https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2065313152427036715>Friday is Pokémon Anime Day! Gurumin and Mini-Gurumin are rehearsing for the bread festival, and Liko wants to see the "Miniguru Dance" they're going to perform during the show... but Masquernya covers her eyes! When Metamon sees Liko like this, it immediately starts laughing, making it unable to maintain its disguise! Is it really going to be able to handle the actual show?
>It has been announced that Toshiya Miyata-san from the 6-man group Kis-My-Ft2 will be appearing in the Pocket Monsters anime (airs every Friday at 6:55pm) as a guest voice actor during episode 141, "Ready Go! Unite Battle!!", airing June 19th! This episode will be a collab with Pokémon Unite, and Miyata-san will be playing the leader of the both popular and skilled Unite Battle idol team Shining Oceans.
>>288670518>In this episode, Liko and the other Rising Volt Tacklers will try playing a Unite Battle on Aeos Island, the setting of Pokémon Unite. The unique Unite Battles, which features both Unite Battle-exclusive special moves called Unite Moves as well as the appearances of Legendary Pokémon, proves to be quite the though fight for Liko and the others. The Shining Oceans' leader, played by Miyata, will be taking them on using a Negigaknight as his Partner.
>>288670529>Miyata will also be appearing on the TV Tokyo Network show Pokémon to Doko Iku?! (airs every Sunday at 7:30am) for 3 weeks in a row starting with the episode airing May 31st. The June 14th episode is scheduled to include a report from his dubbing session as well.

>Make an episode about bread>Have already bread merch>Don't release a wave of bread based on the designs from the episodeBrillant, another missed tie-in to the k/d marketing ratio.
>>288670558>June 19th: PM2023 141 - Ready Go! Unite Battle!!>Friede invites the Rising Volt Tacklers to participate in a Unite Battle?! They're going up against the Shining Oceans, an idol team which popularity and skill are both top class! This is Liko and the others' first ever time experiencing a Unite Battle, and their strong opponents give them quite a tough fight. The key to victory is going to be strategy, teamwork, as well as Unite Moves...?!>Screenplay 土屋理敬 (Michihiro Tsuchiya)>Storyboard 浅田裕二 (Yūji Asada)>Episode Director 浅田裕二 (Yūji Asada)>Animation Director 岩根雅明 (Masaaki Iwane)>Animation Director 志村泉 (Izumi Shimura)>A comment from Toshiya Miyata, the voice of the Shining Oceans' leader:>I've been watching the Pokémon anime since I was a kid, so I'm really happy to get the chance to be part of it. I believe I'm the best Pokémon Unite player in showbiz, so I was thinking about how this might be a role I'm actually qualified to play as I performed my lines with my heart filled with love for Pokémon!
>>288670568The Pokemon Pan line is low-cost and usually generic-shaped, doing a wave based on the designs from this episode would be too expensive.
>>288670386>Gurumin tastes like strawberry I knew it
>>288670586>Change the shape to resemble GuruminDone
Last call, will Nyabby Girl make a cameo appearance today?
>>288670614I think the most they've done to the designs in the past is Pikachu print mini pancakes.
>>288670629I think we'll get a tiny cameo in a crowd scene like we did last time.
>>288670629A design this good needs as many appearances as possible.
>>288670629Yeah, I think so.
>>288670569I expect enormous amounts of shilling for this episode next week. Maybe we'll even get a dedicated trailer in addition to the regular preview.
>>288670724Pokedoko is going to shill it on Sunday.
>>288670724I can see us getting a special preview in place of the Friede segment that talks about all the tie-in stuff. The twitter account hasn't promoted it all that much yet.
I want to lick Liko's feet
>>288670874We know, Masquernya.
>>288670906I approve of these designs for the next swimsuit episode.
>>288670932Same, and give Navi one too.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2065358445621268835>Gurumin decides to include Metamon in the bread festival show after having it Transform into her ... but just before the show starts, it goes missing?! If you want see how you find a Metamon once it's tried to Transform... Watch the Pokémon anime episode coming up soon at 6:55pm, mon!
>>288671110What a scumbag Pokemon.
>>288671110
>>288671125
>>288671135
>>288671125Well, there's our answer to >>288670477
>>288671125That's actually really cool looking.
