After the March 24th, 2023 airing of the
final
episode of Pocket Monsters: Mezase
Pokémon Master, "The Rainbow and the Pokémon
Master," a lot of the show's cast and crew took to social media to
voice their appreciation for the show that's been a part of their lives
the last 26 years or so. I thought it would be a shame of those
messages got lost to time and so I've archived as many of them as I
could find on this page.
All messages below have been arranged based on the series in which the cast/staff member either started out in or was most active. If you know of any other message from the Japanese version's cast / crew that I'm missing out then please let me know.

journey isn't over...to be continued! #appreciation #ricamatsumoto #satoshi #pikachu #toeveryonecheeringuson" |
March 26th, 21:12 JST: Rica Matsumoto took to Twitter again to post a rather long-ish thread with her thoughts on recording the final episode:
| 人生は、嬉しい方の涙探
し。 みんなからの暖かいメッセージにずっと泣かされっぱなしです。 本当に心からありがとう♪♪♪ まるごと、ぜーんぶ全てに感謝の気持ちで胸がいっぱい。 同時に、まだまだ心の整理がついてないとこも正直いっぱい。。 ↓↓↓ |
"In life,
you need to seek out those tears of happiness. The tears have been streaming down my face all weekend as I read all your warm and wonderful messages. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ♪♪♪ My whole entire chest is filled with alllll the feelings of gratitude for each and every one of you. But at the same time, if I'm being honest, my heart still hasn't come to terms with all of this yet (thread)" |
| 急がず、徐々に雪がとける
ように自然の流れに任せようと思っています。 最終回の収録は、忘れもしません、1月27日でした。 最後のセリフを言わなくてはいけない時、これを口にしたらサトシを表現する事が終わってしまう。 そう思うと胸が詰まって、声が出ませんでした。 「すみません、五分下さい」 |
"I thought
it's better not to rush things, to allow the clouds to part gradually
and let the chips fall wherever they may. I'll never forget the recording session for the final episode. It took place on January 27th of this year. When it came time to deliver my final line, I knew that as soon as I uttered those last words then that would be it; Satoshi wouldn't have anything else left to say. When I realized this I felt a lump in my throat and actually became physically unable to form the words. I stopped and said "I'm sorry, can you give me five minutes?"" |
| スタッフさんたちに無理を
きいてもらいました。 そうして迎えたサトシに命を吹き込む最後のコトダマ。 「ピカチュウ。いつか俺がポケモンマスターになった時、そこにいてくれよな。。よし！ 行こう！」 このメッセージを今まで応援してくれた皆さんに贈ると共に、自分の胸にもしっかりと刻みました。 |
"I asked the
staff to grant this odd request. And then, the time once again came to
breathe
life into Satoshi's final words. "Pikachu, whenever I become a
Pokémon Master, you'll be there by my side, right? Alright then,
let's go!" As the message in those words gets sent out to all of you
who've
been supporting us they're also being etched
into my own heart as well." |
| サトシがみんなの心の中で
ずっといきづいてくれたなら嬉しいです。 これからも松本梨香は、みんなにもらった愛を、お返しできる自分でいられるよう、表現者として全身全霊がんばって精進していくので、どうかみんなにも「そ こ」にいて欲しい。 |
"I'll be
happy if Satoshi continues to live on in the hearts of all of you out
there. Moving forward I, Rica Matsumoto, will devote
everything I have as a performer to becoming someone
capable of returning all the love I've received over the years, and so
I'd like us to all stay in touch somehow." |
| そして、どんなに苦しいこ
とがあっても悲しいことがあっても、すべてを糧にして前を向き、サトシの言葉を胸に「よし！ 行こう！」です！！ 今までもこれからもささえてくれている、すべての方へ… 心からありがとうございます。 |
"And
whenever something sad or difficult happens let's take that energy and
channel it forward, with Satoshi's words "Alright
then, let's go!" springing forth from our hearts. To everyone who's been supporting me, and those who will continue to support me moving forward... I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart." |
| サトシと梨香の 沢山の愛で包まれた旅は 終わらない つづくったらつづく…です。 「みんなの愛ゲットだぜ！！」 サトシこと松本梨香より 愛を込めて |
"Satoshi's
and Rica's journey filled with lots and lots of love is not over. It
will, as
they say at the end of each episode, To be continued! "Everyone, Get Love!" With love, from Satoshi and Rica" |
March 24th, 19:45 JST: Kasumi's voice actor Mayumi Iizuka (飯塚雅弓) weighs in.
| 出逢いがあって。 別れがあって。 再会があって。 いつもいつまでも ずっと変わらず 全てが繋がってる。 また会えた事。ココロからありがとう。 それぞれの場所のみんなへ 想いを込めて。 みんなありがとう✨ またね✨ |
"Sometimes
you meet new people, sometimes you say goodbye, and sometimes you
reunite with old friends. Some things never change, and everything's connected. We got to meet you all again. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. We poured our thoughts out to every one of you, wherever you may be. Thank you everyone ✨ See you later ✨" |
March 24th, 22:25 JST: Musashi's voice actor Megumi Hayashibara (林原めぐみ), who does not have a Twitter account, instead posted about the end of the show on her blog:
|
"The
Rocket-Dan is Forever!
Solemn words of appreciation and teary farewells…those aren't like me, right? So I'll just laugh and say "farewell" and leave it at that. … … … Psyche! There's no way I'd ever end things like that! So, next time on Pocket Monsters, "Musashi's Great Road to Being an Actress." Please look forward to it! ❤ Huh? That's not right? OK then… Next time, "Kojirou's Tear-Filled Path to Becoming a Bottlecap Collector" What? That's not right either? Alright. Next time, "Nyarth! Who Will Get a Spot on the Boss' Lap?" You're kidding, that's not right either? OK, I have a good feeling about this one: Next time, "Sonansu's Wandering, Direct Innermost Secrets." It seems like it's looking for something… Huh? All of those are wrong? No way! What're you talking about!? In that case… Next time, "The Rocket-Dan is Forever!" Let's go with that, OK? So to all of you out there! Whether it's the live TV broadcasts in your hearts, the YouTube streams in your hearts, the Netflix streams in your hearts, the Amazon Prime streams in your hearts, or the other subscription services in your hearts…I hope you continue to replay us in your hearts. And we're sure to see you again someday, somewhere. The memories we can barely keep from overflowing, the indescribable feeling of floating through the air… Our tenacity knows no bounds! And, of course, we're always recruiting for new members!!! LOL" |

