This will be long but as a longer Pokémon fan I have to say this: When I saw that cycle it truly hit me emotionally. I didn't know that his journey is going to end. I was aware that it wouldn't last forever but like every fan of an awesome journey I felt it was too soon and that saddens me a lot. I loved and still love Ash Ketchum. His adventures on RTL2 were besides other animes my childhood. I tried to watch every episode of it. I loved how they couldn't stand each other but through mutual hardships and protection developed mutual care and respect, becoming fire-forged friends. The kind of bond made for legends. I always loved when Ash and his friends got lost and had an greater adventure than when they walked the right path. I also loved his friends Misty the feisty but sweet, bug hating water-pokemon trainer and the ever-amourous but still levelheaded Rock-trained, Brock (The "rock" which kept them anchored)
Or the times when Ash and Misty frequently and silly quarreled but had their cute shipping moments.(I really ship them and hope they get together) Or Rocks end- and fruitless attempts of flirting but always got hold back Misty or someone else. Talking of Misty my favorite pokemon of hers was Psyduck. It was so hilarious because how it's stupidity enraged Misty even though she shown to care for it and to be fair it had it's fair share of badass moments under headaches. Every episode with in it I laughed my head off🦆=🥴🥴🥴=😂🤣🤣. Another big part of the entertainment was team rocket, consisting of Jessie, James and Meowth, who made it their goal to steal Pikachu either by making simple plans like a hole in the ground or by using a giant robot to be blasted off and with the signature line and spark in the sky. One of my favorite episodes and gym fights was the one with Major Bob. The reason is because it gave the character development through putting the boys in front of a difficult decision: Ash had to decide whether to value his victory or Pikachu's own will. Due to Meowth's translation we learned that Pikachu wants to stay as a Pikachu because it wants to be stronger in it's current format and prove in the name of all Pikachu that it can beat Raichu and "TO BE THE VERY BEST😄🎶. Later after the silver conference I felt bad for Misty because Ash told her in an insensitive manner that she could leave because she got a new bike even though it was obvious that she grew fond of him and traveled with him for another reason. And seeing her cry because of this and then the sentimental and musical flashbacks of their best moments and theme of farewell almost made me cry. After that started the journey to Hoenn and many great characters and groups came but Ash, Misty and Brock will forever and ever be my favorite team. But the seasons, regions and adventures only got better. It was that anime that me love Pokémon, made Pikachu my favorite elektro pokémon and one of my favorite pokemon overall. I'm just sorry because the series reaches its end and I never saw any of the movies because RTL2 stopped showing Pokémon and somehow I missed the entire Alola season and even though I'm intending to make up for it,you can surely imagine it's depressing trying to repeat it while the whole world seen all the glorious moments in the movies or Ash's win in the Alola league. A breakthrough in the franchise. And I was on holiday so I missed the new episodes.
And I was pretty shocked that there's gonna be a sequel where Ash won't be the main protagonist anymore. In my opinion he and Pikachu define the term   "Pokémon anime" and without them and the rest of cast, friends and enemies alike replaced through some newbies... it feels so wrong and heartbreaking especially because I missed so much. I hope that's relatable. 9:14-9:37 Concerning that video It was beautiful and masterly especially the part with the movie flashbacks, the sweet part with Ash and Serena😍 and the message how much he went through character development and no matter who we are and whatever we do we should do our very best😊😊😊😊🤩🤩🤩!!!

What do I need to say that hasn’t been said already? This was a perfect tribute to Ash and his entire journey!

I said this on your discord server, but I think the reason this cypher hit me hard (despite me not watching Pokémon)was because like Ash, I’ll be moving onto a new chapter after I graduate high school in June. So it’s like both me and Ash are saying goodbye to an amazing chapter in our lives!

Can’t wait for the next reaction, you’ll love it!

Great reaction as always Krim
