A new band of Pok?mon adventurers arrivesWith the start of a new*Pokemon*generation comes a new stage in the long-running animated series. And it looks like this time, Ash and Pikachu won't be setting out for the new region full of Pokemon.
A new trailer today shows what's next for the animated*Pokemon*series. It starts by confirming that the final episodes of Pok?mon Ultimate Journeys: The Series*will air over the coming days, specifically the "final chapter" in Ash and Pikachu's story. Looks like a lot of familiar faces will be turning up.

Then, at the end of the trailer, we see some of the Paldea region Pokemon from*Pokemon Scarlet*and*Violet. After a tease of Fuecoco, Quaxley, and Sprigatito, we see the splash art for who we can assume will be the new protagonist of the*Pokemon*animated series.
The trailer description says that viewers will join two new heroes and the three Paldea starter Pokemon, on a journey through the exciting world of*Pokemon. No names for the duo yet.

The champion still remainsAsh and Pikachu recently made real-world headlines (https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63599287) by finally winning the Pokemon World Championship in the animated series, cementing Ash's place as one of the best. Now, it seems like our intrepid and forever-young protagonist is going to set his sights elsewhere, as we pass the torch to a new band of Trainers.
It is bittersweet to see. I certainly haven't followed the animated series closely in some time. But the*Pokemon*series featuring Ash, Pikachu, Brock, and Misty was always on the television as I was growing up. Seeing Ash finally hang up his hat, so to speak, is a big change but probably as overdue as his championship win.
This might get to me tune in for some of the new episodes too, as Paldea is a really cool region with some fascinating history that players dig into near the end of*Pokemon Scarlet*and*Violet. Here's hoping Ash and Pikachu still pop in for a cameo now and then.
