it's a shame they decided it was time for ash to go, it's no surprise that viewership is declining, especially because of how iconic he was and the fact that his goal of becoming a pokemon master, is coming to a close soon. definitely hoping that the new main characters live up to our standards ❤❤❤
They should have continued journeys So that the last 11 episodes would have been well known Also 11 episodes? They should have done 30-50 somthing Then it would have given time to everything important and possibly small arcs on his Pokemon Many questions needed to be answered too And only in the final few episodes they should have announced Ash is finally leaving Also why does the dub take soooooooo Fing long?
Whenever Ash and pikachu make a return in the future anime or in another new series you know viewership will be high since the amount time that will pass by them being off screen. Can’t wait for that moment to arrive when their return happens.
Cameos at best most likely to happen. I really see Ash and pikachu coming back for an episode or two. It would most likely be an arc possibly a one hour special. Anything can happen.
Something tells me that Ash and Pikachu will probably return years later. They will probably return after two or three generations have passed, giving them both time to age a bit. The next time we may see Ash, he will probably be an adult and Pikachu will have grown as well. They will probably be facing new challenges now that they are older.
I just can't wait to see an adult Ash in the future. If he comes in as a mentor/fun uncle figure for the new protaganists, i'll be crying tears of joy.
I'm just upset that Ash beated leon by using 3 gimmicks while leon used one it infuriates me almost as much as when Ash beat hau pretty much by cheating
@@alolaamii oh trust me you’re not. I was rooting so hard for Leon even though I knew there was zero chance of him winning. Maybe it could’ve been more acceptable if the Masters 8 wasn’t complete trash from start to finish
@@alolaamii or God forbid Leon use a team of his own with all 3 gimmicks to try and balance it out. Given how broken he already was he could’ve probably solo’d half of the Masters 8 trainers at once.
@@alolaamii right back at ya. It’s good to know there were others out there still rooting for Leon even with all the hate he gets from fans. Especially from Ash fans who accept ZERO criticism of the battle and only use the argument of “Ash won! He deserves it! Shut up and be happy!”
*Dying. Also, I've been a fan since day 1. Most in the community came in around DP or BW. Very few jumped in around Advance. Plus, JN had low viewer ships anyway. It isn't just because of Ash leaving. It's about time Ash walks. At this point, the people complaining about it are just acting like spoiled children lol.
I have been watching Pokemon since 2000, and this is the best decision that Pokemon Company has made since Ash winning in Alola Pokemon League. You probably forgot how anime writers poor decision making was for Ash in generations 1-6 were he has lost every major Pokemon League tournament.
Ash will be back as a main protagonist with a new goal or sentiment. The new series will probably go on for around 1-2 years and if it does not reach the scope of audience that ash and pikachu brought in, then we’ll see our boy Ash to save the day. There’s a reason why he’s not being aged up. No time skip. And no I don’t believe that he’ll be back ONLY for movies and special appearances. He’ll be the main protagonist again. Personally for me, I won’t be watching the Anime until I hear about Ash again.
@@SuperPlacido1 I don’t know, I just don’t naturally feel inclined to follow another protagonist’s journey. I enjoy watching Ash’s journey even if it’s filler. However, I will watch the new anime here and there but it’s going to be hard watching it and not thinking about Ash since I grew up solely associating Pokémon to him and Pikachu.
@@tyanajones8399 He actually will. Come back to this comment after a 2 years. Ash is not getting a time skip. There’s a reason for this, otherwise if he was actually done they would age him and be done with his character forever. He’s 100% not done, and simply going to be on a hiatus. You don’t think anyone will challenge the best trainer in the world or try to take his place? There’s a million other concepts for ash and his character. Hence they are keeping him 10 forever to use his character again. He’ll be back for sure.
