Pokémon Sword and Shield - How will they impact the anime?

[Redstar45]

There wasn't much to the trailer, except seeing Ash's character design, as well as the new character "Kou" and hearing his VA.

"Kou" is sound like a boy to me

 

[Fire_Phoenix]

"Kou" is sound like a boy to me

Actually, it's "Gou", and yes, that's a boy

"Kou" is sound like a boy to me

Unless they are doing something else, the new character is definitely a boy, based on his voice.

LET'S GO SCORBUNNY.

I can't believe it.

 

[VoltTacklingPika]

Gou wants to catch every Pokemon, if I heard correctly.

The trailer also said "two main characters", for what that's worth.

Ok so its a boy.... Yayyyy
Still hope for a good girl

Isn't that impossible?

 

[1rkhachatryan]

Yep, knew he was a guy lol. They seem to be together during the adventures so the Ash representing Galar while the other trainers cover the other regions theory is kind of done.

 

[janejane6178]

Its the same Ash?

 

[WhiteBlair]

He is a precious boy:

No girl traveling?????

What? Let's Go-SwSh hybrid? Let's see:

• Ash will be entering the Champion League and become Go's senior/mentor?
• Go will be challenging the gyms?

Given his name is "Gou" this might be a nod to Pokemon Go and catching them all is kind of the point of that game.

Number of pokemon catched at the end of the series:
Ash:5
Gou:2

 

[SpiritSkye]

So male then, not surprising but I am a little sad. In any case, I’m excited to meet Gou!

Quick translation:

"New TV anime, Pokect Monsters. A story that takes place all over the Pokemon world. This time, there's two main characters. Satoshi (Ash: "I'll definitely become a Pokemon Master!) and one more: Gou (Gou: "My dream is to catch every Pokemon!"). His partner is the new Pokemon: Scorbunny."

Then Ash and Gou say: "Let's go the Pokemon world of dreams and adventure!".

Maybe the female lead will be whoever journied with ash in their respective region once ash visits them.

 

[SpiritSkye]

There wont be a girl characer?

Not as a protagonist, it would seem.
