I love Ash but I've to say, it's no mistake. A new character can make things more interesting and frankly, the guy just needs to rest, he journeyed for far too long.
@Jociaoftrades Жыл бұрын
Yup. Ash is honestly the reason I don’t watch the anime. When things like the little shorts I can’t remember the name of, but had the girl in the woods get trapped in a house for of ghost Pokémon, I enjoyed that. And things like Origins. Hell I enjoyed seeing Misty and Brock come back just to see how they’ve grown. Ash never grew. Sure in character, but it wasn’t enough. So now that he is finally leaving, I think the anime will be more interesting to me. And trust me. I wanted to be like Ash when I was a kid.

Yeah and I think his victory in the World Championship was the perfect way to end his journey! Because after that, I feel like Paldeo wouldn't really do anything else. I do see him becoming a pure mentor figure for this new series. If they make this new girl his daughter, I could really see potential writing between them, kind of similar to Funimation's Goku and Gohan dynamic!

To be honest I was expecting this final episode of Pokemon Journey Serie to at least have all of Ash's friends to come and celebrate before Ash departed with Goh and set off on his new Journey or even at least see a few of Ash's unevolved and middle evolved Pokemon finally evolved at last because that would make a better episode than this one. And now with the upcoming final chapter on Ash and Pikachu this year we will never see them again then after that but the same goes for Team Rocket (Jessie, James and Meowth). I really wished that the Japanese have though things through because with other regions villians from past Pokemon Anime Series like Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Galactic, Team Plasma and Team Flare have disband after being defeated by Ash and his friends I would have though they should do the same for Team Rocket by now.

The general director of the anime kunihiko iyama already gave us a canon answer why ash doesn’t age He says “I viewed the anime as a story that captured the feel of a day of summer vacation in one’s childhood of children venturing on a trip into the unknown exploring a world without parents alongside their friends and others who they engage along the way” “In the setting of the animation the main character ash is forever ten years old and the background season is forever early summer” “Sometimes it gets cold in the mountains or it could be hot, those changes happen by traveling” “Fundamentally it is forever early summer and he is forever ten years old and on top of that a day of summer vacation repeats perpetually” “This is what I hoped to create” “ a view of the world that would be ideal for children (addlibbed by me: and young at heart)”

Ok y'all let's be real for a minute here. Y'all always said that Ash sucked because he kept losing pokemon leagues. But now because he's gone y'all pretend like he's the best trainer in the whole pokemon universe. I don't care that Ash is the world champion or whatever. This mf barely knows anything about type effectiveness. And plus his memory gets wiped everytime a new cycle comes. out. AND he can barely fully evolve a pokemon, how terrible of a trainer do you have to be to not be able to fully evolve pokemon that evolve BY LEVEL UP.Ash was never good. Y'all just tricked your brain into thinking he was because he's gone now.

@@Wario1382 Hmm. Heavily depends on how they present the new characters during their time in the spotlight. A good writer can feel the correct path for a character to walk down as they write, so I say "Just do what feels right". If they muck up and fail the characters first try the have a short while to try fixing them before realising they can't continue. If they have the characters work well they have to plan for the eventuality that they too will leave the anime one day. This is something the anime creators struggled with when presenting Ash in any series. After gen 4 they either had to dumb him down or have him keep moving up to the top. In my personal opinion the Pokèmon Company now has lots of data to work with when it comes to writing protagonists, so I feel these new characters will make a lot of good early impressions.

It's not a mistake, what would be a mistake would be to bring him back if these new characters don't take off. The only people who are saying for him to stay are the ones who don't actually watch the series. Also, side note, making Liko connected to Ash would be a mistake, she needs to be her own character and form her own identity without having to relia on her being connected to Ash to be well known.

I feel that it's maybe one generation too soon for Ash to be replaced as I reckon the fact that he's the world monarch is a perfect setup for his invitation to Paldea where there are multiple 'champion' level trainers for him to meet and battle etc. And if they wanted to go a different route because he's supposedly the strongest trainer, then they could have him focus of the treasure hunt or some other offering of the Paldea region. Plus, having new protagonists with generation 10 would have been a nicer number than starting with generation 9. Ah well, only time will tell how well these new protagonists end up being.

As intentionally vague as Ash's goal of 'pokemon master' is, we've all viewed, cheered, and bonded most with Ash through battles. Now that he's the strongest trainer in the anime world, there's nowhere for him to go; and it's impossible for the anime with him and pikachu to have stakes now. Ash and Pikachu are going out on a high note; and that's a good thing. The new characters have some huge shoes to fill. But it's possible for them to do so as long as the story isn't a carbon copy of the Ash formula.
@ssjgarfield Жыл бұрын
I think it's about time for Ash to clear the road for a new protagonist. I'm still hinging on the idea that Liko is Ash's daughter due to the statement that Liko doesn't like to talk about her family because she doesn't want to get special treatment from the school she attends and the only way I can see her reasons for not liking to talk about her family is if she's the daughter of the World Champion. Either that or something horrible happened to her parents, but I don't see the Pokémon anime do that to a main protagonist.

