Pocket Monsters (2023) Speculation Thread

So, it seems that the Pokemon anime will be featured at AnimeJapan 2026, just like last year. This exhibition will take place in late March, and the current arc will probably be in its final stages by that point. I wonder if we'll get some big announcement there, either about a new Horizons arc or perhaps something else.

Or maybe they'll just promote the finale of the arc there.

Well, after this arc is over, the RVT kids will be catching new pokemon next arc. The possibility of future captues being either a mythical, legendary or Paradox pokemon joining the team seems inevitable.

Most commenters favored Dot being paired with Penchurant, however, I think Orgepon would be a best addition to her team, since its a pokemon that likes to accessorize.

I think Liko and Roy's next pokemon will be interesting. I think its almost obvious what Uruto's next pokemon will be if he gets a mythical.

I do hope we get to see the SV Legendaries atleast properly showcased, I still wish Calyrex and the horses and the rest of galarian birds got time to shine.
I think it would be mandatory that the SV Legendaries appear within the horizon story. The tera type plot seems to be the catalyst that would debut them into the story properly.

I dont recall any of the anime gen story arcs to ever not include a main region Legendary in its story arcs.

Its a toss-up, either Miridan and Korridan debut via Friede obtaining both of them or the Explorers acquire them. Liko and Roy could also jsut brefriend them and ask them to join their quest.

Diana catching penchurant just seems out-of-no where, but this scenario opens the possibility to any type of encounter.

Kyurem didn't appear at all in the main BW series. Also, Zekrom was pretty irrelevant in the scheme of things.

I think it's because Quaquaval's the least popular of the three fully-evolved Paldean starters, ergo, the writers don't care about showcasing it as much.
I know Quaquaval isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but it’ll be cool to finally see all three Starters fully evolved in the anime

That’s a trend that’s never been broken in the anime until now (never understood why)

I feel like the other galarian birds have a decent enough excuse to just randomly show up in any series like some minor legends like to do.
Calyrex and the horses though yeah they are kinda doomed now.

Ya know, this is one thing I really miss about the Movies: at the very least they were a good excuse to show Legendaries & Mythicals in action if they weren't in the Show...

It feels especially bizarre--even wrong--that this may VERY well be the first series without the Box Legendaries...o_O

Quaquaval coming last would be a smack in the face for me considering how much it help my Violet team, but I guess it's done to give Armarouge more promotion.
Well, it's not only Quaquaval that's left after Charcadet's evolution cuz Lucario is also expected to Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario Z.
