Earlier today, The Pok\u00e9mon Company confirmed that long-time anime protagonist Ash Ketchum would be stepping back from the series after 25 years<\/a>. In January 2023, one final run of episodes – called Pok\u00e9mon – Aim to be a Pok\u00e9mon Master<\/strong> – will mark the final chapter for Ash and his companion Pikachu.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the news, Sarah Natochenny – who has provided the English voiceover for Ash since 2006 – has taken to Twitter to share a message reflecting on her time with the franchise and what the character means to her.<\/p>\n
