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!

>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.
>>290489968>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.
>>290489997Nagisa 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.
>>290490018Risa 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.
>>290490034>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)
>>290490057>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.
>>290490093>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.
>>290489067I hope Ababa burns in hell for not increasing the res of his current Pokemon doujin on Fanbox
>>290490117Kawamoto: 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.
>>290490140>The 8-member idol group Cutie Street will be appearing in the Pocket Monsters TV show on August 28th (airs on the TV Tokyo Network at 6:55pm) as guest voice actors for the Pikachu idol group "Cutie Pikapika". In this second half of our interview with them, we talked about the bond the eight of them now have two years after their debut, the group's strong points and what Pokémon they think the others remind them of, and also asked them about their future goals as they prepare to take on the world.
>>290490080>>290490106Yukari when.
>>290490164>Q: Cutie Pikapika is a group that works really well together. Have you had any recent experiences where you felt you only succeeded because of who you are as a group?Aika Sano: During our recent concert at Ariake Arena, things sometimes got pretty hectic backstage, but the fact that the eight of us were in it together was very reassuring and made me feel like a fighter. That concert was also made available online, and watching it at home afterwards allowed me to see it from an angle we rarely get to see concerts from. An outsider perspective like that once again reminded me of how amazing an atmosphere the eight of us create; It didn't even feel like it was us up there on the stage, that's how moving it was. I feel like part of our appeal is how our friendship shines through during our concerts.Risa Furusawa: In our private lives, the eight of us often wear similar clothes and like the same kind of things, and we've really come to learn each others' interests and preferences over the nearly two years we've been together. It's almost like we're dating each other (laughs). I think the way we keep getting to know each other better is another great aspect of our group.
>>290490187>Q: What do you feel is the one way you've grown the most as a group since your debut?Miyu Umeda: I think getting to perform at Pia Arena MM for our first anniversary really made us grow. At the time, that was a massive venue and a massive task to undertake for us. We did a ton of rehearsals and a lot of preparation, and it ended up being an absolutely massive concert, so I think that entire process and performance was a moment that allowed us to really grow. After the concert, we immediately started talking about where we wanted to perform next, so I think we really did grow a lot as a group at that point.Ayano Masuda: We've all grown a lot since then, but so has the sense of unity we feel with our fans during our concerts, and it makes me incredibly happy how much growth there is in Team Cutie Street as a whole, both among us group members and all the Cutest, as well as the staff that's constantly supporting us. Back when we were first starting out, we struggled a lot with how to liven up our concerts, and the way our concerts have kept evolving since then, with how the fans have found their own ways to enjoy themselves, cheer us on and showing us lots of support, makes me feel like we've all managed to progress further together every time I stand on stage. I think this is the one area where we've really grown, and I hope the entire team can continue to grow further.
>>290490216>Q: All Pokémon have their own idiosyncracies; What do you think the appeal and strengths of Cutie Street are?Haruka Sakuraba: I think part of our appeal lies in how incredibly close we are, and how it comes through in our performances and the many videos we make. We've also heard from our fans how fun we are to watch because it's so evident how good friends we are, so I think that's something that really draws people in. I also think we're very good at pulling off different concepts; Cutie Street has lots of cute songs, cool songs and upbeat songs, and I think a huge part of our appeal is how well we handle them all.>Q: Is there anything specific you keep in mind to ensure you stay such good friends?Sakuraba: I've always felt that we're all very mild-mannered and talk nicely to each other. There's rarely any harsh language being used, so I think things are going to remain just fine.Nagisa Manabe: I think the reason we're so close is because we all just naturally care a lot about each other; We're not consciously trying to be nice, it's just how we genuinely are as people. While it does depend somewhat on the situation, we're the kind of people that are capable of accepting our limitations instead of forcing ourselves, and I think our relationship is, above all else, built on mutual respect rather than us walking on eggshells around each other. That, I think, is the secret to why we've always been such good friends, and I think that's the appeal of our team.
>>290490239>Q: Do you think any of the other members resemble a specific Pokémon, and if so, why?Emiru Kawamoto: Aika Sano is Hogator!Sano: Your partner!Kawamoto: Aika's color is red, which resembles Hogator's color, and she has these stars in her eyes that really resemble the way Hogator's eyes light up when it looks at Lizardon with admiration. She also eats a lot, and Hogator is a huge glutton. Their expressions when they eat are nearly identical. She also often has this blank stare on her face when we're all talking together, like she doesn't understand what's being talked about, and that look is just totally Hogator. They both look and act the same way.>Q: She sure sounds like she's practically a Hogator.Kawamoto: I want a Hogator myself, so I constantly ask her to imitate one for me.Kana Itakura: I think Ayano resembles Kuwassu in terms of personality and Emonga in terms of looks!Masuda: What?! Seriously?Itakura: Her facial proportions are identical to Emonga's. And while she goofs around a lot, she's also the kind of girl who can make you laugh just by being herself; While it might not be on purpose, that's the kind of character Kuwassu is as well. She's so cute and precious.Kawamoto: She also puts a lot of effort into styling her bangs. Kuwassu is really obsessed about its hair too, isn't it?
>>290490259>Q: Now that you've done a collaboration with something as globally renowned as the Pokémon anime, what kind of future do you envision for yourselves?Itakura: Since this is about our common goals, allow me to answer this on behalf of the group. This year, the goal we all share is to perform at the Kouhaku Utagassen. This is something we always say during our huddle before our concerts, like a lucky charm. We've also talked about how we wanted to do an arena tour this year, and now that's actually going to happen! We want to do our best to ensure it's going to be a success and to show everyone how much more we've evolved.>Q: You're also expanding your reach overseas as well, aren't you?Itakura: I would be so happy to get to do a concert at KSPO Dome in Korea at some point. It's still more of a dream or an aspiration at the moment, but we've had the opportunity to go to Korea a lot and become known to a lot of people there, so we want to keep working our hardest so that we'll one day be able to hold a concert at a large Korean venue as well!

