Japan RANKS every Gen 9 Pokemon trainer here:
czcams.com/video/ziem-lIRWJg/video.html
This horrible Pokemon trainer is just boring and it's also FUCKING GARBAGE!!! POKEMON HORIZONS FUCKING SUCKS!!! THE POKEMON ANIME SERIES NEEDS TO GO BACK TO NORMAL!!! I WANT ASH, PIKACHU AND TEAM ROCKET BACK!!! I WANT ASH, PIKACHU AND TEAM ROCKET BACK SO BADLY!!!
To me I liked the pre sun and moon anime episodes for your secret sauce reasons but adding a 4th that was also missing from S&M and Journeys
Personal time with crew.
That one more than the others is why I liked them all and up til S&M decided to drop kick it off a cliff.
I mean not counting Neko-libre and sleepy sniper owl no one else on his team got proper screen time for personal growth. rock pup maybe but that was never Ashes pokemon in my eyes so it does not count.
Journeys trended even further from this with Goh's indiscretions and Ash becoming Brock but not girl crazy.
Just no time with anyone but the Bunny and that is just about it.
Horizons had that sauce from the start and so long as we get good screen time with rest of crew it will be awesome.
@@eric4636 The Pokémon Anime series is where it should have been at the start of Hoenn.
I miss for sports format of Pokémon anime, this was a amazing Pokémon anime classical in elements. Yeah, Team Rocket trio(Jessie, James & Meowth) always digs holes in ground because create traps for Ash & his friends, but was very cool, really cool, still wondering why originally creators Pokémon anime not decide continues Chloe Cerise & her Eevee as spin - off Pokémon Journyes or Goh too or Serena too this is potecial which is wasted! Most wasted and we probably never discover new adventures of Chloe Cerise or Goh or Serena, we never not watch what new hearing to Ash Ketchum & Pikachu(which of did catch Gyarados or not) and this is most sad. Ah... I dream because ride on again together Ash & his friends all they adventures but this time in first Pokémon PC video game(not from hack only full PC video game on UE5 or new version this engine!) and try say: What if...
Yes, this is my big Pokémon dream, and I will because this dream was dream all Pokémon community(EU which of Poland, bots America, Africa which of Middle West, Asia which of Japan and Korea , Oceania & NZ & Australia) which together with Originally Creators of Pokémon universe and dev partnerships: Ubisoft, Warner Bros Games and Epic Games(owns Unreal Engine license) create the first full-featured PC Pokémon video games. Let's chats and tell me what you think about this.
I still won't watch it
There’s an actual proper storyline here. It’s a solid show
True, after all pokemon are the one who makes pokemon
mid asf lol
@@I.tornadokingps Better than 4 of the Pokémon Anime seasons, where Ash was the main protagonist, released after Orange Islands.
@@I.tornadokingps If you actually watched Horizons and think it’s mid, it’s clear you didn’t watch Ash because if this is mid… then boy do I have news for you. The Masters 8 is the only good thing to come out of Ash in about a decade

“How can he counter the opponent’s strategy without using the damn sprinkler”
Killed me 😂😂😂
same
similar thing happened to hapu
Liko is a breath of fresh air, we get to see her find her ambitions and what she wants to do. She acts like a 10
year old and we see her overcome her anxiety as she becomes friends with dot and roy, she isnt over the moon about battling, but she doesnt hate it either. Shes a good character with a lot of future potential, and i love seeing her build bonds with her pokemon.
Liko's amazing in every way possible. Her character has been written so beautifully. Although people call her boring and bland, I feel her to be realistic. She feels more of a human. Her episodes are deep and interesting.
She doesn’t act like a 10 year old, she acts slightly older than that.
@@Aditya17-v3p she is kind of boring imo
@@Aditya17-v3p a lot of anime protags are very extroverted so it's nice to see one that isn't
@@jonathanalexis6792 If you feel so, I respect your opinion. But I feel nice to have a character, so deep and relatable. Moreover, I love to see Introverted characters developing, Lillie was my only favourite female main character or Pokégirl, before her. She may be boring or whatever you call, but we have to accept that Liko has a lot of potential. Her development is slow, but feels awesome.
