"The New Pocket Monsters Series", starts April 2023

[Zabilac]

Will this take place in the same universe (poke-verse, whatever) Ash is?

Either that or it's in the movie-verse with that version of Ash.

 

[Sonic Boom]

A new installment to a series that had otherwise remained with a one loose but connected canon, and one of the protagonists has a fire motif and is named Roy.

Did I just describe Pokémon 2023, or Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade.

does that mean Roy will be useless ? :d

Thank goodness. I understand those who are heartbroken Ash is leaving.

But I'm sorry, it's been 25 years already. It's time for someone new to take the stage. And I'm so excited we get a female characters that actually does gyms

Goodbye Ash, it's been swell. I'm ready for a new face

 

[Dragneelo]

Riko has such bright blue eyes. And has black hair. And is wearing a Pokémon League Logo pin on her hair. And apparently, her family is a mystery for now. Could it be...?

Feels like the Brock of the new series

Until he gets promoted towards the end of the series

Oh ye, best part about this is that SV's storyline can be properly adapted and not screwed over

Best storyline since Gen 5, would be a waste if it wasn't properly adapted.

Imagine this being set in the future and Ash and everyone we know and love is already dead *gasps*

I suffered enough. Now it's time to celebrate!!!!

 

[Blood Red]

Because he probs is lol

 

[Jeal]

NEXT TIME...
A NEW BEGINNING!

 

[GohMaster!]

Pikachu being sent off is the bolder move than Ash. The mouse being truly replaced as the mascot?

 

[Eevee903]

I hope we get some description soon lol to clear out this mess. I don't want three months of radio silence

It's definitely gonna be the franchise mascot forever (it is Japanese Mickey ffs), but the anime probably wants to try something new.

 

[Satokishi]

Goh was so bad they had to make a new MC.

 

[BobbbidyBob]

Do we know what Riko’s goal is?