For my whole life, Ash going to every region doing the gym challenge and going into the Pokemon League tournament, now that Ash is the #1 trainer in the world, what else can he do, so I still want the gym challenge to be done in the Anime but I also want to see these mysteries done that is mentioned in the new show
I mean the anime viewership has been declining since it started practically, every season they lose like 10% of the audience and get like 5% back for the first episode of the next then it slowly leaves again
THANK YOU! Finally I see someone who gets that the anime already loses viewers anyway. It's a fact that inevitably happens for every form of media. Even Mario to an extent, whether or not you can accept that fact is up to you. And like I said a previous time, the times are different now. The long time fans have gotten older. It's time for a new protagonist that the new fans can look up to. That's where Liko and Roy can be placed. Ash leaving may result in the anime being destroyed but it was going to happen one day.
The original mistake was the "traveling around the world/region all to go back to one spot" decision from the anime. It just doesnt fit pokemon. I still blame sun and moon for this. The last 2 anime series for gen 7 & gen 8 ruined the "adventure" aspect the pokemon anime was known for. Not only that but it's going to be a mistake naming the new protagonist Liko. An easy way to not have caused any more controversy for the anime wouldve been simple, name her Rika, like rica matsumoto ashs 20 year+ sub voice in japan. Its not just the anime, but pokemon itself as a brand or franchise is loosing its magic by straying to far away from what made it special. Theres just no thought going into this anymore. Still havent been able to beat S/V bc of the bugs & glitches. This whole generation 9 is nothing but rushed.
"I still blame sun and moon for this. The last 2 anime series for gen 7 & gen 8 ruined the "adventure" aspect the pokemon anime was known for. " you knew that Pokemon XY had lower viewership than Yo Kai Watch in Japan, you wouldn't be surprised by this change 😆
@@spinotikus1518 yo! I just got this. From my understanding Yo-kai watch had a higher viewership because it was considered something "new" & rivaled pokemon before yo-kai watch heavily fell off. I mean I love XY games & the series alike don't get my wrong, but it was definitely a better written series and was more consistent than the series' that followed. It's just like the situation with the games, sun & moon are considered to be one of the slowest paced games in the franchise. They tried something new that disrupted the formula & seems like they didn't know where to take it after it launched. I enjoyed them when they first came out but replaying them is boring asf. X&Y for example, games although incomplete due to the 2011 japan tsunami, still have great replay ability. Same thing with the anime. It's easier to rewatch X&Y or Diamond & Pearl compared to sun and moon due to the pacing or so called adventure
I gonna miss Ash, honestly I feel like pokémon fans wouldn't stop watching if there was a new protagonist who woke up late in pallet town just like Ash and got a different starter and ended up meeting Ash and battling him
I actually want the new anime to focus on one region. I did not play scarlet and violet so i want to see the reigion through the anime. I am exited to see the new pokemon.
It really isn't, the show will always be targeted towards a younger audience, who will see these new protagonists the same way we saw Ash, if anything, this is a good way to revitalize the series, since its been declining in viewership ever since XYZ, 7 years ago, the casting for this series looks good, the new protags look good, the pokemon anime is not going anywhere
I think this is a good thing. Let the old fans leave, so the anime writers do what they can to rebuild the fanbase. For the last 10+ yrs Ash's character has been all over the place. Now the writers have to actually do the work instead of depending on nostalgia for views.
@@jasonbornot yea he is yall ash cry babies want ash to stay forever and have the anime stay mediocre and never grow. Pokemon horziens is a far better anime with way more intresting charecters and a evil team that actually feels threatning. Aash had is run for 26 yeras that's more then enough
You have activated a horde Wait I am starting to hear boss music Also HOW DO YOU WATCH THE ENITRE SEIRS LIKE HOW If I search I see free Hindi website I don’t want that I need something in English heck maybe even paid
pokemon anime is milking trash show now. should have made ashe grow up and kept it going as him being the champ. I will never watch pokemon anime again.
Do I have good news for you. The person who animated the recent movies, Pokemon XYZ best episodes and Sun & Moon best episodes is the main animator for this new series
Just want to say. Even though Ash is in Pokémon Journeys, the plot of Pokémon Journeys really destroyed the viewership. Now Ash Journey's is at the end, and new characters can kick in well. If the anime is still bad in quality, the viewership will continue to decline even as Ash is present! Also, I can imagine how many fans in the world would be very pissed if Ash ever came back to Pokémon as a main protagonist except in the movies.