I've been watching Horizons since day 01 and I never had any regrets watching it. They are more focused on the story with a hint of battles here and there.
This show is well balanced imho and people are now seeing why.
I agree too
I stopped watching after XYZ and now I'm getting interested again
Watching this video to try and convince myself to see the first episode and man I really want to try it now
@@dizzyheads I prefer the Japanese dub over the English one. I would suggest you start with that to appreciate the anime. That's just my opinion of course.
@@dizzyheadsas an xy/xyz glazer its as good if not better than xy/xyz
HELP ME I CAN'T FIND WHERE TO WATCH ITTTT, NETFLIX SUCKS (in America they only have the first 2 arcs)
I personally disagree when he says that the new villains are lacking. Something I disliked about team rocket is that they had no reason to follow ash for several years other than “That twerp has a pretty strong pikachu! Let’s grab it for the boss!” It always bothered me that they were so dumb. A little dumb comedy relief is great now and then, but I love that the new villains (aside from Coral) have more than five brain cells. I love the genius schemes of Spinelle, where he spends time preparing and observing the enemy. I love the headstrong actions of Amethio and the way he and Friede can never quite finish a fight. I love when the tactics the enemy uses isn’t the same pit trap 29 times in a row before finally realizing it doesn’t work. While I’m sad that team rocket has blasted off for the final time, I love the methods and motivations behind every villain. Wouldn’t trade them back if I were given the chance.
Exactly. Team Rocket was amazing but their antics had no base. Following Ash on to the end, they feel more of a comedy, not evil. Explorers have interesting arcs and they are just amazing in every way possible. I love to see them.
@Aditya17-v3p Because they aren't evil. Did you watch back in Ash's era?
They were fleshed out sentimental and lovable characters. They had their reasons, they weren't meant to be evil geniuses
@@natalimoina Now, that's the actual point. That's what I was saying. Team Rocket were not evil, but still termed antagonists, that's the actual point. And where did it lead to? Actually, nowhere. Team Rocket never got the ending they deserved. They just left the series as mere roadside snatchers (I don't wanna demean them, I loved them, but they seemed to be for nothing more than comedic relief).They could have left the Team and turn good, why do things which do not suit you?
@@natalimoina I am not against Team Rocket and please, don't judge whether I have watched back in Ash's era or not. I have been following the series since 2010 and watched every single episode.
But, we need to accept the fact that Explorers are better and more fleshed out villains than Team Rocket..
The past few months has brought back the consistent quality of the first 25 episodes.
I would say when they reached episode 38 they brought back the consistent quality
I'd argue that the current arc ever since episode 46 has been the worst part of the show so far. Though Dot's battle in episode 50 was really good. Granted I'm not caught up anymore with the latest episode I watched episode 53, so maybe the latest few episodes have gotten better.
Horizon really surprised me that they evolved the main characters main Pokémon which honestly made me like the change of protagonist a tiny bit more
i remember seeing the leaks for the hattena evo episode coming RIGHT after wattrels and i was thinking to myself “theres no way, the writers are crazy for this”
if you think about it, the three kids initial failures are narratively similar to ash getting a badge by chea-*ehem* getting creative in the original season. aside from Roy, they are not really battlers and all of them are only just starting to get what they want out of their journey
eheheheh
We dont talk about that here
I personally never think of liko,roy,and dot's trial as your usual gym badge fight.
Remember the goal was never to win against the gym leader, so it's okay to lose, as long as they learn something about terrastalize, which they are still worthy of the gym "badge" and the how gym leader is not allowed to terrastilize themself while in the trial.
"wait... Pokemon Horizons is good?"
Always has been.

The horizon is soo good tbh because this is a "we don't know our finish line but we do have a journey" type of storyline a directionless adventure which is fun imo
Horizons was always entertaining from day 1 imo. Ppl just needed to take the nostalgia glasses off. It's been a wonderful breath of fresh air
The current arc really nailed it with getting gym leaders and E4 members more involved with the main cast.
I really enjoyed Horizons from the start, because of how fresh it felt. Mixing that with the new Terastal Course arc made me enjoy the anime more than I ever had.
I hope the characters actually learn and remember what they have learned going forward, Ash seemingly forgetting everything he learned is what bugged me a whole bunch.
