Was Ash Ketchum's exit from the Pokemon Anime Justfied?

 The answer to that question would be no.

Ash Ketchum is someone who entertained the fans worldwide for more than 2 and a half decades.

Beating Leon wasn't Ash's ultimate goal. It's a goal that was made during the start of the series "Pokémon Journeys."

Ash Ketchum had a lot to offer. Fans would have to see the ultimate ending. That ultimate ending would be becoming the Pokémon Master he always dreamed of. Doing that in the biggest of stages. After conquering everything, settling down, having a family of his own. The next generation takes over and continues their legacy and journeys. That would have the best possible exit from the anime for Ash Ketchum. 

Giving Ash Ketchum another series to wrap things up would have been ideal. But some things are just not meant to be. In 2023, Pokémon Horizons introduced characters like Liko and Roy. It's a decent show, but it can't compete with what Ash Ketchum built for a long time. The fans at least deserve to know what Ash Ketchum is doing or what's next for him. Cutting him off entirely was not on. Like starting a manga based on Ash Ketchum's journey after his exit from anime. What's he doing? What are his challenges? I mean, the fans deserve that much. A weekly or Long monthly manga chapter would have done the job. 

But it didn't happen. Absolutely nothing. People will remember Ash Ketchum as long as they live. Just the fact that the Pokémon Company should have handled it better. For example, Like Goku is handled in Dragon Ball, Naruto from Naruto or Luffy from One Piece.

A grown-up Ash Ketchum, who does he end up with? Did he become a Pokémon Master?

Some questions remained unanswered.

Let me know your thoughts on it.
