A few months ago we witnessed something we thought we would never see, Ash Ketchum ended up winning the League Tournament eventually becoming global champion. The mythical episode 132 of the current season of Pokemon brought closure to one of the longest arcs in anime history.
This animated series with pocket monsters began its adventures in the year 1997 and since then it has become one of the fundamental franchises promoted and supported by Nintendo.
25 years passed, a quarter of a century, witnessing these adventures in the anime, with an Ash Ketchum who remained a child throughout this time, to finally witness one of the most longed-for achievements of this old friend in November 2022.
At first everything was a party, joy, nostalgia and pride for witnessing this historic moment, but shortly after the inevitable moment came to wonder what was next now.
The answer was given to us by the company responsible for the care of this intellectual property, with Advancement that Ash’s participation in the anime would be closed, introducing the new characters that would take over as protagonists.
There are many doubts and fears, yes, but there is also good news.
This is the synopsis of the final episode of Pokémon with Ash Ketchum
As reported by colleagues from GoNintendothe official synopsis of the next episode of the anime that will be broadcast in that country on March 24, 2023 has just been released in Japan.
This revelation would be a melancholy factor in most cases, but here it has represented an absolute surprise by the details released. We advise not to read the following paragraph if you do not want to find out about a pleasant spoiler:
When Ash and Pikachu return to Pallet Town, they meet with Gary, who asks Ash: How much closer are you to becoming a Pokémon Master now that you’ve become the Champion?
Becoming a Pokémon Master has been Ash’s dream ever since he set out on his journey with Pikachu. Can Ash find the answer to this question?”
Something that perhaps nobody expected (or very few fans) is the confirmation of the appearance of Gary, Ash’s initial nemesis in the first episodes of the anime that began the last century.
The time has come to say goodbye to this hero, although it is very likely that we will see him again as a guest character.
