It's Navi time again!Episode 143, "A Dream Ball for You!", is airing in a couple hours!
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2073934974559158441>Navi Makes Her Debut in the Pokémon Anime:>Even the key visual features Navi in its very center, alongside Metamon. What kind of adventures lie in wait for her? We've asked Navi's voice actress Yuu Serizawa-san how she felt when she got cast. Make sure to check out the Youtube upload of the newest episode as well!
>>289432959>HOW I FELT DURING MY AUDITION FOR THE POCKET MONSTERS TV SHOW AS WELL AS WHEN I GOT CAST:>I was auditioning for this massive production absolutely everyone's familiar with, one called "Pokémon", and I wanted to get the role so badly that I could barely sleep at all during the period between the audition and when I learned the result. I would dream about crying tears of joys after getting the role, but I'd also dream about losing the role and then waking up and feeling relieved that it was only a dream, and I would beg to my Metamon plushie every night to have it choose me. When my manager eventually called me into a conference room where all the managers waited with Metamon fans, balloons and plushies and congratulated me, I was so happy I bawled my eyes out. It meant a lot to me that they understood how I felt. However, at that same time it also truly hit me what a big series I was now involved in, so I sobered up and refrained from celebrating too loudly.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2074735245140898210>Navi Makes Her Debut in the Pokémon Anime:>We've asked Navi's voice actress Yuu Serizawa-san what her initial impression of Navi was. What kind of girl is she? Make absolutely sure to also watch the Youtube upload of her debut episode, episode 142, mon!>REGARDING MY CHARACTER NAVI:>I feel like Navi thinks of the world as this wonderful, magical place. She's brimming with curiosity about all kinds of things and is always really excited! She's also the bold type who will leap head first into anything in order to give at a try, doesn't get bothered by failures, and is tough enough to attempt the same thing over and over!! She's younger than the Rising Volt Tacklers, but hates being treated like a child and somewhat longs for being an adult. And most importantly, she really loves Pokémon... which is precisely why she can't decide which Pokémon to get! She's an extremely cute little girl who also has an emotionally sensitive side like that to her!

https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2075384519075754262>Navi Makes Her Debut in the Pokémon Anime:>We've asked Navi's voice actress Yuu Serizawa-san if there's something she wants to say to all the Pokémon anime viewers! Make sure to pay attention to the role Navi will be playing from here on, and make absolutely sure to also watch the Youtube upload of her debut episode, episode 142, mon!>A MESSAGE FOR THE POKÉMON ANIME'S VIEWERS:>I feel incredibly honored that I get to play the character Navi at the perfect timing of Pokémon's 30th anniversary. I will do my absolute utmost to give Pokémon my all with a fresh perspective and complete sincerity alongside Navi, so that you Pokémon fans will all be able to feel a sense of nostalgia, relating Navi's experiences to the excitement you felt when you got your first Pokémon, the frustration you felt when you lost a battle, and how you overcame some kind of challenge by bonding with your beloved Pokémon! Best regards!

How much Uruto bullying are we going to get?
>>289433302Looks like this episode will be focusing more on Navi interacting with Liko and Dot, so probably not that much.
>>289432949Those bi-weekly breaks are annoying.
>>289433345What's airing next week, anyway?
>>289433371>Nitaku Choice TV: Secret Tricks to Save Energy When Using an Air Conditioner During Summer & A Two-Choice Question That Might Save Your Life If You're Drifting at SeaIt's some kind of irregular life hack/useful info show that begins its presentations of info with a two-choice question
>>289433467Looked it up, actually sounds kind of fun, but I don't want it at the expense of more Navi.
>>289432949Does she have any lewds yet?
>>289433575She has a bunch of futa lewds on Pixiv for some reason.
>>289433174Some of the exhibits they have by these stamps are pretty cool.
>>289433345This should be the last one for a while.
Chances of DotLiko today?
>>289433810Maybe, since Dot is going to tell Navi about the day she caught Kuwassu.
>>289433106Is Navi ging t join the group today, or are they saving it for next episode?
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2078042029523882121>Metamon has landed in the city all by itself in order to look for Navi. It then sets off on a grand adventure through Miare, but... will it be able to deliver the Dream Ball to Navi?

>>289434528
>>289434540Comfymon.
