Ash’s time in the Pokemon anime has finally come to an end in Japan, and a trailer for the new series, Pokemon Horizons, sets up the adventures to come.
We’ve known for a while now that Ash Ketchum, our beloved protagonist who caught barely any Pokemon, would no longer be the protagonist of the Pokemon anime. The final episode of Pokemon Journeys: The Series (the full title of the last season) has aired in Japan, bringing Ash’s story to a close, and likely a teary eye to many who grew up with the world’s best Pokemon trainer. But there’s a new generation of trainers that will lead the Pokemon anime, and there’s a new trailer showing the next series off properly for the first time.
Pokemon Horizons: The Series is set to debut this year, and will focus on a pair of new protagonists, Liko and Roy. Eagle-eyed fans already noticed that Liko’s hair clip resembles Ash’s insignia on his original cap, leading some to question if there’s some kind of a connection between the two, but it’s entirely possible that it’s just a way to suggest they’re the respective protagonists.
