>It has been announced that the popular Pocket Monsters anime (airs on the TV Tokyo Network every Friday at 6:55pm, officially abbreviated "Anipoke") will plunge into a new chapter titled "Wonder Voyage" starting with the episode airing May 22nd. A new key visual has been released, and a new character as well as a Metamon have been shown!
>>287670181>The visual depicts Liko, Roy, Dot, Uruto and the Pokémon seemingly emerging from a monster ball, creating a visual that hints towards the new adventures that await them in the future.
>>287670191>In the center of the visual, we see a Metamon and a young girl that appears to be a new character! How will these two become involved in Liko and the others' adventures? We also see Legendary Pokémon like Koraidon, Miraidon and Ogerpon surrounding the group, building expectations for their appearances in the anime. Not only that, we also see illustrations that bring Pokemon Go, Pokemon Unite and Pokemon Sleep to mind.
>>287670195>A new trailer for the Rising Again arc was released as well. The trailer shows a fierce battle in progress, with Liko and the others in trouble as the Pokémon fight with all their might to stop Spinel! And then, the Rakulium Core awakens as well... It's finally time for the conclusion to the decisive battle over Rakua; Will Liko and the others be able to together stop Spinel's schemes?
>>287670139She's joined the fight AGAINST Spinel now.
>none of the promo tweets mention Mega Zygarde>none of the promo tweets mention Sango's Onipurin replacing Botan's Nymphia as one of the 18 TerasmonsWhy? Those are some of the more interesting parts of the preview.
>>287670216The Sango thing you kinda have to squint to spot, but yeah, it's weird they're not shilling the hell out of Mega Zygarde's debut this ep.
>>287670216>Sango's Onipurin replacing Botan's Nymphia as one of the 18 TerasmonsWhere is that even from?
>>287670271We see it at the very end of the preview.Near impossible to see in >>287669949 due to the on-screen text blocking most of Scream Tail's body
>brat saving the day as usual
>>287670363Many such cases.
>>287670119>>287670171of COURSE they include the hypnosis scene.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2047601446238269701>The 18 Teras Type Pokémon are now assembled, and begin purifying the Rakulium Core! However, the core itself awakens, and drive Liko and the others up against the wall... How will they take it on?! The final battle in the Pokémon anime is coming up soon at 6:55pm, make sure to watch it with your own eyes!
>>287670685
>>287670690
>>287670698
>still no brat mention
>>287670685Let's fucking do this.
>>287669909Hope we get new info on the loli today.
>>287670708Spinel looking better now.
Calling it now, zySHART will job and rayray will save the day
>>287670685>The final battle in the Pokémon anime
>>287670893Pretty obvious considering Zygarde is mega evolving today while it seems they're saving Fug's mega evolution for next week
>>287670906They called the previous Rakua battle "the final battle" too.
>>287670062>>287670007I wonder if this will make more sense in context.
15 minutes! Get ready.
>>287671063I'm ready for the brat's big hero moment!
>>287671063Ready.
Sex with Liko's legs
>didn't put perfect Zygarde in the OPgay
Very different title card
Nicely framed legs
Motto motto!
Oh shit, we never got Diana's Teras catchphrase before did we?
The gang's all here!
Did just get the best cut of animation?
>>287671233Nope, first time.
They seem kinda fucked since they can't defend against attacks like this.
Holy shit, zard went down quick.
>>287671239>Did Dot?
Time for the brat.
It's TIME!
Sango saves the day!
>>287671261No, Sango did.
The true protag doing her big hero speech.
He's breaking.
Oh shit, he snapped.
Blacky trying to save him to the end
Well shit, there went Pagogo.
I guess it fused with Spinel?
Damn, that fucker seems unbeatable.
>only one not giving up is the brat
Go away Roy, this is Liko's scene.
Yeah, no trailer at the end of the episode, they'd have mentioned it in the sponsor card if we were getting one.
>>287671333Hope she gets more good scenes.
They really should've promoted Sango's role in the episode more.
Mega evolve it, you retard.
Nice that they're letting Armorga help out too, we've never seen it do much more than be a ridemon before.
Roy is insane.
Tentacle monster time
Is it finally mega zyg time?
Jesus, not even Zyg and Fug did anything to it?