>>289434540
>>289434008Probably at the end of today's episode, since we see Navi running after the airship at the end of the preview.
>>289434549That expression is amazing.
20 minutes, let's go!
>>289434664Ready!
>>289434518Let's fucking do this!
>>289434784Legs made for licko
It's time, get in here.
Kono ato sugu
Starting.
Navi needs a hug
Bonding time with Liko, Dot and Navi
Navi is too precious.
Why is the Unite nonsense still on the OP?
Mon Mon!
>Navi is bullying Uruto already
>barely got to see her pajamas at allGay
What's with all this random sludge and crap around the city?
The cat hasn’t been replaced by Ditto in the title card.
Lots of Matierebutt this episode.
>>289434925From the game.
>Denryu is still just a living generator
>>289433180B it is
>>289434946Even Uruto called that out
Metamon bouncing around like that is so cute.
>this was the guy that invented the coffee milkheh
Oh shit, did Metamond find her already?
Navi's butt...
Navi's expressions are a delight.
Just catch it already.
>>289434993Her voice is super cute too. Best Pokemon character yet.
>Masquernya and Yamirami are STILL fighting over Metamon
Even the autismcat knows she wants to catch it.
Really hope they come back, would be a waste to not do more in Kalos.
This episode has been super cute so far.
>>289435034I'm sure they will. This is the perfect place to showcase more new megas.
Metamon is sad about saying goodbye now too.
Damn, how far down was that?
Matiere should've told her earlier
Fuck...
Oh, THAT'S why they put the Kairyu transformation on that mural.
Mon mon, motherfucker!
They all used their flying Pokémon, except for Liko who doesn’t have one.
Metamon, loli getto da ze!
And there's her new outfit.
What the fuck is wrong with Uruto?
11/10 episode
>>289435102He knows he's going to get bullied on the regular now.
That was great, Navi is exactly what this show needed.
>UruNavi episode Noice
While time for another 2 week wait.
>>289435148Fuck, I actually forgot about that.
>>289435141The show needs more Likobutt.
Don’t really feel like the content of these episodes make the 2 weeks worth the wait.
Summary for next episode:>July 31st: PM2023 144 - Navi's Little Big Adventure!>Navi has got Metamon and become a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers! The upfront and enthusiastic Navi immediately hits it off with the rest of the crew, but just doesn't seem to click with Uruto... Liko suggests the two of them run an errand in the nearby town, but as expected, they end up fighting again! But when Navi goes off on her own, she ends up getting lost?!
>>289435213Navi and Uruto bonding time!
DotLiko status?
>>289435231Hanging out on their own without the boys. >>289434888
>>289435186I really liked today's episode, but these are clearly more about cuteness than about being eventful.
>>289435213I hope this doesn't mean they'll stop fighting.

However, the time then came for the Brave Asagi to leave Miare City. Matiere and Mokoo sensed how Navi felt when she saw the group leave, and gave her a supportive push... and as Navi desperately ran after the airship, Metamon was also...?!

Here is a comment from the group:>We're incredibly happy to not only get to perform an ending theme for the show, but also appear in it as guest voice actors of all things! Us appearing in an episode of a TV show with as much history as Pocket Monsters feels like a dream, and we hope we'll also be able to live up the show as the voice actors of the Cutie Pikapika. Many of our fans love Pokémon, and the announcement that we would be doing an ending theme for the show got a lot of attention, so we think this announcement will make them happy as well. We just can't wait for the day this episode airs! Please make sure to look forward to it!
>>289435594
was there an episode this week?
>>289435594Oh fug
>>289435621Today.
>>289435633
>>289435621Anon, it literally says in the OP >>289432949
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2078067186967650780>An anime version music video for the Wonder Voyage Pokémon anime is now available! This is a fun video that conveys the paths tread by Liko and Roy on their adventures, as well as their hopes for their upcoming journey. "Issee no..." Play!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeOp4mK6dG8
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2078068444826865664>What did you think of Pokémon anime episode 143, "A Dream Ball for You!"? Navi wasn't able to catch up to the Brave Asagi as it took off, but... Metamon came to her on its own. Navi then got her first Pokémon: Metamon!
>>289435709Oh nice, they didn't region lock this one.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2078069703302599109>A certain professor will be appearing in the Pokémon anime...?! Further information will be announced Monday July 20th! Get some good sleep in while you wait.
