I told everyone I knew that Ash was being retired now that he pretty much is a master, so I'm glad that his story is being put to rest.....Its gonna be a super emotional last cour of eps but I'm ready
Curious to know if this new MC is Ash's daughter tho

I guess I now have a reason to actually try and watch all of the Pokémon anime up to this point properly sometime. 25 years of being a 10 year old... kid self probably wouldn't believe it but I'm actually a bit relieved that there will be a proper end!

Joke aside, I highly doubt they would retire Satoshi/Ash completely and reduce him to a merely cameo for the new anime considering how much of a mascot and cash cow the guy has been since like forever. Let's wait and see how long he would stay behind the shadow lol.
The new MC's designs looks like they're clones of the Pokemon game;s avatars or something lol

Wow, the end of an era, seriously. I am glad they're giving Ash a whole send-off mini-season though. Frankly, he deserves it.
Bye, legend. You will always be in hearts of people.
OP starts from 3:58, prior is CM block.