Ash never forgot
Ash only forgot in bw and s and m which was a soft reboot. Others were consistent.
@@animatedmvs8818 Ok, either you are lying on Purpose or you honestly forgot how forgetful Ash always was. And because the graphics in s&m were so damn bad, even worse than the original Seasons, i refused to watch this Seasons so i know nothing about the s&m Seasons but i saw everything until x&y and can tell you Ash forgot at least 50 Times what he learned in previous Seasons or even just a few Episodes earlier. So no, Ash was never consistent trough the whole Show.
@@natalimoinanot every pokémon anime has to revolve around ash
@@animatedmvs8818 God you reminded me of bw. I will once again never stop yapping about how a tournament level pikachu with a tournament experienced trainer lost to a lvl 1 snivy
We have to appreciate youtubers trying their best to hype the series
Bro, they succeeded. I go to Netflix now.
its genuinely kinda nice i still rewatch the older anime but i wait like 3 weeks then binge it, you shouldnt drop it because ash isnt there. respectfully
Ash gone. Me gone.
people like you give me life
Yes we do!
Ash is a world champ now.
Liko has potential as a new protagonist.
I like almost everything in the anime thus far.
The only thing I dont like is the fact that the gym battles Liko and the rest went through are just "exams".
They dont need to win the gym battles. They just need to "pass" their criteria.
I'll be honest, that's probably not htat far off of how they are in-universe. As in, you don't have to FIGHT the Gym Leaders to earn their badges.
bc those werent gym battles. remember the actual games, there is a timeskip between mc enrolling in the school and them going on the treasure hunt. that timeskip is for skipping over learning how to terastallize. im expecting this to be the same, once they are able to terastallize whenever they want they'll probably also be sent on a treasure hunt and properly battle gym leaders.
I mean would you rather have Ash win his gym badge by saving Pokemon, forfeiting, or even making them laugh? I'd rather have how Horizons is doing so far if I were to choose.
i literally do not get what peoples problem is with them not having to win do you really want the inexperienced trainers to overpower gym leaders AS HIGH UP AS IONO???
@@lilli7040you understand what a gym even is?
it's always been incredible, just that too many people just can't accept the fact that Ash's journey is done and that this is a whole different character who's journey is completely different now and just contains a few easter eggs and homages to Ash's journey.
I'm pretty sure he just spent almost 10 minutes talking about how the problem wasn't that people can't accept Ash is gone. I mean, lots of people have been saying they should age up or drop Ash for years.
@@itsishbish2689you would be surprised that a lot of people, especially newer generation that grow up watching Ash's recent series, still can't accept Ash being replaced and prefer his adventure more
I have a feeling this time we will see a character actually grow, like maybe Liko will actually grow into an adult seeing that there are young and adult casts with both themes being dealt with. Battles are there but this time show focuses more on stories with Pokemon
??
I would love to see more mature themes involved within a Pokemon anime. I know that these are particularly targeted towards younger audiences but I feel like the old fans are getting left behind.
@@natalimoinaare you dumb? Why are you questioning… what
Oh Arceus, imagine if Horizons does a 3-5 year timeskip mid-series.
I've noticed the massive shift too, and tbh, I liked the first arcs more than this new one. Having said that, this latest arc feels a lot more like the original pokemon anime, and I'm guessing this shift was completely intentional in response to negative reactions to the first section of Horizons. I also don't dislike this new section at all, the characterization and storytelling is still the best the pokemon series has ever been, but I am sort of hoping this structure is a temporary one. I absolutely loved the more anime-esque style within the pokemon world, and loved the idea that characters could come of age in so many different ways. Horizons really focused on showing that while not everyone is a professional battler, growing stronger, battling, and developing bonds with your pokemon is still important for so many other reasons, and I honestly loved that.
WARNING: !prepare for yapping!
i feel like what makes a good pokemon anime is adventure and being in a new area/ city/ environment every few episodes, what i liked about all the pokemon animes is how ash was always going to different places, i started watching pokemon less in journeys cus i wasn't rly a fan of ash living somewhere even though he went to different places and adventures it just didn't feel the same.