>>289435779That's the Pokemon Sleep guy, right?
>>289435594>>289435779Damn, they're going all out on revealing stuff about upcoming unannounced episodes now. There's that Fug trailer as well.
>>289435795Yeah. We kinda knew it was coming due to the Kabigon at the stamp rally.
Monday is a weird day to reveal news.
>>289435594So they're a Pikachu idol unit?
>>289435821Liko having Gurumin dreams.
>>289435709Completely forgot there was a line in the song about not rushing to become an adult, that was definitely written with Navi in mind.
>>289435594Summary dropped:>August 28th: PM2023 147 - Right in the Feels! Why, It's a Pokémon Contest!!>Liko decides to enter a Pokémon Contest with Masquernya, Laudbon and Wanival! And after getting trained by the self-styled "coach" Navi, it's finally time for the real deal! The venue is filled with skilled performers, last but not least the Pikachu idol group "Cutie Pikapika", and Liko starts feeling quite uneasy as she watches them perform...
>>289436119So that scene in the OP was a contest after all.
>>289436119>Right in the FeelsWhat was THAT in nip?
>>289436163"geki-emo"
>>289436192Oh, that makes sense.
>zoomer slang in my Pokemon
>>289436256Bro, she's like 14.
>>289436256There's been quite a bit of it in the series already, especially in Sango's dialogue.
>>289436119Why is Liko taking advice from Navi and not the actual performer.
>emohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6gs70ZUSk8
>>289436313I assume Navi presented herself as an expert.>the self-styled "coach" Navi
>>289436119Been ages.
>>289436119Chances of cameos from earlier contest girls?
>>289432949Chocolate soles!
>>289436452Pokemon is saved?
>>289436447Wouldn't bet on it.
So what rating do you expect for today's episode?
>>28943659290. Really really fucking cute. Navi is such a great character.
>>289436592I'll say 88.
>>289436622>>289436640Ouch
>>289436736Fucking shit taste nips.
>>289436736>5.9% hated itHoly shit what is their problem with Navi?
>>289436736Very sugary episode, but it also didn’t actually have much substance. Probably should have had Navi get her Dream Ball back sooner and then spend the episode bonding with Ditto. Also having a specific character of the day to help would have been nice.
>>289436736Lowest rated Wonder Voyage episode aside from the Unite crap, but rated higher than most earlier episodes this year.
>>289436801I thought she got the Dream Ball back pretty quick. Any faster and we wouldn't get any Metamon antics at all.
>>289436815>Sleep episode coming soonSurely that can't be as bad as the Unite episode, right?
>>289436447Would've been fun if they put some of the Tripokalon girls in the background.
>>289435450They'll give him a het harem. Navi, Matiere and Taro so far.
>>289437232I support this.
>>289437352I kinda miss this look for her. It was cuter.
When are we getting another Gurumin episode?
>>289437498Liko will have a Gurumin dream in the Sleep episode. Trust.
>>289436119>>289436153Based on the OP, it seems Metamon will be joining in as well.
Every Gurumin episode is gayest than the last. At this point Liko is going to kiss the damn costume.
>>289437535Oh shit, that's the Masquernya transformation from this mural. Completely forgot about its appearance in the OP.
>>289437634She got pretty close to kissing the Gurumin bread before her jealous cat ate it.
Episode where Dot gets sick and Liko has to fill in for her as Gurumin because she knows Gurumin's mannerisms by heart when?
>>289437918Wouldn't work. She would die the instant she gets inside the costume.
>>289437940What if Dot asked reeeally nicely?
>>289438222She'd have better lucky asking really lewdly.
>>289436119Contest arc or one-off?
>>289439277Feels like a one-off.
>>289439277Definitely a one-off, they have so much else they're going to cover this arc.
>>289437013I'm sure it will be better. Pokemon Sleep's gameplay as a whole doesn't lend itself to a by-the-numbers shill episode like the Unite one, so they have to get creative.
>>289437918I'm surprised they haven't done this plot already.
Does this mean they're saving the Pokemon Go episode until November or so?
>>289440915Seems they're saving it for much later, at least.
>>289442317Cute! We need to see Metamon turn into Navi at some point.
>>289442510Yeah, it's been turning into its own versions of the shipmons, but not any of the humans. Give us that.