Ash leaving the anime is not a mistake. The time has come for him to step aside. But, the anime going forward needs to let the new protagonists be... new protagonists, like you said. It's safer, in my opinion, if Liko is NOT related to Ash, and this would actually be a smarter move at this stage. I just don't want the anime to use all their best tricks too quickly and then burn out needlessly. Move as far away from Ash as possible, start from zero, and work from there.

Honestly, I've felt it was coming for a while now. Sometime during Journeys I kinda got this feeling in my gut that something was up. I ignored it but it never went away. In hindsight, it was pretty obvious. I'm sad, obviously, but like when Brock left I do think that it needed to happen. The anime has been needing a breath of fresh air for a while now. Ash had been working towards his goal for so long, it was starting to become pointless keeping up with the anime. Of course, a part of me is worried. Some shows and movies as of late have been turning their main characters into blank slates so that people can see themselves in the character and you know that's... fine but it can make protagonists kinda boring.

I’m not sad. I wish he would have leave the anime sooner (like, way sooner, after the Orange archipelago). He was not a good character and should have never stayed for so long. The manga had the right idea by switching up protagonists during each arc, meaning that even if some of them were duds, looking at you Emerald, X and Blato (Blatwo? I’m not even sure how this one is called in english), it was no big deal since they would be gone and replaced soon enough (same for Digimon I guess, since of the three seasons I watched, I always loved the cast).
@SunshineRey Жыл бұрын
I’ve been more of a Digimon fan all my life. I grew up with the original cast, then I watched them get replaced as the main cast, but I never fell out of love for them. When Last Evolution Kizuna came out, I didn’t watched it immediately but the thought of it was bittersweet for me. I was ecstatic for one final swan song from my favorite characters, but sad because this was the end of the characters I loved. After watching it, I balled my eyes out at the ending, but was happy because that meant the cast I watched when I was like 6 finally became adults and moved on with their lives for better things. It was a satisfying ending, even though 02 and tri were a bit messy and a reboot came out a bit later, I was blown away by the ending and all the emotions I felt because of these characters. If the same thing happens to Ash, (which it does look like they’re going to do for him) I think it can only be a good thing. (Also it might be a good idea not to think of this new season as a continuation of the anime, but the start of an entirely new series like how Digimon tamers is a new series than DM and 02)

If you've never heard the story of how Ahsoka became one of the most beloved Star Wars characters, you should look it up. They intentionally made her in such a way that fans would dislike her with the plan from the start that they would unravel and remake her while the fans watched. And it was an extraordinary example of how to introduce a new character into an established franchise. It would be kind of cool if they did something similar with this new character. Introduce her as everything the fans fear, then put her through trials that undo those traits and make her into a truly strong character.

I think it’s a good idea to pass the touch to a new protagonist. Ash literally became a Pokémon master so to have in as a protagonist would be weird as he does have much goals after that. If he were the protagonist the Pokémon company would mostly likely would have to do another soft reboot or hard reboot which I know would disappoint a lot of fans. So I thinks it’s great for a new protagonists to be the new mascot of the anime.

In my opinion, it is long over due. If anything, he should have been replaced when Ruby & Sapphire rolled around for Brendan and May, then each couple of playable characters taking up the torch when a new generation comes out. Johto would have felt a little odd because of its sequel to Kohto status. That would give them 3 or 4 years to build up a character and have an arc over that time, compared to Ash never really being able to grow much. Then you could also do those episodes where the previous protag and their traveling buddies come back for a crossover, like say Super Sentai always does with its yearly change ups. I watched some of Boruto and I actually liked the character Boruto more than I liked Naruto for a long time. However, the problem is that he did the exact same things that his dad did, copy and paste, and far less interestingly. It is going to be important to NOT just like the new protag be just a clone of Ash. There is probably GOING to be a backlash though. Merely because the term "female protagonist" brings out lots of irrational hatred.

I would have liked to see a fully fledged 'send-off' season... a victory lap of sorts. It could have been a great moment to not only tie up loose ends in a fuller manner (ie, evolving old team members, giving them a chance to shine as champion-tier mons), but also... *give Ash a new motivation*. He has been stagnant since XY. He peaked, and ever since, his path to become a master was sidelined (still a thing, but less so - Ash didn't really grow much... he just went through the motions). But as champion... now he could have a fresh new take. He is the best... surely an emptiness comes with that? What next? Remember Johto? Ash beat Gary and when his rival took a new path, Ash felt lost - until a new goal presented itself via Hoenn. So what could Champion Ash aspire towards? Red had catching Mew... perhaps for Ash... finding and besting Ho-oh, bringing it full circle? Okay maybe too much like that movie... but Mewtwo could work, or something else entirely. Pokemon works best with a *journey* (Sun and Moon and Journeys lacked that: the world felt small, and episodes aimless). Tldr: I wanted Ash going on one final prolonged journey, worthy of a Master. Maybe an arc of self discovery included: what does it mean to be fulfilled? As #1, does Ash aspire for more? Does he find a new passion? Gym Leaders help trainers to grow... what does Ash do next in life? Battle until overthrown? Mentor?

