Pokemon Horizons English Release Gets Sneak Peek at SDCC
It was with much anticipation that Pokemon Horizons premiered in Japan back in April.
After all, aside from being the next installment in a beloved anime, this is also the first Pokemon series to not feature Ash Ketchum as the protagonist.
Though its international release has been confirmed before, there hasn’t been any update about the English release.
Finally, The Pokemon Company has broken its silence on the show’s English release as Pokemon Horizons got a sneak peek of the first episode which follows Liko. You can check it out there:
As a 10-minute clip, this is a must-watch for series fans as it gives a peek at what to expect from Liko, which is important as she effectively replaces Ash.
From the looks of it, Horizons will have an interesting dynamic between Liko and her Sprigatito as they don’t get along.
This is rather reminiscent of Ash’s first encounters with Pikachu back in the original anime.