Honestly, Ash NOT being in the new series gives me more reason to watch it. I’ve felt for years that they should’ve moved on from Ash. I know I’m in a serious minority but I stopped liking Ash long ago. I rooted so much for the final to be Leon vs Cynthia knowing full well it wouldn’t happen.
Hey I am watching pokemon right now but not horizon becuase ash is not their I am rewatching pokemon from season 1 to 25 I will watch new episodes of pokemon when ash returns even if it takes over some years
Ash's story literally turned into a fan service the moment Goh (journey) started. Not only there are a lot of fillers, time skip, and fan favorite Pokemon being caught by Ash, Goh was pretty much a kind of a Mary Sue (Gary Stu for male). Remember when Goh caught Suicune? It's no wonder if people finds it incomplete, and hollow. Ash's victory seems like being given easily. But that's just how many Poketubers felt, I don't know about the majority of the watcher. Also about why Pokemon Anime content being dropped in number, might be caused by Sho Pro Copyright Strikes. Small channels are being targeted to take down their videos, despite they have a fair use policy. This, of course, can snowballed further making more and more viewers unappealed to the show, creating more harms to everyone else instead.
@@chrisclack4258 Thank you for the reply. There are probably a lot less filler episodes on Journey compared to the Sun and Moon arc. But it's still there, where Ash literally did nothing important, or Goh stealing all the spotlight. Mind you that Ash was supposed to be the main character and focus.
I be as respectful as possible with my statement. I'd say it's pretty sad how fans/views only see Ash as a reason to stay committed to the anime. To me it just shows that people don't like changes and would rather stick to nostalgia related content to stay interested. Ash wasn't even written well (IMO) because of how repetitive his story development was throughout the 25 years course of the series. If being a Pokemon Master was about having a close relationship with all Pokemon then making Ash focus on battling gyms and championships shouldn't have been the largest staple of the anime. The problem for me about the friendship and friendly competition writing in the anime, it really showed how limited the story ideas were and the only time it made sense was in the movies to be honest. Overall I'm glad they trying something new and I say fans need to stop crying and let go of Nostalgia.
Yes, THANK you! There was little to no character development for him outside of mayyyybe the first season? He and his unevolved rat just stayed the same this entire time, I'm surprised more people weren't sick of them. But like you said, people are cowards who don't like change--even when it's for the better.
It's more so how they executed it. If they incorporated characters and tied up loose ends alot better, ash leaving wouldn't take such a big hit. I'm predicting they masterchief him. If the next few seasons flop, they bring him back
All facts. At least fans of the games got tired of the gen 1 pandering. Now I wish fans of the anime act the same. And it's a perfect analogy that some fans call him the "mascot" of Pokemon because he pretty much represents what the franchise is now. Nostalgia pandering over something actually good. He's only kept around because of his popularity not story reasons. You can replace him with a different character in every season and the story will still work, with maybe a few changes. Same way that those "paradox pokemon" are just rehashes of old Pokemon and gen 1 pokemon keep getting favored over others.
@@straightbusta257 I'm glad this round that they considered other mons from different gens to have Paradox designs, there are one or two from gen 1 but that's pretty much it.
@@SpikeThePorcupine23 If anything, the Paradox forms seem to favor gen 2 mons, with Great Tusk, Flutter Mane, Iron Treads, Iron Bundle, and Walking Wake all based on Johto Pokemon.
I think it’s safe to say at this point that this video is a little outdated. A lot of us have seen the start of “Pokémon Horizons” and it is looking very good. I’m excited to see how the series is going to continue.