>>288671153It was in the preview as well. Also B is clearly written to sound like one of Abareru-kun's puns, it was never meant as a serious option.
Where's my man Zir?
>>288671198He's not very supportive of his oshi.
>>288671198I think he might get a cameo too.
>>288671110God fucking damn this thing is adorable.
>>288671110What's with the constant "mon" these days?
>>288671410"mon" as in MetaMON, it's the catchphrase of sorts for Wonder Voyage. Especially in the "Watch Pokemon, mon" form.
>>288668094Are you smocking something? Pokémon 2023 TV rating is all times low. Even SM series went toe to toe with Precure.> But Nico NicoRanked almost at the bottom because of low viewership on NicoNico rankings. Rating mean nothing when viewership is low
>>288671435I'm just happy we're finally done with "Mega don't megavert your eyes".
10 minutes.
Is Liko going to steal Dot's virginity?
>>288671474>going toAnon...
>>288671464Ready.
Thought that beyblade girl was naked in the ED for a second there.
Let's do this.
Oh, we're back to recaps?
Mon
Stop bullying the hammer loli
This is amazing, I can see how it went viral.
Navi fucking when
Dot needs a hug
>Metamon actually thinks it's helpingCute
Fucking Uruto
This is even funnier than last week.
Ah, they do call it Miniguru
This looks bizarre
Liko is having dirtt thoughs
Liko probably fucks the costume when Dot isn’t looking.
Liko's brain just broke
>Liko just orgasmed from being called Nyahoja Daisukikko
Uruto you fucking idiot.
That fire bird is growing on me.
Masquernya is so jealous
Dot back in her undershirt!
That cat is getting very touchy.
The cat is 5 seconds from doing something untoward.
>another retard with an obnoxious verbal ticCan we not?
>>28867163410/10 episode just for that.
Um
>>288671659Fuck
Ditto is fucking suicidal
What a little shit of a kid.
I wonder how Ditto tastes.
Metamon clearly isn't thinking more than a few seconds ahead
This episode has been top tier so far, I expect a really high rating on Nicolive.
>>288670798Not today, apparently. They usually announce them in the sponsor card if we get one.
The Poco a Pokemon Metamon REALLY looks like Dot here
>>288671684>oh shit, people EAT food?!
Ditto is a fucking trashbin.
I love how it's just trying to help, but is just incredibly stupid.
Uruto’s stupid dance will save the day.
This is why you catch your mons in a ball
>>288671731I hope it gets recorded and shown to Matiere.
Actually a pretty good plan
The dogs didn't have as big a role as I expected.
mini gurumin makes me feel very maternal
Blue a CUTE
>no Zir>no Nyabby GirlLiko keeps being the best fan
Gurumin is Squidward and Ditto is Spongebob.
Roy's two brain cells finally interacted.
>they made Miniguru bread tooCute
>>288671634HOT
God damn, Liko, calm DOWN
This episode sure was animated in China
Fun episode, but could have used a character of the day to focus on a bit more.
>>288671822Yeah, this was a poor showcase for Bowtzel. And I assume this was meant to be its showcase episode considering Friede did his segment on it.
>>288671803Being this horny isn't healthy.
Fucking Zapdos?!
>Dot hiding behind Liko
>>288671858We knew legendaries would appear >>288670529
>>288671865Reverse of their Pokémon.
>>288671865She makes her feel safe.
DotLiko status?
>>288671918breaded
>>288671834That, but also, compared to previous Gurumin episodes this one felt vapid. A lot of silly moments which is fun, but they were largely just wandering around. Whether it be pig girl, Nyabiko or Zir, these kinds of episodes work better when the focus is on a character outside of the team. The idea of understanding Ditto better (I assume that’s the theme) works, but the actual content of the around that felt aimless.
So besides the sirfetch'd and zoroark the enemy team also has a vaporeon... I don't know anything about unite but I like to imagine this is horrible team composition.
Gonna expect the Ditto to become basically a substitute for any Pokemon that Navi becomes interested in.
That little wad of gum stole his job!
>>288672123I like how Ditto has a size limit to it's tranformations
>>288672123What a fucking piece of shit.

When will it pop in again?
