If you watched Pokemon as a kid, you should watch the last 11 episode arc. The entire thing is basically just a huge love letter to those early seasons.

Anyone want to start a rewatch podcast? There’s gotta be like ten already but I’ll bet there isn’t a communist one yet.

edit: okay there’s multiple dozen pokemon podcasts lmao, but all the ones billing themselves as “rewatches” either stopped production three years ago or only have one episode out.

Why now? Why did they end the anime now?

To clarify: The anime will continue, but Ash and Pikachu are done as the main protags.

Nope, just today. You might be thinking of 1 or 2 of the more recent AU movies starring Red rather than Ash.

Wait, now I’m even more confused. Why did they wait 26 years to change protagonists?

Cuz writing for a preestablished character is easier I guess.

Haven’t watched since season 1. Used to set my VCR to record it at 7:30 in the morning. I got off my overnight shift at 8am and bam, I’m hitting the bong and watching Pokemon and fast forwarding all the dumb commercials. I even bought a ticket to see the movie.

I heard they got rid of Team Rocket and I never bothered to tune in again. Then they started introducing new crops of Pokemon and that dumb card game. Even if I wanted to play, I couldn’t. No way I was going to be the grown-ass man playing a bunch of 11 year olds.

I like that you chose the screenshot with the LGBT symbol in it. :soviet-heart:
