And yes, this statement is really pretentious, considering that Pikachu has been the undisputed icon of Pokémon for over 25 years, so it will be almost impossible to replace.. However, as Game Rant’s colleagues commented, the new anime that will be released in the coming months may seek to give a greater role to one of the new Pokémon that has made its debut in the Paldea region. Specifically, we are talking about Sprigatito, the plant-type starter of the ninth generationwhich aims to be the companion of the new protagonist.
In fact, his alleged relationship with Ash KetchumLet’s remember that the most widespread theory is that it will be his daughter, he could form a new pairing that gives this young woman and her Sprigatito a similar role the one who has been seen all this time with the 10-year-old boy who never grows up and his Pikachu. Finally in this sense, the official description of the evolutionary line of Sprigatito suggests that they are very emotional Pokémonwhich would fit perfectly with the perception of the protagonist Pokémon companion that we have seen so far.