>>288670629No.
When exactly will Navi pop in?
I need more moments of Liko blushing because of Dot and not Gurumin.
>>288672617Too bad, that won't happen.
>>288672617Her heart belongs to Gurumin.
Discriminating against fat crocodiles.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2065381094388826448>The Pokémon anime episode airing Friday June 19th will be a collaboration with Pokémon Unite! And the person playing the leader of the Shining Oceans, the team Liko and the others will be battling, is going to be Toshiya Miyata-san from Kis-My-Ft2! We asked him how he felt when he learned he was going to be a voice actor:Miyata: Hello everyone, this is Toshiya Miyata from Kis-My-Ft2! This time I'm going to be a guest voice actor in the Pokémon anime! Yay! The protagonists Liko and Roy and the others are going to visit Aeos Island, which you all know from Pokémon Unite, where they'll be trying their hands on a Unite Battle, and I'm going to play the leader of their opponents the Shining Oceans! Just learning the initial details about this role made me really happy; I've actually always watched the Pokémon anime ever since I was a kid, so I'm really happy to get the chance to be part of it like this. And then I heard it was going to be a Pokémon Unite episode, too. And well, this might sound a bit conceited, but you see... I happen to be the best Pokémon Unite player in showbiz, so I found myself thinking that this might be a role I'm actually qualified to play, you know. In the end, though, I of course performed my lines with my heart filled with love for Pokémon! With that said, the Pocket Monsters TV show airs every Friday at 6:55pm on the TV Tokyo Network. The leader of the Shining Oceans, who's played by me, will appear in episode 141, "Ready Go! Unite Battle!!", airing Friday June 19th! Make sure to focus on his Unite Battle against the Rising Volt Tacklers as you... Watch Pokémon, mon! This has been Toshiya Miyata. See you.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2065384870076092719>What did you think of Pokémon anime episode 140, "The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread: Mini-Gurumin!!"? The Gurumin Bread that got revealed at the bread festival was so cute Liko couldn't bring herself to eat it... but then Masquernya nabbed a bite. The Youtube upload is an absolute must watch, and is sure to make you hungry!
>>288672841Can’t jump.
>>288672980So this was the full message this >>288670569 came from, then.
>>288672980He sounds less douchy here. They didn't do a great job shortening his comment.
>>288673033That cat is going to kill Dot soon.
So what rating do you expect for this episode?
>>28867313289. Cute and gay and funny.
>>288673132100/100 Best thing since sliced bread
>>288673154Perfect.
>>288672613Probably in 142. They just want to focus on the Unite promo stuff for now.
>>288672575Also nearly fainted from her orgasm
Yare yare da ze
>>28867313290. Let's hit the top of the list.
>>288673260The cat knows she can't compete againts Dot.
>>288673279She can sabotage >>288670513 >>288673033
>>288673272Yeah, I'd say this was the best post-timeskip episode.Definitely the best Wonder Voyage episode.
>>288673384What's the highest rated post-timeskip episode?
>>288673396Picrel.With the Fake Rising Volt Tacklers episode from two weeks ago in a very close second, and the Momowarou episode in third.
>>288673418This but with Dot and Metamon turned into a second Dot when?
>>288673418That episode definitely was something.
>>288673208Yeah, I think so too. The Unite episode feels kinda out of place in this entire stretch of episodes.
>>288673468Moa needs to draw more Likos.
>Liko's hip era startsArtists please take note
>>288673157>>288673184>>288673272Missed the boat a bit.
>>288673653Aw come on, it was better than that.
>>288673653Bit of a dip since last week, third highest rated Wonder Voyage episode.
>>288673721Nice to see Wonder Voyage has been well received on the whole.
>>288673649Dot looks awkward.
>>288673895She's not a shorts person.
Does Liko fuck her pokemon?
>>288673989No, but her Pokemon are trying to change that. >>288673033
>>288673653Episode as a whole kinda just cycled through 2 or 3 jokes so honestly this probably generous.
>>288674130But they were funny jokes.
>>288673989When no one is looking.
Do we still have no info on the 26th?
>>288674230Nope. They're too far into Unite shill mode now to want to promote what happens later.
>>288673649I know an excellent way to train them.