>Rubella and Indi are finally starting to realize this isn't a good thing
Fuck yeah Cap
Lots of really cool cuts this episode.
Oh huh, it's not actually attacking, it's retaliating
This seems like something Dot should've come up with, not Liko.
It's like an rpg boss, and they found the ai pattern
Dotto nara dekiru!
>Iolite plays
>>287671425Dot got the strategy down
So if I got it right, its defense increases as it gets hit, so they need to use an attack stronger than any they've done before.
Good episode, they were clearly saving all their animation budget for this
DotLiko power!
>>287671467More like a smart defense.>New attack? Cut off the area from reaching
Oh, no Gurumin segment either
So they just spoiled that he lives.
Even Blacky is turning on Spinel
>>287671499in a franchise like this do you know how shit a trainer you have to be to have your own pokemon turn on you?
Holy shit, brat won.
>>287671508Especially when you know that Blacky was basically ready to serve as a testing ground for any research of his?
Love how they just took out Penny for Sango.
DotLiko status?
Hey listen!Promo stuff coming out.
>>287671555Cute
>>287671555Name is Navy/Navi and she’s from Kalos.
OP by honeyworks, ED by cutie street
>>287671569>NaviYeah, she's gonna dictate where to go next?
>>287671575Never heard of the latter.
New title and summary:>May 1st: PM2023 136 - Stellar Finale>Having absorbed Spinel, the awakened Rakulium Core goes on a rampage! An all-out fierce battle breaks out, with even the Explorers providing Liko and the others with backup, but in the end they only have one single chance to destroy the core by using the most powerful attack they can pull off...?! Just then, Rayquaza and Zygarde respond to Roy and Amethio by...?! And Liko's final resolve is to...?! The time has finally come for the long fight over Rakua to conclude!!
>>287671587They're gonna obliterate the pink stuff.
>>287671555Why she so smug.
>>287671569I thought she was going to be from the new region.
So, are they aware that firing that attack will kill Spinel or are they just not gonna bring that up? if they do this'll be the first death of a person since Pokemon Hunter J
>>287671640NTA but I think she's more mainly for the Pokopia pieces.
>>287671653Spinel is seemingly fine in the preview card.
>>287671221Too much to me.
>>287671555She looks like an inkling
>>287671620She saw Uruto's mole.

However, Sango then shows up and Terastallizes Scream Tail, joining the purification of the Rakulium Core! Having even been betrayed by his own exec, Spinel approaches the endangered Rakulium Core. And then...?!
>>287671855DOWN WITH DOGMONS
Is DotLiko still canon?
Episode was cool, want more of the Rakurium core please.

>>287671873
>>287671861>>287671485
>>287671855>>287671867So Spinel wasn't even surprised that much by his own admins bailing, what did he say?
https://x.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/2047624124768387480>In today's episode of the Pokémon anime, Liko and the others attack the Rakulium Core! And as Spinel tries to stop this, a powerful helper arrives from the Explorers...?! Check it out on the official Youtube channel, okay?
By the end of it, will Spinel qualify as pure evil? I guess it depends on how he really feels about his Blacky.
>>287671824Where.
>>287671555>Girl living in lumiose city>She meets ditto, who came on an airshipAssuming there's just... another airship I guess this means more z-a stuff first, and apparently a ditto's just been chilling on the airship? Either secretly or it hopped aboard between arcs.

The new character shown on the key visual is Navi, a young girl living in Miare City, who meets a Metamon that arrived there on an airship...?! (airdate and airtime may vary depending on region. Episode content is subject to change)
>>287671961>living in Miare CityOh huh. Wonder if she knows Matiere.
>>287671961Made for adoption.
>>287671499What did he do??? Never seen a viklain's pokemon do this.
Oh cap my captain
>>287671867I love the brat. Any ideas for commissions? I got a guy that draws high quality flat girls.
>>287671994By Liko and Dot.
>>287672086Sango Maid.
