"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
>>288053110>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
>>288053119>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
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

We've received comments from Liko's voice actress Minori Suzuki-san, Roy's voice actress Yuka Terasaki-san, Dot's voice actress Yoshino Aoyama-san and Uruto's voice actress Natsumi Fujiwara-san:>For several years now, I've kept fighting alongside Pagogo and the others with all my heart, and Liko, Roy and all the others have grown so so much through this adventure.>The new Wonder Voyage chapter that follows Rising Again will of course be filled with mega exciting battles, but also with lots of everyday scenes that are going to feel somewhat nostalgic!>Both Liko and I have been running at full speed alongside our companions, and it's precisely for that reason we've not only forgotten how to relax, but also how to STOP relaxing (laughs). It's going to be quite a few days of trial and error for us, but they're going to be exciting days of searching for that "dokimeki" and regaining that initial enthusiasm I once had when I first started out!>This new chapter is going to let us observe the love for Pokémon Liko has cherished for so long from all kinds of angles, and I hope we'll be able to share that love with people all over the world through the Pokémon anime!>And it would be great if... we got some new companions too!>-Minori Suzuki, the voice of Liko
>>288053193>It has been a full 3 years since this series started.>During those years, we've started many new chapters, but Wonder Voyage has a slightly different vibe to it than all the earlier ones.>This time, Liko and the others are no longer going to continue their passionate adventure to eradicate the Rakulium, but are instead going on a new journey out of a desire to meet Pokémon they've never seen before.>As far as we're concerned, in a way this might actually be the real beginning of their adventure.>Now that we've had some new companions join us, the Rising Volt Tacklers have become an even livelier little gang! Even I am really excited for the beginning of this new adventure, wondering what kind of stories lie in wait.>I hope you'll continue to enjoy the show!>-Yuka Terasaki, the voice of Roy
>>288053205>The sound of the words Wonder Voyage and the party-esque key visual already convey an immeasurable sense of excitement!>Liko and the others have had a huge amount of grand, fierce battles thus far, and every time they've fought them with body and soul brimming with determination and trust in their Partners.>I really hope you'll look forward to seeing how their qualities will come into play in this new chapter.>Dot's inquisitive mind has no bounds when it comes to Pokémon, and I am going to continue walking down this path alongside you viewers in order to bring you even more thrills as I return her to her initial desire to learn more about these creatures. And I have this feeling we might be getting some new companions as well...?!>-Yoshino Aoyama, the voice of Dot
>>288053211>Uruto has overcome so many challenges and bonded with so many during this year he's been a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, and I'm really happy he gets to continue going on adventures with them right away!>And it kind of feels like something new and different is about to happen as well...?!>Uruto has been growing little by little over the course of this year; What adventures await him and the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers now?!>The new chapter Wonder Voyage is filled to the brim with exciting moments, so please look forward to it!!>-Natsumi Fujiwara, the voice of Uruto
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2050165837609521278>We give you a mobile wallpaper calendar made by Mojacookie-san. May's calendar features TWO Captain Pikachu?! It looks like the Metamon that will be appearing in the new Wonder Voyage chapter is going to Transform into Cap!

>The Pocket Monsters Music Fest airs on the 30th anniversary of Pocket Monsters Red/Green's release! Cutie Street, who are responsible for the ending theme for the new chapter of the Pocket Monsters TV show (airs every Friday at 6:55pm), the "Wonder Voyage" arc, will be present there as well, performing their new song Cute na Cutai as a sneak preview before the new chapter actually starts! We interviewed the members of Cutie Street right after the recording of the music fest was done, asking them about things like the appeal of their song, about Pokémon in general, and about how their appearance on a Korean music show ended up going viral.
>>288054282>CUTIE STREET INTERVIEW:>Q: How did you feel when you learned Cutie Street's song Cute na Cutai was going to be an ending theme for the Pocket Monsters TV show?Emiru Kawamoto: All 8 of us were together when the staff made the surprise announcement that the song was going to be a Pokémon ending theme, which made us all so overjoyed we screamed in disbelief. Imagine, OUR song is going to be an ending theme for Pokémon, a show we've watched since we were little? It's like a dream come true.Risa Furusawa: We've been talking about how amazing it would be to do something like an anime theme song ever since our debut, so I'm really happy it ended up happening so soon.Nagisa Manabe: I'm really looking forward to all manners of people being able to give this song a listen, including both little children and Pokémon fans all over the world.Ayano Masuda: I've grown up watching Pokémon ever since I was little, so my family was really happy for me when I told them the news. It still feels like a dream that our song is going to be a part of the anime, and I'm incredibly excited about the possibility that this song will remind people of Pokémon when they hear it.Kana Itakura: I also used to watch Pokémon with my friends since I was little, so I would've liked to tell that younger self of mine that I'd get to be responsible for this ending theme in the future.Haruka Sakuraba: Our supportive fans love Pokémon as well, so they got absolutely overjoyed when it got announced that we were going to be responsible for this ending theme. I'm looking forward to our song reaching Pokémon fans all over the world.Aika Sano: To be quite honest, it still doesn't feel like this is really happening. I keep wondering what it's going to feel like to watch Pokémon on TV and suddenly have our song play during the ending.Miyu Umeda: I want to do my utmost to make our song become a hit all over the world just like Pokémon itself has become!
>>288054303>Q: What are some particularly noteworthy points about Cute na Cutai?Umeda: The catchy rhythm and lyrics both make the song a real earworm. I really like how the melody makes you want to hum along to it.Manabe: The lyrics include words that connect to the anime, like "monster ball".Masuda: The lyrics connect to the Pokémon story itself, with bits that go "Let's be companions" or "Let's set off on a one-of-a-kind journey".Itakura: The lyrics also include dialogue straight from the anime, and it felt really emotional when I watched those scenes and recognized the lines from the lyrics. Noticing the connection between the song and the anime is another fun element it has.Kawamoto: I really like the wonderful lyrics; They're filled with supportive phrases for people chasing their dreams, like "The future will no doubt be bright" or "Overcome any hardship", and it feels like they support not only children chasing their dreams, but also ourselves.Sano: Pay extra attention to the very first note of the song as well. The lyrics, the notes and the choreography all have these little Pokémon elements scattered throughout.Furusawa: Yes, the choreography includes movements that look like you're throwing a monster ball.Itakura: We were extremely particular about the monster ball choreography, practicing our hand movements over and over to make it look like we were actually holding monster balls, including making the imaginary balls the same size and the wrist motion for opening them. We want even little children to dance along to this song.
>>288054320>Q: What are your favorite Pokémon characters, and do you have any particularly notable memories related to them?Manabe: I love Mijumaru. It was love at first sight when I was little.Furusawa: I love Mawhip, it's so cute.Kawamoto: I really liked Pochama and Lucario when I was little, but recently I've been completely infatuated with Hogator. The way its eyes light up in admiration of Lizardon is so cute.Sano: I love Pochama, and I used to follow the Pochama Drawing Song to confidently draw pictures of it all over the place.Masuda: I love Emonga. The way its facial expression is constantly flip-flopping is just too cute and wholesome.Itakura: I really liked Mimirol when I was little, and I also remember being moved to tears when watching Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl the Movie: Giratina and the Sky Bouquet Shaymin, the movie Shaymin appears in. As of recent, I've been finding Nyahoja's moodyness and tsundere behavior to be really cute. The way it makes its jealousy so blatantly clear is just irresistably endearing.Sakuraba: I really like Upah; It was love at first sight when I first caught it in the Pokémon video game, and I made it part of my team immediately. I also got infatuated with Pippi when I met it at the Pokémon Music Fest.Umeda: I really like the Mythical Pokémon Mew because its name sounds like my name, "Miyu". I've also always loved Nymphia because it's so cute. Zenigame also really intrigues me due to it following me around at the Pokémon Music Fest, so I'm thinking of putting it on my team in the video game.
>>288054338>Q: Kawaii Lab., the idol project you're all part of, operates with the concept "From Harajuku to the World", and this March you blew up in Korea as well when you appeared on the Korean music show M Countdown. Now you're handling an ending theme for Pokémon, which is popular all over the world. You're truly in the process of taking huge steps "to the World", so what is Cutie Street's current situation, as well as ambitions for the future?Manabe: We've definitely noticed we've been getting more comments written in Korean on social media. I've recently started taking lessons in Korean as well as self-studying so that I can read all their messages. I consider the response we got in Korea to be "the first step", so I want to work towards getting people all over the world to listen to our songs.Kawamoto: During our concert in Korea, it felt like our Japanese idol "kawaii" elements, like the colorful costumes and the visuals, were appreciated, which gave us confidence that there's nothing wrong with the "kawaii" we present, or with Japanese idol culture in general. I believe that by continuing to cherish this concept of "kawaii" and present it with all our might, the appeal of Japanese idols might be able to reach audiences around the world, and I want to continue doing my best so that we'll be able to take that first step forward.>The Pocket Monsters Music Fest, which features Cutie Street, airs Friday May 15th at 6:55pm!>The new chapter of the Pocket Monsters TV show (airs every Friday at 6:55pm), which ending theme is handled by Cutie Street, premieres Friday May 22nd!
Is this the first time they market an ED over an OP?
DotLiko status?
>>288054401I think Nete mo Samete mo got a bit more promotion than Iolite did too.
>>288054547Idle >>288053036 >>288053069
>>288054205Probably. It looks like they're switching to promoting the music special now.
>>288054167These fuckers always just looked like Digimon to me.
>>288054880They are chinese.
>>288054897No wonder they look like bootlegs.
>>288053050Is this the final guest list?
fapped to porn of Dot
>>288055189Probably. They said there'd be more guests announced after they revealed the first batch, but not after the second.
>>288055189Didn't they say they were going to have international guests?
>>288055510>and even Pokémon songs by extravagant international artists?!Sounds like they're just going to play the songs, not have the actual artists there. The instagram account has a bunch of clips from songs from artists that aren't on the guest list.
>>288054004>my mind is full of fuck
>>288054129>>288054224Promo pics from the Instagram account:Kanata Hongo and Chocolate Planet

