The Pokémon fandom got quite a shock just weeks ago when it was revealed Ash and Pikachu’s journey would be coming to an end after 25 years.

Ash Ketchum’s current VA, Sara Natochenny, ha already shared a brief message on Twitter mentioning how it’s been an “extraordinary privilege” to voice the character for 17 years, and she’s now elaborated on this in a separate post on Instagram:

“It’s been an extraordinary privilege to have been the English voice of Ash Ketchum for what will be 17 years. Non importa cosa c'è oltre il suo capitolo finale, vivrà per sempre nei cuori di molte generazioni a venire. Lo terrò presente per tutti noi in ogni modo possibile.

“Cenere & Pikachu: the very best, like no one ever was. Forever grateful to Pokémon, Hilary, Toshi, Andy, Lisa, Nick, Giorgio, Fran, Iyuno, directors of the past, & my fellow cast & crew mates over the years. 17 years is a long time to be playing a 10 year old. To our fans…thank you from the bottom of my heart. Catch you in the wild! Love, Sarah Natochenny.”

Poche settimane fa, Ash’s original voice actor Veronica Taylor also thanked fans for following the character’s incredible journey.

The final chapter in Ash and Pikachu’s story will begin early next year in January – with a special 11-episode run. It will be followed by a brand new Pokémon anime series – in anteprima in Giappone ad aprile 2023 – e interpretato da due nuovi protagonisti.
