Most of us grew up watching the 'Pokemon' series, singing that theme song and of course, fawning over Pikachu, Ash's adorable electric Pokemon who could give quite a thrashing if he wanted. The Pokeverse is a vast and fertile space, enough for the creators to create more ideas, storylines and Pokemons of course, to keep the fans going for another fifty years at least. Season 23 of the iconic series that defined our childhoods is coming to Netflix, and many fans are eager to know what happens to Ash and Pikachu. Turns out, Ash has a new friend, this time. Well, Ash has had a lot of close friends throughout the series, including Brock, Misty and May, so it will be fun to see what his new friend Goh will bring to the show.
