The series going forward will feature two new protagonists, whose Japanese names (which may change in the English versions) are Liko and Roy, and who will sport the Paldea region\u2019s starters from \u201cPok\u00e9mon Scarlet\u201d and \u201cPok\u00e9mon Violet\u201d \u2014 Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The change is set to occur for Japanese viewers in 2023 following an 11-episode arc chronicling the \u201cfinal chapter in Ash and Pikachu\u2019s story,\u201d according to the trailer. These episodes will feature the return of fan-favorite characters from throughout the series, including Gary Oak, Misty and Brock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"An All-New Pok\u00e9mon Series Is Coming\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7_VMGv2kKEI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">This passing of the torch comes after Ash, perplexingly still a 10-year-old in the show despite its 25-year run, finally won his first Pok\u00e9mon championship, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cm-7F3lOsCw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">becoming the Pok\u00e9mon World Champ<\/a> after defeating the Galar region\u2019s champion Leon from \u201cPok\u00e9mon Sword\u201d and \u201cPok\u00e9mon Shield.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Ash\u2019s journey throughout the anime has been to try to become a world champion \u2014 to be the best like no one ever was, if you will \u2014 and now that he\u2019s finally achieved it, it makes sense for the series to try to move on to other characters and other stories \u2026 or does it? Below are our burning questions for the new season, and the Pok\u00e9mon IP as a whole, following this groundbreaking announcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<h5 data-qa=\"article-header\" class=\" pb-sm pt-lgmod\" id=\"7PYM5YUA2REQBGFBP5FZ6BT33M\">\n<p>Is this an attempt to get more viewership, 25 seasons later?<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">There\u2019s no obvious answer to this question, particularly because the show\u2019s decades-long run across both cable and a bevy of streaming services make it difficult to accurately gauge viewership on a season-by-season basis. People simply consumed television content differently in the \u201990s than they do nowadays. But we <i>can <\/i>look at fan ratings to determine overall enjoyment of the series, and draw some simple conclusions from there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Ratingraph is a website where fans rate their favorite movies and television episodes on a scale of one to 10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratingraph.com\/tv-shows\/pokmon-ratings-7784\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using this<\/a>, we can determine which seasons resonated most with fans of the show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Two things immediately jump out when looking at these results. One: The first few seasons of the show were easily its most critically acclaimed. Two: Fans really enjoyed Season 18-20, where there was a noticeable spike in ratings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Why is this? Well, during those seasons, which took place in \u201cPok\u00e9mon X\u201d and \u201cPok\u00e9mon Y\u2019s\u201d Kalos region, Ash was winning. A <i>lot<\/i>. In fact, Ash came the closest he\u2019s ever come to winning a Pok\u00e9mon championship up to that point, coming in second place to Alain despite having the BAMF team that included two fully evolved Dragon types and a Greninja with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a-LgVJ77Gic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ash-specific mega-evolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">It\u2019s safe to say that fans enjoy watching the little underdog win. It is important to note, though, that the latest season, Season 25, has some of the lowest-rated episodes of the entire series, according to Ratingraph. So while a shake-up to the formula in response to these low ratings is conceivable, the fact is that fans resonate most with watching Ash win, meaning there\u2019s no way to tell if that was truly the reason for the main character shake-up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<h5 data-qa=\"article-header\" class=\" pb-sm pt-lgmod\" id=\"C76KO3ZHS5HYNHEYQ53MJDQJO4\">\n<p>Moving away from any IP\u2019s main character, much less that of a cartoon, is bold, but is it wise?<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">During the Dragonball franchise\u2019s incredible run, the show has frequently toyed with the idea of moving on from its main character Goku. Since 1993, when Gohan, Goku\u2019s son, achieved Super Saiyan 2 form <i>before <\/i>Goku to defeat Cell during the Cell Games Saga, Toei Animation tried to set up a passing-of-the-torch moment, even killing off Goku and presenting a scene that seemed to indicate Gohan was Earth\u2019s new main protector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">However, Toei Animation recognized how popular Goku was among fans, so they pulled the old series trick of reviving dead characters on Goku once more to have him star in the leading role again for the series going forward. Fans\u2019 desires and expectations, especially for shows catered to younger audiences, is extremely important to a company\u2019s bottom line. Look at the incredible run of \u201cSpongeBob SquarePants,\u201d which by the way, is <a href=\"https:\/\/movieweb.com\/spongebob-squarepants-season-14-renewed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">still creating episodes for Nickelodeon<\/a>, two decades later. While a Patrick Star spinoff is simultaneously being created, nothing seems to be slowing down the titular sponge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">For the Pok\u00e9mon Company to consider moving on from Ash must be big. Is it simply because his storyline is complete? Will they backtrack similarly to how Toei Animation did? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<h5 data-qa=\"article-header\" class=\" pb-sm pt-lgmod\" id=\"7C3V44UJ6RAIRAUV3OSF43QJBM\">\n<p>Is Team Rocket blasting off for good?<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Jesse, James and Meowth are just as iconic characters as Ash and Pikachu. The blabbering villainous trio and their schemes never did succeed in catching Pikachu, and they sometimes even helped the protagonists and received fully realized character arcs of their own. More importantly, they are the only characters besides Ash and Pikachu to return season after season, constantly being a driving force for several episodes\u2019s plots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The Pok\u00e9mon Company\u2019s announcement makes no mention of the trio and their fates going forward, but their motivation is entirely linked to trying to capture Ash\u2019s Pikachu after witnessing its raw power in the very first episode of the series. Without that motivation, is there any reason for them to return, other than how incredibly iconic and fun they are to watch?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<h5 data-qa=\"article-header\" class=\" pb-sm pt-lgmod\" id=\"IG5YJ2KGIJEV5IVPJL2XAIRQBI\">\n<p>Does the Pok\u00e9mon Company feel they don\u2019t need a \u2018mascot Pok\u00e9mon\u2019 anymore?<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">While several fans might feel slighted by Ash\u2019s exclusion in the series going forward, the far more revealing exclusion lies in Pikachu. Pikachu is easily the most iconic Pok\u00e9mon of all time, and Nintendo and the Pok\u00e9mon Company have heavily leaned into it as their mascot through<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XxG03AQjUek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> several avenues<\/a>. In fact, the Pok\u00e9mon Company at one point felt that having a dedicated mascot for the franchise was <i>so <\/i>important that they needed it to become a duopoly. This is most evident by their push to make Eevee a co-mascot via the \u201cLet\u2019s Go Pikachu\u201d and \u201cLet\u2019s Go Eevee\u201d games. Some fans believe the thought process was that Eevee might be a counterpart that young girls could connect with more, as Pikachu represented more traits that young boys would connect with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">But the decision to exclude Pikachu the next season of Pok\u00e9mon seems like a backpedal on this philosophy. If Pikachu\u2019s not there, who\u2019s going to take the mantle as the recognizable Pok\u00e9mon fans will connect with? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/video-games\/reviews\/pokemon-scarlet-violet-review\/?itid=lk_inline_manual_34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The designs of the starting three Pok\u00e9mon of the Paldea<\/a> region are among the better qualities of \u201cScarlet\u201d and \u201cViolet,\u201d but are they really good enough to fill the Pikachu-sized mantle?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<h5 data-qa=\"article-header\" class=\" pb-sm pt-lgmod\" id=\"HAMC42YOURHMFHP3ZN7ORSWHNA\">\n<p>Will lazy Pok\u00e9mon trainer designs continue?<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">One trend I absolutely despise with the Pok\u00e9mon series is how lazy it\u2019s gotten with the trainer designs. This is a trend that started since \u201cSun\u201d and \u201cMoon\u201d introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/NRerdkJSl9Q1TDwlC0WKWrgMzmQ=\/1400x0\/filters:no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/7302197\/w966dvtvk6sx.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ultra Beasts that look eerily similar to their trainer counterparts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cScarlet\u201d and \u201cViolet\u201d continues this trend. One of the main characters, <a href=\"https:\/\/bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net\/wiki\/Arven\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arven<\/a>, has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serebii.net\/pokedex-sv\/mabosstiff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mabosstiff<\/a> that plays a central role in his quests. He also shares a color scheme, clothing and physical traits that make him look like the human equivalent of the Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Now, with the released promo image of the Ash-and-Pikachu-less season, it seems like this trend is continuing. The female trainer retains the color scheme and looks of Quaxly, right down to the hair flip on the left side of both their heads matching. The male trainer is obviously the Fuecoco equivalent, sporting Fuecoco\u2019s color scheme and emulated tuft of hair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Pok\u00e9mon trainers are most interesting when their designs aren\u2019t one-to-one clones of the Pok\u00e9mon they use. The more nuance a character can show in their designs, the better. Look no further than Ash and Pikachu as inspiration. Is Ash the human equivalent of Pikachu? Absolutely not. And that\u2019s a key factor to what makes their relationship so dynamic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<h5 data-qa=\"article-header\" class=\" pb-sm pt-lgmod\" id=\"622U57L3DNDKTCDEFGUYOUIBNQ\">\n<p>Should we have seen this coming?<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Pok\u00e9mon has never been shy about saying goodbye to beloved characters, even all the way back to Season 1\u2019s \u201cBye Bye Butterfree,\u201d where Ash let go of the first Pok\u00e9mon he ever caught. The episode ranks as one of the series\u2019s most beloved, and it\u2019s a frequent contender for best episode of all time due to the emotionally resonant storyline found within an anime primarily geared toward children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Also, season by season, the show cycles out Ash\u2019s travel companions for new ones. The final episodes of seasons are usually tearful goodbyes as Ash moves on from the people who made his journey in the region special to find new experiences in the next region.
