The meme known to Internet users that the anime’s protagonist, Ash Ketchum, would never win a Pokémon League, was discarded on September 16, 2019, shortly before the pandemic, because during that season, the protagonist achieved the unthinkable: being crowned after of more than 20 years of emission.
However, what he achieved during that season did not answer one of the world’s main questions pokemon and fandom: what is a Pokémon master?
