The show has not disappointed me yet. It’s got SUCH A COOOOL STORY with the 6 hero’s lore. Like- THATS so Much cooler than any story arc than in the actual games. So far I don’t think there’s been a single “bad episode” so far. The recap ep during the Paldea arc was pretty boring, but I get why it had to exist. Every episode has either been fantastic, or “yeah it’s ok”. Not a single bad character, bad episode, or bad scene. Of this is all IMO lol. Let me know what you all think!

I really like the new series, it seems like a more realistic portrial of the world of Pokemon so far.

It's good. If you like pokemon you'll like Horizons and they're clearly building towards a great overall story. I like the dynamic between adults and children but I do feel like it stunts and delays Liko and Roy's growth when they don't have to solve problems on their own. Hopefully they get more room to grow as characters in the later episodes

Very good video, I am very satisfied with every episode of Horizon, especially episode 23. When Roy laments that the Galarian Moltres is stronger than he imagined, Roy begins to feel fear, and liko notices this and immediately comforts Roy's feelings. Personally , I think the relationship between liko and Roy is that of an older sister and younger brother. And I love how they support and encourage each other in the story. Galarian Moltres and Lucius The farewell scene is so touching And hope that more stories about Lucius and the Six Heroes will be revealed in the future😄

It’s alot better than Journeys I haven’t been disappointed yet I want more!! 😆😆😆

I love Pokémon Horizons. My only complaint with it is that they kicked Ash out right after a season where he was poorly written and a Mary Sue. They shouldn't have let the mess that is Journeys be Ash's last adventure. At least give him one more season to fix his character and make him go on a great note.

So far it's my second-favorite Pokemon series, only behind Diamond and Pearl

I'm actually kinda surprised how serialized the story is. Even though the previous format was fairly episodic, it was easy for new viewers to jump in and out without feeling lost. I'm excited to watch this series with my kids in a few years but I'm unsure if I would have to backtrack for any of the story to make sense. I'm also not sure about the longevity of this series, is Pokemon going to keep Liko and Roy for a long-term tenure or is this just for the generation?

I think fans should give Pokemons Horizons a chance. I certainly will when I can get to see it. However, I just thought of a way to, if they play their cards right, bring back Ash for a special episode or two in Horizons... as well as a way to resolve an old mystery, finally... With a bit of slight retconning, why not make the forgotten GS ball from the earlier anime one of the ancient Pokeballs and have Liko and Roy return to Kanto to retrieve it, meeting Ash and Professor Oak along the way and as originally intended when they open the GS ball, they find a Celibi...? We could perhaps even see Team Rocket's Jessie & James make a return and end up siding with Liko, Roy and Ash teaming up against the villainous Explorers. Such a crossover would be the Alcremie icing on the cake, especially if it's an anniversary event or something, lol..!

The combination of young and mature main character cast is a excellent way to attract different age fans. I'm alright with it not having as much humor as Ash's era, but the tense story plot, Legendary pokemon, and mysterious tactical villains make up for it. 😱I was so surprised when Spinel dared to do something so evil and brainwashed a child with his Beheeyem.

I’m watching the show with my siblings, and they’re loving it! They like the action and the visuals and the funny moments, but they’re not too focused on the story.

I've been loving Horizons since the 1st episode and looking forward to more as time goes on 💖

I want to give an interesting perspective that I think Pokemon Horizons have yet to tick: They do not have a prominent ship yet, or there exists one, but nothing that has been developed much yet.

Outside of like 2 specific instances, I have really been enjoying this series so far! And both instance involve important stuff happening OFF SCREEN. 😅 Anyways, as you've mentioned before, this is kinda sorta like Skies of Arcadia or One Piece. We're only 23 episodes in but I am already gonna miss this crew. Molly basically defuncting from being a typical Nurse Joy due to the stress of working inside but also wanting to help the Pokémon that are NOT brought into Pokémon Centers. Murdock, the big chef dude who had a rough past with a fellow pastry d00d, worries about his niece Dot alot, and just an overall nice dude for his size. Curious as to how he and Dot joined TRVT Orla, a childhood friend of Friede, a mechanic who really does her damnest to make sure things are running smoothly when it comes to The Brave Asagi (which we learned SHE built along with her partner Metang [now a Metagross]). Oh and she LOVES getting new mechanical stuff as we learned from their visit to Galar's Motorstoke . Ludlow, the old and wise fisherman who lookin like a human Drampa, a long time mentor for Friede, and often speaks out keep advice and related metaphors whether others are around him or not. Still somewhat shrouded in mystery. Dot (online alias: Nidothing), a bit of a shutin (especially at the beginning) who is clearly very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to gathering information for RVT. She also is the one who created their specialized application for their Rotom Phones. As Nidothing, she is an influencer who provides useful information for all upcoming trainers! Dot is lowkey our "3rd Protagonist". Lol. Then of course Liko & Roy who we will continue to see grow as the series progresses even if things seem slow at first! The Explorers are an interesting bunch. Their boss Gibeon is still a complete mystery to all of us but we at least know of his secondary and admins: Hamber (the bulter and second-in-command), Amethio (the no nonsense straight to the point guy with Ceruledge) along with Zirc and Onia (yes, that's their dub names) Spinel (a very cunning and mischievous individual who thinks far ahead), Sango (the pink haired girl), Onyx (the big tough guy built like a rock), and Agate (the rather stern black lady). They want the pendant but why? Hmm. On a side note: I just wish the English Dub would get a damn release date so people who DON'T watch the Jap version of these episodes can watch them and join in on the conversation. Dub sounds great btw. I dunno if you saw the sneak peek. It's on Pokémon's YouTube channel.

I'm thoroughly enjoying Horizons. It's a refreshing take on the Pokémon anime and I really like the story and characters.

I’m really enjoying Pokémon Horizons, it’s getting me excited every single week. I appreciate them taking such a drastic change by getting rid of Ash and introducing a new way to tell the story. I love the diversity of the cast and I’m so excited to get to know more about everyone, I’m pretty sure we will find out interesting/shocking facts about some people’s past

Interestingly dot shares a hair style with carmine and Kieran in the dlc

Yes! It is even better than the last series with Ash in it, which I know isn't saying a lot, but trust me, it's good.

I think the start of this show was fantastic. I was keeping my expectation a bit low, since this was a brand new start and I didn't want to start it off feeling disappointed, but it has been great since the first episode. While the plot being different means we don't know what the future will hold, unlike most of the other series, it's very refreshing to find out more informations bit by bit and it leads to a lot more discussions about what will happen. The pacing is slower than usual and it's fantastic because of it. The kids learn at a steady and gradual way and every now and then we learn more about the adults too. It also helps that until now we literally had 0 filler and every episode starts where the last one ended and continues from there progressing the main story. The characters are all charming and the pokemon especially feel a lot more present and lively than in Journeys for example. You can always find them doing stuff in the background, even when the scene isn't focused on them and I just love it a lot. Compared to the past series there are a lot fewer battles, but honestly I don't have any problems with it. Since it's a brand new start, we can't just pretend to get huge battles every episode when our main characters still have what is the equivalent to lvl 10 pokemon. Overall I love this series do much! I can't wait to see what happens next!
