It's gonna end with Professor Gary telling Ash's daughter that if she wanted a Pokemon companion she should have been on time like the other children.

Yes. Ash became world champion, so he's being written out of the story, and it's going to follow this character, which everyone is assuming is his daughter.

The thing is that the Japanese equivalent (Mezase Pokemon Master) is the opening for this series, and they reused parts of the original Japanese opening, so if they get the rights to the song, yes it will probably happen with the dub.

Yes there is 1 season left (11-12 episodes, depends on when it ends as they kinda started a week late) and Ash is no longer the main character.

He was only referenced a couple of episode before. He has not reunited with Ash.
Also Last Special had a reference to him but that was M20 Ash and not regular Ash.

This shit right here is what matters. It wouldn't be such a big deal if Ash hadn't explicitly said that he would come back for Pidgeot.

I never understand why/how people think the Ash of the final season has any connection to the original Ash. The entire anime was rebooted/reset after the "Advanced" anime series' conclusion.

Does he actually make references to the first set of seasons? Like mentioning how Brock and Misty were friends he traveled with before If he does, that could be why people make the connection. But its been a while since I saw any clips from it

Maybe that they keep mentioning things that happened long in the past. If it is a different person/timeline, it's a very similar one.

I find it hard to believe it's the same Ash mostly because whenever they move to a new region or start a new season, he seems to almost immediately forget almost all of his previous experiences or adventures, aside from a select few when the writers try to invoke nostalgia or something. Not to mention how he literally never ages (despite references way back in several Indigo League episodes that state that they had been out adventuring for over a year). It's frustrating and that's why I really think his character was hard reset several times, particularly after the Gen 3 anime ended.

Thats always been a problem with cartoons They want to keep it going But never have the characters age With adults, its not usually a problem But with kids (like Ash, who works only when young for the show), it doesnt work as well

If they really wanted hard reboots, theyd have to get rid of all references. And keeping others like Team Rocket would mean possibly a first meeting every time That said, in the end, its just a cartoon, so

Impressed you seem to think that when May showed up in DPPt AND that season had Ash cycling through his animals in the league battles.

The age thing people seem so concerned about was always stupid to me. Its an anime with a floating timeline in a series where time has never been a factor.

Imagine if the last episode was just him awakening from a coma and the past 25 years was a dream.

Or even worse

Final episode ends showing his elderly mother walking into a hospital room where ash lies there in a coma, and and then she pulls the plug on his life support, sits by him and cries with her face resting on his body. The screen slowly fades the black and the credits roll with a a very somber sounding version of the original theme song playing

Literally came into this topic solely to say this.

This is how I want the series to end.

Or better yet, the way you posted in your spoiler.


Though I will offer up all of the Internet Points I have accrued over the last 30 years if it instead ends with the camera panning out, until we realize that the entire series has just been in the imagination of an autistic boy staring at a snowglobe.
