Only 3 weeks later and this video is already outdated lol, PIDGEOT CAME BACK

NGL, I actually cried when Ash let Greninja go, it was a really good episode even after watching the whole series

Iirc Goodra and Greninja aren't technically released, in they first episode of Sun and Moon, ash gave oak 5 pokeballs, which was most likely the Kalos Team pokeballs.

did you know that Lapras is the only character in the entire anime to actually age?

[WorldWideMusic]

the spirit bomb aura sphere is called "kyodai hadodan", in english I think it means "Gigantic Aura Sphere"

[wikiuser]

Lucario's giant Aura Sphere is called "G-Max Aura Sphere".

Pideot actually came back at the end of Pokémon journeys and is now with oak and Ash’s other Pokémon as cool as his new Pokémon are I would have loved if his final battle was with his original six Pokémon pikachu butterfree could come back for one last battle pideot bulbaure chaizard and of course squirtle and apologies for the spelling errors but I’m sure you know what I mean just knowing that it was the last time we were going to see Ash it would have been nice plus it would be cool if Ash was wearing his original outfit just to mark the end

You forgot charizard coming to help against entei

[hoodynoob]

You published this video so soon haha on the latest episode ash did reunited with pidgeot 😂

[OctoLeoYT]

Imagine if in the gen 9 anime the main characters find Ash’s released Pokémon and the girl will be like “OMG THATS MY DAD’S STRONGEST POKÉMON! GRENINJA!!!”

This just dawned on me, these Charizards may have been the first alpha pokemon in the series.

[Eduretame]

What I can say is Professor Oak is very rich having so much land for Ash Pokemon

[alexander]

What pisses me off is that we see ash reuniting with butterfree but we don’t actually get to see them talk.

[babyseal]

It said that greninja is still cutting those roots until this day

[bodycountplays]

Have a soft spot for pidgeot, it was the first pokemon I ever caught and evolved, followed by butterfree, so bummed neither are in scarlet

Charizard made a reunion in Battle Frontier to fight Articuno 🔥

[Golden_Scarab]

Thanks I always wondered what happended with some of these.

This is so freaking funny and weird. I started to stream Pokémon awhile ago and I'm now in the advanced season, where he just caught treeko. And I wanted to google, "How many pokemon has ash caught" and also what happened to them lol

[sonicsega]

u know what they say....if you love someone, let em go. and if they come back, throw them out again.

Also, You missed Solgaleo as it is the official pokemon of Ash confirmed by the Pokemon franchise
