A sacred page will turn for the Pokémon animation series. After nearly 25 years of service, Sacha and his faithful Pikachu will bow out.
” I’m Sacha, from Bourg Palette, and this is my friend, Pikachu. My dream is to become the greatest Pokémon Master in the world! “: this sentence has accompanied many people fed to Pokémon, saga of cult video games that has become an animation series (among other cultural products). Alas, the much feared moment has arrived: Sacha, accompanied by his faithful Pikachu (who has not always been very docile), has realized his dream and, in turn, will bow out.
In a press release published on December 16Pokémon Company announced the bad news: Two new characters and three starter Pokémon from Paldea will experience adventures in the world of Pokémon. Ash’s journey in special episodes will conclude The Series: Pokémon Ultimate Journeys. »
Ash, Pokémon hero, will give up his place
This fresh start makes sense, considering Ash has become the best Pokémon Trainer in the world. He therefore has nothing more to do. It still took him 25 seasons to achieve his goal. His triumph will be celebrated in a final chapter, bringing together ” a collection of special episodes “. We will meet Pierre and Ondine there, so many faces well known to those who have been following Sacha for years now. Pokémon Company understood that a tribute deserved to be paid.
We will have to expect to see the tears of many people after the ultimate appearance of Sacha on the screen. ” A page turns, everyone will be crying at the end of this season », assumes Lionel Iglesias. Noemie abounds: ” It’s weird to know that it’s over… “. If the pain is real, it is a pinch in the heart necessary to breathe new life into adaptation. Twenty-five years of good and loyal service, among other moments of tenderness, is a rare career for a hero who has inspired so many.
For its new series, Pokémon Company intends to capitalize on the success of video games Pokemon Purple and Scarlet, available on Nintendo Switch and located in the Paldea region. The two new heroes — Niko and Roy — can count on the very cute Poussacha, Chochodile and Coiffeton. Despite this huge page turned, the codes of the saga will be there: “ action, adventure, friendship, and Pokémon “.
We leave with the most beautiful scene shared by Sacha and Pikachu, taken from the very first film:
