The “final chapter of Ash and Pikachu’s story” is starting, and after it’s done the Pokémon anime is getting two new protagonists.
Twitter user’s search for the mystery person behind the gift leads them to the original background artist 20 years later.
22 years of hard work are finally rewarded, prompting fan art celebrations and a special message from Ash’s voice actress.
Episode featuring Ash disguising himself as a Passimian is missing from Disney broadcast lineup.
Pokémon’s leading man transforms yet again for new film with animation production from the studio behind Attack on Titan.
Pudgy Pokémon Trainer and his cuddly pal casually pull off mind-blowing feats of strength in new Pokémon Sun and Moon episode.
But the question of whether this piece of anime merchandise is actually a piece of tail is a matter of perspective.
Long-awaited reunion between the Pokémon anime’s original trio of friends is finally happening.
Pokémon’s leading man has gone through plenty of changes in his two decades of screen time.
It’s not like Pikachu really needed to be any cuter, but he’s gotten an adorableness upgrade anyway.
It looks like all that time hitting the books has made the would-be Pokémon Master weak and flabby.