>>289442785It's pretty weird we haven't seen it yet, since that's the big gimmick in the game they're trying to shill by including a Metamon in the anime.
>>289435709>didn't use a Liko scene for the "recollection" punCome on, Minoringo pointed that pun out TWICE.
I love my wife Green!
>>289443003What's the pun?
>>289443076"Recollection" is written as "rikorekushon" in katakana. As you can see, it starts with "Riko".
>>289435034My guess is that since these two episodes are clearly set before the events of the Z-A game, they'll return later in the series to a Miare City where the game events have already taken place.
>>289443292That could work. It would make more sense to introduce characters like Canari in a setting where the game has already taken place.
>>289443122The first time we heard the song, at the music show, Minoringo also specifically highlighted it by going over to pose with the Liko kig for that line.
>>289435213>Liko suggests the two of them run an errand in the nearby town, but as expected, they end up fighting again!
>>289443780Just fuck already.
>>289435148>>289435186Better a two week wait than the usual three week wait we have between cours. They changed things up a bit this time.
>>289443780Why is Uruto like this?
Hi anons, was there anything you wanted translated or clarified from today's episode?
>>289444460Was this the reason they gave for Navi choosing to catch Metamon? >>289432736
>>289444591No, her discussion with Liko and Dot at the start of the episode made her realize that the trainer doesn't always choose the Pokemon, sometimes it's the Pokemon that chooses the trainer.It was also mentioned how Navi specifically loved Metamon's ability to transform into all kinds of things because she herself wants to do all kinds of things.
>>289444690>she herself wants to do all kinds of thingsThat's kinda vague.
>>289444737She's like 9, anon.
>>289444460i wish theyd air the episodes on youtube or something that isnt fucking netflix.
>>289444898They literally do >>289435459>Check it out on the official Youtube channel, okay?
>>289444460We got Navi's backstory in the park scene, didn't we? What exactly was said there?
>>289444898Anon...
>>289444947>Navi: Oh right, this town square is where Matiere first taught Navi about coffee milk!>Matiere: That's right. This is where we first met...>Navi: Matiere and Mokoo looked like they were have so much fun, so Navi decided to stay with them!>Liko: So that's how it happened.>Navi: Yeah! And you know, Navi has always played with the Pokémon in Miare City, but can't really remember anything from before that.>Matiere: And then I asked her to become my assistant.>Navi: Navi was like "leave it to me!"
>>289445128Interesting, I assume we'll learn more about why she was living alone on the streets later, like we did with Uruto.
The way Navi usually talks really chiildlike, but occasionally says some "adult"-sounding line she clearly copied from someone else is adorable as fuck.
Navi is going to switch to black coffee now that she doesn't have Matiere watching over her.
>>289444690>Navi wants to do all kinds of thingsSo why isn't she participating in the Pokemon Contest?
>>289444105Okochama da mon ne.
>>289435459>https://x.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/2078064704417579075>Video unavailable>The uploader has not made this video available in your countryWhy do we let these faggots even post on western platforms? This shit is just illogical and traitorous. For all we know they could be posting government secrets and other classified info while they hide behind region restrictions. Regionlocking is the dumbest fucking bullshit and has no reason to exist anymore in 2026.

>>289445703Anon, I highly recommend that you shut up with your dumb opinions. While I do understand the frustration of not being able to see everything, it's for the best considering the insanity of western fans.
>>289445902Good, fuck Eevee
>>289445693Uruto needs to give up, there's just no way to win against a professional smug loli like this
>>289447607Ouch, that's a drop in quality all right.

>>289448699Different railroad company operating in a different area. Also somewhat smaller in scale.They're promoting both because they want people to participate in both, though.

But even though we got completely floored, we're also really happy about this, and are looking forward the episode airing ourselves!Haruka: With that said, the Pocket Monsters TV show airs every Friday at 6:55pm on the TV Tokyo Network. The Cutie Pikapika, who are played by us, will appear in the Pokémon anime episode airing Friday August 28th!Aika: Please make sure to listen to the ending theme Cute na Cutai every week as well! This has been...Everyone: Cutie Street!
>>289449838Good shit. Looking forward to this.
>>289449838Cutiest Cuties
>>289449838Will they be french too?
>>289450080Nah, the group left Kalos at the end of today's episode, and that region doesn't have Contests anyway.
