Takeshi Shudo, head writer of the first three seasons of the Pokémon anime and screenwriter of the first three Pokémon movies, originally wanted a sad ending for the Pokémon franchise. This may come as a surprise since many episodes with Shudo at the helm focused on friendships and growing bonds.
Redditor NAveryW recently translated a blog post that was written only a year before Shudo’s death in 2010 which gave insight on this darker ending. Shudo wanted to finish the show with an elderly Ash Ketchum (Satoshi in the Japanese version) imaging all the Pokémon adventures he went on and going on one last adventure. Every Pokémon adventure he experienced were just figments of his imagination. “Months and years having passed, Satoshi, who has become an old man, suddenly remembers the old days,” states the translated blog. “It is an embellished memory of childhood. A fantasy…The imaginary creatures, Pokémon, and their adventure. Friendship. Coexistence. That is, in the real human world, something Satoshi could not possibly encounter. However, somewhere in childhood, surely Pikachu and the other Pokémon are there, Musashi (Jessie) and Kojiro (James) are there, Mewtwo is there…”
Ending Pokémon on a darker note is not the only interesting idea Shudo had about the franchise. He wrote a blog post about a fourth movie where Pikachu is a revolutionary and frees his kind from captivity and then ends with a battle between Ash and Pikachu. This idea never came into fruition.
What do you think of this proposed ending? What kind of ending would you like to see for the Pokémon anime?

In The Flash episode where Team Flash fought Magenta (Joey King), who the episodes title “Magenta” was named after, Jesse Quick (Violett Beane) showcased super-speed and her father Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) gave her a super-suit of her own. In the following episode titled “The New Rogues,” she wore the Jesse Quick costume when teaming up with The Flash to face Mirror Master (Grey Damon) and Top (Ashley Rickards).
Andy Poon, artist for The CW’s DC Universe, revealed a trio of Jesse Quick costume designs. Each of them slightly differ from the other. Difference include two missing a chest emblem, however it was featured in the final design. Yellow lightning bolts are visible on the sides of the mask for one design. Her collar and mask differ in design.
Based on the characters from DC Comics, The Flash is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (Arrow, Supergirl), Andrew Kreisberg (Arrow, The Flash), Sarah Schechter (Arrow, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) and Aaron and Todd Helbing.
What are your thoughts on the alternate Jesse Quick costume designs? Would you have preferred to see any of them used in the show?