If the stry is a mixture if the manga and games we can expect a high tier story if they add some good animations too then the era of ash is really gone its time for a new adventure
The casting for the new series seems good. Idk about the main director tho, the main director is Saori Den her only work is Mirage Queen Prefer Circus so idk about her. Then you have as creative director Daiki Tomiyasu (Pokemon Sun & Moon, Aim to be a Pokemon Master), as the series script overviewer which is the person who will decide if the script is good or not you have Dai Sato ( Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Eureka Seven, Wolf's Rain) so definitely a good asset for the script writing. For the action direction you have Tetsuo Yajima ( Pokemon The Movie : Secrets of the Jungle ,Pokemon The Movie : Power of US, Pokemon Mewtwo Counter Attacks, Pokemon XYZ the best episodes of it and Pokemon Sun & Moon Ultra Legends the best animated episodes of it as well ). As character designer you have Rei Yamazaki ( Pokemon Evolutions, Pokemon Movie : Power of Us, Pokemon Movie : I Choose You) and Kyoko Ito. Masafumi Ita as sound director (Pokemon Evolutions, Pokemon Movies worked in most of them , Pokemon Masters yes the game, Pokemon 1997 - 2017, Kuroku no Basket,. My Hero Academia, etc.) he worked in a lot of stuff. And finally Conisch is composing the music (Hetalia, Yugioh Zexal,Recovery of an MMO Junkie, Pokemon Journeys, Pokemon Hisuain Snow, Pokemon Twilight Wings)
It's so sad to see the anime getting hate and people are leaving. I'm actually wondering how the new anime series of Gen 9 will play out too, because I do like how it's going, and the preview showed it to be great, but the anime could decline worse if this continues. People already started hating journeys series with Goh at the time and now this could make things worse. I mean, we're only 3 episodes left of Ash, and even the Team Rockets episode this week maybe their last too!!! We might not even get any new movies or special episodes of Ash and Pikachu and I've been feeling sad since I heard about Team Rocket maybe ending because I love them as much as Ash and Pikachu. I do hope the Pokémon anime will be ok. It's great to see your channel reach nearly 50k subscribers Gooey448.
All I have to say is that the casting is stacked. Most of the casting choices worked in the Pokemon Movies, Sun & Moon and XYZ. Then you have the script overviewer which is the guy who decides if the script is good worked in Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Sound director worked in a lot of Pokemon animes, also worked in My Hero Academia and Kuroku no Basket. And the music composer is a good one too cuz he made the music for Pokemon Journeys, Pokemon Hisuian Snow, Pokemon Twilight Wings, Yugioh Zexal and Hetalia. The cast is stacked
Alright fake Pokemon fan. Ash simp. Check the cast for the new series. Your loss, the script overviewer worked in Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Animation director worked in the Pokemon Movies which have way better animation than the Ash series, Pokemon XYZ and Pokemon Sun & Moon (the best episodes from both those 2 main series). The sound director worked in Pokemon since the beginning, My Hero Academia and Kuroku no Basket. Music composer worked in Pokemon Journeys, Pokemon Hisuain Snow, Pokemon Twilight Wings, Yugioh Zexal and Hetalia, freaking Hetalia.
Eh honestly, Ash leaving is a good thing to me. His character in the latest seasons is so poorly written. He's an awful Gary Stu and I hate this Ash. However, now we have Riko and Roy, and I hope that they will be properly written, unlike Ash, but I have my doubts and I don't get my hopes up too much for now.
Well I can tell you something, the guy that decides if the story is good or not, the script overviewer is from Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo and both these animes have good story
Honestly Team Rocket characters are even worse written in this anime. Ash had some development when Pokemon Company has allowed him to win Alola Pokemon League after fans major backlash.
@@bacd-nn2lg Are you kidding ?? Team Rocket is funny, entertaining, they have complex personaliities and backstories, and even at their lowest point (if they even have one), they're still so much more well written than current Ash is.
You know what? Screw Ash. Who even watches Pokemon anymore? Aside from little kids and nostalgia blinded adults who are mentally 6. Trash milked protagonist. Mid side characters. Trash story. Villains have the same thing happening to them. Try to steal Pokemon, gets sent flying, rinse and repeat. Its tropes are so outdated that it should have ended in the 90s that aged as a cult classic. And oh boy its fanbase. Trust me they accept no criticism and even worse, defend its flaws. I get it it's for kids and maybe I'll let my future kids watch it, but even then there are way better kids shows that are more recommendable.
