There are long-running video game franchises, and then there's "Pokémon." Nintendo's franchise became a global sensation, and the fandom hasn't slowed down or diminished over the decades. In fact, there was even a live-action series in development. The anime adaptation has also remained super popular, and after all the years on the small and silver screens, the hero Ash Ketchum finally did it. "Pokémon’s" hero became the very best trainer (like no one ever was), and fans are freaking out online.

A new season of "Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series" is currently airing in Japan, and has definitely thrilled the generations of fans out there. Namely because various Champions of Pokémon Leagues are engaging in epic battles at the Masters Eight Tournament of the Pokémon World Coronation Series. And after all these years, protagonist Ash Ketchum finally became a true Pokémon Master, winning and being the champion of champions.
