Pokemon Ultimate Journeys to Drop New Netflix Episodes Soon

This year has been a busy one for Pokemon, and it looks like things are only going to get hotter for the franchise. With the Paldea region on everyone's mind, netizens are keeping up with Generation 9 all while tracking Ash Ketchum's every move. After all, The Pokemon Company announced the character is exiting the anime after more than 20. years, and a miniseries has gone live in Japan to bid Ash farewell. And now, fans in the United States have learned a new bunch of Pokemon Ultimate Journeys episodes are heading their way soon!

The update comes from Netflix itself, so we can thank the streaming service for the good news. The big announcement let fans know more episodes of Pokemon Ultimate Journeys: The Series will drop on February 24th. So if you are keeping up with the anime's English dub, you should mark this day in your calendar!

Of course, fans are eager to see this new episode batch as Pokemon Journeys has yet to end stateside. The dub is still working through Ash and Goh's adventures, after all. Over in Japan, the series closed a couple of weeks back after Ash was crowned the winner of the Pokemon World Championships. Now, the trainer is doing a victory tour, and the anime's latest series will mark Ash's final role. Of course, fans are hopeful the star will show up in Pokemon's next series, but his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master is ready to come true. And once he crosses that finish line, a new trainer will come around with a goal of their own. 

After all, The Pokemon Company confirmed the anime is preparing to move on to a new protagonist. Ash is currently taking his final laps on screen, and he will be replaced by two new trainers in the next Pokemon anime. But first, Netflix needs to catch up fans with the anime stateside with its next episode bomb.