I'm wondering if we'll get another trailer at the end of tomorrow's episode. If they're really doing both the raidons and Ogerpon in September, it'd make sense to do a big trailer hyping them up together.
>>290490568That'd make sense. I forgot when we got the last trailer.

>>290496547If we're getting one, it won't be until Wonder Voyage ends, since the key visual didn't indicate one.
>>290496799Liko was the butch this whole time.
>>290496724Cute and gay
>>290489997>Itakura: Yeah, we all sang what sounded like "Pika Pika". We've never said "Pika Pika" so much in our lives (laughs). So it sounds like they're probably just going to have a short scene where they do one little song, and that'll be it for them.
>>290497776Yeah, I expect them to have like one minute of total screentime or so.
You knew someone would draw this.
>>290498609Sasuga.
>>290496922I can see them doing one towards the end of the gen, like they did with Satoshi.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2093217160093135002>Friday is Pokémon Anime Day! "Emo-Special", the move created through pure happenstance, is a move that really gives the feels. However, even though Liko keeps practicing it before going on stage to perform it in front of an audience, she really struggles with giving orders to Laudbon and Wanival, who aren't her Pokémon. She also has trouble being in sync with Masquernya... will things go better during the real deal?
>>290500209
>>290500218
>>290500209Oh, so that's what it's supposed to look like.
>>290500230
Looks like they're pretty fucked.
>>290500209So basically they pull off a visually impressive move during practice and Navi insists the enter a Pokemon Contest to show it off?
>>290500209Did they accidentally reveal the name of >>290489810
>>290500209>Emo-Special>EmoDoesn't look emo to me.
>>290500612It's Japanese slang, doesn't have anything to do with the English "emo"
Poor Liko, I guess they didn't practice this move very well.
>>290500230And the cat feels ignored too, that explains its behavior on stage.
Guess the Contest wasn't the best idea.
>>290501335I assume it was Navi's idea.
>>290501465Obviously.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2093254862255579285>There was an issue with the "Dreamy Giveaway Campaign" that started Friday August 21st that prevented lottery entries from being made after midnight to Friday August 28th.