Horizons has been amazing since the start. And as you said, about the secret sauce, it has made the series even more beautiful. I am loving this series so much and I would like to watch more of Liko, Roy and Dot, even after their chase for Laqua concludes. They feel so realistic and relatable.
I've been there since the beginning, and I really love Horizons because it's more story based, taking their time fleshing out its characters and their teams.
Plus this is probably the closest thing we can get to what an adventuring trainer does inside the pokemon universe and it's a really nice breath of fresh air.
What I like about horizons. I actually watch it as a whole series for the plot. With the Ash series, I could just watch a random episode when my daughter was watching and it doesn’t matter what episode it was, it was always the same formula.
I fell in love with it once I heard the theme song. Its a beautiful way to show a story of discovering yourself, a nice balance of vulnerability and courage. But what makes it really special to me is how its about realizing your dreams with a chosen family. Its such an unusual blend of characters all living happily together. It makes me want to buy a big zeppelin with a bunch of my friends, live together, and go on adventures.
I enjoyed the first part of Horizons. It was refreshing to see a more story driven Pokemon anime than the traditional sports format. I'm still thoroughly enjoying it.
I'm sensing a new approach to the anime. New series/characters every few years (every gen?), just like they do with Pretty Cure for example.
I love this concept!! It would really give the anime more room to explore separate stories per game, and I think Pokemon’s an iconic enough of a brand to be able to maybe regularly introduce new “protagonist” characters with each game adaptation.
That's pretty good. But i want horizon stays for atleast 2 generations
Or they're milking Liko and Roy for 25 years just like Ash - but in all seriousness I'd really like the changing protagonist-scenario for each new region, with occasional in-universe mentioning of the most beloved old characters.
Hmmm... Interesting think, who know maybe this make a sense. New series and characters in Pokémon anime sounds interesting!
You forgot to mention some battles in Horizon got FINALLY some sakuga animation we've been missing since the days of XYZ. Only very few battles in Sun&Moon and Journeys had that (even if I'd personally like even more effects like 3D-camera to the battles). It's maybe not the pinnacle of anime fight eye candy (which I'm not even expecting), but it's still definitely a major upgrade to Ash's last 2 series.
SM had way better animation than XY already
@@natalimoinaNah, something about XY animation hits diferente, but i dont know what.
They are also more believable now. Right at the beginning we see the Damage of Attacks missing their Target on the Battlearea while on the Years with Ash, missing Attacks barely ever did any Damage.
Most battles in HZ are way better than xyz
bro its just artstyle different @igorzitio
Pokemon horizons was already peak but they also managed to make it even better
YAS
Nah
5:17 this is the feeling I had,
It felt more like a special series than a new series
In a landscape fill with ai garbage, it fills me with joy seeing the small chibi drawings of all the characters in this video
The beginning was slow and so was the development, but it’s gotten really good. I look forward to watching the new episodes every Saturday now
In Dot's battle, I thought it wasn't that bad & it made sense how the battle played out: most of Dot's team took damage from only Sandstorm, Rock Smash, Brick Break, & Rock Slide (1st half of those moves do deal too much damage) & with Bellibolt kind of a tank, it made sense it was able to tough through & use Quaxly-charged Zap Cannon to Copperajah, Who Was the main one of Poppy's pokemon that kept taking all the damage (albeit overall it was mainly Iono's win than Dot's). For Roy's battle, it really was one-sided as most of it ended up with him powering up Baxcalibur to Glaive Rush Double KO.
- As for Sango's, it was declared that she Lost her battle as the rule was the 1st pokemon knocked out either side loses, and Glalie knocked itself out First with Self-Destruct to knock out everyone else.
- Onyx I sorta get why he lost: Onyx is a Soldier-Warrior. He wasn't going to sacrifice/let Tulip (his tag partner/backup~subordinate) be defeated so he & Garganacl took the hit for her which made them lose. If Onyx hadn't, he'd feel like it'd be disgraceful to him. He really is a Soldier with a Warrior's Honor & Pride. He might be my fav Explorer
> Despite the outcome of the battle, Liko did a pretty good job in her battle!!!!! This tag battle definitely was the best of the 3 with Rika's consecutive attacks from Katy's unleashed battling with Lokix both supportive & offensive (got super surprised Swarm activated) & Liko's Floragato learning Acrobatics {Love she learned the move after being inspired by Lokix's battle movements & maybe from its Bounce attack!!!!} And if it's any consolation for Liko, She was the only one to make her Elite 4 get Serious enough to go Tera; that's saying something in comparison with the others.
