The end of an era for the boy from Pallet Town.
hi
Yup, it's been Long Years for his Journey!
Momoko Hanasaki: "Goodbye Satoshi-kun, after all those years with me..."
Sad to see it go.
But everything has to go on.
e
Ash’s adventure ended the same way that it begin with him and Pikachu seeing a rainbow. Truly poetic.
Exactly how u leave Ho-Oh outta this episode
It started watching a rainbow and it ended with watching a rainbow. THAT'S how they went out with a bang!!!!!🌈👍
@@TheGoldenHawaiianSwordsmanDragyeah I know
“Rainbow” really is the perfect theme for an ending. Not only does it reference Ho-oh and a rainbow forming after a harsh storm, but it encapsulates all of the colors of the previous games! It’s great to see Ash finally reach his goal instead of being stuck inside some Sisyphus-style purgatory, just like Butterfree we need to let him fly away.
They should have shown Ho-Oh one last time. It was there in the very first episode so having it show up in the last would bring the entire series full circle and make it feel more complete. Still sucks that Primeape never came back but at least the loose end of Ash never fulfilling his promise to return for Pidgeot was finally wrapped up.
@@tomnorton4277 To be fair with Pigeot, in the Japanese Dub Ash was releasing him, he never promised to come back to him, that was something the english dub messed up (Until now that is)
Ho-Oh’s significance to Ash’s journey is to remind him that the world is bigger than he realizes, and that his Pokémon journey has more in store for him.
-He sees Ho-Oh in the first episode, which signifies there’s more than just 151 Pokémon
-He sees Ho-Oh after losing the Johto League, heading towards Hoenn. That inspires him to go to Hoenn.
-After a bad loss to Brandon in the Battle Frontier, Ash sees Ho-Oh and it cheers him up and inspires him to prepare for the rematch
-At the end of Pokémon Journeys, Ash and his friend Goh challenge a Lugia they both encountered in episode 1 of Journeys to a battle. After the battle Lugia lets them ride on its back, and along the way Ash sees Ho-Oh again, shortly before Ash and Goh decide to go on separate journeys.
-Meaning no Ho-Oh = no new adventure/journey.
just a theory tho
@@likn1489 A FIIIIIILM THEORY
@@swordmaster305the thing is, Ho-oh already returned in this series. Probably why they didn't bring it again
Crazy to think I’m as old as the show( I was born 1997) and I’m 26 years old. I’m gonna miss ash… he was part of my childhood. My boy really did become the best like no one ever was.
Same here
ASH IS NOT JUST OUR CHILDHOOD HE ICONIC LIKE MICKEY MOUSE AND BUGS BUNNY
I gonna miss him as well!!!! It's been an honor!!!
I WANT ASH BACK😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Man I was born in 94 I grew up with this show I haven't seen it in a couple years because I think it just got too drunk out but I sometimes tuned in for new episodes but at the end of the day man I'm going to miss Ash he was a part of my childhood that's almost makes me want to cry
The series just won't be the same without him. Thank you so much, Ash for making our lives that much better.
It hasn't been the same for decades
Ash will always be with us and I hope to see him and his buddy pikachu someday!
True, but let's hope the new protagonists can carry the anime as strongly as Ash and Pikachu did.
@@JustinGrant-jf5gv Looks like another school anime but that might just be the first episode.
Hasnt been the same since XYZ
It won’t feel the same without Ash, he really went making his dream being the world champion for 26 years which is 2 decades. Let’s give him one more goodbye and a thank you for making his dream come true. Let’s see what happens next for the series without him.
*Thank you Ash Ketchum, we will never forget you.*
POKEMON ANIME IS NOTHING WITHOUT ASH
POKEMON IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT ASH
Staying 10 for 26 years must be really hard, I wonder how he does it.
@@Brain_pocketer ASH IS IMMORTAL LIKE PETER PAN
Two and a half decades and a year to be exact.
