>>53509968>Ash never needed special Pendant to carry his show, his character itself was enoughWhat a denial of coping lmao. Even back then critics were aware that his character itself couldn't carry shit past OS and Johto. MPM probably was a scrapped pitch idea from years ago, which got pulled out of the closet with some adjustments to fit in all the pokemon Ash caught over the years, and that's the epilogue.
Ash finally got the plug pulled after too long with ending things after the highest note possible, of him becoming the world champion.
Ash's vague persuation of "next step towards a pokemon master" was a very weak narrative plot device to keep his dried up existence up. Same goes for the pendant. once it's solved, Liko either moves on to something steady like joining that crew, becoming a pokemon trainer to compete or something else.
Kys, Famon. It's fucking over and Ash is done.