>>289435594>>289436119>>289449838So I guess they announced this episode now because they're going to spend the break week promoting this episode and its guest VAs?
>>289433174Soul
>>289450531This blob has really grown on me. It's crazy they never pushed it as a major mon before, it's so cute.
Surprised no ones talking Navi's throw away line about remembering nothing before a certain point.
I think Liko and Dot should kiss.

https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2078313822084104643>We present a key frame of Navi and Metamon from episode 143! "Metamon! Arigato, mitsuketekurete." Go here to watch the Youtube upload:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLODHN2dRE9Bl-zED5nBImdYrNpHNb4_yg

>>289451070I wish one of the XY characters had caught a Nyasper, it's just too cute.
>>289451019I really hope they post the pokemon evolution keyframes for Green too.
>>289445995I highly recommend you shut up and don't say anything if you're going to be a dumb dismissive asshole. Most western fans are kids and/or their parents with occasional mix of adults there to play the actual game. Porn addict "artists" on xitter don't make a great sample size compared to actually touching grass and going to pokemon events.>>289445800vpns are a scam
>>289449838Huh, I thought the Pikachu on the CD jacket were just the girls drawn as Pikachu, didn't expect them to appear in an episode.
Was Pokedoko going to have anything anime related today?
>>289452248>>>/vp/59427402>Sono from M!LK's "Rising Sonoshun" will feature a Cute na Cutai getting challenge!Looks like it might have some promotion of episode 147.
>>289452387Hope he does another Dot showcase too.
The fact that the noises ditto make in japanese sound like it's saying "mama" makes the relationship significantly different in a way that's really funny to me.
>>289453027It's very audibly "mon mon", anon.
>>289453185You don't understand what the term "sounds like" means?
>>289453232But it doesn't really sound like mama.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2078359111062929903>Pokémon Anime Header Giveaway:>In episode 143, Navi got Metamon! She's now become a companion of the Rising Volt Tacklers who will go on adventures alongside them! Watch the moment she got Metamon in the Youtube upload of the episode, okay?
>>289453564CUTE!
>>289453564Oh there we go, I was wondering if they were going to give us a header.
>>289453581And extremely funny.
>>289453564If I was a twittershitter I'd 100% use this banner.
Why is Navi such a cute?
>>289454058She's a Pokegirl AND a loli, comes with the territory.
>>289436119>>289436256It'd be really oniyaba if they brought back Sango for this episode.
>>289436192>emoI remember /a/ going ballistic when subs for 16 Bit Sensation translated it as "pog"To be fair, that's a really shitty translation
>>289436119>>289435594>147Hold on, what about 145 and 146?
>>289454566They announced this one early because of the guest VAs they're going to hype up. They did the same with the Unite episode that had Miyata as a guest VA.
>>289454577Emoi!
So is "Right in the feels" what it means?
>>289454604It's fine, fairly close in meaning. I definitely can't think of anything better.
>>289454638smc-subs used "vibes" and I did not like that. Feels is better.
>>289454690Vibes is emoemo!
>>289454736That doesn't look very emo. Where's the angst.
Emo!
SEX with Matiere
>>289455099>Uruto got raped by thisLucky fuck
>>289454599That sunset scene went on longer than I thought.
>>289455279
> Oh no , Ash has nothing left to do , he needs to go for new protagonist.> Three years later, there is nothing for new protagonist to do in the anime while there are way many things for Ash and his companions to do in the new series.How did it turned out this way?
>>289455525God I wish that was me.
>>289454577They'll probably announce 145 and 146 during the break.
>>289456090Amethio returning when?
>>289456504He's in the OP, so I assume he'll pop up eventually.
>>289456852Zir is also in the OP, it gives me hope.
Why is /a/ full of almost nothing but spam bots meant to advertise fotm slop and spam softcore porn?
>>289455902Yeah, I'm guessing next Monday.
>>289455099Made for face sitting.
>>289432949>Brazil nuts
>>289453564Shame we never got one with her other outfit.
>>289456504He appeared so little and now he's going to appear even less.
Metamon was calling Navi "mama".
Uruto is a proud parisian.
>>289435709>almost all the clips are from the most recent episodesWas that really necessary?
>>289461423It's a music video for the Wonder Voyage OP, anon.
>>289460153Well they did put him in the OP, I assume they have SOME kind of further plans for him.