Here's a starter trio (plus evos) I've made for Kitakami. What do you think?
>>288673991
>>288672980Still no info on Kanade's role though?
>>288674752Looks like they're indeed saving it for Pokedoko.
>>288673649I predict a lot of art of both Liko and Dot in these outfits.
>>288675071I'm half surprised there isn't anything yet.

>>288681169Sexy bread.
Just realized Gurumin's bread show started at 3 o'clock, as in "3 o'clock snack" ("San-ji", the same term Sanji from One Piece got his name from).There were lots of fun little touches this ep.
Hi anons, sorry I'm late, was there anything you wanted translated or clarified from today's episode?
>>288682036What was the name of the bakery that invited Gurumin? Something about "gorilla"?
>>288682132"Bakery Tongri-La", a portmanteau of "tong" and "Shangri-La"
>>288682181Ooh, that makes more sense. Thanks.
>>288682036Why is Liko so horny?
>>288682267Because she's in love.
>>288681672Also, the Dendimushi bread was a type of mushipan (Japanese steamed cake). There were all kinds of untranslatable little puns like that throughout the episode.
>>288682360I caught "Mimirol mimirolls"
>>288682486Technically that'd be "Mimirol ear rolls", ie rolls shaped like Mimirol ears.Stuff like this never translates well because it's so dependent on the exact sound of the Japanese wording.

Can we say that Liko canonically has a celebrity crush on Gurumin?
>>288688081Not a CELEBRITY crush.

Metamon went viral under the name "Miniguru", and here we see it smiling from ear to ear after being cheered on by its fans. Check out the Miniguru Dance everyone did in the Yotube upload as well, okay?
>>288688759That's fucking kawaii.
>the RVT are famous>Liko, Roy, Uruto and Gurumin walk across a crowded festival street alongside the first three's Pokémon plus Dot'sI WONDER WHO GURUMIN MAY BE
Any instance of Dot hiding behind Liko I'm missing? These are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
>>288688976They're not, though. It was that one particular family that latched onto them, everyone else are Mighty G fans and only know the RVTs from Spinel's accusation, probably not being able to pick them out in a crowd.
>Liko got her own private showWill the favoritism ever end?
>Niseliko aka Mommy Liko has surprisingly high amount of "art" on Pixiv despite only appearing once>more unique characters like Nyabbiko don't have this luxuryHow did she do it?

>>288690058What? I'm pretty sure Nyabby Girl has more art than Fake Liko.
>>288690058It's the closest thing to being able to draw an official adult Liko being fucked.

https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2065735934990278838>The Wonder Voyage Pokémon anime episode airing Friday June 19th will be a collab with Pokémon Unite! (airdate and airtime may vary depending on region) The opening animation likewise shows Captain Pikachu confronting a Zoroark before scoring a goal! What's going to happen in the group's first ever Unite Battle?!
>>288690064Was that this month's special illustration? I don't remember when we got the previous one.
>>288690160Yeah they're going to shill this episode hard.
>>288690187The last Afterstory was in May, during the break before Wonder Voyage started.
>>288690262Huh, thought we got one after that too, guess we didn't.
>>288690064Gurumin butt
>>288690338Butt shaking is a proud Pokemon tradition
>>288690160Probably doesn't mean but... but all the promos show pikachu vs zoroark and the trailer has that plus meowscarda vs sirfetch'd and sableye vs vaporeon...Weird for a team based game. C'mon, at least one of them has to get a kill steal and then be called a slur.
>>288690058Pixiv is pretty worthless these days desu. Most artists fucked off to Twitter after it became overrun with AIslop and westerners.
Dot is a boy
>>288690984A tomboy
>>288690064Masquernya finally realized how to get Liko to notice her
>>288689021Dot being gay for Liko is a nice change of pace after mostly seeing the opposite.
Cute and gay
>>288692118
>>288692156They NEED to make Mini-Gurumin plushies.
I love all the new Metamon art that's popping up these days.
>they changed the twitter profile pic back to the old oneGay
>>288692694What did it use to be?
>>288692754
>>288692868Yeah, that one should've stayed for all of Wonder Voyage.
>>288692156cute cute cute
The Liko skin in Unite actually looks pretty good.