Farewell, Ash Ketchum. You will never be forgotten.
Even Hades weeps.
Just forgot
Thank you Ashely ketchup
Yea
Joke:Ash:time to age now
:Instantly turns 36:
Sayonara Ketchum Ash
deep down our hearts will always remember ash, thank you ash and pikachu
More like good riddance, ash was cool but no one should be sad about him finally getting kick to the curb.
@@IllMatic97lol
In the immortal words of Woody-"So long, Partner."
Thank you so much for everything Ash, you will be missed so very much and even though you will never return you shall remain in our hearts forever!
With Toy Story 4 and 5 coming out, it’s actually not that sad anymore.
@@catshal1067 It was sad because it was Woody saying goodbye to Andy.
@@gamestation2690 Toy Story sucks. There i said it
@@catshal1067 it still is because we watched Andy grow up and get ready to move on from being a kid and with toy story 5 I think that could be the search for woody or at the very least buzz journey is also coming to an end
ASH IS IMMORTAL LIKE PETER PAN
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”
I’ll miss this show. I remember watching as a child.
E: Behold le mighty "Me too" chain of death
Me too
Me too.
Same
Me too!
huge respect to Ash that he actually held his promise and came back to Pidgeot after all this time
OH MY GOSH. I’m Gonna Miss the Series. It was a Big Part of my Childhood Through the Years. I love the series and It will be Unforgettable.
I Made A Cartoon Version Of Myself Called Blackpeerama SpaMink On UA-cam My Birthday Is MARCH 29TH
Ash will be back next time.
Ash: well… I guess all my adventure is over…
Would you like to save the game? YES
There is already a saved file. Is it OK to overwrite it? YES
SAVING A LOT OF DATA…DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER…
ASH saved the game!
Stop capitalizing random words
Technically the series will continue just ash is not the focus of the series anymore
Thank you Ash for your fantastic adventure and journey from the 1990’s to the 2020’s you are one of the many characters had a awesome impact on not only Pokémon history but for video game to anime, movie or show adaptation history as well for 26-27 years. Farewell Ash but don’t worry we’ll never forget you bro!
Even if Pokémon continues with a new cast of characters, Ash Ketchum's story will forever be the most iconic
Every moment of Ash and Pikachu will be cherished in our hearts! It’s been a great run and they won’t be forgotten! ❤️
It will be fine. But we are not fine 😓😓😓😓
True😢
It’s really sad we won’t see ash and his friends anymore it’s so sad 😢😭
Even though Ash’s journey ended, we will never forget all of his awesome Pokémon adventures he has been through.🥰 Team Rocket’s final blast off was memorable.
Team Rocket’s flying off again…
Ash’s journey hasn’t ended it just that we are now focusing our attention to liko and Roy now the two new protagonists that will continue the Pokemon anime ash will still be doing and continuing his adventures with new goals and dreams outside our view in the anime who know we might see him again someday if ash happens to cross paths we liko and Roy in the future
@@werty21100 I hope so…
I can remember some of my favourite episodes from the original
@@werty21100 FINALLY someone gets it!! Yeah Ash will totally come back in some reunion special with updates on what he has done and new Pokemon to catch and Team Rocket will be there too. Ash is walking the earth, think about it, after the story what does the player do? Go out and catch Pokemon, Ash is going to befriend all Pokemon, that's basically what the player does.
Man I cannot believe it is really over it was such a beautiful story and I’m honoured I got to witness it I would like to thank everyone who has worked on this 26 year long project that has been a massive part of all of our childhoods words cannot describe what these means to everyone until next time a new beginning
He truly became the very best like no one ever was...
Thank you for a good childhood Ash. We will never forget you!
ASH IS NOT JUST OUR CHILDHOOD HE ICONIC LIKE MICKEY mouse
Goodbye Ash Ketchum (1997 - 2023). You will be missed. 😢
So long Ash Ketchum! Thank you for all the memories we made, all the times we rooted for you, and all the epic Pokémon battles you had.
