Pokémon has enraptured audiences since its debut in April 1997, and the hype surrounding the franchise has only grown in recent years. With Ash and Pikachu stepping down as the series’ protagonists at the end of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys, it’s time for a new duo to come into the spotlight, and Liko and Roy fit the role just fine.
Through the two children’s eyes, fans will continue to explore the Pokémon universe in Pokémon Horizons: The Series. The anime was announced last December and premiered earlier today in Japan. Naturally, a large portion of its fans are scattered around the globe, and anticipation is building as they search for ways to stream the anime.
Where to watch Pokémon Horizons: The Series
At the time of writing, the Pokémon Horizons episodes are only been aired on a Japanese broadcasting network, TV Tokyo. This means that, for now, there is no way for international fans to watch the anime legally — however, there’s still hope for them. In the past, Netflix has been a great source of Pokémon content, with episodes typically hitting the streaming platform in batches a few months after their premiere in Japan.
All that said, it’s worth noting that there hasn’t been an official confirmation from Netflix or the series’ animation studio. In fact, an international release date has not even been announced, meaning that, currently, this is merely speculation. Pokémon fans will have to await further information to know when and where to watch the newest installment of the franchise, which will likely take a while.
For now, those who are not yet caught up with recent releases can stream Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series on Netflix.