@@whatdafu...boooooom1864 Okay geez ^^' Even I'm nicer towards the anime. First, Ash used to be good, I'm starting to watch the first seasons again, and it's genuinly funny. The soft reboot of gen 5 ruined everything. Second, Team Rocket is great. They may fail in the same way everytime, but they're also deep, well written and really entertaining characters. Just watch the "Jamzs being the best character" videos for example and you'll see. And towards the fanbase, I agree, but there still are nice people out there that are also a part of this fanbase.
@@SuperPlacido1 I never once implied that I'm not going to watch it (in fact I'm going to watch the whole thing regardless of quality since I love the pokemon anime). You need to chill and stop being upset at the thought of someone not watching the anime.
THE POKÉMON ANIME IS GARBAGE A. The show constantly hits the reset button. Once every few years (when a new game comes out) ash will move to a new region, never talk to his friends again, never use any of his Pokémon again, and goes from being a semi competent tactician to a compleat idiot. Even worse his picachu the one Pokémon he has constantly had will go from being able to take on opponents in a much higher tier then him and win (latios) to being the weakest thing that can get ko-ed by a level 5 snivy B. Literally every character is annoying especially the male characters who are in fact not characters but a series of running gags. Brock: “OH I MUST CONFESS MY LIVE TO LITERALLY EVERY NURSE OR POLICE OFFICER OR FEMALE CHARACTER I SEE” Cilan: Describes everything in a food metaphor. Clemont: “I HAVE PULLED THIS NEVER BEFORE SEEN INVENTION OUT OF MY ASS!!! WATCH AS I CONTINUOUSLY PRAISE SCIENCE AND MY OWN ENGINEERING SKILLS AS THEY FAIL ME AT EVERY TURN!!!” C. Ash’s intelligence is entirely plot dependent. One moment he is a brilliant tactician teaching his Pokémon moves to counter his opponents and actually taking type matchups into consideration the next he thinks he can beat an entire gym with an underleveled politoad. Not to mention never recognizing team rocket. “Oh hey there are two idiots with pink and purple hair who speak in rhymes and finish each others sentences but they are wearing Groucho Marx glasses so they can’t possibly be team rocket.” D. Just team rocket. Where to start... first off routinely falling out of the stratosphere cannot be good for you. Secondly HOW ARE THESE THREE NOT BILLIONAIRE ARMS DEALERS!?!?!? 1. They have good business skills they routinely set up dummy business that make tones of money but they will shut them down in a day. 2. They routinely build giant mechs and Pokémon containment cages from scratch. Stop chasing a fairly common Pokémon out of a stupid one sided rivalry tell Giovanni to go fuck himself and go into business as Stark Tech style weapons manufacturers we know that James has the money to start it up and even if he didn’t want to use his family’s money they could just set up another dummy company for a week and they would have enough money to fund anything E. The movies just the movies. They are just shitty ads for the current mystery gift and games
If you ask me, Ash being a departure from the OG Pokemon Trainer, when even having a change in the art direction just so he could win a tournament, makes me sick to my stomach; so I lost interest because of this major change. I don't like the series anymore, because the anime felt like a joke, and a complete waste of time.
It was a long time coming, it was dying already loong ago since Johto. Shudo the original head writer hated how the series was formulaic and left the series forbonding with a comment how the formulaic episodes would bring an axe to the series. And since then the death of the series started, especially after BW flooped in Japan and started the budget cuts era during all of XY where they tried to save the situation only for it to not work especially after Ash loss against Alain. Then SM came and the series lost yet another good amount of viewership and then Journey with the second budget era coming in not just because of Covid. In Japan they hated Go and the series lost everything that made it charming to begin with. Ironically Journey ranked lower then BW in Japan which is an impressive feat. Honestly SM and JN feels more like the executive got pissed with the audience for not liking their product so they dragged Ash character in the mud with a series and an equal shitty pokemon League victory in Alola. Then it all went worst where the series still wasn't liked so they created more shit with Journey. And honestly I wouldn't be sorprised if that was the case, executives being bitter in having to give in using Ash as the tool they pleased bruteforced the anime in something it was never meant to be to just ruin it all together.
