>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.
>>288802987>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, prove 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.
>>288802999>In addition, Pokémon Unite will be holding a collaboration event with the Pocket Monsters TV show starting June 4th. This event will feature a "Captain Style Pikachu" wearing Holowear inspired by Captain Pikachu from the TV show, as well as Liko and Roy-style Trainer Fashion. To commemorate this Pokémon anime collaboration, Laudbon and Wanival will also be added to the game throughout this period.
>>288803020>Solo Mode will also feature special stages where you can have Unite Battles against the 5-man Rising Volt Tacklers team; Liko & Masquernya, Roy & Laudbon, Dot & Wanival, Uruto & Yamirami and Friede & Pikachu. This June, Pokémon Unite will be fully focused on the Pokémon anime!
>>288802985It's a big crossover between two parts of the Pokemon franchise that don't really interact much, it makes sense.
>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 childhood, 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.
>>288803046>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.
>>288803054The 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.
>>288803066>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.
>>288803078>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).
>>288803091>Q: 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.
>>288803106>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.
>>288803120>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.
>>288803135>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!
Next week:>June 26th: Special Party! Pokémon Everywhere!!>Let's watch the Wonder Voyage arc with the Pokémon and raise the roof together!! What surprises will occur? This is a one-night-only special party with Pokémon everywhere!!>Voice Cast:>Megumi Hayashibara: Nyahoja>Daiki Yamashita: Hogator>Daisuke Namikawa: Kuwassu>Kotono Mitsuishi: Metamon>Taku Yashiro: Yellow Lucario>Kei Shindo: Mawhip>Kenta Miyake: Nuoh/Kairyu>Ikue Ohtani: Captain Pikachu
>>288803135He makes Unite sound more like a drug than a game.
Fuck, the animation and promo clips and shit look fine and all, but I just can't work up much excitement for this.Unite was a mistake.
>>288803164Is it gonna be the sleep collab?
>>288803213No? Why would you think that?
>>288803168I tried it out because of this episode and already dislike it. I can definitely believe people only play it because they're addicted.
>>288803164My guess is a recap special with comments from the Pokemon VAs, represented by kigs.

https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2067849869646348580>Friday is Pokémon Anime Day! When Pokémon accumulate Aeos Energy, they power up and acquire powerful super moves called Unite Moves.

>>288804238That will be how they win.
>>288804258They'll probably reveal it in the final promo in an hour.
>>288803832If Navi is debuting in episode 142, I definitely expect that special next week to hype her up.

>killstealingWhat an asshole
>Uruto ends up saving the dayHeh
That fat fuck looks like it's constantly getting a heart attack from all this running.
Fucking retard croc almost blew it.
Oh, we got the actual Holowear after all.
>>288806073They should've battled in that.
Decent but pretty obvious shilling
>>288806073>Cap just took his shirt off
Yeah, next week is live action.
Who's this fatass

>>288806168Ivor and technically gwynn too.
>>288806141
>>288806168Oh cool, Shirou too.
>>288806204
Funny how Ivor is holding a regular phone so they don’t show him destroying a Rotom.
>>288806204Sex with Matiere.
>>288806209
>>288806207Yeah, it's going to be that Roy VS Shirou episode from the poster and OP.
>>288806219
>>288806215Uruto...
>>288806229
>>288806209They did what they had to do, the arc is saved.
>>288806237
>>288806237>ShiroLame. Canari and Muku when?
>>288806246
>>288806209Enter Matierebutt
>>288806247The latter is on the phone talking to her brother. The former probably isn’t showing up this episode.
>>288806256
>>288806259Really? Hope we get a voice then.
>>288806265
>>288806272
>>288806209This shot is going to get so much fanart.
>>288806284
>>288806246Lumiose only has five district with differently-colored roofs in red, blue, yellow, green and pink in the games, they made it full-on gay rainbow here which I guess is fair since it's France.
>>288806292
>>288806300
>Shillcario focus again Zzz
>>288806247>>288806270Oh yeah, missed getting a shot of this earlier.So Muku probably confirmed too.
>>288806311Made for adoption.
>>288806321NICE
>>288806321Yes, perfect.

>>288806141Finally!>>288806320I mean, they're shilling a game so he gotta do his job
>>288806346SHE SOUNDS SO CUTE
>>288806321Even if Muku doesn't get a line here, this definitely ensures she'll appear in a later episode.
Yukari and Harujio when. DotLiko is fine but we need toxic yuri.
>>288806367How about non-toxic CanaMuku yuri?
>EmmaThat means Jacynthe is somewhere, lurking in the shadows, ready to make you put on the maid outfit

>>288806468Zir?
Muku going "Oh Canari <3" so much it makes Liko go at the end "Oh Dot <3".
>>288806486By complete coincidence, both Unite and PM23 ended up having characters named Zir, both of whose names are derived from "zirconia".

