Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Pokemon horizons is the newest series of Pokemon and it's already better than the previous era i hope more people watch this show It doesn't require one to watch other seasons just straight pick up this series and behold the peak pokemon.

All salty ash fans need to realise their idol ain't coming back and liko is already better than ash .

All side characters are too good man this gives me origins vibes.

This new journey type setup is also refreshing to see and it is executed much better than what the pokemon journeys did.

Characters feel real and relatable all villans are also peak like amethio and spinel.

I've watched Pokemon Horizons Season 1 & 2 (Never been Boring) A really fresh Start with Amazing Animation and Story The Series is a big change for the Pokemon world. After so many years following Ash and Pikachu, this new series brings in two brand new main characters: Liko and Roy. And honestly, it works really well. The show feels fresh, exciting, and more emotional than before. Both the animation and the story are big improvements, and it's fun to watch whether you're new to Pokemon or have been a fan for years.

Animation: A Huge Improvement

Right away, one of the first things you'll notice is how beautiful the animation is. Compared to older Pokemon series, Horizons looks much more detailed and polished. The characters move smoothly, the colors are richer, and the lighting during battles or emotional scenes really stands out.

Battles in this series are way more exciting. Pokemon moves look more powerful, and the camera angles during fights make everything feel more intense. Captain Pikachu especially has some awesome fight scenes that show off just how good the animation has become. Even the small moments like wind blowing through trees is really detailed.

The airship the characters travel in is another cool visual element. It gives the series a unique vibe, almost like an adventure anime. There are also glowing effects, and ancient ruins that all add to the world and make it feel new and exciting.

Story: Deeper and More Focused

The story is where Horizons really changes things. Instead of going around collecting gym badges like Ash used to, Liko and Roy are on a different kind of journey. Liko has a mysterious pendant connected to something powerful, and Roy has an old Poke Ball linked to a legendary past. They travel with a group called the Rising Volt Tacklers-basically a team of explorers with a flying ship.

This series is more focused on long-term storytelling. Each episode connects to the next, so there's always a reason to keep watching. There are also real character moments, where Liko and Roy grow as people. Liko starts off shy and unsure of herself, but slowly becomes braver and more confident. Roy brings a lot of energy and curiosity, and his bond with Fuecoco is really fun to watch.

Season 2 builds on this even more. We get to learn more about Liko's family and why her pendant is so important. Roy also starts to discover the history behind his Poke Ball and the ancient Pokémon. The bad guys-called the Explorers-also become more interesting. They're not just "evil for no reason" characters. Some of them, like Amethio, have real depth.

One of the best things about this series is how it gives time for quiet, emotional moments. It's not just battle after battle. There are episodes where the characters reflect, talk, and grow closer. It feels more real, and it helps you care about them more.

Overall, Pokemon Horizons Season 1 and 2 are a great step forward for the franchise. The animation is the best it's ever been, and the story feels more meaningful than before. It's different from the old Pokémon series, but in a good way. It has emotional feel, mystery, adventure, and great visuals, never been boring.

If you're a long time Pokemon fan, you'll enjoy the new direction. And if you're new to the series, this is a great place to start. Horizons proves that even without Ash, Pokemon can still tell an amazing story.

This show has a lot of things going for it. The biggest one is that it's actually based around a storyline and sets up a lot of intriguing mysteries, which is better than the constant filler viewers had to contend with in the original anime.

The start of the show was a bit shaky for me. The two-episode premiere felt quite dry, and the introduction of the show's conflict was too jarring. However, the show gradually picks up the pace, and in the meantime makes up for it with a concrete story that's worth following. The ideas for each episode are creative and exciting, the villains are actually calculating and threatening instead of being bumbling fools, and the characters' actions are thoughtful and intelligent. Whoever's writing this show, props to you, because this is an impressive take on the Pokémon franchise!

Kids will definitely enjoy this, it's got a cool adventure-y vibe! If you're a teen or adult checking the anime out again, it'll naturally feel like a kids' show, but the quality story and aforementioned adventure-y vibe might just keep you sticking around. Maybe I'm biased since I'm a fan of Pokémon myself (the games, not the anime), but it really is a refreshing, interesting change.

This series has one of the best story writing in a Pokemon anime that I have ever seen because the plot in the beginning can be mysterious and vague but later on it would slowly start to unveil itself with many secrets about the lore in the series and the characters revolving around it. The characters are quite relatable with Liko being a shy and introverted protagonist while Roy contrasts Liko's personality by being more similar to Ash's personality. Dot is just really relatable,Friede is just really cool,and the rest of the Rising Voltackler's are also good characters as well. The villains are also really good with them being confident and also intelligent and ready to execute any plan they have into motion against the main protagonists.

Overall,I highly recommend to watch this series because it is appealing to old and new pokemon fans alike.

I know the series isn't finished yet but as of right now its a solid pokemon series.

I understand that you might be hesitant or willing to write off the show, because of the way the story is going or the fact it doesn't have ash, but to be fair on the people and the story, it's geared towards children to begin with it, not to mention that it's more story driven and character focused not to mention a bit more realistic so of course the more experienced trainer would logically do more, and it's a new story and it's the first time the anime did something entirely different so you should at least give it that, i mean the worst reviewed episode was 6.7, which it's not that bad, of course, if you feel the show is bad i wouldn't blame you thinking that, because we all have our opinions, and this is my opinion as well, but please don't let the negative comments stop you from taking a look at least.