>>288693416Contrary to the popular belief of EOPs like you, -kun is not necessarily restricted to male subjects.
>>288693977I am aware, obviously compensating EOP-kun, but it still looks incredibly incorrect in this context.
>Miniguru went viral in the real world tooNice
>>288671198>>288671310Fan artists correct the obvious error in the episode.

>>288694705Justice for our man.
>>288694705This feels like something that could've been an Afterstory drawing.
>>288694705Nyabby Girl doko

>>288699378No, they still haven't said. Most likely they won't, if they were going to perform they'd have said so.
>>288699831Anything anime related next week? I assume Cutie Street haven't been confirmed to perform then.
>>288700123It mentions the usual anime recap segment is going to focus on Kuwassu, and thus presumably also on Dot.

>Toshiya Miyata from Kis-My-Ft2 will be appearing as a guest voice actor in the Pocket Monsters TV show (airs every Friday at 6:55pm, officially abbreviated "Anipoke") in episode 141, "Ready Go! Unite Battle!!" airing on the 19th! In his early chilhood, Miyata was really into the Pocket Monsters video games and used to learn dialogue from the Pokémon anime by heart, and these days he's obsessed with Pokémon Unite as well. What is Pocket Monsters to him? We've just had a lengthy talk with him about everything from his memories of the experience that changed his life to how he prepared for the role he's going to play in the anime now.
>>288701800>Episode 141 is a Pokémon Unite collab episode, where Miyata will be playing the leader of the both popular and skilled idol team Shining Oceans.>Q: First off, how did you feel when you first learned you had been cast in this role?Miyata: Yeah, it made me really happy. The Pokémon anime is the kind of show where you have to wait a week between each episode, you know, so I was the kind of kid that used to rewatch the same episode over and over, memorizing all the dialogue and then reciting the entire episode to myself under my breath on the way to school (laughs). Those old memories instantly came back to me the moment I received this news.However, it's precisely because I love this show so much that I felt I had to blend properly into its setting. It just wouldn't be right if my happiness bled too heavily into the role; I was going to be "The leader of the Shining Oceans", not "Toshiya Miyata"... so I felt very nervous when I went to the dubbing session.>Q: Did you focus on anything specific when you played the leader of the Unite Battle idol team Shining Oceans?Miyata: I was wondering what the other members of the team looked like, so I paused the video they gave me in order to check. I think there's all kinds of different types of leaders out there, but the fact that all these members with all these different personalities and individual desires chose to follow his lead made me realize he's a very reliable one. He looks very sharp and clean-cut, so I tried working out on my own whether he was supposed to be a passionate and enthusiastic guy or not.
>>288701827The other day, when I met my master Daisuke Namikawa, the man who taught me voice acting, he told me he had heard I was going to have a role in the Pokémon anime, and went on to explain how this show has you be a Trainer who issues orders to Pokémon rather than fight yourself, and that the way you deliver your lines might change quite a bit if you keep a little focus on that.During the actual dubbing session itself, there were several moments that were quite different from what I had prepared for in advance. The voice director also told me my delivery had to be calmer and more composed, which made me realize I shouldn't play the role as all THAT enthusiastic. There's always going to be some differences between how you imagine a character and what the actual creators had in mind, and I think I was able to play the character as a wonderful leader by understanding what they were going for and taking their direction into account.Kis-My-Ft2 doesn't have a leader, so I don't really have a good grasp on what a "leader" is supposed to be like. However, actually watching real-life professional Pokémon Unite teams and seeing teenagers coordinate their teams as leaders really helped me understand what it feels like to have one.When we battled together in Pokémon Unite, with me calling myself "Miyatti", the leader would really act like one, telling me things like "Miyatti, wait up" or "Miyatti, I can't see you". I think I might have been able to bring that intuition I especially gained from seeing these professional teams and their leaders in action into my acting.
