People are pointing out how this scene in the opening, it's all girls besides Roy. Besides Friede who is probably taking a backseat now that they're all in school, Horizons feels like it's being more aimed at girls now than boys. There's 5+ major female characters on the cast, more including...

Liko, Roy and Dot battling Gym leaders as a test is cool, even if it's not the traditional badge route. Granted I don't think all 3 will battle all 8, but maybe split them between them all, like Liko battles 3 of them, Roy battles 3, etc. Ash being around always meant his companions could never...

With the Legends Z game in 2025, it's pretty obvious this is going to be a long gen. Gen 10 probably won't come out till Fall 2025 at the earliest or even 2026, so Horizons is probably going to last at least 4 years before they change anything. So far the anime has barely covered anything from...

There's probably some sense of irony that Horizons isn't a Paldea series and you look at these shorts and wonder why they don't do a short 13-26 episode anime just covering the game. Now that the anime has moved away from covering the games entirely for the most part and doing their own thing...

This show is much more plot driven than Ash's Pokemon anime was, but at the same time, it's still pokemon. It's a kids show so people should know what to expect. A lot of people were always bored of the old Gym formula they had Ash do for 6 series in a row, so this is something completely...

Seeing how that turtle matches Liko's color scheme, I guess they really did design her loosely based on it.

It's kinda impossible to condense the story of the game to just 4ish episodes, especially with all the characters the game introduced, so it makes sense the anime didn't try to do that. Also how would they even do it, have Ash, Go (or Dawn) travel back in time and meet Dawn's ancestor? It really...

You know with all the new game characters shown with the DLC and in Scarlet/Violet's base game, it really surprises me the Horizon's anime is filling out the cast with OC's (anime original characters), for both the main cast and villains. Like we got Nemona in the anime and some of the Paldea...

First season made it blatant, chicken legs and what looks like a crab is on the plate. This is from the first St. Anne episode btw.

Interesting is this is the second series in a row where the writers are allowed to do their own thing and not advertise the games much. Journey's didn't focus on Galar much and now this series has no Paldea characters at all. I wonder if something changed in the upper management allowing the...

Hoping they actually don't bring in the Gym formula into this, the show actually has to have a plot if they don't cover 8 Gyms anymore. Doesn't seem like Liko is interested in challenging the Paldea Gyms anyway so I guess it's not happening.

All the previews of Liko so far feel like the writers are trying to promote her similar to Dawn in the early DP era. Remember how Dawn got nearly all the first ep of DP to herself? Liko and the way she's being promoted so far gives me the same feeling, along with getting the most marketable...

Goodra and Naganadel already returned at the end of their respective sagas for the leagues, so that's probably why they didn't feel the need to revisit them now. Goodra is still Ash's as he could transfer it over if he want, albeit Nagandel is a bit harder since it's in another dimension...

Took a look at the first page of this thread, it was started back in 2012, over a decade ago, when Best Wishes was airing. Imagine telling someone back in 2012, when BW was airing which of course wasn't well received at the time, that the anime would end with Ash in about a decade later. Crazy...

A Pokemon Master is something Ash came up with himself, so wanting to befriend every Pokemon in the world that he meets is fitting, and fits with the core themes of the series since the first season. These last 11 eps have constantly showed Ash help wild Pokemon he doesn't own, so they were...
