide...

And you think that matters when Ash leaving the series? Once our journey with him is over, everything is left to the imagination of fanfiction writers. This time, there would be no worry of the anime possibly rendering the fanfic obsolete. It's why something like a Queen's Champion fanfic has...