>>288701846>Q: In this episode you have a Negigaknight as your Partner.Miyata: Yeah, and Negigaknight looks cuter and cuter the more I look at it. I battle with Eifie a lot when I play Pokémon Unite myself, and when I got to be head cheerleader for the Pokémon Unite Asia Champions League 2026, I'd constantly talk about Eifie... so when I was told I was going to be a guest voice actor in the Pokémon anime, I was wondering if I'd have an Eifie as my partner. And then it turned out to be a Negigaknight of all things. Now I battle with Negigaknight all the time, and I've made it my partner.>Q: We actually asked the anime staff why they went with Negigaknight as your character's partner, and they explained that the Pokémon Unite team suggested it, telling them that this would be the best team composition for a veteran team battling the protagonists.Miyata: That makes a lot of sense! The Negigaknight used by skilled opponents I've played against are really strong, to the point I have no idea how I'm supposed to defeat them. I thought Negigaknight was really difficult to use at first, but after actually trying it out in battle, I found it to be both complex and fun.
>>288701866>Q: You already mentioned how you used to memorize an entire Pokémon anime episode's worth of dialogue every week and then recite it to yourself on your way to school back when you were in elementary. Do you have any other Pokémon-related memories?Miyata: I have lots. Pocket Monsters Red/Green were released in 1996, so they celebrate their 30th anniversary this year. I was in elementary that year, and played on a boys' soccer team. I wanted the game so badly I told my mother I wanted her to buy me Pokémon, and she told me that she'd buy it for me if I scored a goal in my next match. My position on the field was pretty far back, but during that match I suddenly whooshed forward, shouted for the ball, got it, and scored.Since that meant my mother would buy me Pokémon, I just stood there zoning out to the point they told me I was getting substituted due to my lack of enthusiasm. But since staying on the bench meant I didn't have to run anymore, and I was getting Pokémon bought for me when I got home anyway, I was past the point of caring what anyone said (laughs).And thus I started playing Pokémon, told my mother I was quitting soccer, and got completely obsessed with the game... And that's the story of how I first encountered the Pokémon franchise (laughs). Honestly though, even if I had kept playing soccer I really doubt I'd have been able to become a J League player, so I think I made the right decision when I chose Pokémon back then (laughs).
>>288701885Q: If you hadn't made that decision, maybe we wouldn't even have had a "nowadays" to talk about.Miyata: Indeed. I mean, there's maybe just one person at an entire school that will be able to become a J League player. I wasn't even one of the better players on my team, so in that context, getting exposed to Pokémon was a lot more significant for me. Whenever my parents would tell me to go to the park instead of just staying at home all the time, I'd put my Game Boy in my pocket, go to the park, play Pokémon there until it started getting dark, then put the Game Boy back in my pocket and go home... I feel like Pokémon was always there with me back in elementary after I made that incredible encounter.
>>288701900>Q: Do you have any memories from Pokémania that really stuck with you? "Pokémon Ieru Ka Na?" was a massive hit back then too, wasn't it?Miyata: Yes, I used to sing that as well! I'm very much the type who succeeds through hard work rather than natural talent, and I thus put a lot of hard work into this anime role as well, but the Miyata family isn't actually known for being particularly good singers. I found the rhythm in the rap parts of the song really hard back then, so I practiced it over and over. I seriously wanted to be like Imakuni? at the time.Even after I became a Johnny's Jr. I kept playing Pokémon all the time on the Odakyu Line while commuting to jobs and lessons. I got signed when I was in 6th grade, so that would've been in 2001. Pocket Monsters Gold/Silver had been released by then, and I was playing that on my Game Boy Color. A friend of mine had a level 100 Lugia, and it would hit me with Aeroblast and knock me out instantly. I didn’t stand a chance.Due to my career I had a lot less time to play than my friends, which was really frustrating. It's pretty admirable that I didn't just up and quit because of that, though. I dropped being a soccer player, but not a Johnny's Jr. (laughs)I've always liked the Pokémon from the Kanto region, and the peak of my youth was the 151 era of Pocket Monsters Red/Green. My absolute favorite Pokémon is still Mew to this day; It can learn so many moves and do anything it wants, and I really like the idea of it being powerful despite being cute. I also really enjoyed Pocket Monsters the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back because I loved Mew and Mewtwo so much.