The venue is filled with skilled performers, last but not least the Pikachu idol group "Cutie Pikapika", and Liko starts feeling quite uneasy... Watch her put everything she's got into her performance in the Pokémon anime episode coming up soon at 6:55pm on the TV Tokyo Network, okay?
>>290501866Here we fucking go!
Poor Liko.
>>290501815Guess it was supposed to end at midnight today and they fucked up and had it end at midnight TO today isn't...?
10 minutes, let's do this!
>>290502191Ready to give Liko my support!
They need to update that "kono ato sugu" segment, it still has footage from the Fake Rising Volt Tacklers episode.
Starting
Monmonmonmon
There's the move
Emoi
That was a pretty well animated sequence for an outsourced episode.
Stream is really laggy today for some reason.
Dot is the one teaching them the word the word emoi. I thought it'd be Navi
Why is this border cutting off part of the episode?
Yeah, the contest is Navi's idea.
>>290502362The data broadcast? It's just the stream source having it turned on
>>290502361And the zamasu thing is Navi
Wow, what the fuck was up with that Barrierd's voice
Navi knows her idles.
>>290502385That one judge Navi is interested in says it too.
That Pika song was pretty catchy actually.
Who is that zamasu woman's va? It sounds familiar.
>Roy eyecatchThat seems wrong
Fucking Uruto is more interested in hos popcorn than the contest
Liko is going to lose because she covers her legs
>>290502472That's more like it.
What's with all the cats in this episode?
>>290502502Needs more leg
Metamon to the rescue
Metamon's little mimic movements are super cute
At this point just give Ditto to Liko.
I like how Liko just pretended this was part of the plan
>>290502542Nah, it's cuter with Navi.
So she got disqualified, that makes sense.
Zamasu
Have they not done a segment on Pikachu already?
At least Uruto got his food.
>Liko thanked Dot for her cute outfir
>>290502592How did she got the size for it?
>>290502582I think they did in the very first segment, but they're treating the Starmie ones as separate.
>>290502576EMOI!!!!
>>290502600Dot knows Liko's sizes very intimately
>they showed the ice cream ad with Cutie StreetThat was fitting
Oh shit Raifort is back?
Who's back next episode? I saw Hassaku, Raifort and the Dragon Speed Gang in the preview
>Liko befriends miraidon through the power of churrosSpanish food to the rescue
>Cap digs other Pikachus>Has an hoard of himself roaming ages agoFriede's Pikachu appreciates the finer sex and his descendants underlined the power of based in his taste.
>>290502661Hoping for Poppy
>>290502661Probably the other professors for good measure, seeing how it somewhat shifts between a city and a field.
>>290502665It's the legs making the difference.
DotLiko status?
Why was Liko so pissed.

https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2093283727510307046>Pokémon Anime Highlight:>Liko stood on stage, visibly nervous. And just as she had nailed Laudbon and Wanival's moves and was about to complete the centerpiece of her performance, "Emo-Special"... Masquernya walked off stage in the middle of the performance, heading backstage to Metamon...?!