At least after crying, I'm glad Liko felt better afterwards. AND at long last, Liko has Finally Found it; Beyond the Battle- Liko has Finally found Her Drive ~ the joy in Serious Battling!!!!!!!!!! Our Girl's On her Way!!!!! She's finally found the joy in battling for real & it will make her stronger!!!!!
While I think it’s important for a Pokemon anime to feature game characters, I also think that having a ton of them appear isn’t necessary at the start. Horizons taking the time to focus on its core cast of original characters was a better move since this isn’t like the old days where Ash had 2 or 3 game characters traveling with him so you grab that game audience by default. I’d say Rika is a pretty clear indicator of why focusing on Horizon’s core audience is important because while Rika was “making waves” it was almost entirely just for her being around and not for her relationship with Liko (at least on the western side of twitter). With how Horizons is going, its definitely a good move to have an arc for the game cast to start appearing more often to draw attention to Horizons and possibly get people to start watching the show, but Horizons was right to build a core fanbase of the shows leads because people who are only there for the games characters will likely drop it once they think the characters they’re there for aren’t going to show up anymore. And that’s assuming they even watch all the episodes and don’t just watch the ones with characters they like.
Ash is himself a game character. Technically.
The another thing you forgot to mention is that Horizons focuses a lot more to it's characters than the "original" Pokémon animes did. Like Liko as a person had more character development in a single year than Ash had in the whole 26 years (maybe except the Indigo League and XYZ)
I think DP is the better other series to use than Indigo personally.
@@Mojo1356 I used Indigo because it has moments of Ash becoming from a immature rookie trainer to more mature one.
@@Mojo1356 Even though Indigo League is where Ash's character is established, and Ash has no character to speak of outside of what's been flanderized in DP?
@@trollenburger Ash didn't develop in the XY anime. Sun and Moon would be the better series to use over XY when it comes to Ash developing for that very reason.
@@LittleAl016 In the Sun&Moon the more serious development moments for Ash itself has been few and far between. Not to say there aren't any brilliant arcs, like Lillie's and Ash's Litten's/Torracat's/Incineroar's arcs (also the Mallow's and Shaymin's mini-arc), but the character development itself - for Ash specifically... Well, he won his first major regional league and wondered the life of Alola, that's it.
In the XY(Z) there was at least one major arc of character development for Ash, when he needed to master the Ash-Greninja transformation. And he seemed like a more mature mentor figure for his travelling companions thorough the series.
Some seasons of ash's adventures I thought were legitimately good for anime but the quality definitely went up and down through out the years. Its nice to see that now that Ash is retired as a character , that they're now genuinely trying to make a good anime series with a fresh outlook and new ideas.
Pokemon company:I'm too tired of battles (creates a adventure instead of battles)
Nah pokemon adventure still exists
@@ZADHUNTER well tbh pokemon horizon is mostly adventures
And the past, ash Ketchum is mostly battles
I am 37 yo the “sprinkler” episode was aired almost 26 years ago and I am still mad.
Horizons feels like an actual anime where as Ashs era felt like a kids cartoon. 🥸
simp
Fuck you, i hate that you're right
Literally
But it was fire af 🔥
Nailed it.
I’ve been enjoying so so much!! I love how there’s a proper mystery to solve and everything feels fresh and new. Love it
Dude, I just found your channel. I only watched a little bit of Horizons, but this got me super excited. I’m a huge sports fan and a huge Pokémon fan, and I never made the connection. Helluva insightful videos, thanks!
People are now realising it?
Since ep1 the show was fantastic and much more enjoyable than the last 2 ash series.
Horizons is an easy 10/10 series.
😂, the last 2 were the peak of pokemon brother
@@natalimoina As much as I recognize how good Sun and Moon and Journeys are, they're not the peak of the Pokémon Anime. That would be Indigo League and Orange Islands.
Yeah, the last 2 series kind of sucked, i get why people like then but i personally dont like then much
@@igorzitio Sun and Moon and Journeys did not "suck".