At first I didn't think it would ever happen. Haven't there been other anime protags that are still part of these ongoing anime series? But now that it's finally happening, I do feel some type of way. Was looking forward to seeing how they would handle him as a strong character, if they'll let him catch more pokemon then the usual 5/6 this generation, some of his older pokes finally evolving, what kind of 9th gen pokes will he have, etc. Now we'll never see that. I've been saying for the last couple weeks, will the new anime actually survive without the face (Ash), the mascot (Pikachu), Japan's popular trio (Team Rocket) and other past familiar faces?

I believe its no mistake. Imagine if Ash went to Paldea and lost a battle. People would be calling him a fraud, and having all of these high expectations for him. I believe that this will be a fresh new start and hopefully Lika, Rika, Riko, whatever her name is, can provide us all of the funny and epic moments that Ash and friends did.

It maybe a mistake, because they had ample chances to change protagonist throughout the Pokemon anime, they even try by showing the character known as Jimmy who was based on Gold the character from Pokemon Gold and Silver, not to mention other characters in one of them even battle Ash in the silver conference, and they all came from the special Legend of thunder I believe, I wouldn't be surprised if they brought that out as a test to see if they should change protagonist before Johto began, but I think it was shot down, for them to now do it after everything they put Ash through, by either dumbing him down or weakening Pikachu, and now they're going to finally change protagonist after all these years? It's why I say it maybe a mistake because can they create a character that was just as great or greater than Ash? That's the question, because at the end of the day it all came down to confidence, it's spinoff such as Pokemon mystery dungeons, Origin, and rescue rangers never had an abundance of episodes, because that's what it comes down to is their confidence in doing this, because they're having certain stories that blew because they change protagonist, and that's what worries me, not to mention that the story of scarlet and violet revolves around time-traveling you know that's hard to do in a story.

To anyone who says Ash leaving the anime is a mistake, ask yourselves do you want Ash do the same thing again despite being a champion? Do you want him to go back facing gym leaders? Do you want another stupid reset again like in BW? He has run his course just let him rest already. With that, I recommend them read the Adventures manga. It shows how focusing on a variety of protagonists helps to keep a story fresh and proves how keeping Ash in the anime only stagnates the show than it benefits it.

definitely a huge mistake. If I were to bring Ash back, I would have some of the characters to be a bit realistic when it comes to his dream of being pokemon master being too vague. If I have to Age Ash, I would say 13-15 years old. Even if it means retconning Ash's status as world champion.

The best way for this series to go is to start off the first half of the first "season" (around the first eleven episodes) to build the character of liko. Then, by the mid-season break, they will introduce something that can spark a theory on how ash is related to liko and maybe a mystery on why ash is missing. This can range from like Liko getting a pokeball of one of Ashes old pokemon that could be a part of his old gang or one he caught of screen during the time skip that has something of ash's.

I think it's been long overdue. Ash has been stale for a long time. His personality is about as basic as it gets for a shonen because he's meant to be an eternal stand in for the target audience. He was only recently allowed to beat a league and had his goal left deliberately vague. It's been stalling the series for so long because they have to keep repeating the same old same old. It needed a big change to let the series grow.

The fact is 8-12 year old kids are by far the most important demographic for the Pokemon anime by like 90% of watchers of the anime being kids. And we adults (or well, at least physical adults) are just there to come along the the ride these children enjoy. Thinking the adults watching Pokemon have a significant impact on ratings is downright delusional. And no, kids in these demographics don't care about an''iconic MC'' they just want a enjoyable show with Pokemon. Also, why have this discussion now despite not only 1 episode with the new MC being aired? This discussion can only be useful after at least 1 season with the new MC has passed.

What I am hoping for Liko is that she'll try all sorts of different things. Being a trainer and doing gyms and such will for sure be her main focus. But It would be nice for her to try out the other routes at times, not every maining the other options but at least giving them shots. It would be nice for her to be a character to be undecided on what she wants to do exactly wants to do, so she tries out all different things. General pokemon training will be her main focus and she wants to do well in the league system, but she is open to other pathways. Since you mentioned Boruto I might as well mention Boruto's sister Himawari who is a character in the same boat. She isn't entirely sure if she wants to be a shinobi just yet, and she is open to other career pathways.

I don't mind the anime taking the "Boruto route" if that's what is ultimately decided. Just don't screw it up. Make the new protagonist the main focus of the show and have Ash pop in on rare to help when it seems appropriate, but not overstay and overshadow her. If they choose to make Ash a champion figure like Leon, then that would be cool too. It would also make a lot of sense since Leon had a major impact on Ash's journey and Ash following a similar path to Leon's would pay homage to the previous series.
