>>21388461I feel the same as you, and often this season does feel like his last.I never like to get my hopes up much though because this is only the Pokemon anime.
>>21388487I don't know Ash has traveled through several regions now and his understanding of the concept is a bit more noticeable. Considering things such as offering Oshawott to be released if he would like to stay in the island. but I do agree that a lot of those unspoken "status quos" are being broken and also agree that this one is too big. Who knows anon sometimes you can't help yourself but to get your hopes up.