I hope the next episode won't be the end of Navi and Uruto's bickering.
>>289462742I doubt it. They made it a big part of the ED.
Wait, was this a pantyshot?
>>289463249No, someone just fucked up and didn’t draw the rest of her leg.
>>289463249How do you think Navi's panties would look like?
>>289463776She's clearly nopan, that's why Matiere made her wear spats for her new outfit.
>>289464621
>>289464683
Yukari SOON
The Internet is exploding with Navi fanart. Good shit.
Just watch the episode and all I have to say, it was extremely cute. The whole 'the pokemon chooses you' thing will never get old man. An amazing trope that deserve all of the love.
>>289464898It really is the best way to write captures in the anime. I think nearly every single one has been written like that the recent 20 years or so.
>>289432949
>>289464986T. T for Tan.
>>289464736We need toxic yuri.
>>289465019
Liko's yellow shirt returning when?
>>289465056>it's still getting fanartDamn, even Dot's pink dress kinda stopped getting art now.
>>>/vp/59441607Pokedoko in two hours, it's going to have a segment based around Cute na Cutai, so it might do some promotion of episode 147 >>289435594
>>289465335They need to have Otoi as a guest va in the anime at some point.
>>289464736Surely they're going to give us more appearances by Z-A characters, right?
>>289465590As long as we get Muku and Canari, I'm happy.
>>289464896It's nice to see that she's been so well received.
>>289466100
>>289466100This scene was so good.
>>289464621Matiere totally did this with Uruto too.
Describe sex with Navi.
>>289466797
>>289466870Matiere teaching sexual education to Uruto.
>>289466870>>289466909Canon in my book. And I'm extremely jealous.
>>289467043How do you think she taught him.
>>289467202Physically. The best way.
>>289465335Starting
>>289467447Let's see if we get anything on episode 147 then.
Otoi is so cute you guys.
>>289467539Looks like we aren't.
>>289466861Squishy and gooey and... purple?!Oh Metamon, you got me again!
>>289468651Double Navi sex!
>>289469483I remember a Blue doujin like that
>>289469527It was really good, yes.
>>289469827I thought Metamon was a donut from the thumbnail.
>>289470280>DonutAnsha when.
>>289470280>>289470386
>>289465724She's basically confirmed at this point after Shirou mentioned her.
>>289470970Canari is also very likely due to Racine Construction getting a cameo.
Gloria won.
>>289465335I assume it didn't have anything?
>>289472470No, the only anime related bit was Sonoshun's anime recap, where he talked about the scene where Friede fell from the ship at the end of Rayquaza Rising.
>>289472649Did he run out of Dot scenes already?
Why does it have to be an entire two weeks until the next episode? I want more Navi now!
So is there nothing at all next week?
>>289474402We've been promised news on Monday >>289435779Obviously it's involving the Pokemon Sleep episode, which will probably be one of other two August episodes.There's a good chance of other news that week too.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2078721499398394008>Pokémon Anime Spotlight:>When the Brave Asagi took off, the Pokémon also seemed to notice how lonely Metamon looked now that it had parted with Navi...

Blob needs loli, please provide immediate assistance.
>The 8-member idol group Cutie Street will be appearing as guest voice actors in the Pocket Monsters TV show on August 28th (airs on the TV Tokyo Network at 6:55pm). Not only do they handle the ending theme Cute na Cutai, now they'll also try being the voice actors for the Pikachu idol group "Cutie Pikapika" that's going to appear in the show. We talked to the 8 members of Cutie Street right after the dubbing session, asking them about behind-the-scenes details as well as their personal feelings regarding Pokémon.
