Ash Ketchum was the protagonist of more than 1000 episodes of the anime Pokemon, and the numerous feature films produced over the brand’s 25-year history, and is now about to say goodbye for good. In the Pokémon: Exploration series, Ash has managed to fulfill his dream of becoming the world champion, but has he really become a champion?
Pokémon: Strive to become a Pokémon master it’s almost over and with the series comes Ash’s journey to an end. However, the young trainer from Pallet Town still seems to have a lot to learn. Despite Ash actually earning the coveted title of champion and defeating Dandel in one of the most memorable matches of the series, he has shown that he still wants to explore the world and strive to be the best.the very best‘ as you will recall from the anime’s opening theme.
A… become Pokémon master It’s not an easy goal, as pointed out by director Kunihiko Yuyama, who indulged in a rather abstract interpretation, comparing a Pokémon Master to a rainbow. unattainable, but still pursued by many.

Consequently, in the future of the series we can expect a return of the character Ash, certainly not in the role of the protagonist, but ready to prove his worth as a trainer. What do you think? We await your opinion in the comments. Finally, we leave you with another question, which is whether the Pokémon anime can survive without Ash Ketchum.