@@LittleAl016 That's what I said, I know why some people like it, but personally, with emphasis on personally, I didn't like it, and for me both sucked.
Still, I would love to see the Pocket Monster Special be made into OVAs.
0:09 “But then, the Pokemon Company shocked everyone!”
Correction: “But then, the Pokemon Company shocked no one!”
yeah we.. kinda already knew ash was leaving after journeys and the spin-off.
Agree 😅
I aint watching it.
As soon as Ash won, most causal fans thought he became a Pokémon Master. There is literally nothing they can do with Ash anymore unless they want to make his biggest achievement feel pointless by keeping him around.

@@Lightning-lr4bz does it matter if i spam or not? Nobody cares anyway. Well sorry. Bye.
Great video! As someone who only likes Pokemon casually and got to watch Horizons because "oh hey, it's a reboot; now I won't have to catch up to 1000+ episodes to begin watching," your explanation helped me understand the perspective of gamers and long-time viewers of the Ash era. I admit that I'm all for the storytelling, and while watching the battles in the Terastal arc have been really really fun, I can't wait until the anime resumes the search for the Six Heroes. But maybe I feel that way ~because~ I'm disconnected from the rest of the franchise.
Insert going beyond horizons joke here. But yeah, it's always been fun but now it's including more of Ash era charm in the current arc along with the already existing plot. Best of both
Its a solid show. Its fantastic! Thanks for a wonderful video Charles!! It was amazing
Thanks, Alex! Glad you enjoyed the video (and that you're enjoying Pokemon Horizons!)
@@charusharu you're welcome, and thank you! Pokemon horizons is so good. I'm looking forward to Fridays episode :)
It's unfortunate the creators opted to increase the formulaic, instead of continuing a little pioneering. Horizons was and is a different sort of Pokemon series, and that's something to celebrate. I've been watching the show since 1998, and Horizons is the first time I've been really impressed since XY (and SOME aspects of Sun & Moon, specifically the characters). And before that, it was Diamond & Pearl that impressed me. Indigo was good, Advanced was good, and the rest kind of sucked. The best thing about Journeys was seeing a few plot-points conclude, but it just wasn't good otherwise.
Sounds like you don't even like pokemon
Ehh everything after master quest ended sucked ass with the exception of s/m
The video essay is so good I thought this is a video essay channel. Didn’t I know someone who passionate about his interest.
Quality and Passion how can I not subscribe.
Subscribed!!!
I always love watching your videos charusharu. This video popped up in my suggeqyion and I watched it right away
wait so your telling me people didnt like it as much because it wasnt like previous pokemon? I personally prefer a different predictable schedule than the one from the ash era. Its no longer Arrive, get closer to fighting the gym leader, fight gym leader, leave. Its now a sjorter but more vague and open to side story list such as Go somewhere related to overarching plot, adventure time, find an answer and clue for new destination, leave
I‘m sad that Ash is gone but the new series doesn‘t look bad either.
I still love Pokemon Adventures/Special (the manga) over the Ash era anime (though I still have a lot of nostalgia for the anime), the story feels so much more impactful, but tbh how you've talked about the first year of horizons in this video has convinced me to go watch it lol. Here's to hoping I enjoy it ^^
Those are compelling points...
I haven't watched the anime since after XYZ, but now I want to check out Horizons. :')
Liko must be a desendant of Lucius! 💙🌟
2:51 Bro, don't do that to my girl Dot 😂 she is my fav from the trio
I hate everybody bad thoughts😤😤well there is nothing wrong on Horizons is fine for us😁👍and yes we must give this season time to progress👍and yes our girl Liko is our Iron Heart💚💚💚👩🏻🐱🐈🍃😁👍
Whatever they do, NOTHING will be as good as Pokémon Adventures, which after basically 3 decades, has STILL NOT BEEN ADAPTED and that baffles me.
Hey, it’s better than most of journeys
Journeys was itself good.
@@LittleAl016please😂
I might be alone in this feeling but this return to the status quo kinda just feels slightly underwhelming.
