There was one final Ash opening that was mostly a compilation of old events because there was a very short 11 episode send off for Ash.
For the latest season 'Horizons', we have new protagonists Liko and Roy. Ash's tale had ended on a high note at the end of the 13-episode special, "To Be a Pokémon Master' which happens after 'Journeys' story with one question "What does it REALLY mean to be a 'Pokémon Master'?" He travels with Misty and Brock one more time, just traveling for traveling's sake with no big goal anymore.
Pikachu: "I'll evolve as soon as Ash becomes an adult."
Infinite years of living glitch
@@Idk-be4jg Pikachu is an adult in a teen body lol
Small what if with the latest pokemon season, the Pikachu is Cap and Ask is nolonger around. Or Ask dich him.
That was indeed Ash in every opening except the Horizons one.
I remember hearing about how people were MAD about the way Ash looked in Sun and Moon😅
@@brandonseupersad7916 Can you blame them he looked so ugly in Sun and Moon, he definitely looks better in Journeys.
@@brandonseupersad7916 Yeah, it feels like those people convinced the people working on it to come too a middle ground with his Journeys design. Hate to see it, his Journeys design is great, but a straight downgrade from his SM design, wish we could have seen it longer
@@CosmicNova1000I personally really loved the S&M Ash and was a lil disappointed with all the online hate when it first aired 😭
He was also missing from the first Black and White intro, since it only featured Pokémon.
Also, I felt neutral towards the art style change because it was just that: a different art style.
There are a lot of banger Pokemon Openings, but nothing can ever beat the OG Opening.
He didn’t get younger the show just got more experimental with its style
For the new companions after Misty and Brock
Orange Islands: Tracey was a Pokémon Sketch Artist. Not really based on anyone from the games.
Advanced Series: May and her little brother Max. May is based on the female trainer you can pick in the Gen 3 games.
Diamond Pearl: Dawn, based on the female trainer you can play as for Gen 4.
Black and White: Cilan and Iris, both Gym Leaders from the Gen 5 games. Neither were very popular for the fans at the time.
XY: Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie. All from the games, Serena being the female trainer or rival depending on the gender you pick. Clemont is a Gym Leader and Bonnie is his little sister.
Sun and Moon: Lillie is a main character from the games. The rest are Gym Leaders. Mallow, Lana, Kiawe, and Sophocles.
Pokémon Journeys: Go is an original character for the series. Probably some inspiration from the Pokémon Go mobile app.
Sun and Moon don't have Gym Leaders. In the games, the ones besides Lillie are Trial Captains.
8:32 So that’s because Advance Battle was the last season to be dubbed by 4kids entertainment and was acquired by the Pokemon company which lead to most of the voice actors being chanted out and the openings being shortened
That's not a reason to why the intros were shorter at all lol
It was actually because of Cartoon Network wanting to put more commercials.
I still can’t believe Pokemon has 25 seasons. This show will always be amazing to me
27 in fact because horizon has 2
@@berserk9159horizons isn’t on season 2 yet
@@madnessarcade7447 japanese anime is on it's 2nd season, look the second opening
@@madnessarcade7447it is in the sub.
@@madnessarcade7447 It has 44 episodes in Japan and in Netflix only 12 episodes
I was born in the late 2000s but I remember watching the 1990/ the first season of pokemon and listening to the intro brought back memories of a simpler time
I recommend you to check out the Japanese Pokemon openings they’re really great
i used to watch the english dub but only watch the show in japanese now;
1 because when Sun/Moon aired i realized i didn't have to rewatch all the episodes
& 2 because the bgm, intros & outros are so much better
Where do you watch the show in Japanese?
XY&Z is a top 10 JP song! its so good
I honestly like the jap opening of horizons better than the dub. Probably partial given I have been watching the show subbed since horizons started
I honestly think it gets better at xy
Anything before that sounds pretty meh.
