He showed up in X & Y in the final arc, as well as in the Mega Evolution prelude specials :)

The biggest suspension of disbelief is that Ash's Pikachu can go toe-to-toe with every Pokemon ever.

Charizard is the final boss of Pokemon
Did you skip episode 00001 of the anime?

Imagine giving the best color to Diantha in that sequence with Pikachu. I feel personally attacked.
Also, god Leon's ace being Charizard sucks so much. Now they have the two mascots of Pokemon facing off I guess. Can't wait for the next champion to have a pikachu with whatever regional gimmick Scarlet and Violet has.

Pikachu constant fluctuation in power level is hilarious. One season, it's going against legendaries and kicking all kinds of ass, then the next season, it get bodied by a Magikarp.
When was the last time this happened though? Pikachu has been a consistent powerhouse since XY at least
Two questions:
When does this arc starts?
Are previous episodes necessary to watch? I've only barely kept up because of what a friend posts online but haven't actively watched Journeys

No date for when the first Master 8 Battle is but they typically start in July/August for tournaments
Na they're not necessary but you may lose some of the buildup if they finally overcome something
Nope last time was gen v and we don't talk about gen v anime
Alright, will probably catch some previous stuff just in case then. It's cool that the arc could air during this years World's in London (Finally! just in time to say goodbye to Gen 8)
Beats me, I don't keep up with the show. Last time I watched was in DP. I just remember hearing about that and having Pikachu magically reset back in the Advanced and DP days as well. I don't remember if Pikachu reset during the Johto years though.
Gen 5's league is still the worst one for the sheer disrespect.
Yeah I'm so psyched for Worlds this year.
The Leagues do tend to go on during that. I remember the Kalos League final was weekend of Worlds 2016 and the semi finals of the Alola League began the same weekend of Worlds 2019
It never really was. It was just ill when it went into Hoenn, but its power was never reset
It's literally only happened "once" and even then that was just for one episode then Pikachu went back to being Pikachu. People overblow that statement so much. In the BW saga, it got hit by Zekrom and couldn't use its electric moves, so got defeated by a Snivy (and this isn't the games so level is irrelevant)
Yeah it hasn't happened in a really long time. Not since the black and white series days.
2016 was so hype. Kalos League became mainstream, Pokemon Go launched, 20th anniversary with Alola soon to launch, the return of the Restricted meta in VGC with Wolfe getting that win. Good stuff, good stuff.
Looking forward to this year's Pokemon mood.
I don't mean "reset" in a literal term. More like Pikachu losing to newbie trainers and Pokémon that it has no right losing to considering its battle experience. I remember that happening in DP too, though I also remember that Paul was also an experienced trainer from another region, so that offset him losing his rival all the time at least.
Who knows, I could be mistaken. It's been like 15 years since I watched the anime after all. You'd know more that I would.
I remember somewhere it being said that a full team was necessary to compete but I can't find it now.
In Sinnoh Ash gets eliminated by some dude with a team of legendaries because the writers literally needed some deus ex machina to make Ash lose. Next time around they do it by making him so incompetent some kid without a complete team does it. Never thought that pokemon would disrespect its own protagonist on that level.
I wish, I'm not anywhere near London lol And also haven't been active in the VGC scene since 2018. Shit's so competitive anyway, it's pretty hard for latin americans to qualify with all the travel one has to do. Will be watching it as always tho!
I know some who don't post in the journeys OT were asking about when this started properly and we just got these titles today:
JN114 (Jun 10) "Special training: Battle of Flames! Satoshi vs Shinji!!"
JN115 (Jun 17) "Opening! Masters Tournament!!"
No idea when the battles proper start

I haven't watched Pokemon seriously in decades but isn't he a Pokemon Professor now? Why would he be in a trainer tournament?
Yeah he became a researcher. That's why while he actually did come back and continues to have a signficant role for Journeys, it's as Go's rival for the project Mew stuff, not Ash's, because he already decided to go in a different direction and rather than undo his character development they brought him back in a capacity that allows him to be around but focuses on continuing the direction he was already going in
Because Ash already thrashed him with Charizard back in the Johto League.
He got cooked by an inexperienced ash and a charizard vs his blastoise. Turned that man into a professor

Yepp, i do wonder what the fights will be. I am guessing it's the standard 8 person tourtement
good thing the cartoon doesn't follow game logic, otherwise Cynthia gimped her Garchomp
We are getting Iris-Haxorus, a new Battle Bond form. (lol).
I read some comments that they are giving Iris a Charizard-Y and that was really funny to me.