https://x.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/2093284994567360641>In today's episode of the Pokémon anime, Liko entered a Pokémon Contest with Masquernya, Laudbon and Wanival! Make sure to check out the performances the other skilled Pokémon put on as well, okay?
>>290502972Was that really a highlight?
>>290503010TardKo.
>>290503076Was nice to hear the classic Purin song again desu
>>290502912Most likely after the squishy episode.
The marketing for this episode is weird, they gave us interviews and shit a MONTH ago, then they spent last week giving us these countdown videos and photos, but now it's just crickets after the episode actually aired.
>>290502592Dot replied she took a lot of cute photos so she enjoyed it too.
>>290503217They took Liko's shorts away. I'd be mad too.
>>290503226All for her Likompilation.
>>290503217Yeah, they barely did any post-episode tweets either.
>>290503643Cute and gay
So did Liko lose or what?
>>290503955Disqualified, but got a special award to make up for it.
>>290503955Ditto wasn't checked in.
So what rating do you expect for the episode?
>>29050416184? Nice to have a Liko episode again, but it felt like it could've used a bit more substance.
>>290504161My stream was lagging so fucking bad I need to rewatch the ep to judge it properly. But it seemed decent.
>>29050416186. It was fun, and Navi role playing the judge was super adorable. She keeps being such a great addition to the show.
>>290504188Pretty close, anon
>>290504608That seems fair.
>>290504608We're back up in the general area of the higher rated Wonder Voyage episodes now.
>>290504677Pretty average rating for this show, that seemed about right. Feels a bit higher than it actually is due to the lower ratings most timeskip eps got.
Liko appreciated the outfit dot chose for her... though she does think including underwear was a bit weird... and so was asking to watch her try it on.
>>290504964>chosePretty sure Dot made it.
Navi really stole the show here, all her dialogue was great.>is just treating Uruto as a hired thug now
>>290502894>Fumitake Ishiguro: Snow J. PowderWho was that?
>>290505173The guy that performed before Liko.
Liko in western order and Roy in eastern order.
>>290504608Feels a bit low. I thought the episode was really good.
Licko Liko
Dotliko status?
>>290505871Dot personally signed up to make Liko a cute outfit, and also took the opportunity to enter her in the contest under the name "Nyannyan Likoliko"
>>290506026>"Nyannyan Likoliko"CUTE
Hi anons, was there anything you wanted translated or clarified from today's episode?
>>290505044What the fuck?
>>290506589Why was Liko pissed?And what the conversation at the end about?
>>290506687>Why was Liko pissed?She learned someone (Dot) had entered her under the name "Nyannyan Likoliko and Her Companions">And what the conversation at the end about?At the very end? They were talking about while the disqualification meant the performance wasn't going to stay in the official records, it would still remain in the hearts of the audience that saw it, and that surely the kind of unexpected incident that took place during it is what "feels" are all about in the first place. Then they spot the evening star in the sky and get the feels from that too.It's a good scene.
>>290506840Surely this is what Dot calls Liko when they play cats in bed
>>290489067https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m15TWjFsgao&list=RDm15TWjFsgao&start_radio=1Look at what Yuu Takatsuki and MAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINA just dropped
>>290506840Or here>Liko: That was so fun!>Uruto: I got to eat lots of good food. Don't underestimate the food stalls at Contests.>Navi: Geez, all you did was eat, Uruto. Surely Liko's performance was more important. It hit you right in the feels!>Liko: Haha, it was full of incidents, though.>Roy: Yeah, but that's what feels are all about.>Uruto: I still don't get what that means.>Dot: The performance isn't going to stay in the official records, but it will remain in the hearts of the audience that saw it.>Navi: Why, it's all thanks to Coach Navi.>Liko: That's right. Thank you, Navi. And thank you for the cute outfit, Dot!>Dot: I got to take even more great photos, so I enjoyed myself too.>Navi: Metamon, isn't it great that Masquernya invited you into the performance?>Liko: And Masquernya, thank you for doing your best to create such a wonderful performance.>Dot: Wanival, you were super instagenic today as well!>Roy: Laudbon, your song was so cool, resounding over such a huge stage.>Liko: It's thanks to you all that we made this the best Pokemon Contest ever.>Dot: Now that the event is over, you feel both accomplished and a little sad, don't you?>Liko: Yeah...>Liko: The Evening Star!>Roy: That...>Everyone: ...gives us the feels!>Uruto: I keep asking you what that word means!!!
>>290507138Fucking Uruto
>>290507193Uruto and Navi were both great this episode, the writers are really starting to lean into the comedy their personalities can add to an episode.
>>290507021Nice, saw that earlier.
>>290506589That "why"/zamasu thing Navi was doing was her mimicking the main judge, right?
>>290507342Yeah (her name was Yuzuko). The reason Navi presented herself as such an expert was because she had watched one (1) Pokemon Contest video the day before and become completely enamored with Yuzuko's speaking style and mannerisms.
>>290505328Make sense since Liko is from Spain and Roy is from Japan
>>290507138>Liko: That's right. Thank you, Navi. And thank you for the cute outfit, Dot!>Dot: I got to take even more great photos, so I enjoyed myself too.Gay.
Really good episode, probably my favorite from Wonder Voyage so far. The Nicolive guys underrated it for sure.
