They've been in the show now for a while... Dawn and Piplup I mean... I wonder why they chose them, though? :/ I think they were traveling around with Ash and them at first. I dunno.
TIMES ARE A-CHANGIN'

Yeah, I know.
They choose the two of them because the season she appeared, her and piplup became ridiculously popular in the market or something. It started beating Pikachu in sales and all that Jazz, so they decided to make Dawn the new lead and Piplup the new mascot to keep the series going...
I mean, it's understandable after like... 700 episodes of Ash and Pikachu. I really don't care that much, but it was still weird to hear! Ash and Pikachu were my childhood LMAO!

Weird to hear this, because I recently just found my old Yellow version...xD
Honestly, I thought Pokemon kinda died after...what, 300 Pokemon? xD It doesn't really matter anyway...though I am curious as to what they're going to do with them...
Make him a Gym Leader? Have him quit his journey and go home? Claim they "moved to a farm up state" (shot them)? Or just have them walk into the sunset together?
OR...are they still going to be apart of the show, but simply not the "lead" anymore--just more like tag-alongs?
Regardless of what they do, Ash and Pikachu will always be icons. They're the reason I got excited about Pokemon in the first place. I remember how I used to pretend I was Ash Ketchum, then take my Pikachu doll to battle the bugs in my backyard. xD No way those guys will be forgotten.

This whole topic is depressing me wholeheartedly. I've now started rewatching all the original episodes of Pokemon to remind myself of all the awesomeness. James voice is super deep in all the first episodes, haha.  |