>>288056781Shizuku is a massive Ghost type dork
When are we going to get a LikoDot duet?
>>288057533Secret announcement during the special.
>>288056744That's an amazing kig.
>>288057290How would gyaru Liko and Dot act?
>>288058489Even gayer than usual.
>>288057533>>288057884Wish they had Aoyama there, it feels wrong to just have Minoringo and Terachan.
>>288054248>Just who are the Fake Rising Volt Tacklers...?Are they also gonna mischaracterize the crew members?
>>288060245Yup. So far we only have this one shot though.
>>288060238Yeah, they should've had her there as a guest even if she wasn't going to sing.
Fake DotLiko status?
>>288061508Probably straight, since Fake Dot looks like a man.
>>288056831Indeed she ishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swo8wqY5Jc8
>>288056675>the Liko kig is backNice. Haven't seen that in a while.
>>288062444Dot kig when
Memories of Maid Day
>>288056744Bunkei
>>288054320Sounds like the spiritual follow-up to Nete mo Samete mo. Good shit.
>>288064014Will it have DotLiko lyrics?
>>288064192If it's going to reference lines straight from the series, there's a decent chance I guess.
Interesting that they didn't do a promo tweet for the pokopia segment of the arc poster.
>>288054279No key visual tweet today, it seems. Makes sense, that picture of Cap and Metamon wouldn't have been a very logical one to end on.
>>288064934>>288064974Yeah, it makes sense, they've promoted that image of Metamon transformed into Cap enough times by now there's nothing new they can say about it.
>>288065365It's basically the exact same picture as this one anyway >>288053234So they basically made their comment already.
Maidot and her master
>>288066389
>>288066389This feels like it's based on something.
>>288066788Just a Dekanuchan reference I think.
Can Roy be saved?
>>288067169Not really. That's why they introduced Uruto in the first place.
>Pocket Monsters Music Fest Highlights:>In addition to Pokémon-themed song, rap and dance segments, the show will also have a special feature presenting Pokémon songs sung by legendary artists from around the world! >And not only that, we'll also show a recording of "Volt Tackle" from the recent PokéMiku Live! concert that was part of the Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku: Project VOLTAGE collaboration with Hatsune Miku!
>>288067446Fug
>>288067446Damn, this feels a lot "bigger" than the previous music show.