>>287671994Matiere pls
>>287672086Sango bullying Spinel
>>287671979If they don’t at least name-drop her that’s a missed layup. You don’t set something in Miare and *not* tease Looker Bureau. Even just a “my big sister has a weird detective friend” line would send /vp/ into cardiac arrest. Watch it just be a background poster cameo though.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2047625347936731574>New Pokémon Anime Opening Theme:>The opening theme for the new chapter starting Friday May 22nd will be... "Sekai Tsunagare" by Liko & Roy (voiced by Minori Suzuki & Yuka Terasaki), Produced by HoneyWorks. We've received comment from the two vocalists and everyone at HoneyWorks!>Being from the generation that grew up exposed to Pokémon starting with the 1996 release of Pocket Monsters Red/Green, we are both very happy and honored to have been asked to produce the opening theme this time. >Some members of HoneyWorks have played every entry in the Pocket Monsters series so far, and some are still totally addicted to things like the Pokémon Card Game and Pokémon Go. It's been about 30 years since the Pokémon anime started airing, and I would love to brag to my younger self who watched the anime with sparkling eyes every single week without fail that I got to work on a Pokémon theme song (laughs).>We tried to make our new song Sekai Tsunagare an exciting and thrilling song based around the idea of Liko, Roy and the Rising Volt Tacklers setting off on a new journey, and I believe we succeeded in creating the kind of upbeat and pleasant rock-style song we at HoneyWorks specialize in. >Sekai Tsunagare will serve as the opening theme for the new chapter, and it would make me really happy if it helped make the Pokémon anime even more wonderful>-HoneyWorks
>>287672606>Ever since I saw a crowd of Pokénds singing the earlier ending theme RVR: Rising Volt Tacklers Rap, I've secretly dreamed of Liko and Roy getting to sing an opening as well, so I became extremely happy when I learned this was actually happening!>I sang this song as if I was Liko and had Roy, Masquernya and the others there, feeling the kindness of my Partners and companions. Singing this song made me feel past and present adventures hitting me straight in the heart.>The song automatically fired me up, and I loved every minute of the recording session, singing with a huge smile on my face while feeling so happy I almost cried! May this song make both the Pokémon anime community and the Pokémon fan community even bigger and more dedicated!>-Minori Suzuki, the voice of Liko
>>287672619>Ever since I got to sing the earlier ending theme RVR: Rising Volt Tacklers Rap, I've hoped I'd get to sing an opening one day as well, so I'm really happy my wish actually came true.>I think of anime openings as one of the most important beginnings out there the way they guide the viewers into the world of the story they're about to watch, which is precisely why I sang this song while taking in that very world so that I could give off that feeling of beginning an exciting adventure.>This is a wonderful song that will make you feel optimistic and ready for what lies ahead, one that fits the Rising Volt Tacklers perfectly, and I myself am really looking forward to seeing what kind of animation they're going to play alongside it. I hope a lot of you Pokémon anime fans will sing along. >And make sure to look forward to Liko, Roy and the others' next adventure, which will begin alongside this new opening theme!>-Yuka Terasaki, the voice of Roy
>>287672606Oh huh. If they're having the mcs do the opening now, I guess there won't be another one after this.

https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2047626607364551034>New Pokémon Anime Ending Theme:>The ending theme for the new chapter starting Friday May 22nd will be... "Cute na Cutai" by Cutie Street. We've received a comment from all the vocalists in Cutie Street:>We got really surprised when we first learned that Cutie Street would be handling an ending theme for the Pocket Monsters anime! It's hard to believe the day when we got to do the ending theme for a show that's so beloved and has brought so many smiles to so many people has actually come. This is such an honor!>We hope you'll not only pay close attention to the lyrics of Cute na Cutai, but also to its cute dance choreography that's based around monster balls and Pikachu! A lot of the dancing involves moves even small children will be able to have fun imitating, so it would make us really happy if everyone could have fun together with this song!>This is a really addictive song that has a lot of little earworm phrases, and that will no doubt make you want to hum and dance along to it, so please look forward to both the song and the anime itself every week from here on!>We hope Cute na Cutai will become a hit all over the world just like Pokémon itself has become!>-Cutie Street

>>287673058This was such a cool scene.
Ouch
>>287671942Lurking in a city with an airport or general tourism isn't the worst idea.
>>287673755Higher than last week, lower than 133... you know, that feels about right.
>>287671961Those pants are bizarre.
>>287673755>>287673812Lots of action scenes, little substance, and felt like they were dragging it out so they could end the episode at a specific point.Yeah, I get it.