| アニメ「ポケットモンス
ター」に登場する悪役、ロケット団のフィギュアのパッケージの写真。写真向かって左に綺麗な赤紫色の超ロン毛の女性ムサシ、右側にオイラが声を任せていた
だいていた、やや薄めの青い髪をセンター分けにし、頬が隠れるくらいの長さにしているコジロウ、二人の間に、体長0.4メールの、まるで人のように仁王立

"This is a photo of a box of action figures made of the Rocket-Dan, a group of villains who appear in the animated series Pocket Monsters. On the left side you'll see Musashi, a woman with beautiful long reddish-purple hair; on the right you'll see Kojirou, the character I voiced who has light blue hair that goes down to his cheeks and is put in a center part; and in the middle of the two, coming in at a height of 0.4 meters, is Nyarth, a cat-like Pokémon who's standing upright just like a human. The Rocket-Dan's Nyarth set itself apart from every other Pokémon by working really really hard to learn to learn to speak human language. I have a feeling these three...people, I guess? have a love for Pokémon deeper than anyone else. That's my personal opinion, anyway. The Rocket-Dan is forever! Thank you all." |
March 26th, 2:06 JST: Nyarth's voice actor Inuko Inuyama (犬山イヌコ) posts her thoughts:

"I just watched the #MezaPokéFinalEpisode, "The
Rainbow and the Pokémon Master." Satoshi's first rival Shigeru
was, at first, a stuck up little brat but at the end of the day he
turned out to be a really great guy and so I'm happy 💖 Thank you to all of you who
helped look after Shigeru all these years 🥲✨ "My goal isn't to be the Champion. I will forever be a challenger" ✊ I'll keep those words etched in my heart." |

To director Yuyama, and all the staff, and cast, thank you for a job well done." |
March 28th, 00:54: Sound director Masafumi Mima (三間雅文) makes another tweet about the series finale:
| 『#めざポケ』制作日記 めざポケの第一話から 最終回に向けて #林ゆうき さんから #宮崎慎二 さんの楽曲へ 意識して選曲してみました♫ めざポケの最終回を観てから 無印のポケモン第一話へと… 旅は終わりの無い 希望の道のりなんだ♪と 湯山&首藤コンビの 子供達の心を豊かに 心から感謝しています |
"#MezaPoké
Production
Diary" From the first episode of MezaPoké to the final one, I purposefully chose to go from using #YuukiHayashi 's score to using #ShinjiMiyazaki 's music ♫ If you look at the final MezaPoké episode and then loop back around to that first episode of the 1997 series...well, you can really feel as if you always have somewhere to go on a road filled with hope ♪ I'd like to thank the duo of Yuyama and Shudo from my heart for ensuring that the children's hearts are always full." |
The sound director also changed his profile picture to an image of the flower arrangement placed in the lobby at The Rocket-Dan's Secret Live back in 2013.
March 24th, 22:03 JST: Music producer for the Pocket Monsters animated series, Hirokazu Tanaka (たなかひろかず):
| 最後はタイプ:ワイルド
🎵でしたね🙂 この曲、最初のメロは早口風にしたいので、言葉多めに、と戸田さんにお願いした。全体にロードムービー風に、と間奏は緩急つけた展開に。イントロの「風と いっしょに」のメロは戸田さんからのリクエスト。続くギターは絶対12弦のエレキギター🎸ときめてた。 |
"They
played Type: Wild at the end of tonight's episode 🙂 For this song, Mr. (Akihito) Toda asked me to pack in a bunch of words in the beginning to make that opening melody feel like a tongue twister almost. We made it like a road trip movie, where there's an interlude and then it goes full throttle. Having the opening melody be the same as Kaze to Issho ni was also a request from Mr. Toda. I'm certain we must have chosen a twelve string electric guitar to use in this song." |
March 24th, 19:25 JST: Screenplay writer Hideki Sonoda (園田英樹) had this to say:
| サトシとピカチュウ、あり

you, Satoshi-kun
Satoshi-kun, thank you for the past 26 years. I first met Satoshi when I was a kid during that very first series, and ever since then I could count on him and his friends to be there whenever I turned on the TV. It felt like we'd always be on a journey together, but in the space of one night that feeling's disappeared... But! I feel like Satoshi-kun's and everyone else's journeys will keep on going.

met you when I was in elementary school. You were a little younger than
me, but we became friends as I watched your adventures each and every

last night's episode of Pokémon
and the back part of my eyes have been unbelievably hot all morning. As
I watched those amazing 20 minutes or so the memories of when I was a
kid all came flooding back. But being able to actually go to that legendary studio and work alongside all those wonderful people back then will always be an irreplacable treasure to me. Everyone, you did a really, really great job. I'll be cheering on the new series as well." |