After 8 gens of the same(ish) qualification structure and sports anime style, the first 45 episodes of Horizons felt like a fantastic breath of fresh air and felt like a moment of redefining what the anime can be now that Ash is gone (like a soft reboot that's better handled than how Best Wishes did it). And now we've started Year 2 and it's just battles with Gym Leaders and Elite 4 members again.
I'm not saying I don't want battles at all, I just hope there's a better balance between the older sports anime feel and newer character-driven and admittedly movie-esque storytelling in the future.
i feel like this arc is necessary because the fantasy shit just was not working when your “protagonists” cant even defend themselves from wild pokemon and season 2 REALLY made that issue obvious
captain pikachu/friede in general having to bail them out of tough situations and the hero pokémon getting hit with “the power of friendship” basically
weve seen the trio grow tremendously both in power and person and they really do feel like protagonists now and liko especially now that shes discovered her love for battling
Bw was never a reboot, don't be naive
Also pokemon was always character driven
Thanks! I saw the first few episodes but stopped. Sounds like I need to watch the rest of them.
Yall been sleeping. I was hooked from first episode. I’m glad to see it hasn’t disappointed
On top of that Pokemon Horizons has really well written main plot with a lot of secrets, and they are using shiny variations of Legendary Pokemon.
Pokemon Horizons has PEAKED?
Yep, almost
Hasn't even got off the ground running yet
this is the shittest season ever
pokemon should have had stopped creating more seasons when ash left
@@EqualGoats2020 We're not talking about DP or XY here. Also, Ash's departure is a good thing.
Thank you for no spoling alerted I was just about to watch it
That keijo reference hit me with some whiplash was not expecting that in a pokemon video
great video
Its insane to me how many people I still see hating on Liko just because she's not Ash. I've loved Horizons since the start and, imo, its even better than Ash's saga
Meanwhile I love Liko BECAUSE she's not Ash. She definitely shares some Ash-isms regarding their love for Pokemon, but they're their own characters.
I miss Ash, BUT i really enjoy the new anime. It's just light fun with some game mechanics sprinkled here and there and the characters are interesting to follow and see to grow. I hope Ash may come back as a mentor figure, hopefully grown up to be like the Kakashi or better yet, WolfeyVGC of the pokémon anime :D
Oooh, i've wanted to watch Horizons for a while, but now i'm curious to see Horizons
I've been curious to see it for a while, but now i want tonsee it more
Maybe they'll even show Nemona doing some of her battle spirit
Thas the thing. It Always Was
i love the anime so much. so many good characters
what a great thumbnail and title! i wonder where ive seen that one before
Lorelei. She went by "Prima" in the English dub since that's two syllables akin to her name in Japanese language versions.
Also love that we need that element of logical progression. A lot of games use a similar system to the one used in Pokémon. Find item, use said item elsewhere. In this case, it's the badges or equivalent thereof.
I watched the show every week and although I liked episode by episode, I was considering dropping it because the development of the story was too slow for me until the first arc ended and the show started popping off consistently and now its pretty good.
I still think it has some problems, I wish there was more variability in the battles, the characters pretty much always use the starters.
Other than Roy's Kilowattrel, none of the Pokémon really have decent character arcs (Fuecoco used to have one when he was fanboying over Charizard and aiming to reach it's level but it feels like they forgot about it and made Fuecoco a one note comic relief). Fans fell in love with pokemon like OG Charizard, Greninja, Infernape and Sceptile because of their arcs and I think if Horizons improves on this then it will be amazing.
It seems they're going to improve by having them to a two Pokemon battle in the next gym matches, so there's bound to be spotlight on their second Pokemon
oh he still fanboys over charizard the trio participated in an art contest and after seeing a poster of charizard, they built a charizard statue.
Even when they did pokemon chronicles to focus on little side stories wasnt bad. They did a mystery dungeon episode too. Im curious if they did some tribute to colosseum or xd in the anime then that would be peak.
Pokemon Chronicles was awesome it was so cool to see how previous characters are doing now. That was a time where the creators care about it's characters
I love taking the world and doing something very new with it, so I’d hate for the solution to be to follow more closely to the games and become a marketing tool again, but I can understand that keeping the same atmosphere and important elements of the universe help make them feel more connected and grounded with each other. I’ll have to take another look at Horizons and compte the two sections.