I believe the reason why Ash and the general art style looks so different is because after the XY series everything was made in a different studio. I believe the one that made the previous anime’s were currently working on something and needed a different studio to work on it for them
No the anime was still being animated by OLM Team Kato. Team Kato took over the anime from S13
Probably because at the Pokémon: Sun & Moon times there was a competitor to Pokémon, they ripped off the art style and it was controversial. They tried to fix it or make it more kid-friendly in Pokémon: Journeys and it didn't work. Since Pokémon lost a lot of audience over time because of the art style and other stuff, they scrapped Ash.
(Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?)
@@SFRISGTWyeah, I stopped watching after X/Y. I hated the new art style.
@@lorikodama8212 i mean after 2-3 episodes it feels normal tbh, but that's your opinion also we should be flexible regarding changes without changes you can not proceed in life .
You should honestly listen to the japanese version of the XYZ opening (at 13:13) bc that version is a BANGER as well
Man of culture!
14:38 Yes, Ash had married Serena in the end of XY&Z and had his son Len that is the protagonist of Sun & Moon
Bro wtf you on😂😭
💀
Blud lying they ass off
I forgot I commented this LMAO 😂😂
It is funny when people say ash looks younger since sun and moon because he’s always 10
Ash's artstyle and character matured every season till XYZ, which was the climax of all he had learnt. I mean look at Greninja vs Charizard. It just that the artsyle changing to reflect that he is a child yet also make him win the next major tournaments, its sad.
the amazing thing with the first pokemon black & white intro is when it was being shown in japan all the pokemon were silhouettes until they were shown in an episode so as the series got further more of the pokemon were shown fully in the intro animation.
I think you should react to it all. It will take A LONG TIME to finish, since Pokémon itself hasn't ended yet, but it would DEFINITIVELY be great. There aren't many people that do react to it here, and the ones that do aren't "as good reactors as you", so I would really enjoy to see you react to it all. Even when people talk sh*t about the "most recent seasons", i would go as far to say that Pokemon only gets better and better, because there wasn't a single time, while i was watching it, that I thought "Oh, I wish Pokemon had stayed just like it was in the start" or something like that. In short, it's a great journey, and it's totally worth it watching it all.
It won't ever end
The Only bad one is black and white. Cuz they just rebooted Ash and pikachu back to season 1 but worse.
@@ebi-chan2970 I mean, I am pretty fine with Black and White, i actually liked it. Ash being rebooted and Pikachu pretty much going back to level 5 helps keeping things balanced, since it would reach a point where Trip wouldn't even exist, since he isn't exactly the strongest rival, you know?
@@ebi-chan2970 there was no reboot bro that's just misinformation
@@natalimoinaI’d consider it a soft reboot of sorts as Brock had left the group for good this time, Ash caught all 3 starters, he had to call in from the regional professor instead of Oak and Ash did fell less experienced
That second intro theme Pokemon World just SLAPS so hard
You forgot the second opening of Pokemon Ultimate Journeys which paid tribute to Ash and the end of his journey.
The first opening for Pokemon Advanced is incredibly nostalgic to me. Gen 3 was my starting point for Pokemon. I did go back and watch the seasons from Kanto and Johto, but Advanced and D&P were the generations from my childhood. I watched a good portion of Black & White, but in all honesty, that's around the point I stopped watching entirely (around 12yo). I went back and watched a few episodes of XY, but never got into it. I still collect the cards to this day though. Pokemon has had a great impact on my life.
There is no best or worst song every song has its own unique charm and tries to do its own thing they can coexist not everything needs to be a competition
Man, every time I hear the 25th opening, i get hit with the feels.
Most people disliked the art direction of Sun and Moon anime when it was announced because it was different, myself included. Then I watched it, and realized it allowed them to do so much more with the anime. Sun and Moon seasons were a lot of fun, and felt more like a traditional anime. They started fleshing out all the characters, and got to let you have a real sense of space of where they lived, for a change. Kiawe is also second best male support after Brock.
Professor Kukui also has the most personality of all the Professors, to the point where he seemed heavy handed at first, but it was just because were used to every Professor besides Oak being a cardboard stand in, and even he stopped getting good moments after the 4th movie. Or Professor Ivy's plot. The plot that Brock liked. But Kukui's a real one.
def watch the japanese openings too! most are sung by ash's voice actress
Yes there's tournaments in each region (a region lasts like 3-4 season and each region introduce new places, pokemons, characters). Ash tries to collect eight badges so he can participate in the Pokemon League. He goes through a lot of problems in his adventure but you can see him get evolve in each region.
