POKÉMON HORIZONS: THE SERIES Gets a New Trailer
The Pokémon anime as fans know it over the last 25 years is coming to an end. Ash and Pikachu are retiring from the show with the end of Pokémon Journeys: The Series. The next Pokémon anime has been teased for a while now, but we now have the official name and a trailer. Pokémon Horizons: The Series will premiere in 2023 around the world and looks fun. We’ll follow dual protagonists Liko with their Sprigatito and Roy as they journey across the Pokémon world. They’ll find friends in Friede and Captain Pikachu and their group the Rising Volt Tacklers, Amethio and his partner Ceruledge, video streamer Nidothing, and more.
In “Pokémon Horizons: The Series,” dual protagonists Liko, whose partner Pokémon is Sprigatito, and Roy will encounter many characters during their journey, including a group led by Friede and Captain Pikachu called the Rising Volt Tacklers. Traveling across the Pokémon world on an airship, the Rising Volt Tacklers include Orla, who enjoys mechanical and electrical work and is accompanied by her partner Pokémon, Metagross; Murdock, who is skilled at cooking, and his partner Pokémon, Rockruff; Mollie, who specializes in healing treatments, and her partner Pokémon, Chansey; and Ludlow. Liko and Roy will also come across Amethio, who is joined by his partner Pokémon, Ceruledge, and belongs to an organization called the Explorers, as well as a popular video streamer known as Nidothing.
The trailer looks pretty good and it seems like there’s more of an end in sight since the story seems to be connected to Liko’s pendant. The animation also looks a bit more intense in some areas like Amethio’s actions and the like. I’ll probably check it out when it launches. Talking about Pokémon Horizons, Taito Okiura of The Pokémon Company International said:
‘Pokémon Horizons: The Series’ is set to be a thrilling journey that explores new wonders and makes fascinating discoveries about the Pokémon world. The latest ‘Pokémon Horizons: The Series’ trailer sheds further light on the mysterious adventures that await Liko and Roy, and we invite Trainers to join in unraveling these secrets when the series begins premiering outside of Japan later this year.
Are you excited to watch Liko’s and Roy’s journeys later this year?
