No matter how much time passes, Pokémon fans never seem to get tired of speculating about protagonist Ash Ketchum’s romance.
During the various stages of the anime, various companions go on amazing adventures with Ash Ketchum.
We go back to 1997, the year Pokémon invaded Japanese screens and soon captured the hearts of fans around the world.
Ash Ketchum and Misty
It wasn’t until Serena showed up that it seemed like she was the only person fans could title Ash’s `true love.`

At that time, the fan community was divided between PokéShipping (Ash and Misty) and AmourShipping (Ash and Serena).
While Pokémon may hint at the idea of Ash having a love interest, whether with Melody, Latias/Bianca or even Miette, he himself never lets himself get too caught up in male-female feelings.
The news that Ash will be leaving the Pokémon series has stirred up fans’ `hearts to push the boat` one last time.
The eternal debate about Ash Ketchum’s love may never come to a clear conclusion, but one thing is certain, his heart is above all in his Pokémon adventures.
Serena and Misty will continue to be important pieces in fans’ emotional memories.
