"The New Pocket Monsters Series", starts April 2023

[vondecayle]

I guess some people got their wish of having Rhydon appear in the team of prominent characters.

 

[Satoshi no masara]

More and more unique characters are being introduced. Let's go! I really want a fresh new start for a Pokémon anime

 

[vondecayle]

I don’t think the new pair of characters look like TR copies. We will have to wait and see their personalities…

 

[Konja7]

So if Amethyo is a teenager how old are Riko and Roy? Still 10?

It's a good question. Liko (along her classroom) is receiving her Pokemon Starter. In previous seasons, the age for this was 10 years old, but we've never seen a whole classroom receiving Pokemon.

It's always possible Liko is a little older, but it would mean there are new rules.


That said, Amethyo could be 13 years old if he is a teenager. So, his age wouldn't be so different from Liko and Roy even if they're 10.

Conia, lots of R34 potential.

Gurumin - Iono confirmed.

Ceruledge - Liko's ace Armarouge confirmed

Btw, Ceruledge's Japanese name Soublades is very nice and cool.

I'v been wondering, now that Ash leaves the anime why the anime staff still use anime only/anime original characters instead of using characters from the games?

I'm not sure, but it's possible that the creators of the anime want to cut themselves off from the games a bit and create a new, unique world.

The girl with the new Fire Pokemon looks abit sassy
I wonder if her group is evil?

As I said, Horie's comment seems to imply they're good guys:

I hope I'll be able to give people courage through my acting the same way the Pokémon used to give me courage.
(...)
Amethio, a character that seems to be charged with a weighty mission despite just being a teenager.

This isn't how you describe getting cast as a villain.

 

[Pokegirl Fan~]

Sounds like they're "antiheroes" at the very most.

 

[RileyXY1]

I'm believing more and more that this series really is an AU.

 

[Ragnarok4]

Where the **** is Roy lmao


Who ordered these loser TR knockoffs off of Aliexpress? Along with the most generic Gen 1 Pokémon by their side.

Rhydon deserves to be here he was the first pokemon ever. Give my man a chance.

 

[janejane6178]

@Dephender, do you think that the new series is set in AU ?

Ceruledge's trainer is a boy. His voice actor (Shun Horie) is a man.

2) complete absence of game characters

That's a blessing. Maybe they won't screw with any other game character. The last new character they screwed with was Hop, and, oh boy.

It is also possible that the creators in the trailers want to focus only on the OC, and the characters from the game will only appear after the start of the series.

I just hope we don't constantly have to be subjected to "this is just a 2.0 copy of X !!!!!", just because they've decided to dislike the series and use the most surface level similarities to reach.

What's the other X then?

Ash's Voice Actor (Rika Matsumoto) is a woman

Ash's Voice Actor (Rika Matsumoto) is a woman

Yeah, and women voicing young boys is an incredbly common thing. Men voicing girls is not.