https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2054427389502046640>Pokémon Anime Wonder Voyage:>"Watch the Key Visual, Mon!" We present intriguing parts of the key visual for the new chapter we'll be plunging into on Friday May 22nd! It looks like Metamon has tried to Transform into Captain Pikachu!
>>288067975Oh hey, we got a tweet about that pic after all.
>>288067975>didn't namedrop Poco a Pokémon Huh
>>288067989Considering the nothing description and the oddly late post, it feels like they just threw it together at the last second after people commented about them not posting it earlier.
SOON
>>288068001Nothing here is really based on the game, they're just putting a Metamon in the show because it's a very relevant Pokemon right now.
>>288068228Yeah, they didn't namedrop ZA or Champions when they posted the Mega Tairetsu pic either
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2054441530627400145>A batch of Pokémon anime episodes 133-135 is now available for streaming at the official Pokémon Youtube channel! This lets you binge everything up until the most recent episode, episode 136, which is currently available for streaming there as well. In episode 135, the 18 Teras Type Pokémon assembled. However, Indi and Rubella, the subordinates of Spinel from the Explorers, then sent out a pair of Marumine...
>>288068466What happened to these fags anyway?
>>288068508Probably got arrested.
Rubella and Indi were a mistake. We should've had more brat appearances instead.
>>288067743Ayano Masuda
>>288068167Wonder Voyage should've been a series about this trio traveling around desu
>>288053986What do you think about Navi getting Ogerpon?
>>288069246Ogerpon is brat only.
>>288069246If anyone in the group is getting it, Liko makes the most sense.
>>288067446>Pokémon songs sung by legendary artists from around the world!Sounds like this is just going to be a music video collage or something, not live performances.
>>288069560What is it anyway, Korean songs?
>>288069599It says legendary artists, so it's probably from that international song thing they did some years ago with the guy that sang about sec sex with Lugia.
>>288069672>guy that sang about sec sex with Lugia.What
>>288069768They had an American-operated Pokemon concert for the 25th anniversary featuring a bunch of "big name" western artists singing random non-Pokemon songs while Pokemon animation played in the background. One of them was some guy singing a song that included the lyrics "it was just the sex though" as an animated Lugia flew past him.
>>288068843Ryo Kato
>>288069860Emiru Kawamoto
>>288069825I hate the west so much it's unreal.
>>288069825Amazing.
>>288068843>>288069873So what's with all the random kigs of mons unrelated to PM23?
>>288069994They only have so many of those suits and if they way furries talk about those type of things I assume they're expensive to make.Why not use 'em if they got 'em?
>>288069994At least the Cutie Street girls seem to be posing with starts color-coded to their dresses.
>>288069825The less westshitters are involved with this franchise the better.
>>288070425We never saw what happened to that dress, did we? Does she still have it?
>>288070597Botan probably put it back in her backpack after Dot took it off
>>288053050Weird they're giving us a guest list, but not a song list.
>>288071171Eh, you can kinda tell the song list from the guest list.asmi - Dokimeki DiaryMasayoshi Oishi - Pokemon All StarsCutie Street - Cute na CutaiMinori Suzuki and Yuka Terasaki - Sekai TsunagarePolkadot Stingray - Nete mo samete moMe:I - Ready Go