It’ll be sad seeing you go, but new beginnings always happen.
over the years i have grown to enjoy endings because if it ends it can't be ruined, so the fact that this amazing and nostalgic series will stay amazing does bring a smile to my face
Well the series did have a lot of up and down. Black and White and Journey in particular had a lot of issues.
@@wintersong2266yeah i’v heard
The fact I’m not even done with the Pokémon series and Ash Ketchum is leaving is sad. Ash Ketchum, you will never be forgotten.
Don’t cry because his time on the show is over.
Smile that he finally became a Pokémon Master.
Farewell Ash, and thank you for 26 years of adventures and fun!
The world of Pokémon won’t ever be the same without you.
That's what I was saying..... It's not going to be the same without Ash.....
I'm really going to miss him... 😞💧
@@amaniwhite9622 Me too
I actually almost cried but had to contain myself
I am crying 😭😭😭😭@@isidorodaviddoro1920
I remember the good old days in 4th grade when the second I got home from school, I dashed to the TV and turned on the boomerang cable channel to watch Pokémon. Those were the good years.
This is definitely one of the saddest moments ever but Ash had a good run and we all will definitely miss him as the protagonist as Pokémon ❤️🫂🙏 Ash will never be forgotten ❤️🙏🫂
Since I watch the English dub, this is like a warning of what’s to come. Hope these episodes come out in English. I started watching Pokemon in elementary and now I’m 31, so it’s sad to see him go after so long. The anime will be like a whole new anime, even though it’s still Pokemon. It won’t be the same without Ash and his Pikachu.
Sadly it’s gonna take a long time for the English dub to finish though
@@watchforever1724 I know. I expect our Journeys to end this year maybe.
@@Booila yeah the recent episode with ash and Leon is happening next week in Canada apparently
WE WILL ALWAYS & FOREVER LOVE YOU ASH! YOU FINALLY CAUGHT THEM ALL! 😢❤
Except Gen 9 Pokémon though...
Crap...
@@LeviCPC25 He’ll be out there, catching them off screen 😅
People have wanted ash gone for so long, writing wise he had downs but he also major ups and showed us to keep pushing no matter what. He's a character who will forever live in my heart. I wouldn't be the man I am today without him. A truly legendary man
Gonna Miss Ash for real. Hope we got a full DVD box set of all the Ash episodes.
That would be nice (and expensive)
That's a lot of episodes
Isn't there over 1,000 episodes of this show?
Call it the Ashventures Series.
@@azurecorviknight4189 assventures
I still find it hard to believe ash is leaving the series for good. He was one of the reasons I loved pokemon so much, thanks for being in my childhood ash
As was stated though, it’s likely that he’ll make some guest appearances like the other characters did.
It's hard to believe that one of the characters many generations grew up watching is finally leaving the spotlight. While I did love how the ending tied everything up nicely, back with the original season that started it all, I will always be sad that it's over 😭
Growing up sucks, it really does; I can't believe the end of an era is upon us, especially for all of the kids who are now all grown up 😮💨 thanks Ash and everybody else for all of the wonderful memories, we'll all miss you 😌☺️🥲
Same goes in real life with Tom Brady, who played in the NFL for nearly my entire life, who finally retired (as he said “for good” last month).
For both the Brady era and Ash Ketchum era to end in the same year is crazy….
I really liked how you described the message of this final shot of Ash and Pikachu. ❤
Thanks for everything Ash. We will never forget you...
Rest in Peace. This is truly the end of an era.
And that last good bye was a heartwaeming one ❤
I love how it how they display rainbows as a sign of hope and determination in this show and It’s absolutely perfect to display it here for our final time seeing Ash and Pikachu. It’s a very fitting end for one of the best dynamic duos in all of cinema. Thank these two guys for shaping our childhoods and giving us some awesome memories.
