Pokemon Anime Exec Reveals Why Ash Got Pikachu
When you think about the Pokemon Anime, you must think about Ash Ketchum and his partner Pikachu. The iconic duo have existed for nearly 26 years on screen and have become synonymous with the franchise even though they only appear in a handful of video games, none of which are mainline entries. Ash’s infectious spirit, mixed with Pikachu’s fun yet complex personality, made them the pair that launched the anime to new heights. Speaking for Pikachu, the Pokemon became the franchise’s mascot and is easily the most recognizable Pokemon ever. But, as you know, their journey is about to end.