>>288071721>>288071731Cute
>>288071957Oh yeah.
>>288071845Just make a fucking Dot kig already, it's not that hard!
>>288072275They need the money for more Roy kigs.
>>288072646>>288072646Why does Liko get all the lewdmons?
>>288072684She has a very attractive body.
>>288072721Will Liko's likos grow any bigger?
>>288073625If Dot keeps massaging them they might.
>>288072721And very thirsty mons.
No one give a shit about the music festival. If they did, this thread wouldn't need saving from me.
>>288075750I do.
>>288071676Feels like very few songs for a full hour.
>>288075991They're going to have a bunch of other segments too, it's not just song performances.
>>288076382Imagine getting to play with those thighs as much as you want.... Dot is such a lucky girl.
Where's Suguri?
>>288077099At Blueberry, unfortunately.
>>288077099Hospitalized after too much bullying by the brat.
>>288077588Sauce?
Couple seconds of footage if you're willing to put up with low quality watermarked bullshit.
>>288053928This was such a great scene. I can see it becoming one of those iconic series-defining moments in the future.
>>288079125Here anon, full trailer in proper quality. It's been on Youtube for weeks.
>>288079867Wait, where is this from? It's not on the official Pokemon Youtube channel from what I can see
>>288079937It's on the TV Tokyo youtube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MIaBLk4krs
>>288071845>>288071957>>288072055They should've made a Sango kig.
>>288071957Potentially.
>>288079978Thanks. Been looking for this, I've seen it on TV a couple times but could never find it online.
>>288080021The world would not have survived that.
>>288071676>Masayoshi Oishi - Pokemon All StarsWhich one's that?
>>288079867>Cap fighting againFeels like ages.Yeah, I know he helped during the Rakulium Core battle, but so did literally everyone.

>>288080362Oh, that one. That's not anime related though, is it?
>>288080448Not everything here is anime related >>288067446
>>288080539
>>288080507There's the PokeDance segment too.
>>288056656
Were we getting Corocoro tomorrow?
>>288080688I think it was Friday?
>>288080688Yeah.
>>288080773It's out in about 18 hours, whether you want to consider that tomorrow or Friday is up to you (and I guess your timezone)
Corocoro is unlikely to have anything other than the Wonder Voyage key visual and some generic blurbs similar to the ones we've been getting from the official twitter.
>>288080896It might have some news on Navi.
>>288078619Lewdko
Is Dekanuchan part of Dot's harem?
What DID they mean by this?
>>288081396The majority of writing decisions involving Liko seem to just be the writers seeing how many fetishes they can sneak in.
>>288081522>>288081696The Ogerpon arc (featuring Momowarou) is going to be fun.
Liko is the gift that keeps giving.
>>288081522>>288082012Bless these writers and animators.
>>288053614>>288053641>>288053675>>288053908>>288053986>>288054105>>288054167>>288067975So is this all going to be covered in roughly 6 months?
>>288082283Either 6 or 3, depends on whether we get another key visual next cour or not.
>>288082495It's probably going to be 6 months, stuff like the legendaries is obviously going to get multiple episodes.
At this point we've kind of moved away from the "one chapter 2 cours" system anyway, so it's hard to tell just how long Wonder Voyage itself is going to be.
>>288082283Very hard to say yet considering neither of the two announced episodes involve any of this stuff.
>>288082684If they give each set of legendaries 4 or so episodes, that's 3 cours in itself.
>>288069873Miyu Umeda
>>2880834613ji no Heroine
>>2880834803ji no Heroine will be performing the Rising Volt Tacklers Rap in front of this panel of judges, being forced to start over if they mess up.

>>288083737>this is why Pagogo stayed behind in Rakua
>>288083480How is it even possible to become this fat in Japan?
>>288083461Cutest Cutie.
So are the individual members of Cutie Street called cuties?
New Liko from Kaede Ciao.
>>288084538Pure sex.
>>288084538Thigh goddess.
>>288084455No, but the official term for their fans is actually "Cutest"