>>289475808>Q: We can imagine this was the first time many of you tried voice acting. Be honest, how do you feel now that the dubbing session is over?Kana Itakura: I was so incredibly nervous! While this was my first time voice acting in this manner, I'm a huge anime fan and watch a ton of shows, so learning how all the voice actors actually work made a really strong impression on me. The nervousness I felt was completely different from the kind I feel at our concerts; My heart was just racing like crazy. I was also worried that I wasn't even producing a voice at all, but the Cutie Pikapika I was seeing on the screen were so incredibly cute they helped calm me down.>Q: Did all of them have lines?Itakura: Yeah, we all sang what sounded like "Pika Pika". We've never said "Pika Pika" so much in our lives (laughs). I also had some moments of realization in terms of how the sound director was thinking, like when he told us that since Pikachu are small, we should be perceiving humans as bigger than we were currently doing, and while my heart was pounding with nervous excitement the entire time, I really enjoyed the experience.Ayano Masuda: This was my first time doing any kind of voicework as well, and it made me realize how incredibly difficult it is to get across the feel and emotions in a scene with just your and others' voices alone. The entire time I was so nervous it felt like my heart itself was shaking and rolling back and forth, and I even still feel a little nervous despite the session being over... The characters we got to voice were the popular celebrities Cutie Pikapika, and the voice director likewise told us to voice them like they're making everyone happy, so I delivered my lines with the heartfelt desire for both Cutie Street in the real world and Cutie Pikapika in the anime world to shine brightly.
>>289475814Nagisa Manabe: I was really nervous too, to the point of trembling (laughs). The studio was similar to those we often see at auditions and the like, so I was nervous from the moment I walked in. I don't normally say the word "Pikachu" a whole lot either, so I thought it was really hard to express feelings of happiness and such using just that word. The nervousness didn't exactly help. All 8 of us got to voice act together though, so we had a lot of fun, especially with all the encouragement we got from the sound director.Emiru Kawamoto: I was shaking like a leaf and my heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest. When I was little I didn't really like my own voice very much, but ever since I became an idol I've started thinking it might not be so bad after all. I'm also a big anime fan, so I've also hoped I'd get the chance to do a gig like this one day, and I'm really happy I was given such a wonderful opportunity. The fact that we not only got to be portrayed in the show by such amazing Pokémon as the Pikachu from the Pokémon anime I've been watching ever since I was little, but also got to actually voice them ourselves, just feels like a dream come true. I still can't imagine what it's actually going to be like!Aika Sano: I sometimes auditioned for voice actor roles back when I did theater, so the studio felt very familiar to me when I first walked in. I felt really excited, but also really nervous. I still can't quite believe that we've been given this invaluable opportunity to actually appear in the Pokémon anime as voice actors.
>>289475823Risa Furusawa: It wasn't until I received the script for the episode that it truly hit me that this was actually happening. I had to convey facial expressions, cheerfulness and joy with nothing more than the word "Pikachu", which I found incredibly fascinating due to how different it is from how I express myself as an idol, and I had a lot of fun doing this.Haruka Sakuraba: While I was incredibly nervous, it made me really happy to experience first-hand how anime is created. I'm a big fan of both anime and Pokémon, so this was a really emotional experience for me, and since I've already been really interested in voice acting, I'm really happy I got to try it personally as part of Cutie Street. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished episode.Miyu Umeda: I had a lot of fun as well. Before we came to the studio, I had been looking at the script and wondering what this was all going to be like, but it wasn't until I entered the studio and saw all the people as well as the animated footage itself that it really hit me that Cutie Street were actually going to be Pocket Monsters voice actors. I think it's absolutely incredible that my first ever voice acting gig is in Pocket Monsters, and I'm really grateful for this amazing opportunity. I feel like this is something I'll always be able to take pride in even after this anime is complete.
>>289475836>Q: How did you feel when you first learned you wouldn't just be doing the ending theme, but also appear in the anime itself as voice actors?Sano: I just couldn't believe it was true at first (laughs). We all got completely astonished when we were told they were going to create Cutie Pikapika.Furusawa: I was already super happy they were doing the CD, so this news really came as a shock.>Q: Did you discover any sides to the other members of the group you didn't know about during the dubbing session?Masuda: There was a scene they had us dub as two groups of four, and it was so incredibly cute and precious seeing the others say "Pi-ka-chu" with their entire bodies. There was also another scene where the characters were talking to each other by saying Pi-ka-chu; I was playing against Emiru in that scene, and it eventually got to the point I could actually understand what she was saying (laughs).Kawamoto: We were talking for so long, weren't we? Like "You have butterflies too, don't you?"Masuda: "I'm so nervous!" "But let's do our best, okay?" (laughs)Umeda: When I was watching the other group of four dub that one scene, I noticed their bodies were all instictively swaying left and right at the same time (laughs). It was really inspiring to see how in sync they were. Oh, and I also got to have a conversation with Paru in Pikachu-speak.Sakuraba: I had absolutely no idea what I was saying, though (laughs).>Q: (Laughs)
>>289475846>Q: How did you feel when you first saw the ending theme Cute na Cutai on-screen with visuals and all?Manabe: Liko and Roy were both dancing! I had watched the anime, so that really surprised me; To think that the characters from the show would actually be performing these moves. That's what made the biggest impact on me.Sakuraba: Experiencing the song with visuals added, lots of dancing and Pokémon everywhere felt completely different from just listening to the song on its own. It felt like I got to see yet another side of Cute na Cutai, and the fact that it actually airs on TV as part of an anime makes me so happy it seriously feels unbelievable. I feel so emotional every single time the episode ends and the ending starts playing.