>>288806882
>>288806897
>>288806917
>>288806928Would they really?
>>288806928I assume this is a hot seller in the game.
>>288806935They know what people want.
So no twitter promotion of Navi? That's weird.
>>288806882Our Zir is cooler than this faggot.
>>288807015Yeah, especially since they had a clip of her voice in the preview.
>>288807015>>288807094Can't let Navi get in the way of Unite shilling.
>>288806468>Kei Shindo: MemberHuh, which of them was that?
>>288807015I expect next week's "recap" to be like 90% recap and 10% previews of upcoming shit with a focus on Navi.
>>288807159I think twintails.
So what rating do you expect for this episode?
>>288807210We'll probably get our twitter promotion of her no matter what the special shows.
>>28880726380 maybe. It was fine, but unsubstantial and felt very pointless.
>>288807290I just want the seiyuu.
>>288807306Yeah, this felt like it should've probably been a Youtube special rather than a regular TV episode. It was extremely disconnected from the series as a whole.
>>288806141>reveal Navi's long-awaited debut exclusively on Youtube with zero fanfareBut why
>>288807527I wonder if they just didn't realize the Youtube upload would have the preview for episode 142 and not the special.
>>288807306Way off.
>>288807813Ouch. Well, can't say it didn't deserve it.
>>288807813Welp, expected it wouldn't rate high, just didn't think it would be THAT low.
>>288807813>8.4% hated itGood
>>288807813Not the lowest rated episode. But it IS the episode with the most outright dislikes with a huge margin.
>>288807925Surely the Dande VS Alan episode had more?
>>288808013A couple more.
>>288808037Holy shit it deserved worse desu
>>288807813Sheesh Pokemon Unity left a lot of trauma on people
>>288808037lmao
>>288673033
>>288808274
>>288808247The episode just felt like a pure ad. In a series that's largely an ad to begin with.
>>288808274>>288808295CUTE and gay
>>288808274>>288808295Dot is a cute bully.
>>288806256What the fuck is Metamon's problem?
>>288808489Navi has smelly feet.
Soon
>>288808764I want to believe
CanaMuku status?
>>288809431At least one of them is semi-confirmed.
Which Liko would you licko?
>>288810087The Gurumin mascot is a cute touch.
Nicolive ratings for this week.It's not pretty.
>>288810354Is this the lowest we've rated?
>>288810579Lowest position, maybe. A few episodes have rated lower percentage-wise.
This episode needs more art.
>>288810899There's some out there, but most of it isn't very good, and it's usually not of Liko or Dot either.
>>288810087I would dicko every Liko.
>>288810087cute art but for some reason to me Liko without at least some green detail on her feels a bit off
Sex with Botan.
>>288813271>my feet hurt>this battle sucks>I wish I was at home having sex with Dot
>>288808305Just rewatched it and yeah, it was really blatantly written around shilling a product instead of telling a story.
Time to cure Uruto's fear of girls with powerful shock therapy.
>>288814787Matiere taught Uruto sex education back when they were living together.
>>288814830Time for Uruto to repay the favor by teaching Navi.
Hi anons, was there anything you wanted translated or clarified from today's episode?
>>288807813>>288808247>>288808305Even though it was obviously made to be an ad, I can see TONS of westerners praising it like it's best thing every just because there's fighting.
>>288815391Why did Dot hide behind Liko.
>>288815391Did they explain why Friede had them play Unite?
>>288815467There was a big audience, and she's not good with performing in front of so many people without her Gurumin costume. Liko makes her feel safe.>>288815476Professor Rin had a special battle scheduled, but one of the teams that was supposed to participate couldn't make it after all, so she asked if Friede happened to know of any teams that could enter in its place. He said he knew the best team of them all - the Rising Volt Tacklers.
>>288815557Cute and gay.
>>288806468Did they not list a VA for Professor Rin?
>>288815680She had like one line, not sure who played her but it was obviously one of the VAs listed with a different role.
Where is Dot's left hand?
>>288815889Where it naturally belongs.
>>288815889>D-Dot. Not in front of everyone...
>>288805842I think I've seen more posts of this scene on Twitter than anything else from the episode.
>>288816558There wasn't a whole lot else of interest going on in the episode.
>>288815411I looked around a couple places and yeah, it's getting tons of praise by English speakers everywhere.
I'm surprised they're not doing a Champions episode to shill the newest and shiniest game.
>>288818220It's still a very new game, they might do it later.
>>288818220They'll probably do both Champions and Mastersex in 2027.
>So as everyone can see from this map, lumiose is extremely gay.>They all nod knowingly.
>>288820753>Liko, you and Meowscarada should fit right in.
>>288820753The perfect city for Liko and Dot.
If Miare City is so gay, what is a shotacon like Matiere doing there?
>>288821415Depending on the time of day the french go either way.
>>288821415Minor Attracted Persons are part of the LGBTQPHABET now.
>>288821607Sazare must be so happy.
So Navi is Matiere's detective assistant.
>>288822630God I can't wait. Why does there have to be a two week gap?
>>288822630Made for headpats.
Will Navi be lewd?
>>288806321Why is his phone cracked. Does he have roid strength?!
>>288806380That's just dotliko except canari isn't gay We need toxic slave owner/slave yuri
>>288817819See, I told you. When you watch clips from the anime, you end up getting youtubers that talks about it. Literally seen a tuber called both Ditto/Metamon episode the worst in the series, just because there was no fighting.

>>288824729>full model sheet>literally appeared as a single unmoving drawing in the background
>>288823664Yeah, his funny character trait is accidentally destroying his phones.
>>288824789Our man Zir does not look like that.
>>288824938>clearly didn't play Unite when it first came outThat nigga is HUGE!!!!
>>288824938I assume they gave anime Zir his name back when they had no reason to think Unite characters would appear in the anime.
Why the fuck did they go with Shirou over Muku? At least it looks like Muku will be appearing later.
>>288824825Gay vest for the gay duck.
>>288825133Hopefully we'll get Muku's voice next episode, at least.
>>288825133It's Kalos. They have to shill mega evolution and Lucario, remember? After all, we haven't seen the mutt since the arc started.

Lots of updates today.
>>288821461That's why she has Navi now.
>>288827140Lewd
>>288827140Sounds like they need to get her out of there quick.