*video not vid. I do not understand the concept of wanting to shorten a word that is already short enough as it is. I find it ridiculous. But I do understand wanting to shorten long words.🤦♂
@@farosso_448 Yes! Until now, I wrote this to all the people who wrote "vid" and "vids" instead of "video" and "videos"! As tiring as seeing the word being misspelled!
Pokemon series ended for me when ash was defeated by Alan that was the last best battle ash ever. After that Pokemon series went down and I stopped watching the series 👎 I believe Pokemon is currently in hand's of wrong people
The new series is in good hands finally. Check the cast members. Damn most of them are good. And most of them worked in good animes, Pokemon Movies which are better than main series and XYZ. The script overviewer worked in Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo which both have a good script
The artwork got shit Too many legendary pokemon The pokemon just got stranger and stranger and less impressive Pokemons standards just dropped massively
Digimon yugioh and jojo all have different protagonists in each series and the previous ones often returned to the new series several times, pokemon have done that in manga and games.
@@d.n.tranger1457 but Keep in Mind Bro Who in the world watches Digimon, yugioh and Jojo I think people probably haven't heard of their names Pokemon is one of the highest rated Animes Removing main character is not good for any anime There are tons of examples of it 💔
And that's why I said people need to move on and like you said Jojo especially jotaro kujo he's the main protagonist for part 3 meanwhile he just a side character for part 4 and part 6 he isn't and people ok with that I mean people know Jojo because of jotaro
If I play pokemon, I don't want pokeballs. Id free them and have a whole army of pokemon behind me ready to whip someone's butt when they force me to fight. How I would tame a pokemon without a pokeball. Come join our army to freedom! stick with us and good things will come you're way, also i split my pay with all my pokemon so you walk into the store and buy what you want! the choice is yours ( no matter how rare the pokemon is I won't be using pokeballs) When there's a option to have a army of pokemon behind you instead of pokeballs, ill play pokemon again
Ngl i haven't Evan watched the last episode I haven't even seen him win and I've stopped watching it all together and I've sent letters to pokemon to add him back and they keep sending me letters to stop sending them because they don't give a shit
By making Liko or Rita his kid...it essentially keeps him in the anime as well as the viewers. She has his hair lol...and we all dreamed of a timeskip. Ash could retell his story of what he did after defeating Leon if needed be bringing him back as his 10 or 11 year old self in like a story to his daughter. If the new anime is a massive success then that won't be necessary as Liko and Roy are well enough to carry it on out. Anyways...Aim To Be A Pokemon Master has good filler episodes ngl but is a pretty lame ending to Ash's Journey: ie it's just leftover Journey's Filler Episodes they never got to use. Where tf is Pidgeot, Primeape and Butterfree? Why isn't Ash ROFLStomping pebs like Tobias who lost to Cynthia with yes a team of Legendaries before Mega-Evolutions or gimmicks but curbstomped Ash in his past for plot armor to go to the next region or maybe I dunno...Putting an end to Team Rocket and Giovanni once and for all? How about Ash goes to Indigo Plateau and takes out The Kanto Champion and Elite 4?! The viewership declining is because Aim To Be A Pokemon Master is not doing anything significant with closing Ash's Book and Brock & Misty don't even contribute to the episodes besides nostalgia pandering. Would these episodes of been any different say with Goh and Chloe instead? Lol I bet they were originally written with Chloe and Goh but erased and swapped with Brock and Misty as thet were all originally filler episodes they were planning to air during the Masters 8 Tournament. We should be getting like 25 episodes instead of just 11. Honestly...a Pidgeot/His Old Released Pokemon's Reunion, A Reunion at Oak's with all his old friends and then the Battle or Confrontation with Ho-Oh might be a little too much to cram in next week's Series Finale. 19-21 Minutes is all they got so haha might need an Hour which we really should be getting. Also...where and WHO TF is Ash's Dad? 26 years and they won't even give us that. Bs man He's still around...still talks with both Ash and Delia but lets Professor Oak pork his wife? Unless she's originally Delia Oak this anime's counterpart to Daisy Oak...Blue's(Gary's Dad in this canon) Sister and they are Family but that's just creepy and unlikely as Blue is Gary anyways and not Gary's Old Man as well as not canon in this anime. Ash should catch his Mom and Oak having sex for the finale that'd be priceless. "Mom...Professor Oak?! What are you two doing?!!" *Pikachu covers Ash's eyes to a screaming Delia and Oak*
People who think throwing iconic mascot is a good thing probably the same guy who think Yu-Gi-Oh gained more views after Yugi and Yami gone and HunterxHunter gained more sales after they replaced Gon with Kurapika(too bad for you HxH is discontinued). People will get hyped for new character for a while but asure you they'll steadily losing views
I kind of wish they had atleast ash come as a sort of mentor for Liko, he’s retired from the main character role but not completely scrapped. I might just be caught on nostalgia though.