>>290507652Damn, this image is like the concentrated thoughts of this thread.
>>290507652>Top left HOT
>>290507652Pit sex and thigh sex with Liko
>>290507652Blessed moa understands that legs should be free.
I've lost gallons to Liko.
>>290508120Time to lose a couple more >>290507652
Cute.
>>290508640Someone's a fan.
Imagine the fanart if Liko's contest outfit had shorts.
>>290509160Or a miniskirt.
>>290508640Did Cap get busy with them?
>>290511619More like they got busy with Cap
>>290507652Man, this is up there with >>290494409 as some of the best fanart we have for this show.
we're literally getting an episode where a guy invites Liko home to do some squeezing
>>290514110Lucky bastard got her to say yes too.
>>290514626Now take the pants off.
>>290504608>>290505628I blame the lack of bare legs
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2093488864790974769>Tomorrow's episode of Pokédoko will feature Tom Brown dressed as Hassaku and Mototokage, who will try their hands on not the Motototkage Race that Liko, Roy and the others will enter in the next episode of the Pokémon anime, but a Pokédoko Race!
>>290518401Oh yeah fuck, I knew Nunokawa was going to dress as Hassaku again, but I wrote it off as a callback to last time he did that instead of a hint that Hassaku would appear in the next anime episode.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2093488924186570956>Masquernya had gone to pick up Metamon, who then joined the others on the Pokémon Contest stage after trying to Transform. This truly hits you... right in the feels!!! Watch the performance the group put together in the Youtube upload, mon!
>>290518579Emoi
>>290518579Emoi!
Can Liko and Dot's love be accepted by society?
>>290518688No.But that won't stop them
>>290518579The Masquernya transformation doesn't quite live up to the Miniguru and Kairyu ones, I think.
>>290504677The squishy episode will get a 90 for sure.
>>290519417What are they going to squish.
>>290519513Liko's thighs.
https://x.com/poke_times/status/2093519040920551509>The Cutie Pikapika sure are cute, aren't they?
>>290519912You know who's also cute? Dot.
>>290519912I thought they'd have a bigger role in the episode.
>>290519989Celebrity guest VAs usually don't have very big roles. They tend to be both busy and not have much acting experience.
>>290520053Yeah, I got the feeling they had their own private recording session instead of being there with the regular VAs >>290489997 >>290490018 >>290490034
>>290520242They did, they always do that with the celebrities we see dubbing session footage of on Pokedoko. These people just have too busy schedules to be able to show up for the show's regular recording session for that episode.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2093534457714401584>We present a key frame of the Cutie Pikapika from episode 147. Make sure to check out the performance these super cute Pikachu put on in the Youtube upload.
>>290520750Cuties
>>290520750They should do a music video with them where they perform the ED
>the reason Liko's outfit had pants is because Dot designed it and Dot is not used to the idea of bare legs so she defaulted to pants
>>290521763...fuck, that actually makes sense
Liko only entered the contest to show off the new combo move they made, right?
>>290522053Yeah. It's why they played rock paper scissors to determine who would enter.
>autocomplete shows "Liko side-eyes", "Liko siren" and "Liko changing" have been trending hard today
>>290522757>"Liko changing"I love you, Japan
>>290522757siren?
>>290522875Minoringo played the siren character in the super popular Chiikawa movie (and did an in-character song for her), so there's been lots of Liko/siren stuff and art lately.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-WNv__nxlM
>>290522924I need to watch Chiikawa, I see so much about it everywhere these days.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2093579544569770399>Pokémon Anime Highlight:>The name of Liko's team of Masquernya, Laudbon and Wanival was "Nyan-Nyan Likoliko And Her Companions". It seems like Liko didn't quite approve of this overly cute name Dot had given it, though... Watch them shine on stage in the Youtube upload, okay?
>>290523183I've seen that shot of Liko giving Dot the side eyes so many times these past few days.
>>290523183Does this count as a DotLiko scene?
>>290523234Yes
>>290523234Dot made us see a side of Liko we don't usually see.

Can't remember the last time an episode got this much fanart.
>>290526229Either the Dot episode with the pink dress or Friede's return from space.
>>290526280Probably the Friede one, both Friede himself and Instructor Starmie got tons of art.
>>290524369>>290524494Very cute. Canon in my book.
>>290518401So we can expect a decent bit of news here, rgiht?
>>290527735Don't expect too much, the focus on such episodes is mostly about promotion through themed party games and such rather than video clips or infomration.

Okay guys, will they catch the Raidons?
>>290543596Maybe, since they have Raifort there to explain what they are.
What will Raifort do for Liko and the others next week? Dance with joy or buy them treats from the food stalls?
>>290543990Obviously A
>>290543990Please be the dance.
>>290543596I think so. They're much more prominent in the OP than anything else besides Navi and Metamon.
The Raidons are supposed to be common in their time period, right?
>>290544935Yeah, they're the past and present forms of Mototokage.

>>290546959Maybe, but Orio deserves Friede after how much she's suffered.

>>290553133You mean title card? I doubt it, the setup is Masquernya using Trick Flower to pop the other two into existence, and that doesn't work if Masquernya is Metamon.
