After 25 years, Pikachu and Ash Ketchum's adventure in Pokemon come to an end. In the spring of 2023, two new characters—a boy named Roy and a young girl named Liko—will debut in the new Pokemon series.
With Ash Ketchum and his devoted electric mouse Pikachu leaving Pokemon after 25 years, an era has come to an end. You got that right. The Pokemon series' 1997 founding members Ash and Pikachu will no longer be present, according to the show's producers, who announced this on Friday.
According to the creators, "It will represent everything (fan base) about Pokemon animation, including action, adventure, friendship, and Pokemon." Ash and other characters in the series are voiced by actress Sarah Natochenny, who also shared on Twitter that "Ash will live forever in the hearts of many generations to come."
"Being Ash Ketchum's English voice for the upcoming 17 years has been a remarkable privilege. Whatever lies beyond his final chapter, he will continue to live on in the hearts of many future generations. I'll do everything in my power to keep him here for all of us "she composed.
The Pokemon Company said in a new trailer that "the concluding chapter in Ash and Pikachu's story" will be broadcast in an eleven-episode series starting on Friday, January 13, 2023 in Japan. The corporation teased the release of "the future of Pokemon" in that trailer. The trailer incorporates some of the best moments from the anime, which debuted in 1997, drawing on the pair's 25 years at the forefront of the series.
According to the Pokemon official website, the new-look series will feature well-known Pokemon like Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly from the video games Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon, Pokemon Violet. "Popular Pokemon including first partners Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly from the video games Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet will be included in this new series. As these characters explore the wonders of the Pokemon universe, fans can anticipate spectacular adventures featuring everything from thrilling Trainer battles to enjoyable Pokemon encounters "read the declaration made publicly.
Ash Ketchum, Pikachu, and his other Pokemon winning the Masters Eight Tournament of the Pokemon World Coronation Series will be featured in the upcoming story, which will debut following the conclusion of the current season of the Pokemon animation, Pokemon Ultimate Journeys: The Series, it was stated.
The recent conclusion of Ash's arc, in which he achieved Pokemon Champion status for the first time, served as the inspiration for the miniseries. With assistance from characters from their combined travels, Ash and Pikachu defeated Sword and Shield champion Leon and his Charizard in the heartbreaking conclusion (including one particularly emotional 22-year-old cameo). How far along are you in becoming a Pokemon Master now that you're the champion? asks Gary Oak, who has been frightening players since the release of Gen 1.
"Across the wide world, a new brand-new dream and adventure is about to begin," reads the message that opens the new series. As the series attempts to catch up with the new games, two protagonists—a boy and a girl—as well as the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starters are introduced.