Aside from the last two, i have absolutely memorized all the openings as a kid
To clarify things, Ash retired from the anime at the end of the "Journeys" part, where be became world champion of the pokemon league. Horizons is completely seperate from Ash.
The first Pokémon theme from the original series indigo league is still such a freaking tune, when it pops up on shuffle on Spotify it’s turned up loud every time ❤
its funny how so many people react to the english openings first but not the japanese ones… for the first several seasons the eng ones are iconic sure but the jp ones are pure joy to listen to 😭 and the newer ones are so hype too. good reaction tho hope to see a follow up soon 👍
So Ash was in every intro aside from Horizons - the 1st in the series to not feature Ash at all. Galactic Battles had 2 English intros where it focused around the 6th & 7th gyms respectively, Adventures in Unova had 3 intros that focused on 3 main arcs: the Unova League, N & Team Plasma, & the Decolore Islands that lead back to Kanto. The reason Ash looks different in Sun & Moon intros onwards was during the Gen 7 era it was more slice of life, Journeys takes place during Gen 8 the Galar Region
been a charmander boy forever a charizard boy, but I also like treeckop and sceptile, and swampert/mudkip
Pokémon DP is my favorite series of Pokémon
Yeah, we should all try to convince this guy to watch DP
Yooooo, he’s on Pokémon now!!
3:10 When I hear this one I just think about Nathan Sharp's cover ft. MatPat 😊
There is currently 9 generations and 1025 Pokémon
Yes it’s still Ash, Sun and Moon artstyle change was drastic. It made my little brother want to quit watching. I was able to convince him until Master Journeys then he just quit
i watched all the anime that aired with regular Saturday morning cartoons, but i didnt realize or consider it was something different until i stumbled across Inuyasha airing on adult swim one night
Johto themes are my favorites. For a little context to you’re question of Ash rotation of his team every new region he started fresh with only Pikachu being in every team obviously. He he only brought back some very few times for specific battles.
Awesome reaction. If you decide to react to the series, I recommend the Diamond and Pearl series. I’m not sure if it’s the best series (I stopped after gen 6) but it’s definitely a good one. The 4 movies during this generation are really good. The Rival and one of the villain arcs are also very good.
This right here ^^^
sun and moon was very controversial when it came out. The drastic shift in art style fit the vibe they were going for with those seasons but off the back of how much X&Y looked like a proper battle shonen it definitely had a very mixed reception. I personally loved the sun and moon seasons, the story was well done and the more slice of life, episodic nature fit the tone of the alola region. Plus the actual animation was the best it had ever been, everything was super smooth and flowed amazingly. Unfortunately because so many people didn't like the art style the animation doesn't tend to get the praise it deserves. However I also highly recommend checking out some of the battles from the XYZ series because as you noted in the openings, the battles in that series were phenomenal and lightning fast. They are right up there with amazing action scenes from any shonen anime
I'd suggest doing the Japanese openings too. They're way longer and way more consistent.
It’d be a certainly long journey but it’d be cool to see all of them. I may be able to send a list of all the movies and OVAs that shows the best order to watch those with the show
Ash was in all of them except for Horizons because Ash’s journey ended in Pokemon Journeys, and Horizons is the next protagonists journey.
I honestly like the Japanese Horizons intro better
You should include the To Be A Pokemon Master intro, which is in the last few episodes of Pokemon Ultimate Journeys.
Him saying that sun and moon ash is like his son 🤣
Imagine if that was actually the case
If you love the shonen-style of anime. You HAVE to watch Pokémon XY and XYZ! The animation, music and overall vibe is simply amazing.
