Hi there, I was bored so decided to watch the new Pokémon horizons series featuring new protagonist Liko. I was surprised how good this was, the concept of adventuring without gyms, not too many Pokémon but getting good with few, the characters, the storyline, no annoying team rocket, an even cooler Pikachu (sorry to hurt OG Pikachu fans). Definitely will recommend a watch, I am currently at 40th episode, and it just keeps getting better, the characters are amazing, and the bad guys are really cool too, slightly more competitive than team rocket (expecting them to put even greater fight).

Is the animation all kiddie still? Like, it looks like at some point the animation got all overly-cutsie and saccharine...

[–] grff@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes for this reason I prefer the earlier series , the artwork in more nostalgic

Its unwatchable now

Animation hasn't changed much

I mostly agree, however I think the most recent season is dragging. To keep it light on spoilers, they kind of stop following the main plot and more or less revert to the old format as a kind of training arc.

yeah I felt that too, especially from the part where they said they are trying to earn money, sounded like filler

I actually had no idea the new series had even released. Is it dubbed?

[–] clot27@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's been more than a year since it started airing. It is dubbed up to 30 out of 61 episodes iirc.

I have heard a lot of good about it, and am glad to hear that it is well-deserved. I may make time to watch it in time myself.

Yah I am watching it too, I like the earlier episodes a lot. Later on the formula changes a bit unfortunately to the detriment of the series but ot is still quite fun