>>289475858>Q: Pokémon continues to be a beloved franchise among every generation all over the world. Exactly why do you think people find it so appealing?Itakura: I think Pokémon is something that connects people even if they've never met before at all. Just the other day I was talking about Pokémon with some people we were working with on a shoot in Korea, and when I mentioned we got to do a Pokémon ending, they immediately went "I love the Pokémon Card Game" and "The ending is amazing". It made me think about how Pokémon connected us even though we were from both different generations and different countries. Not only that, but it truly makes me happy that I now get to be professionally involved with the very Pokémon that have always been there with me ever since I was little, and that we've grown, or rather, evolved together. They're always there for me, and they're so cute; A comforting presence in my life.
>>289475869Kawamoto: I don't think it matters whether they first watched it as a child or as an adult, everyone are going to end up wanting Pokémon!Everyone: EVERYONE! (laughs)Kawamoto: Whenever I watch Pokémon, I really do end up wanting Pokémon of my own. Wanting a partner. I want to raise it, and I think seeing it fight will make anyone fired up, regardless of age or sex. I really like Hogator, and I get seriously passionate when I watch scenes where it's fighting, cheering it on in my mind. I used to get excited while watching Pokémon when I was little too, but watching it as an adult makes me able to understand what's going on on a deeper level. That lets me start to empathize with the Pokémon more and more, which makes seeing them battle or going on adventures together really rouse my emotions. And before I know it, I end up really wanting one of my own (laughs)! I think there's all kinds of people around the world, whether they like the Pokémon anime, the video games or the Pokémon Card Game, that find Pokémon soothing to simply look at, think of them as cute, or as cool. And I think THAT might be the reason they've been beloved all over the world for so long.
They're really starting to promote this contest episode and its guest appearances hard.
>>289475880I think she's exaggerating a bit here, but her attitude is really cute. Would dork about Pokemon with.
>>289475823So Cutie Pikapika ARE meant to be the anime versions of Cutie Street.
>>289435779>>289474702How much you want to bet that the Sleep episode get a higher rating than the Unite one?>>289475913Well, of course. They paid big bucks for these guys. It would be stupid not to advertise them an get your money's worth.
>>289476012I don't think they paid any money for them, their representatives are likely on the production board and wanted them in the anime for added exposure.
>>289475846This sounds cute. Wonder how big a scene they're going to have.
>>289476012>How much you want to bet that the Sleep episode get a higher rating than the Unite one?100%. A Sleep crossover requires them to be a bit inventive, not just write a gameplay session.
>>289476055They're mentioned in the summary, so it sounds like they're going to be Liko's main rivals this episode.
>>289445128>>289450796Maybe her memory has been erased by daddy
>>289476137Fuck.
>>289475823>Aika Sano: I sometimes auditioned for voice actor roles back when I did theaterI looked her up, and she's never had any VA roles, so I guess she failed every audition. Ouch. She's been in some live action movies and TV series though.
>>289476137I want this Spinel-is-Navi's-dad meme to be real so bad.
I assume the Cutie Streets will be on Pokedoko again soon to promote this episode? Really liked their previous appearance.
Sweet Steady getting a guest role in the anime when?
>>289476302Very likely, they almost always have anime guest VAs on to to promote the episode.
Will the Sleep episode have a guest VA too? The Unite one did.
>>289476439Maybe. If it does, it probably isn't airing before September, though, so they can get some time to properly promote the guest role.
CuteAndGay
>>289476848Cute. Sauce?

>>289475823>>289475846>>289475880Kawamoto sounds super cute.
>>289474702Well, see you tomorrow then, I guess.
