I'm glad this is the first episode because now my expectations are back to where they should be (underground) instead of gradually being disappointed as we progressed through the eleven episodes. I keep forgetting this is a Journeys-adjacent series!

He was being built up to be Ash's successor and failed, so they're trying with Riko instead.

We already have 26 years worth of filler in the archives.

The writers. I’m glad they were able to secure Pokémon as their project for their college internship, but they really phoned it in with the Journeys writing and they gave no ****s! Honestly, good on them. We stan people who can make money with minimal effort.

Chloe wasn’t even a companion, which was a dumb idea - anyway, Goh should have been female.

They waited until the ratings were at a series low and the writing was worse than most of what I see in the fanfiction area of serebiiforums to cancel. Goh was clearly introduced as a potential lead replacement and he was so terrible the writers aren’t just retiring Ash, but Goh as well, and...

Stakes are higher because this isn’t just an another episode within a 150 episode series that continues every three years, this is the first episode of the culmination of a 26 year story. This is supposed to be bigger than anything the MCU has given built up given the amount of the years and...

I’m actually embarrassed for the writers. How do you get tasked with writing for the last 11 episodes ever for the conclusion a character arc that’s been running for 26 years and for the premiere, 1 out of 11, it’s yet another run of the mill filler episode that is a legendary capture episode...

If this isn’t the movie Latias then I’m ****ing done lol, less because I love that Latias but more because it’s eleven episodes left and we start with what amounts to be a filler.

I don't particularly care much for Ash either but for some of us he (alongside Pikachu) represented our childhood. I was born in 1998 and the anime debut around the same time, so I essentially grew up knowing every week, there was at least twenty minutes worth of new adventures and content from...

Goh was such a poorly received lead that the writers were like we aren’t just going to retire Ash, we’re also retiring Goh as well, and our next lead will be a girl. lol

The fact that this was Ash’s final series is pretty embarrassing.

Who the **** cares what being a Pokémon Master is about. We are saying goodbye to Ash and Pikachu who have graced our screens for over 25 years. It’s saying goodbye to a best friend who we knew we could always reach out to for new content and adventures. I will be crying, we all will be. So...

A shot of Ash and Pikachu running off in some random route to indicate that their journey continues.

Ash and Pikachu's goodbye is like saying goodbye to my childhood for good. It was the one lasting thing left (the anime came out the year I was born, so I quite literally grew up with them) - it's symbolic of so much and I'll miss it, but cherish it deeply.

I can't believe the writers possibly knew Ash's journey was ending and this was the best they could come up with. So lacklustre. If you take away the championships and the cameos of past characters, this would have easily been one of the worst series in Pokemon anime history. Also why did we...

This seems like it’s residual from a probably now cancelled movie given we haven’t had one since 2020.

The cameos were cool but the characters seemed so OOC and half baked, Ash's development was non-existent throughout. Take away the championships which was always part of Ash's endgame and this would have been a pretty average series.

I will be crying and cherishing every moment of every episode of this short series despite not caring about the anime since like 2009 lol.

Well. I've been crying all morning. I've been on this forum for literally 14+ years now, and the debate on whether Ash is leaving has come and go more times than I can count on one hand and it's finally happening. Ash and Pikachu's journey began the year I was born so to finally see it come to...
