The Pokemon Ultimate Journey’s SDCC trailer
The Pokemon Ultimate Journey’s SDCC trailer showcases the upcoming episodes before Ash's departure from the Anime. Ash Ketchum’s voice actress, Sarah Natochenny, gets emotional at SDCC watching the final Pokemon Ultimate Journeys trailer, which showcases the episodes ahead of the anime’s departure from its long-running storyline. The trailer’s release at SDCC generates anticipation and buzz among Pokemon enthusiasts, but Natochenny’s tears highlight the impact of the character and her connection to the show. Her emotional reaction reflects the end of an era for both the actress and fans of the long-running series, which has been a beacon of childhood adventure for decades.
Natochenny has been the voice of Ash Ketchum since 2016, bringing the iconic character to life for both the English-speaking audience and, through dubbing, millions more around the world. Her tearful reaction reflects not only the deep personal connection between voice actors and the characters they portray, but also the emotional investment fans have in the show and its characters.
Pokemon Ultimate Journeys marks the culmination of Ash’s journey as a Pokemon trainer. His story has spanned over two decades so far – the anime first aired in Japan back in 1997 – and the final episodes are expected to be a significant milestone in the series’ narrative. The show’s ending prompts reflection on the impact Pokemon has had on the fandom and its beloved protagonist.
As the trailer plays, Natochenny remarks, “I can’t believe it’s almost over.” She then adds, “I’m a mess,” as she attempts to hold back tears. The emotional reaction underscores the significance of not only the anime’s ending, but also the impact Ash Ketchum has had on pop culture. His journey has inspired generations of fans, making him an iconic figure in the pantheon of children’s fiction.
If you’re attending SDCC, you can watch the trailer in person at the Pokemon booth (#2415). The event also serves as a platform for fans and industry professionals to come together and celebrate their shared love for Pokemon.
