Blue Saturday
Unfurl your Blessed Wings!
I will say not putting Ho-Oh in this episode made no sense but we did get that in PM2019's last episode I remembered so no biggie actually.
Good though. Because, at least, those non-sensical wars in the forums have come to an abrupt (and sad) end. Better not to expect anything more now that Ash's gone and the new series is about to begin.Pokemon is a kodmo anime so i'm not surprised that the shipping stuff didnt have a proper ending.
Lets see how the anime staff will deal with the remakes of Black and White and X&Y when they come out, will they only show Pokemon from Gen 5 or Gen 6 or will they also bring characters back that are related to Gen 5 or Gen 6.Good though.

Honestly speaking, I’ve always liked Ash. Maybe I didn’t know it for sure when I first saw him as a toddler compared to how I view him now of course, but I’ve always held Ash to such a high standard as my childhood hero.So, before the episode begins, what was your first impression of Ash? And how did it change over the past 25 years?
IIRC, there was already an interview done not too long ago where it was said that Ash returning in some capacity in the future is an open possibility, so it doesn’t seem impossible in fairness. Especially if series like Dragon Ball can indeed do the same.Even if the new series is a complete failure, it's extremely unlikely Ash will return as protagonist. They will just replace the protagonists for new ones. In fact, they likely replace the protagonists even if the new series is a success (they wouldn't want another case like Ash).
I mean in fairness, I don’t necessarily agree with this specific take since I found the whole premise of the PWC to be very flawed the moment Scarlet and Violet got announced and Paldea, a 9th region with champions (multiple ones at that) and trainers and Pokémon appearing out of nowhere, didn’t take place in the championship. As well as whatever regions we get for Gen 10, Gen 11, Gen 12 and so on and so forth for as long as Pokemon continues as a franchise.And really, let us think about for a second as to why they are now ending Ash's journey with us. What could possibly prompt the showrunners to retire Ash when he could theoretically have infinite adventures?
Oh that's right, he became the strongest trainer in existence and now there's no one on top of him. How could Ash top that achievement in the future? And that's when you realize that our time with Ash has come to an end.
And it’s **** like this and people like you that really makes me hate the Pokémon fandom sometimes. Like, seriously, if you have this much dislike for a direction it’s going on, how about just stop watching?Does anyone else remember how people would say stuff like "this is just another step to becoming a Pokemon Master" every time Ash did something? Like, people would say that beating Leon was a step to becoming a Pokemon Master, but could never tell you how. Surprise surprise, now battling has absolutely nothing to do with this goal lmao. Anyways, it was obvious that "Pokemon Master" was never a real thing, and was only a way to pretend as if Ash had a reason for his never-ending journey.
I'm just glad he's gone.
There's no indication of this, at least anymore so than Johto or Sinnoh.it felt like that Kalos was supposed to be the finale for Ash and the idea was changed at some point

Ironically, May and Max meeting Serena off screen and Alexa meeting Brock when tagging along with Cilan are the only forms of continuity with past gens XY ever got, and not even during XYThat's hardly a reference when Ash didn't even mention Piplup directly lol. And while Ash does mention reserves, none of them make an appearance.
I'm talking about past companion returns, his old Pokemon, heck Ash never even tells his XY companions about his journey in past regions.
Oh no I 100% agree this wasn’t the first time the anime did this, and probably won’t be the last depending on how Horizons is doneThe anime was never really consistent in terms of logical thinking when it came to the existence of more than what is currently visited. We literally had Bill within the first 20 episodes tell us "well, uh, yeah, we know so far that there are 150 Pokémon but there are surely many more" when he did not even know what a Dragonite was and it made no sense that people even knew of the 150 because it included Mewtwo. But that is not even the most absurd thing. The absurdity of just saying "we know 150 Pokémon" makes no sense in retrospective as well as retroactively because the other regions obviously existed in that world and that they would only have found the Kanto ones is a ridiculous thought.
So yeah, I agree with you. But the anime did not do that for the first time.
There's also an episode during which Clemont and Bonnie meet Cilan. But that episode wasn't aired outside of Japan.Ironically, May and Max meeting Serena off screen and Alexa meeting Brock when tagging along with Cilan are the only forms of continuity with past gens XY ever got, and not even during XY
He walks into the next few game regions until we meet him again, preferably with Pikachu first so we can think "OH MY GOD ... is-is that ....?!"With Ash gone what will happened to him?
Oh wow I forgot this happened lol. Yeah this tooThere's also an episode during which Clemont and Bonnie meet Cilan. But that episode wasn't aired outside of Japan.

I know what you mean. I’m 23 now and got into Pokémon during the youngest of years. It’s crazy that icons who were my role models then and now as an adult, outlived me my entire time on this earth and shaped several generations of peoples lives. Legendary.Well I just watched the episode and I got to say, I still can't believe its all over. Ash has been a part of my life since the show started. He has been my role model. He was my hero. He was the one made people want to follow their dreams and not give up, myself included. And he was also the guy who made me into a Pokemon fan. Without the anime I would not have been into Pokemon.
So after 26 years it is time for me to part ways with Ash. Its been incredible ride through the world of Pokemon. Many encounters. Battles fought. Friends made. Places been. Many trials and tribulations. One big adventure.
Thank you Ash Ketchum. I hope we meet again.
And also Pidgeot came back in the end! I knew he didn't forget!
We're still beefing! No matter how you try to sweet talk me!!!!!Well, I also wanted to thank all of you for being here, even the ones I argued with, after all it was many years of talking about anime
A new era is coming, some things will change but we watch the end of Ash at least... So regardless of our differences we were all here because we care about this anime, we are still part of the same team even if it sounds sooooo corny
you don't count anyway, goodbye.We're still beefing! No matter how you try to sweet talk me!!!!!
