      I feel like especially for the 90s Kids this feels like the end of 25 year journey where you see the whole history coming over to one point. Seeing all the companions and pokemon he has travelled with including the likes of solgaleo and larvitar that he never officially caught.
      I just got so excited when we finally got a cameo of butterfree and pidgeot. That shot of the og 6...loved it.

I know I want Sonic to be kinda hanging in the ring, or halfway out of the ring, tossing up a Pokeball instead of a ring, (maybe also holding a keyblade or something I dunno work in progress lol) and engraved in the ring would be that lyric.

    I have a lot to say.
    1:This is my new all time favorite episode of the franchise.
    2: This battle is my favorite in the franchise. Sorry Ash vs Paul.
    3: My favorite part of this episode is when Pikachu remembers all the pokemon Ash caught and regains consciousness and gets that amazing powerup which I am now gonna call Gigacharge Pikachu.
    4: I know for a fact that there wasn't a fan who didn't scream when he won.
    5: This day will definitely become a holiday for us trainers. I will remember November 11th for the rest of my life.

      3rd i think it's better called pika papow ( the friendship based let's go Pikachu move) it's more fitting since it's used when Pikachu remembers all their friends and the move scales with the friendship stat and was op for Ash's Pikachu since their friendship is out of this world

I think they would sooner let Ash explore the realm of being a world champ, let him get comfortable in it. On top of all that, Ash and Pikachu are the face of the anime; a time skip for Scarlet and Violet would mean they would have to phase out Ash a lot sooner; who knows how fans of the anime who have grown up with Ash would react.