2:52 Dot 💀
Horizons is very interesting in concept and doing it very very good
i’ve been saying this since we met the crew HORIZONS IS AMAZING!!!
9:22 finally! Someone agrees with me that Liko should get an Armarouge :D
2:37 Black Rayquaza?! Gonna have to watch now
You did not disrespect dot like that again
Dot is my favorite character
It's always been incredible.
i can't stop hearing: "terastaru kenshuu"
charusharu when a pokemon character breathes air (POKEMON HISTORY IS CHANGED FOREVER WITH THIS CRAZY NEW SCENE!)
Pokemon horizons is so good, I prefer liko's character over ash. He stayed the same for 25 years and got stale at around after xyz
People complained Ash wasn’t the same after XYZ
@@EWOODJ which is dumb because he was the same but also different. Not just in art style
@@EWOODJ People didn't like the fact that he started winning 😆
@@EWOODJ He wasn't the same after Johto. Sun and Moon fixed that by returning him to the characterization he had in Johto and giving him a proper continuation of it.
@@spinotikus1518 Also, "people" didn't like the fact that he was his own character once again.
Like, deadass. The main reason why the online periphery AniPoké fandom doesn't like SM is because they can't project themselves onto Ash anymore.
It's always been incredible???
Now I just want burger sauce thanks
You also forgot to mention that Freid is cool asf!
Horizons always been good!
At this point(and *my opinion*), Liko best pokégirl>>>
Fight me, Serena fans :/
Like, it's my opinion Liko is best, *but if i see another Serena fangirl debating she's best, Fight me :/*
i feel pokegirl isnt even correct because isnt that a fan term for the girl companions ash had
likos not a companion shes the main character straight up this feels like comparing apples to oranges
@@swift3520 No. It's a term that always has been used to refer to female characters in the Pokémon franchise. Just like how DigiGirl refers to the same, but in regards to Digimon.
@@LittleAl016 Yeah that's what i meant
0:36 the fact that he didn't say "and i'm not talking about ash ketchup" was a missed dad joke.
Am I the only one who's gonna acknowledge how the title and thumbnail are a direct reference to Gigguk's Attack on Titan video?
Ha, what a clickbait title. Everybody already knows that Pokémon Horizons was always incredible.
I mean, this guy's an XY fan. They're pretty much known for clickbait.
Well some Ash fans didn't...
Yep
To preface, I’m only two parts in and couldn’t care less about Ash retiring.
Liko is fine, but her lack of direction leaves Roy has to move the plot forwards, and in that regard he’s just a child asking strangers for directions half the time. It does its job, but I don’t find it very compelling.
Good video, but I don't think I'll watch Horizons. Ever since Sun and Moon started the anime has just left a sour taste in my mouth, so I'm just gonna stick with everything before season 20.
Woww, this review's pretty nice :) I agree with a lot of your points!
Damn you're so right with the Gensaku
at this point if someone is still crying after Ash they are just a disgrace to the community and should be boycotted for good. Conservative Ash fanboys are just hopeless cases & we shouldn't entertain them anymore otherwise the entire fandom would end up backward minded. Let's celebrate the high quality Horizons content & set some standards for ourselves✌
yo your right but we can still grieve him
The rot said Conservative Ash fanboys brought to the fandom still persists.
@@darshan47982Gee, you must have some beef with Ash fanboys
If anyone is a disgrace it’s you. Youre literally supporting a new divide in a fandom that’s already declining cus Scarlet and Violet is genuinely not that good compared to the older games. People should be allowed to miss Ash if they please and if you’re going to have a toxic mindset about it and try to force people to accept Liko as some Ash replacement when the story is only JUST NOW getting the formula right. It’s proof that you’re the toxic fan that’s ruining the fandom and should boycotted instead of the ash fans. It’s like telling Naruto fans to suck up the fact Boruto has bad writing or they should are disgraced from the community, utterly ridiculous.
@@gojira4036the one that i hate is the meat rider one. The one that attacks anybody just because it's not Ash
Literally so so goood
I feel Horizons is starting to find its groove. It wasn’t bad before but now it’s showing better story telling since the gang arrived in Paldea.
Amethio is the best horizons character (I'm just down bad lol)
