The Pokemon Anime Said Goodbye to Misty 23 Years Ago

It’s hard to believe, but the original Pokémon anime is almost 30 years old, having first aired in 1997. Ash Ketchum remained a ten-year-old throughout the series, and his adventures lasted 26 years before the character stepped down as the main protagonist. However, unexpected changes to the show’s characters have happened many times over the years.