>>287672885I love themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZqTz1G8G04
>>287673947That's pretty catchy.
Can Liko and Dot's love be accepted by society?
>>287674093It's already beloved by all.
If they're revealing all this stuff now, does that mean we won't get any announcements during the break?
>>287674093It's legal in Paldea. Not legal in Kanto where they're too busy dealing with bread and butter, trying to rebuild the economy while keeping inflow to a minimum. And really, the only thing they want to legalise is rebuilding the Kantonese Imperial Army.
>>287674161Neither of them are from Kanto, so that shouldn't matter.
>>287671961So I guess "Navi" come from navigation? Is she going to be the ship's navigator?

>>287673812Can it recover next week?
>>287675186If they nail the ending, sure. The previous Rakua finale did very well.
>>287671824No?
This week's Nicolive ratings. A lot of shows got much higher ratings this week than they did last week, so Pokemon dropped a bit despite its somewhat higher rating.
>>287675491Precure is strong, Jesus.
>>287675491>Yuri in thirdGood shit.
>>287675632They need more DotLiko moments.
>>287675491> SM series had similar or higher TV rating than Precure. SM series confirmed to be better than Pokemon 2023 series.
>>287675491This is what happens when you don't focus on Liko or Dot.
>Liko and Roy songDot sisters........Uruto brothers......
>>287672086Collared Sango getting fed the hypno donuts.
>>287673755I can’t really put stock in Nicolive rating. I don’t think they really care about the plot.
>>287676393>I don’t think they really care about the plot.Wow.......and it took you this long to realize? Quite the smart one aren't you.
>>287676523No, I’ve been aware of this for a while.
>>287676393I am not saying the plot of PM23 is good because everyone and their mothers knows this sucks ass since Part 1 but they could offscreen the whole conflict and hit us with a beach episode next week and it would be the Top 5 episodes of the year for Nico Nico.
>>287676593I don't think you really like anime if you don't think beach episodes are a good thing.
I hope they'll do a lot of beach episodes in Wonder Voyage.
>>287676617You know? What you just said is so amusingly retarded this is as far as I am engaging you
>>287676700We need a Sango beach episode.
>>287671555she doesn't look human...
>>287671855sango turning on him is what set him off that much?
>>287677146Brats have that power.
A reminder
Dot and Liko should kiss next week.
>>287676393Pokémon 2023 doesn't even have any plot.
>>287677937God, this is such a weak troll. At least call Liko a Mary Sue who was handed a legendary on a silver platter or something, if you want to trigger people.
>>287678055>even acknowledging crap like that
>>287673058My hero Captain.
>>287678126My heroic brat! And that other guy!
What is the brat going to do once all is over?
>>287678055I agree, PM23 has a plot even if it is an extremely weak one. Next arc doesn't look any better but I can only hope we get some cool battles>>287677455I don't care if the next arc runs on fumes as long as the last battle between these two is movie quality with flashbacks and all. It has the potential to become the most intense and amazing companions battle in the franchise.....as long as Roy goes easy on her that is
>>287678055What is the plot again? Oh wait, bunch of uninteresting characters team up to fight evil organisations. There were multiple kids anime with similar plot that pull it off better such as Digimon ,Megaman and Precure. While Pokémon 2023 didn't put any effort and shove wish fulfillment fanfic to glorify current OC as if its written by a 12 year old friendless neet coping over nobody notices them on school.In fact Pokémon 2023 feels like a kiddy anime compared to the original where the MC started his journey being electrocuted by his Pikachu, hit by the small tornado, chased by flock of Spearow , nearly drowned, nearly eaten by a Gyarados and slapped by a girl.
>>287678295Ever since the timeskip.
They should of had xatu teleport some pokemon out of the way of crystal attacks and garganacl use wide guard to weaken the attacks just so sango wasn't the only one of the 3 helping.
>we're getting a lot of brat art againGood shit.

Roy insists on dangling from Kilowattrel’s legs.