It's also declining in the US too. For starters, The anime moved, again. It moved to Netflix, which isn't an bad choice, but I think that Nickelodeon wasn't even too interested, and local TV networks.... Yeah, the Children's Television Act isn't gonna let them have it. And when they do get it, they put the new episodes in "batches" every 2-3 months. Seriously, I would have watch all of them if they put new episodes in a week, but most Netflix kiddie shows just get new episodes every 2-3 months so it ain't gonna fit it. I stopped watching the anime in general after Sun & Moon, and I haven't seen an episode of Horizons yet, because it isn't gonna come until February. Speaking of Horizons, Netflix gets it! I wonder know why, maybe TPCi don't wanna repeat the move again because they are gonna lose a lot of their viewerbase if they did it again, but seriously. 6 new episodes every 2-3 months? I know it's for the first 6 episodes, but if they are gonna keep doing it, everyone is gonna watch the sub versions of the original Japanese versions because at least they air the new episodes weekly than here. Canada also does the same thing too! Basically, if the TPCi-Netflix deal ends, which isn't gonna be in like 1-2 years, then they could find an different distributor. Maybe Weigel Broadcasting could be interested in picking it up and air new episodes on MeTV, but from what I mentioned earlier about the local TV networks, they have to put some advertising restrictions when they air it
Honestly, I stopped watching the anime long before they planned to retire Ash, because I was sick to death of having him and his unevolved runt of a Pikachu shoved in my face constantly. I straight-up celebrated when I heard they were retiring him.
@@tyanajones8399 Captain Pikachu is not Ash's Pikachu. The latter refuses evolution multiple times, while the former has yet to do so even once. As such, the former has yet to earn my ire.
Simple logic: Pokémon was popular only because of ash and Pikachu and just letting them go like that was never a good choice. Also personally I have no internet in aim to become a Pokémon master series because it's mostly filler episodes and nostalgic episodes really nothing special. Yea so I do agree Pokémon is dying!
Well people refuse to accept change and new things. I am excited for the new series the script overviewer worked in freaking Cowboy Bebop. The Animation director worked in the most recent movies and in the best episodes of XYZ and Sun & Moon. The sound director worked in Pokemon since the beginning, he also worked in My Hero Academia and Kuroku no Basket. And the music composer worked in Hetalia, Yugioh Zexal, Pokemon Hisuian Snow, Pokemon Twilight Wings and Journeys.
Mate, they could have used any other character and the show would have been fine, it still is fine, the show will always be targeted to words a younger audience who will love the new protagonists the same way we loved ash, move on
*videos not vids. I do not understand the concept of wanting to shorten a word that is already short enough as it is. I find it ridiculous. But I do understand wanting to shorten long words.🤦♂
I was happy thinking that now Ash is leaving and we'll finally get a well deserved mascot but no that yellow piece of stinky garbage is still the mascot of my most favourite franchise. I'm so done with that trashy mascot that if someone gives me a PSA 10 graded Pikachu card even for free I'll pay to ship it back to them. Pokemon lost on a huge opportunity and disappointed fans big time by again giving us the yellow garbage as a mascot, a huge let down
Don't worry new anime looking at the cast members will be good. The person that decides if the story script is good worked in Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Animation director worked in the Pokemon Movies which have better animation than main series, and in the best animated episodes of XYZ and Sun & Moon
I'm really excited and intrigued about the new anime! I don't understand why there are so many closed-minded people! They should at least try it and give it a chance! We don't know, maybe it'll be great!
