🌟 Bring Back Ash Ketchum & Serena as the Main Protagonists — in a New Long-Running Pokémon Anime Series! 🌟
A Global Fan Petition from Lifelong Pokémon Lovers
For over two decades, Ash Ketchum has been the heart of the Pokémon anime.
His courage, his growth, his friendships, and his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master shaped an entire generation.
And in the beloved XY/XYZ era, millions of fans connected deeply with Serena — her kindness, determination, and emotional bond with Ash created one of the most meaningful relationships in the entire franchise.
When Ash’s journey ended, it felt like saying goodbye to a childhood friend.
Many fans respected the change, but the emptiness has never faded.
And now, as long-time Pokémon fans, we are raising our voices together to ask for something clear, heartfelt, and hopeful:
✨ We Want a New Long-Running Pokémon Anime Series Featuring an Older Ash Ketchum and Serena as the Main Protagonists
Not a short arc.
Not a cameo.
Not a special.
A full long-term anime series.
A series where:
✓ Ash is older — a teenager or young adult
Still passionate, wiser, and moving forward toward his true destiny as a Pokémon Master.
✓ Serena is older — a rising star in Contests and Showcases
Confident, growing, and with her dreams shining brighter than ever.
✓ Both share the spotlight as the main leads
Partners in adventure, partners in growth, and companions whose connection resonated with fans worldwide.
✓ The tone matches the emotional depth of XYZ
High-quality animation, powerful character arcs, intense battles, and rich storytelling.
💛 Why This Means So Much to Us
Ash is more than a character — he is a symbol of our childhood.
We watched him grow for years. We laughed with him, cried with him, and learned from him.
Serena is one of the most inspirational companions ever written.
Her development, passion, and relationship with Ash left an impact no fan can forget.
The XYZ era was peak Pokémon storytelling.
Fans still talk about it today — the animation, the pacing, the emotion, the battles, the character chemistry.
We don’t want the past simply repeated.
We want it continued — on a deeper, more mature level.
🔥 Why a Long-Running Series Is Important
A short special or cameo is not enough.
A one-time project cannot explore:
• Ash’s real growth into a Pokémon Master
• Serena’s full journey as a top Performer
• Their evolving emotional connection
• New regions, rivals, arcs, and challenges
• Long-term storytelling and worldbuilding
Fans around the world want to follow them again — not for an episode,
but for years, the same way we once did.
This is a franchise built on journeys.
And both their journeys still feel beautifully unfinished.
💫 A Heartfelt Request, Not a Demand
This petition isn’t about rejecting new characters or new direction.
It’s about celebrating what Pokémon built for 26 years —
and asking for one more legendary chapter with the heroes who defined our childhood.
We write this with love, respect, hope, and unshakeable passion.
We want to see Ash and Serena return.
We want to see them older, stronger, and wiser.
We want to see their dreams unfold side by side.
We want a long-running anime series that honors everything they’ve become.