>>288701920>Q: You're apparently really obsessed with Pokémon Unite in your private life as well, aren't you?Miyata: Yeah, I play the game while getting my makeup put on, and then I end up making these frustrated grunts when I lose, and the makeup artist tells me I should just quit playing if the game makes me so angry. "I want to quit too", I reply. "I'd quit if I could, but I'm too addicted. It's so fun!" (laughs)And thus I constantly find myself wondering if I'm winning today and such as the makeup artist is carefully doing my makeup. I always feel a bit guilty about it, but I still continue playing. Pokémon Unite is just part of my life at this point, like brushing teeth.>Q: So what is Pocket Monsters to you?Miyata: I'll... probably love it until I die. I think I'll love it forever.The franchise is always doing all these new and cutting-edge things, so strangely enough it's kind of my rival in the entertainment field. We in Kis-My-Ft2 are always thinking about wanting to create new types of entertainment, while Pokémon is involved in so many types of entertainment already.When I attended the Pokémon World Championships 2023 in Yokohama, it was all so massive, and it even had its own drone show. And now they've opened Poképark Kanto as well, expanding their range of entertainment even further. Then there's the Pokémon Centers, which feel super exciting even before you walk in through the door. My local Pokémon Center is the one in Shibuya Parco, and they have Mewtwo standing by the door, so I'm enjoying myself from the moment I walk in.Pokémon excites you from the moment you arrive, and even on your journey there as well. It's showing us all how entertainment is done.
>>288701931>Q: Finally, do you have something you want to tell the viewers or any highlights of the episode you want to bring up?Miyata: I think this turned out to be an anime episode that will make a lot more people want to play the Pokémon Unite game. Our objective is to give people that aren't familiar with the game a chance to see what it's all about, and to show them how fun it is. I really hope you'll give Pokémon Unite a bit of your attention. Also, I'm just a regular old Pokémon fan, and now I'm playing a part in the Pokémon anime! How about that? Make sure to watch!
>>288701920Miyata sounds like a bro. It's always fun to hear about these ancient Pokemon memories these people have.
>>288701945>Make sure to watch!Oh, I will.
>>288701827>rewatch the same episode over and over, memorizing all the dialogue and then reciting the entire episode to myself under my breathJesus. I didn't even do that with Eva.
They're really going all in with the promotion of this Unite crossover, dang.
>>288701866That's interesting. I've never played the game, so it felt like an extremely random Pokemon to give him.
>>288700672It's time.Looks like they're going to announce Kanade's anime role here too, since they haven't revealed it yet.
>>288702825She's probably Negigaknight
>>288703040
>>288703060
>>288703073
>>288703060The fuck? That's not right.
>>288703169It is now.
What slightly unusual strategy does Friede come up with for the Unite Battle? Prevent Unite moves from being used, or eating before the battle to gain strength?
>>288703597It's obviously not B, so A.
>>288703597Why is Dot like this.
>>288703787Because she's in love.
>Dot focus in Pokedoko's anime segment last week>Dot focus in Pokedoko's anime segment this week>Dot focus in Pokedoko's anime segment next weekI think Sono likes Dot-senpai
>>288703983He's a cool guy. They should give him a role in the anime too.
Anime appearance when?
>>288704334We know they're going to show some ZA characters soon (Shirou and ZA design Matiere are confirmed), so maybe with a bit of luck.
Chadtain Pikachu wins again.
>>288704667Cutie Street were super cute on Pokedoko.
>>288704334God I hope so. That tummy drives me crazy.
>>288703597Based on my old league knowledge I had to look it up... if you take out zapdos the other team gets stunned for a period of time. Assuming that means they can't use their unite moves then that's probably what his plan is.
>>288701945>Miyata: I think this turned out to be an anime episode that will make a lot more people want to play the Pokémon Unite game. Our objective is to give people that aren't familiar with the game a chance to see what it's all about, and to show them how fun it is. I really hope you'll give Pokémon Unite a bit of your attentionI gave it a try because of the anime stuff they added to the game and I already dislike it quite a bit.
Wow, the Youtube upload of Pokedoko only has half the episode, skipping both the segment with Miyata and the segment with Naniwa Danshi and the kids.Don't think I've seen that before.
>>288705278Licensing issues?
Why is Navi taking so long?
>>288705507Maybe there were issues with clearing the kids for a Youtube upload, but the anime promo segment shouldn't have had any issues.
>>288705584Must shill shitty mobage, please understando.