Even though I stopped watching the series after Misty got replaced it still feel emotional that Ash's story has ended. Even though his story in my opinion should've ended a long time ago, it nice to see it get a proper conclusion. I've watch the first series when I was little and seeing the ending of Pokemon Master reminds me of the very first episode. Boy does this take me back. Thank You Ash Ketchum for the wonderful memories 😊
Gotta say. Pokemon has always been there for me since elementary school. I watched it religiously up until the end and seeing Ash grow and persevere despite all the times he failed inspired me.
Thank you Ash. You ARE the very best, like no one ever was.
This isn't a goodbye.....It's see you later.
So see you later Ash Ketchum. Thanks for being there through all my triumphs and struggles. Thanks for teaching me to think outside the box. Thanks for teaching me to never give up.
You think we might see him again in the future?
Honestly we prob are
@@simontrinh5069 Honestly, we probably are. ( Re-Edited)
Yeah if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have gotten into Pokemon, my first game was Yellow, and since the eshop is closing I made certain I got that AND Silver (My second) and Gold and Crystal.
@@amaniwhite9622 He will return, Im sure of it. They did the finale in such a way that it makes it possible to return in the near future
The boy who's journey was long enough for three childhoods has finally come to an end😢. Farewell Ash, may you be the very best like no one ever was.
When one story end another begins...
This actually hit me hard, I thought this was gonna be a series that would never officially “end”.
Me too!
I never thought I'd live to see the day ash would be put to rest
Even though I've never watched pokemon surprisingly but somehow I still feel emotional
It’s the end of an era.
Thank you for everything Ash Ketchum gone but never be forgotten.👍🏻
I WANT ASH BACK😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Why Serena did not appear in Aim to be a Pokémon Master?
He gave birth to us. He raises us. He taught us to be who we are now. He was there for us when we were sad. He taught us never to give up and to think outside the box. Ash Ketchum will forever be remembered as the 10 year old boy who raised us.
It was Great Watching Ash's Incredible and Long Journey, thank you Ash and Pikachu for being part of our childhood and he finally became The Very Best that no one ever was! Farwell Ash Ketchum and Pikachu.
I was born on the month of June of 1997, around the same exact time that Pokémon appears in the US. No joke, I literally grew up with Ash and spent my entire watching Ash. I seen his highs and lows; watching him lose it every league until G7.
Ash deserves the champion title, and he did so. Yet he feels like he’s still fighting for that goal (being a master), even though he is one. It comes to show that he just want to explore and see what’s new in the world.
The Pokémon anime world will never be the same now and yet; I thank Ash so much for being there for all of us and to show what determination and training can do to someone who’s been wanting to be the best for 26 years. From this, I can say that Ash Ketchum is one of the most successful anime character I seen and someone that can rival the biggest of anime characters.
For that, I Thank you Ash.
Still watching the series on and off rn. It saddens me to see Ash go but it also makes me happy in the sense that I can finally catch up now 😅 currently on season 15
I've never even watched the animes and I'm not really a Pokemon fan but this kinda makes me tear up because a lot of people's childhood is now coming to an end
‘Don’t be sad it ended, be happy it happened’
Ash Ketchum is one of those characters who couldn't possibly be forgotten.
As one story ends another story begins as the journey begins in new horizons.
As someone who hasn’t watched Pokémon, this feels so nostalgic. No matter how much you know about this show, we all know that it’s so iconic, and a crucial part to millions of childhoods and smiles. It’ll never be forgotten
Yeah I know
I'm going to remember him as the childhood greats
ASH IS NOT JUST OUR CHILDHOOD HE ICONIC
All good things come to a end. I really hoped this day would never come, gonna miss him
Imma miss this kid so much. We love you Ash, good luck on your future endeavours!
