Liko is a Paldean girl enrolled at Sekiei Academy, a boarding school in the Kanto region. She's delighted to receive her first Pokémon Nyahoja, but Nyahoja doesn't listen to her at all, and she struggles to bond with it... Meanwhile, a suspicious group of people show up in search of her, wanting the mysterious pendant she has.

Kotaro Koizumi, Hikaru Takahashi and Kanade (from 3ji no Heroine) will all appear as voice actors in episode 1 on Friday April 14th.

We've received the following comment from Koizumi, who will be playing the role of Liko's homeroom teacher:
I'm Kotaro Koizumi, and this time I'll be playing the role of the protagonist Liko's homeroom teacher in the Pocket Monsters anime.
When I was first approached about this role I was so honored I couldn't believe my ears, and I immediately accepted.
Of course the actual protagonists of the show are the children, but I hope you'll look forward to seeing what kind of role the teacher I play will have in the procedings as well.
-Kotaro Koizumi, the voice of Liko's homeroom teacher

An upcoming episode of Pokédoko will feature a close look at Takahashi and Kanade's recording sessions, so look forward to that as well!

See I knew Sprigatito didn't look happy with Liko in the trailer earlier lol.

I'm honestly hyped for this, I hate that we have to wait two weeks though :(...

I'm curious about the plot that is forming here.

In the trailer, Liko's pendant (tera crystal) is able Terastalize that shiny Rayquaza, and yet the characters are talking about Liko's pendant as something mysterious. Is Terastal a yet undiscovered phenomenon in PM2023?

That Rayquaza... Guess terastalizing will be CGI after all? I used to doubt that
It really looked like so at least

Yeah not gonna make much difference when they are gonna be on that airship anyway. But i really do wish we could've gone back to just exploring a single new region. I have already seen enough of the others to last for a life time, especially Kanto.

Oh well, maybe the next one...

They have this potential to make a unique take on the Naranja/Uva academy... but nope, gotta start at Kanto. Ah well, at least they'll be travelling all over the world

This at the least is pretty understandable. It’s pretty hard to address the Academies without “canonizing” one in this universe, which is something I can’t imagine they want to do. Creating a new Indigo Academy in Kanto is a decent nod without really touching that issue, though they could have ditched both Naranja and Uva and done like… Manzana as a compromise

At least this school actually looks like a school and not like a joke
In fact, they just gave us a taste in the current series of what the school itself looks like. In Alola, too much of it is not shown, other classes of classes, festivals and what characterize school romances and comedies

Don't get your hopes up to high, because Pokemon and school doesn't mix well together.

I guess they could have made them into school houses and called the boarding school something generic like the Pokémon Academy.

It's rarely well-executed, but i did like how they implemented the school in Shadows of Almia.
