It wicks cuz I knew he was going to leave after he won against the two pants man.
And then we had that interview with someone that said it is not Ash’s last journey so I thought he was going to stay…. Crying
I'm with you girl, we can cry together for the new few months </3

It's going to be weird for everyone. They are taking the highest risk they could take. Writing off a 25-years character, that symbols the whole franchise more than any other thing else, is a big hit, and I'm not sure how secure they were in this decision. They will never have an "Ash" character again, those two new character will never be Ash (well, for start, they have to be on screen for decades), but Ash was there when the whole Pokemon mania started, actually it is one of the reasons it became such a hit. Image-wise, it is a HUGE hit. Even those who stopped watching the anime, or even taking any interest in the franchise (games as well), think that Pokemon is over, they don't care about new characters - when Ash is gone, Pokemon is gone. You probably have to be 6 years old to not get too familiar with Ash and make the connection between him and the franchise. But then again, this is their audience, this is who THEY think is their only audience.

As for the Journeys series - it is now clear that they knew right from the beginning it's going to be Ash's last ride. Looking back, they could have done more and also better things so we could cherish everything we've seen of Ash over the years. Taking a look at some of the episodes, and I can't believe they are actually part of Ash's last saga (an episode about Goh's Flabebe???)

Ash will always be in our hearts. We will never see a ketchup-loving Pikachu again.

According to the final poster, it is official, despite Ash never have had them in pokeballs. Also, ambipom is apparently considered his again.
sort of weird they seem to consider Larvitar and Solgaleo his lmao.

I've thought about this a few times over the years/decades and I honestly think Ho-Oh
would make for a great final capture, it would be a great way to bring his journey with
Pikachu full circle.
Latias?



What poster? There is nothing on the front page.
Great choices. Out of the three I'd probably go with Latias since its a capture I've wanted to happen since he caught Dragonite

Well Latias was in the trailer and Ash was in his JN clothes while riding her. So I guess she'll be showing up during this final chapter mini-series.

EDIT: I legit want a "what Ash could have captured list". All the possibilities they could have considered but didn't make the cut. I would love to know. You know for trivia/reference/fanfic purposes.

It's literally promoted as Ash's final story.