I may not be following and playing the franchise as much as I used to as a kid, but I am still glad to have been a part of this era. This miniseries may not have been everything I wanted it to be as I was hoping Ash would reunite with the rest of his companions, but it was still an emotional sendoff for him and Pikachu regardless. I don't think you need to be a Pokemon World Champion to be a pokemon Master, because a Pokemon Master is determined not by the strength of their Pokemon, but by the strength of their bond with them, and there is no greater example of that than Ash. Ash and Pikachu have helped shape the childhoods of millions of people around the world, including me and my brother, and I hope Liko and Roy will continue that legacy. Ash and Pikachu's journey may be over, but I am revisiting some of my old Pokemon games that I haven't finished or even played in years before this year, and I intend to finally finish them in Ash's honour. So with that, it is time that we say goodbye to Ash and Pikachu, I don't know what's next for them or if we'll ever see them again, but this much I know. Their journey was definitely packed with nonstop action, millions of laughs, heart-pounding perils and endless excitement. together, they have encountered fantastic friends, evil enemies and have met creatures beyond their wildest imagination. And now that their story had unfolded, they have unlocked the magic and mystery of a most wondrous place. The incredible world of Pokemon.
Goodbye, my old friends.
I'll remember your legends from the beginning and the end.
The part where he just picks up a stick, and lets the wind lead. Nothing gets better than that. Hope Ash's journey is filled with many more adventures to have, even if we can no longer experience them with him.
Ash left the same day I turned 23. And the message from this final episode fully resonated with me and possibly many others.
Because it applies to real life as well. Sure, the last few years weren’t easy with the pandemic, war scares and economical issues but even then, this stuff already existed before 2020 in one way or another and guess what? We got over them just fine because we were living with optimism and positivity. We can all do the same now. Storms may last long but not forever.
Although this is rather bittersweet rather than bad. Knowing that he’s a well known and iconic character and is referenced in multiple media. It won’t be the same without him
We can learn more and more from ash ketchum he was something special for everyone
And i want to say
Teaching us every good thing
Making us a better life😢
Thank you❤
Forever in hearts❤
Goodbye ash ketchum😭😨😢😭
Even with ash ketchum gone. we will always re watch his adventures. and i even bet that we will see him in the backround sometimes in the new beginning just roaming around. we will all miss and love Ash Ketchum.
I will miss ash and Pikachu‘s adventure so much. I remember when I was about seven years old when Pokémon came out, I started getting into it because it taught me about friendships and battles and the music blew me away too. I was 10 when I dressed up as ash for Halloween one year, and that was a good memory. It’s hard to believe that ash and Pikachu’s adventures are ending. I will never forget watching the adventures even if they’re not gonna be on Pokémon anymore hopefully they will make a cameo I am so proud and thankful to be a Pokémon kid growing up watching the show and I will always be a Pokémon kid. thankfully, I can watch reruns of the adventures, even if they’re not gonna be on the show anymore.🥺
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING D,'X
Thank you Ash for lots of memories. We’ll miss you.
seriously one of the only shows that can make me shed a tear
“When one door closes, another one opens”
Things change and we learn to adapt.
These are life lessons that stood with me as I watched the Pokémon anime
What Ash said about being a Pokémon master is befriending Pokémons, I agreed with that, since I have been doing the same as he did, also fighting alongside my allies.
He finally became The Very Best that no one ever was. It was Great Watching Ash's Incredible and Long Journey, I'm gonna miss him. Thank you Ash Ketchum for Everything, he can finally take a Long Break.
Farwell Ash Ketchum and Pikachu
He Truly Is The Very Best Like No One Ever Was! Goodbye Ash and Pikachu! 😭
The last cartoon of my childhood comes to an end. It has been an incredible journey that will be missed. Didn't get a chance to see much of the Johto, Hoenn & Sinnoh seasons cuz I was busy as a kid and didn't know when it was on tv. But the past 4 regions (Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar + Kanto) have been great and was able to watch every episode since. And let's not forget the movies too, all great. Ash and the memories will never be forgotten ❤️
He played such a great part of my childhood. I'll miss him.