The hoenne theme just hits diff for me
To help clear up some confusion about where the OPs take place in:
1-2 Kanto/Orange Islands (gen 1) Ash, Misty, Tracy and Brock
3-5 Johto (gen 2) Ash, Misty and Brock
6-9 Hoenn/Kanto (gen 3) Ash, May, Max and Brock
10-13 Sinnoh (gen 4) Ash, Dawn and Brock
14-17 Unova (gen 5) Ash, Iris and Cilan
18-20 Kalos (gen 6) Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie
21-23 Alola (gen 7) Ash, Kiawe, Lana, Mallow, Lillie, Sophocles and Rotom Dex
24-25 Galar/worldwide (gen 8) (theme is travelling to many different regions rather than staying in just one) Ash and Goh
26 Paldea (gen 9) Liko and Roy
Ash does not appear in Horizons because his tale is complete, and the show will now focus on new characters instead of Ash (the Pikachu that appears in the Horizons OP is a different one). Misty stopped traveling with Ash due to needing to look after the Cerulean Gym, and Brock stopped after Sinnoh to focus on being a Pokemon Doctor, hence the different lineups of traveling companions after Johto. Also important to note that some episodes have been banned or unaired in some countries for a variety of reasons (usually a natural disaster in Japan or racism/violence concerns), with the most notable happening in gens 1, 2, 5 and 7. For more information check here: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Banned_episodes
That aside I really enjoy most of the English OPs, with one of my favorites being Unbeatable (Advanced Battle theme).
Man there are soo many good pokemon op’s
Ok so all the first 2 gen themes have extended versions of them bc they were in a movie or on a CD. Like johto journeys have a remixed version in the 3rd movie but the same singer as the normal version but that extended song is on the CD. Only unbeatable has an extended theme ( all the movie ones are around like 2-3 mins longer) battle frontier has a little extended version but only about 40 seconds longer. Then skipping ahead to gen4. The tenth movie has we will be heroes ( kind of a remix) more of a rock version and longer. Then op 12 has a movie version and 13 d9es in the last ep of sinnoh when ash is imagining him fighting cynthia. Gens 5 and 6 themes all have movie versions and the journeys is an actual song sung by a band lol.
my biggest issue with the modern english openings is how much shorter they are than the older and japanese openings. The songs are so good but we rarely get to hear the full versions of the songs.
Anyways for gen 1 starters, i usually pick bulbasaur, but i grew up with yellow so i always boxed my pikachu and got all 3 ;p
It boggles my mind that everyone is completely missing out on the Pokemon Horizons second OP. Also Horizons is a brand new Pokemon series with a new protagonist and I highly recommend as it is only 38 episodes so far in subs. Ash has been retired.
you should do the japanese ones, particularly the ones for XY/Z.
Such a shame most of these didn't get a full song, or even added to Spotify
Yeah. But I think over half have a full version so that's not too bad.
Yea I remember when the poster for Sun and Moon came out with the different art style. Controversial to say the least. And God I just realize that gen is nearly a decade old.
Also since you done Pokemon and YuGiOh you should check out the Digimon openings
Ash is in every opening except the last one. They switch up the companions every new generation.
Pokemon has more episodes then one piece you would be here for years watching it it took me about 7 months to watch
Journy looks fine too me its only Ash and Jessie design that bothers me
My 2 fav are
-With you
-Sun and Moon op 2
You should react to it all that would be ameizing
No way your gonna watch the entirety of the Pokemon series.
Ash's art style changes since gen 2 lol
Id say watch Kanto, Sinnoh, Kalos Alola and Journeys
You should listen to the Japanese openings too
I have started watching the show when I was 6 years old (found it zapping through the TV when I got home from school and my father still prepared lunch) which was when they aired the seasons in Hoenn and later Sinnoh in my country. Especially the ones in Sinnoh (Diamond Pearl/ Galactic Battles, that era) were really good.
Heard a few years later that the X/Y seasons were good, so I checked them out and liked that Ash felt more mature. Really felt like, despite them officially never saying it of course, that he had aged and developed.
Long story short, to answer your question: I hated what they did with the Sun/Moon artstyle change. Felt like they regressed Ash back to be more childish for no real reason.
