AFTER 25 YEARS ASH MET HIS BUTTERFREE AGAIN! #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
NEW POKEMON ANIME ANNOUNCEMENT! “Pocket Monsters: Aim To Be A Pokémon Master” special! + Something completely new with new protagonists and Ash from AU! #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
"Pocket Monsters: Aim To Be A Pokémon Master" special seems to be the conclusion of Ash's story, telling what he will strive to do next on the path to his dream. #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
Ash meets Ho-Oh again - an eternal symbol of the beginning of a new journey for him! #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
The hair clip on the new protagonist girl's head is a reference to the Pokémon League symbol on Ash's original hat! #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
Wait... The silhouette of little Ash in the middle... Two adult figures... THERE'S NO FREAKING WAY?? ASH'S FATHER?! #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
I SWEAR THIS IS THE SAME LATIAS #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
Reference to the original Pocket Monsters poster! #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
So summing up: - 11 specials ending Ash's story in the main anime. - 1 special in the alternate universe, potentially showing us Ash's father. - New anime with new protagonists in Paldea, with a potential Ash cameo in the future (maybe older). #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
I'm glad I have met you.
This kid is crying because Ash's adventure is ending. Not only us, but children all over Japan is crying right now. #anipoke #アニポケ twitter.com/ym10kt27/statu…
But you know what? Even if the anime ends, nothing will change that light inside that he gave me and all of us. Nothing will change these feelings, these dreams, these bonds, this love. As painful as it is now, this lifetime adventure will never end. #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
Goh: "Ash... Can I really travel alone in this wide world? Until now, you have been with me..." Ash: "What are you talking about? If something happens, tell me. We're friends after all!" This dialogue is actually addressed to all Pokémon anime viewers right now. #anipoke
Given how all of sudden they're releasing a special with AU Ash, I think this serves as a proof that they are going to release similar "non-timeline" specials/movies about Ash & Pikachu in the future. After all, the duo is still iconic and beneficial for marketing. #anipoke
"Things that are taken for granted are actually not like that. But what a blessing it was just to be there." Somehow I feel that these words are also addressed to us, the viewers, who has been with anime all these years... And they hit hard. #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
While I'm grateful anyway, I wish this was a full 3 year arc, not just 11 specials, so we have time to properly prepare for the end. It was too sudden, I wasn't ready. #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
Honestly, I never thought that the day would come when we have to read these words... Goosebumps and tears in my eyes every time I read this. #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
It's so painfully symbolic that they showed us Ash's Butterfree - his first goodbye - just before announcing that we'll have to say goodbye to Ash himself as the protagonist. And at the same time showing: just like he met him again, we too will meet Ash again someday. #anipoke
This was the first thing he said when I opened Pokémas after a long time and IT HIT DIFFERENT NOW. 😭💔 #anipoke #アニポケ #PokemonMasters
I guess it's now safe to say that this thing on Ash's hat was supposed to mean "C" (=Champion) with the green circle being the planet (=World), meaning "World Champion". #anipoke #アニポケ #PokemonMasters
ASH USED HIS AURA IN THE NEW SPECIAL TO HELP THE SOUL OF THE IMMATERIAL GHOST BOY HARUTO AND EVEN ALLOW HIM TO PET HIS PIKACHU #anipoke #アニポケ #Pokemon
