In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, posted by user angelinasvoice, a bowler dressed in another example of a wonderfulPokemonoutfit is shown tossing hisPoke Ballbowling ball in an attempt to knock down the final two pins for a spare. In fact, the TikTok has hit over 700,000 views and over 57,000 likes. Paired with thePokemontheme music playing, fans of the franchise quickly flocked in to show their admiration towards the bowling ball and the young man’s wonderful outfit. “I don’t even bowl, but I need one just in case I ever do lol,” said one commenter, as many others shared similar sentiments towards wanting this item despite not partaking in the sport.
Perhaps this is the next chapter in Ask Ketchum’s journey after retiring from the adventure of Pokemon catching and battling. Following the conclusion ofPokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series, it was announced that the beloved protagonist of thePokemonfranchise for 25 years would be hanging up his hat after becoming the world’s greatest trainer.The announcement of Ash Ketchum’s retirementcaught thePokemonworld by storm, with many stampeding to social media to voice their gratefulness towards voice actors Rica Matsumoto and Sarah Natochenny, who were the voice of Ash Ketchum in the Japanese and English dubs, respectively.
Art pieces involving the traditional Poke Ball aren’t a new trend, as many artists have included the familiar spherical item. One fan captured the essence of the Poke Ball magic by creatinga Poke Ball pendant with a Gengar inside, which can also be purchased from the artist’s Instagram. While this bowler didn’t manage to pick up his spare, perhaps next time he’ll consider turning his cap backward in order to be taken seriously.Pokemonfans all know that when Ash performed his signature hat flip, his opponents took him more seriously.