>>287678800one of the biggest problems this season was the lack of Sango
>>287679071 >>287671961
> Sgt Keroro is coming back> Chris Even as Captain America is coming back > Lyrical Nanoha is coming back > Shinji Ikari is coming back> Avatar Aang came back with a new squeal movie. > Pokemon Writers : No why can't bring Ash back even as a side character! We must waste the 30th anniversary of the entire anime series on a two years fillers arc on our self inserts getting more legendary pokemon handed to them. Worst part is that if they wants an anime series on MC taking on evil organization so badly then it makes Ash's replacement even more pointless. If anything Ash makes more sense than a newbie who started with level 05 pokemon, Pokemon Horizons would have made more sense with Ash & Dawn then Liko & Roy.
>>287679147Yeah things are pretty soulless nowadays, huh!Actually the joke I wanna make is how all those things you listed are being treated as temporary so even as a shitpost it doesn't work. Also glad you compared ash to desperate marvel slop
>>287679327Don't reply to that guy.
>>287679344But it's funny to think someone would compare ash to say... the avatar movie that not only isn't coming to theaters, but the new earth avatar series is being worked on!
>>287679380Just ignore him, he comes by every week to spout retarded shit like that, then leaves when he doesn't get his (you)s.
>>287671942>Assuming there's just... another airship I guess this means more z-a stuff first, and apparently a ditto's just been chilling on the airship?Its gonna be a mixture of them. Might loop around to Mature.
>>287679462The true harem.
>>287671555I legit thought for a second those were her ears.Her aspects scream more Pokemon than human.
>>287679327Unlike MCU characters , Ash still has things left to do such as catching his own third legendary pokemon. Furthermore MPM has shown that Ash can carry the show as long as he has better companion considering even freaking SM series went toe to toe with Precure unlike Horzons. The main reason Pokemon 2019 failed because OLM bet everything on Ash & Goh's friendship and then the covid pandemic hit. >>287679380The new Avatar series already received backlash before even coming out.
>>287679484she just looks like an inkling at best
>>287679380Two things you need to remember --> The remaining dark vines on Kalos Forest is still unresolved > AZ never redeemed himself in the anime which is important because only his Floette can mega evolve. This two fact is enough to make a better arc related on Z-A with XY gangs. .
Hi anons, was there anything you wanted translated or clarified from today's episode?
>>287679904What the heck was Spinel's goal?
>>287679904What did Spinel say to Liko and others? Did he reveal something about himself? Explain why he's doing this?
>>287679930>>287680036He didn't really say, but he talked about how he wanted to spread Rakulium all over the world, insisting that companionships and bonds were comically fleeting things and that both humans and Pokemon were traitors-to-be (which is why he never trusted the brat to not betray him). Right before the Rakulium absorbed him, he talked about how the Rakulium was the ultimate form of strength, superior to life itself.
>>287680133So just blind love for power itself?
>>287679904What was the big reveal at the end?The summary in >>287671587 says "in the end they only have one single chance to destroy the core by using the most powerful attack they can pull off", but I didn't get what Dot said at the end.
>>287679904What exactly was the state that was the infused Spinel with the Rakurium?
>>287680133>which is why he never trusted the brat to not betray himnot like Sango had some eternal loyalty to him to begin with
>>287680241Sorry, I don't really get what you mean.>>287680223What they worked out was that the Rakulium Core is not a living creature, it's a brainless substance that simply responds to external stimuli. It counterattacks when attacked, but ignores everyone nearby that aren't actually attacking it. Also, when an attack hits close to the big round "eye", it will respond by shielding it with ever thicker layers of crystal, meaning that this is clearly the core itself, and the weak point. But just like iron gets stronger the more you strike it, so do these crystals, making attacks that used to work ineffective. As such, their only chance is to hit it with a single attack powerful enough to take it out, knowing that failure to do so will just make it impossible to hit again.
>>287680389That's basically what I figured, just without the actual specific details. Thanks, tlanon.
>>287680389After he fused himself with rakurium. Was it a gate? The eye-like movement of the core was odd.
Cuteko
>>287679071>this girl is from lumioseI wonder if people will finally realize the game "leakers" are BSing. Saw one claim this girl was a gen 10 pokemon in disguise and people believing it.
>>287681007Still not really sure what you mean. Here's what is said about the "awakened" core:>Friede: The stronger the external stimuli, the more powerful energy the Rakulium produces. >Diana: The power Pagogo used in its attempt to eradicate the Rakulium made the core's power increase as well.>Friede: Spinel's obsessive inability to give up on it became an additional stimulus as it resisted the eradication, causing the Rakulium itself to become mobile.