We present intriguing parts of the key visual for the new chapter we'll be plunging into on Friday May 22nd! Don't miss learning how this adventure will involve Metamon and the mysterious girl Navi!
>>288085017Oh, didn't expect them to do a tweet about the middle portion as well.
>>288084538Dot is SUCH a lucky girl.
>>288085066Makes sense since it's the only part that has Navi in it.
>>288084538>>288085081I really wish Kaede would draw Dot some times too.
>>288085017VA reveal when?
>>288085017Remove Roy
>>288085911Extremely cute and gay.
>>288085017That's one of the cuter official Dots.
Here to clean up Spinel’s mess.
>>288081241No, that’s her daughter.
Heh
>>288086321
>>288086360This should've happened.
>>288085017Ok, NOW they've been through the entire key visual. Wonder how they're going to promote Wonder Voyage next week.
>>288086681Probably teasing the OP and ED animation, since we already get the songs this week.
The start of Mega Voltage from Dot's perspective.
>>288086872
>>288086884
>>288086900
>>288086918She needs a hug.
>>288086794Yeah, I can see that. They did it for one of the earlier OPs I think.
>>288087054She needs a Liko. Thankfully she got one.
>>288083480Shunta Sono
>>288087318Pikachu. Clearly.
>>288087338I like how this is how you make a Metamon kig.
>>288087600I don't really like it, it's the fave one specific Meyamon made in an old episode,but Rz s were small and didn't understand much yet.
>>288086872>>288086884>>288086900>>288086918I wish we had got an episode like this back then. Probably would've been as too depressing.
>>288088520I guess what this is trying to say is that theweird "Metamon face" was originally a flaw only one specific Metamon had, which got fixed in the episode it appeared in too, so it makes no sense for it to be this common way to recognize them. Which I guess makes sense, but it's really the one way you have to draw what's recognizable a transformed Metamon.
>>288088520>>288089610To be fair, the profile for Navi's Metamon does say it can't transform properly.
>>288089902It does?
>>288090034
What's wrong with the official Twitter account? It's not posting anything today for some reason.
>>288091176The Twitter intern fell asleep again.
>>288089610It also matches how they look in Poco a Pokemon.
>>288091176That's really weird.
>>288091377I assume this is the actual reason they're doing it.

It will even include performances of the theme songs for the new chapter of the Pokémon anime, so make sure to check it out, okay?
>>288091377>>288091537Bit of both. They've been using that "incomplete face" look a ton in all kinds of media, including the original Pokemon Snap and various TCG cards.
>>288092071>>288054129Basically the same tweets.

So I guess this means no further performers will be announced?
>>288092294Yeah, probably not.It's weird, it feels like so few.
>>288092294>>288092357It makes sense if they're going to have all these other segments as well. It's only an hour.

Cap is the ultimate haremchad.
Of COURSE they have a Yellow Shillcario kig there
Clefairy is such an odd mon to promote here.
>>288092602Didn't even know they had a kig for it.
>>288092602>>288092641They had this big "Otsukimi Pippi" project back in 2023 that included a couple "live appearances" of Pippi, I assume the kig was created for that:https://web.archive.org/web/20230908061834/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/otsukimi_pippi/2023/230908_02/
>>288092725It was on Pokedoko too, which is why I half remembered it.
>>288092725>>288092737So basically >>288070049Might as well use it since they still had it sitting around since back then.
I assume this kig is new at least >>288087338
>>288089171>we only got one solo Dot episode during that period, and it involved one of the worst characters of the day in the entire franchiseIt hurts a bit.
>>288092496Conisch's orchestra

>>288092759Weird that they have the Kanto starter kigs but not the ZA starter ones.
Cute and gay
>>288092496>>288093073Reminder that Conisch is going to be on Pokedoko this Sunday too.
>>288091176I guess they're trying to focus on Instagram to promote this special. Weird choice.
>>288093526They've been posting SOME promo stuff on Twitter though.
>>288093489Sono too.
>>288093378The more laidback nature of Wonder Voyage will hopefully mean more cute DotLiko scenes.
>>288069825Holy shit I forgot all about this. What the hell were they thinking?
>>288090624I remember anons speculating that Metamon would come from the other airship the fakes in episode 138 have, but the wording here makes it sound like it IS on the Brave Asagi.
