Pokemon Journeys isn't finishing very as soon as we suspected, and new developments highlight some possibilities for the future.
Until seven days prior, everybody thought the ongoing Pokemon anime series, Journeys, was finishing with Episode 135 - Pokemon! I'm Happy I Met You!!. Pokemon seasons don’t have a decent number of episodes and this was the last one listed in the Japanese television guide. With Ash securing his triumph against Leon in the Master’s Eight and Goh wrapping up his experience with Task Mew, it seemed like the series had reached a characteristic conclusion. What’s more, the title is an unmistakable reference to the absolute first Pokemon episode, driving numerous to speculate that Episode 135 was the finish of Journeys, yet the finish of Ash’s venture too.
But then another episode title out of the blue sprung up. Episode 136 - Ash and Goh! Leave on Another Excursion!! airs this approaching Friday in Japan. At the risk of rehashing the same mistake, I suspect this will be the genuine finale to Journeys. The uncover of that title prompted just as much speculation as the last one, however now that Episode 135 has broadcasted, we have a more clear image of the future of the anime - and some new guesses as to the destiny of Ash and Goh.
Episode 135 is a gathering between Ash, Goh, and Chloe, who have all been on separate adventures yet are currently getting some margin to make up for lost time during a setting up camp excursion. While advancing toward their campsite, the three trainers experience a wide assortment of Pokemon and start to reminisce pretty much all the Pokemon they’ve got and the adventures they’ve been on. Ash thinks back to all the Pokemon he’s released once more into the wild throughout the long term and hopes they’re getting along admirably, while Goh thinks about how all the Pokemon he’s caught and how much he’s developed as a mentor. Similarly, Chloe remembers starting out her Pokemon excursion and feeling unsure of what course her life should take until she met Eevee and everything changed for her. The title becomes exceptionally exacting as the three heroes express their appreciation for all the Pokemon they’ve met along the way.
Aside from getting up to speed with all that that’s occurred since the start of the Master’s Eight, Goh truly needed to meet with Ash so he could let him know that he’s all set off on his own on another experience. While setting up camp, Goh struggles to suggest the topic for dread that Ash will feel double-crossed. At the point when Ash casually tells Goh that he’s really been intending to go off on his own first, Goh himself feels double-crossed. He storms off, and just as Ash catches up with him to attempt to resolve their contention, the pair encounters Lugia and a fight begins.
It’s a decent bookend for the Journeys series, which started with Ash and Goh meeting during an opportunity experience with Lugia. The last episode (I’m sure of it this time) will show the boys cooperating to overcome Lugia previously, I can assume, leaving as friends and going off on their own separate adventures. Despite all the trepidation and speculation that Pokemon was finishing, it seems like things are just going to progress forward as they always have. Ash is made a beeline for Paldea, and he’ll make new friends when he gets there.
Except, we know this isn’t the finish of Goh’s story. Just as of late, Goh’s Japanese voice entertainer said in a meeting that fans can anticipate “Goh’s development in the future.” In the mean time, Ichiro Ishikawa, head of television Tokyo’s Anime Business Division, told journalists in a press gathering that Ash’s adventures aren’t over yet. So assuming the pair are heading out in different directions, how might both of their stories continue?
One possibility is that anime will switch to a split-segment design, with every episode containing two shorter segments that follow Ash and Goh separately. This would be a major change for the series, however it’s not uncommon. Episode 26 of Journeys included the anime’s first multi-segment episode. Both Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! furthermore, Slowking’s Delegated! is one of the season’s best-got (and weirdest) episodes, and keeping in mind that it remains the main segmented episode, it’s possible the series will take this configuration moving forward.
It’s also possible that the following season will substitute storylines in every episode. We’ve known for some time that the movement studio behind the Pokemon series has been struggling to keep up for some time, and an adjustment of the organization like this might assist the studio with restructuring by splitting up the group and the responsibility into two separate, smaller projects. Anything the future might be, it seems like both Ash and Goh will be important for it.