Gone. But never forgotten. Thanks for childhood Ash
We'll all miss you Ash. Thank you for creating most of our childhoods!🥹
Finally leaving after 2.6 decades, he's still 10.
ASH REMAINS 10 FOREVER ♾️ OR HE COULD BE AT LEAST 11 or 13
During these past 26 years, we were watching the making of a legend. I think I speak for all of us when I say Ash and Pikachu will never be forgotten. He truly is the very best, like no one ever was.
Farewell, dear friends. Let us meet again in the future
26 Years, You Kept 2 Generations Happy, And we will miss you. No other Antagonist will be better than you, and the Loss Of Team Rocket is a hard blow aswell, *We will miss you, Ash Ketchum, and Jessie and James*
We're gonna miss him
Same 😢
Ash: well… I guess all my adventure is over…
Would you like to save the game? YES
There is already a saved file. Is it OK to overwrite it? YES
SAVING A LOT OF DATA…DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER…
ASH saved the game!
Thanks for the fun OG pokemon gang...
...and everything else you did.
Goodbye Ash you will never be forgotten 😢
There were many times, I thought I wouldn’t live to see this day. There’s some who didn’t, but I’m still here. I’m proud to see my boy do it.
Despite this, I'm very excited and hyped for the new Pokemon Series! I hope Liko and Roy are both well-written!
This 10 year old has been with us for a longer for 10 years and when I saw that shot I’m ngl I started tearing up
It really is bitter sweet. I am glad we are FINALLY getting a NEW main protag........I would be lying if I said I didn't miss him already!
This is the type of thing that would get every pokemon fan emotional and as the most well known anime out there I haven't seen this episode but I gotta go back an rewatch the show just to be prepared it be like saying goku's journey with Dragon ball has finished now gohan has to take over honestly watching a character leave after so many years really is emotional
Good bye Ash Ketchum. We will miss you so much.
Ash Ketchum, you, Pikachu and Team Rocket were the very first anime characters I’ve ever seen and knew, Ash, you and Pikachu were also one of my childhood favorite anime characters too. I’m sad to see you, Ash leave Pokémon, I hope you one day return to Pokémon, but until then, you take care of yourself, loved ones and your future experiences 🥹🤞🙏😭.
I'm totally gonna miss him, won't you guys?
After all these adventures ash has conquered, it make me feel like crying out so hard but realized there's zero tears came out from my eyes..
THIS MEANS ASH CAN STILL COME BACK 😭
Those who grew u with Pokémon, we’re witnessing history in the anime. Over 26 years have we seen Ash Ketchum, we thought that he could still be returning in coming anime’s, but just like anyone playing Pokémon, we all come and go, so his goodbye is like a reminder of all those who have played this game in his timeline and the new protagonists are like the new fans who are just getting into it.
It’s the circle of life .
People keep saying they’ll miss the show but it’s going to continue with a new set of characters! As sad as it is to see him go, I’m sure he’ll be part of the new series in some way eventually- whether or not it’s just a passing statement or a full on history lesson of Ash, I’m sure the new duo will find something on him!
It's not that sad, this dude has been the main character of this show since (technically) before I was born. Ash wasn't even that interesting.
@@hello-cm6obso perfectly put. Ash is was an excellent character for the target audience and it’s silly to try to argue otherwise given what the franchise grew into largely as a result of the series leading the way pretty much the entire time for games and whatnot….lead by ash and pikachu entirely or largely for all of those years
2:53 "Which way should we go?" Depends on which path will get you to the nearest bike shop, considering you still owe SOMEBODY a new bike to this day. In case you forget.
Thank you for everything Ash.
uh god not seeing "to be continued..." actually got me emotional
Hard to believe Ash did 26 years of adventuring in only 1 year Pokemon time
The Pokémon shows have been around for a long long time, so has Ash. It’s sad to see him go, but with a conclusion to a story like his, he’ll be remembered for generations to come.
