After the retirement of Ash from the Pokemon franchise, we have new duo protagonists who will begin their adventure in the world of New Pokemon Anime.
Three months after Liko and Roy were introduced as the new face of Pokemon Tamer, the official Twitter of Pokemon tweeted a series of announcements starting from the first PV, a visual teaser, staff, and cast.
Not only that, the New Pokemon Anime is confirmed to premiere on April 14, 2023. The first episode will have a special one-hour duration as the start line for god-knows-when-it-ends anime. Pokemon company has confirmed that the anime will premiere in 2023 “and beyond”.
We are excited to welcome the New Pokemon Anime. That’s why we have gathered the information related to the anime below. Let’s dig in!
New Pokemon Anime Trailer and Visual Teaser
The first promotional video was released on March 3, 2023. We have been pretty much used to the animation quality of Pokemon for the last few years. It seems that there is no significant change in quality even after Ash retired.
The PV contains the voiced introduction of Liko and Roy as the protagonists. It also introduces a new character, Friede and Captain Pikachu. Based on research, they are a new professor and his Pokemon.
The New Pokemon Anime will also feature Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly from the Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet video games. Apparently, they will become the main Pokemon that accompany the protagonist through the journey.
As the Pokemon fans, it isn’t complete if the series doesn’t include legendary Pokemon. It Is also confirmed that Rayquza in its shiny form will appear in the series.
New Pokemon Anime Staff and Cast
Though the PV has shown several characters, there are only four confirmed casts so far. They are:
- Minori Suzuki as Liko
- Yuka Terasaki as Roy
- Taku Yashiro as Friede
