Ash Ketchum Takes Over Shinjuku Station to Celebrate the End to His Pokémon Anime Journey
Ash and Pikachu’s 26 year Pokémon anime journey comes to an end later this month and to celebrate all of his achievements throughout his one-year (in anime) career, the top Pokémon trainer has taken over the main screen at JR Shinjuku Station, the busiest train station in the world.
The video will be shown until March 19 but for those unable to make it out to Shinjuku to see it, the official Pokémon Twitter account has shown the video off in a Tweet.
