Ash Ketchum's Final Chapter


This is it. Nintendo has finally announced that they are retiring Ash Ketchum from the Pokemon TV series, and they are chronicling the entire Ash Ketchum Arc with an 11-episode compilation called "Aiming to be a Pokemon Master", which is officially confirmed to be the final chapter for Ash and Pikachu before a new Pokemon TV series taking place in the Paldea region begins.

However, I feel disappointed that Ash Ketchum will never get to make a real appearance in the Super Smash Bros series, and just as disappointing could possibly be the revelation that Ash Ketchum was dying from the very beginning because the possibility that becoming a Pokemon Master is the moment right before death could actually be correct all along. In other words, "Aiming to be a Pokemon Master" is merely a celebration of the life of Ash Ketchum, just as the Champions' Ballad celebrates the life of the four Champions in Breath of The Wild. Who knows, maybe Lt Surge's war can finally be debunked for good...

Update: The Ash Ketchum Arc has officially ended, and it ended with "Next Time, A New Beginning". It did not end with Ash dying, but who knows if he will reappear in Pokemon Horizons...
