Hey friends :)
One year ago today, the finale to Ash Ketchum’s 25 year journey, To Be a Pokémon Master, came onto Netflix in English, with the episode “The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!”. And one year ago today I sat in my room in the dark, sobbing, as I watched him and Pikachu defeat Leon in the Masters Eight tournament. He had finally become the very best that ever was.
Last year I set out on a quest to finally watch the entire Pokémon anime after I heard his journey had ended in the Japanese version. It took seven months, but I did it. And today I have for you: a tier list of every opening song from the English dub!
I’ve been working on this video pretty much all year and I had a lot of fun doing it! Revisiting the series is very interesting for me because it brings me back to the stuff that was happening in my life last year. My friends from Twitter might remember me livetweeting the watchthrough, or they muted me, which is fair.
I more or less made this video for the folks who were there for that journey on the (former) bird app but if any of you want to check it out too you’re more than welcome!! I hope you enjoy it if you do :)
