The End of an Era: A Brand New Pokemon Anime Has Been Announced

Ash finally became the World’s Greatest Trainer last month, and now we’re looking at the final chapter in Ash’s Pokemon Journey.

That’s right, trainers. Our favorite Pokemon Trainer is reaching the end of his journey, and to celebrate his legacy, The Pokemon Company is producing eleven episodes to conclude the Pokemon: The Ultimate Journeys series that features fan-favorite characters and celebrate Ash’s Twenty-Five Year Adventure. The episodes will be set to premiere on January 13th, 2023.