>>287681054You and your mtl shit is no better, retard-kun.
>>287681261>insults out of nowhere Projecting because you're retarded enough to fall for leaks... I feel so bad for you...

Just ignore him, god damn newfags.
>>287678239Join up with nanjamo
>>287671653He'll be fine.
If anyone present knows of any reason why this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace
>>287687617Dot is Liko only.
>>287680223Nice way to make Rayquaza and Zygarde look weak.

>>287688117Damn, they really had a lot of them this set.
Do you think Dot has a crush on Liko?
>>287688456Obviously.
As Gen 9 comes to an end, lifeline extended only by TPC's incompetence, I am thinking back to one of my favourite memories. A Leftist FREAKING the fuck out when she read the words "Paldean EMPIRE"
Just one more week until Maidot May
>>287689145Isn't that every May?
>>287688117Is there one with Liko and Terapagos?
>>287689393Yeah, the previous set had one. These >>287688117 are from the new one that released on Thursday.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2047918535595422072>Pokémon Anime Spotlight:>Episode 135, "Awakening! The Rakulium Core of Doom"
>>287689517>Liko and Dot focus last time>DotLiko focus this timeNice
>>287689349That's why May is the best month.
>>287688504> Gen 05 had the best story that ask the legitimacy of catching pokemon & force them to fight. > OLM : We gotta ditch this and turn Ash even dumber than before so we can shill a blonde newbie racist as the new "Paul" to spread xenophobia. > Gen 06 introduce Mega evolution .> OLM : We will introduce a self insert with a personality of brick wall and have him promote Mega evolution as his personal power fantasy instead of giving mega evolution to our actual beloved MC and forced an anime exclusive transformation on his Greninja that nobody asked for to be a fobber for that self insert. > Gen 08 introduce Gloria , Marnie & the first legends game> OLM : We gonna bitch lead girl and bet the entire series on BL friendship between Ash and Goh. > Gen 09 bring another legends game for Ash to properly promote Mega evolution. > OLM : We will remove Ash to write a fanfic about a doormat with magic bloodline, another "Alain" with magic bloodline and some Ash-clone getting third legendary pokemon handed to them. Something went wrong on Gen 05, its like an incompetent moron joined the production committee who pushes the most dumbest ideas.
>>287690085Harem needs more Dot.
>>287690085This scene will go down in history as one of the Pokemon anime's most legendary moments.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2047948731841122424>Pokémon Anime Spotlight:>Episode 135, "Awakening! The Rakulium Core of Doom"
>>287688202>>287689538>>287690544They sure seem proud of these cuts.
>>287690480This and the hypnosis scenes.
>>287690593Well, it's flying scenes. You have to make sure they look amazing.
>>287689517>Stellar Terapagos is only 4 starsWhat is this bullshit?
Since we are getting the rest of the legendary Pokemon from gen 9, what type of scene do you hope they would do?
>>287691668Sango bullying Suguri out of Ogerpon.
>>287691668Ogerpon is the only one of them I really like, so I just hope we get a lot of focus on that.
>>287691695This.
Sango is still going to be around after next week, right?
> Pokemon anime before 2023 : I RATHER DIEEEEEEEEE THEN LET ASH WIN THE LEAGUE WITHOUT GOING THOUGH 23 YEARS OF BULLSHIT AND EVEN THEN HE WON'T BE WORTHY FOR A FREAKING LATIUS. > Pokemon anime after 2023 : Who cares about effort , character development , growth and being relatable ? Our main characters should get everything handed to do them by doing bare minimum. Pokemon Horizons are produced by hypocrites and anybody supports it are hypocrites.
>>2876912365 stars are endgame bosses, Mega Fug and Mega Zyg are the first time anime tie-ins have been used as those.
>>287692335Silly Liko, those are for boys.
>>287692765Liko is so lucky...
>episode only had like 20 seconds of SangoWhy is this allowed?
>>287693668She'll hopefully get a better role next week, since it should conclude the arc.
Who has a crush on Dot.
>>287693668this season in general has not been kind to Sango.
