Whether you live in Japan or are an international fan, this week has been very stressful if you love the Pokemon franchise. The reason is that the Pokemon Anime is about to drop the final episode featuring Ash Ketchum. The boy from Pallet Town started his journey nearly 26 years ago, and he dreamed of becoming a “Pokemon Master.” The journey was meant to be a one-off but quickly became one of the most successful anime ever. We followed Ash through eight main regions, numerous side regions, and multiple movie adventures. But now, it’s time for him to part ways with fans.
As one would expect, The Pokemon Company has been dropping numerous teases about Ash’s final episode, including a special tweet below with four stills from the upcoming episode. In the stills and tweet, we see that Ash returns to his home of Pallet Town, where he meets his forever rival and friend in Gary. There, Gary poses the question of whether Ash is “closer to his goal” of being a Pokemon Master. No doubt the intent is to set up Ash’s final reflection on his “life and journey” before he heads off into the anime sunset.