The English version are just an abbreviated version of the Japanese Openings, highly recommend them. By abbreviated, i mean there are more good visuals and different songs (the english version arent translated songs)
14:44 oh you shouldve been there when these seasons were airing. NOONE was happy. Xy and XYZ were peak pokemon with the greatest story and a proper mature art style, then the animators went with the childish artstyle and the story was nothing compared to XYZ, like it was a normal pokemon season story. But XYZ left pokemon fans expecting the next season to be another banger... but sadly it was not. Its still controversial but the talks have died down cuz ash has left the anime
I mean, I was not the biggest fan of the animation style changing, but at the end of the day it’s not a big deal
The xy/xyz will always be my favorite.
It's still ongoing
I'm biased as I started at XY amd XYZ but I definitely recommend you to start there as well as it is the most popular series for good reason.
I'm also an XY&Z Stan but I would like him to see Satoshi's grow over the generations(except Black and White)
@@Josue.Cayampi I wouldn't mind that except I think it would just be really unfair for him to just completely skip B&W instead of giving it a shot and seeing if he likes it, which is why I think why not start with XY/Z and then letting him choose if he want to continue.
The fact I havent seen pokemon since pokemon frontier battles, yet I know exactly where their pokemon game counter part are, just because some characters they use. Lol. Storywise pokemon black and white is the best from the games
As someone whos first pokemon was XY, i simply cant watch the original ones because the animation and the graphics throw me off, and the battles in XY(Z) are simply legendary. For the longest time i thought the XY version of the pokemon theme was the original😂. But i dont diss anyone who prefers the original
yesss I'm so excited I LOVE POKEMON! so much please react to the show pretty please 💜💜❤❤
The sheer drop from intensity when it left xyz to sun and moon made me lose a lot of interest in Pokémon, wasn’t a fan of any of their intro really, but journeys really brought me back to
Some of these are way better in Japanese ngl
Not even a single intro in the whole TV series world comes close the English/Spanish version of the first Pokemon theme. I won't discuss it with anyone and probably I won't respect your opinion if it's different
You should watch the beyblade burst opening
I'm glad you noticed how drastically bad the art style got after X/Y. I literally stopped watching from Alola on. I was so disappointed because the show looked so good in the Kalos series.

ot's ash and pickachu in sun moon series
I suscribed
Ash has left us 😢😢😢
Ash left us at the end of XY
@@xRakanishu sun and moon has very good story even though it had a very big drop in animation. That's why people don't like that but the story and battles especially the alola league's finale were one of the best battles in the history of Pokemon
Please react to Pokémon I would so watch that
You should watch the japanese ones, while the others decrease a bit in epicness the japanese ones periodically increase in epicness. Also, until Horizons is same old Ash, in Horizons is the new protagonist, Liko, and no, she's not related to Ash.
I vividly remember watching the first season multiple times due to reruns. I kept watching it but less frequent in the seasons after. Probably after the third season I started to watch it sporadically and around the time Misty dipped, I also dipped. I think I just grew out of the Pokémon age bracket and the show was just repeating itself at that point and I didn't care for new characters coming in to replace the characters I loved. I also really disliked Ash getting new Pokémon and saying goodbye to most of them.
XYZ was Peak no doubt
You NEED to watch the Japanese Openings, they're good also and the Images make more sense.
IMO the English ones are better from Kanto/gen1 to Sinnoh/gen4 (with some exceptions) but from XY(&Z)/gen6 the Japanese's ones are better 🔥🔥🔥
you should also react to some of tha japaneese intros as they are also so good
Dang bruv 32 I'm 35 ur hairs looking good though bruv
Man i was hoping for the Japanese version
check out the video Pikachu vs. Charizard 💥 | Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series | Official Clip (spoiler alert!), its ash's final battle
I’d recommend checking out all of the Beyblade openings.
Please react to all the japanese openings!
Why not Japanese version
Pokemon has more episodes than One Piece
react to the japanese openings
MAN I LOVE POKÉMON XYZ IDK WHY-
It became my favorite because of one Pokémon and that is Greninja
We don’t talk about the sun and moon art style. No one liked it. And XYZ was peak
there is alot fans of Sun and Moon
It's the best style though, full of personality and the best animation