@@jjojon7072 they are, and they can't accept change or something different. Little did they know that there is at least 7 Pokemon animes that don't have Ash in it
They are just too stubborn on status quo, and fear that any change will be bad for them. Besides The Pokemon Company would start losing viewers if younger viewers would have to watch over 1200 episodes to catch up on the Ash adventures. It would take around 1 month of constant watching anime alone for 5-6 hours every day, and not everyone can afford to waste so much time (I have watch entire One Piece episodes so this is why I know how long it will take).
@Gooey448 I have a question for you: Why do you put a heart to people who comment "First"? Shouldn't you make them understand that it's completely stupid to write "First" and that it just pollutes the comment space of a lot of RU-vid videos?
Check the cast for new anime. With the script overviewer being the same of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. I don't think the series will be as childish as they seem
Hey imagine this! :) A few days after the premier of the new Pokemon series Ash, Pikachu, MIsty and Brock are on a coffe. Ash lifting his orange juice glass high: I would like to make a propose, my friends! To our new beginnings and to our much deserved freedom! Misty: Yes!! Now that our use on the Pokemon Anime is officially done we can enjoy each other's company way more! Pikachu: Pika! Pika! Brock looking to his smartphone: Um... guys.... I think the Pokemon franchise has a big problem... He then shows them Critical Drinker's first impressions of the new series with the title: "Pokemon At It's Worst!" C.D: My exprience with Pokemon is a really complicating one, like how I ended up with my wife. Things started pretty innocently with the Kanto, Orange Islands and the Johto region (at that point Ash, misty, Brock and Pikachu look each other with satisfaction.) They were light hearted, upbeat, funny and uplifting years when we were still young and optimistic people. But with Hoenn we started to get older and the excitement and fun started drastically to lower themselves. As the time went by our distance became bigger and bigger. But when we reached the Sinnoh region... We suddenly grew up!! We realised that we may be not kids anymore but we were old and mature enough to go on and settle our lives down. But suddenly... Black And White showed up and our relationship became aggresive and mean spirited. And just I thought that I was ready to move on from the toxic relationship... Along came Greninja and literally saved the day! But then we decided to go for vacations to the Sun and Moon and at the same time betray everything that poor bastard Greninja tried to make! But at one point we realized our mistakes and we tried to make up. And the results were... this! (He shows up Ash winning the Pokemon World Cup.) We... finally... did it! We finally got married and with Journeys and Master series we made our lives, found fine jobs and we made 2 wonderful children.
on of those veiwers that are gonna go is me, it has effected me a lot since ash and pikachu was something i watched since i was born, he stayed the same age as me until i was 10, now i just feel super depressed that he is gone since i know we might or might not see him more, i really hope the new characters are good for new generations, if he does come back then i would probably be the most happy person ever
Yeah, I agree with you but I can’t help but be skeptical after all the stuff they’ve done in the past I feel Laborteaux coming on. Oh wait, it’s already happening but we’ll see but my expectations are pretty low with the Pokémon franchise right now.
When I found out regular Pokémon was coming to an end my nostalgic having ass started watching the whole series 15-20 episodes a day and right now I'm at ep 58 in journeys, I'm really sad ash isn't going to be the main character anymore. But on the bright side I'm going to be watching the new Pokémon when it come out and I'm hoping its amazing!
Something old timers like us have a hard time understanding is that is very difficult to like a character that old (Ash) if you are starting to watch Pokemon just nown which is something that was kinda addressed with Goh. You do not make sense of the developments of characters/Pokémon and lore, unless you played/watched since Gen 1.
dude im exiting for the new one if it was ash agian i would by like: oh ash journey agian :/ defendly agian similair but now they can do like everyting
just because ash is not the main character that does not mean pokemon anime itself is dying, and there already new protags that are as interesting as ash, and we already heard that the new series is gona be written by the one who writte pokemon x and y anime, so im pretty sure the show will be popular
