But as the series moves forward, the makers have decided to give a chance to other characters to lead a new series – Pokémon Horizons.
The longtime companions have been part of this universe since 1997, which means almost two decades. Last year, The Pokémon company announced that soon Ash and Pikachu’s journey will come to an end. The new series named Pokémon Horizons will focus more on the new leading trainers Liko and Roy. It’s also good to see the world of Pokémon bringing to the audience a fresh perspective and some new stories.
