Pokémon Horizons

Pokémon Horizonsis kick off a Modern era for the anime by precede a timeskip for its new serial publication , Mega Voltage , something that ’s never been done before . The timeskip has some challenging consequence for the story , but even wilder one for the Pokémon world in general .

The new Pokémon gum anime series was disclose in Coro Coro Magazine in Japan ( as share by X ( formerly Twitter ) user @Centroleaks ) , showcasing the new , get on - up designs for Liko , Roy , and Dot , the three heroes ofPokémon Horizons . The magazine provided a closer look at some of the new designs inside , and relayed some selective information about the novel series , which will ostensibly involveRoy seize a Shiny Lucario and obtaining a Mega Ring . The Mega Ring can clearly be seen on Roy ’s wrist as part of his new fibre design , and the characters appear to be 2–3 years older than they were duringHorizons .

Pokémon’s New Timeskip is the First Major Passage of Time

The Timeskip Represents a Big Leap Forward for the Anime’s Pokémon World

What ’s most interesting is how , despite the anime having run for over 25 years , this is the first representative of a timeskip within the serial publication . During the Ash Ketchum era of the anime , fourth dimension never seemed to flow at all ; Ash was everlastingly 10 years quondam , despite there being more sequence than there are days in a twelvemonth . event would sometimes happen in the desktop suggest the passing of sentence , such as the closing of a railing arrangement that was say to take a year to build , but Ash and his friends never aged a day . The fact thatHorizonsis embracing the handing over of time and allowing its protagonists to years is a major shift .

However , the musical passage of time has implications for more than just Liko , Roy , and Dot . It means other character in the universe of discourse will have age as well , from Gym Leaders to rivals to , potentially , Ash Ketchum himself . There have been strong hints thatHorizonsis set in the same worldly concern as the previous Zanzibar copal , suchas the inclusion body of Nurse Joy in the series , so if Ash ever were to make a return , he ’d logically have to be a few geezerhood Old in his next appearance as well . This could also mean some of the other changes seen in the game , like new Gym Leaders such as Janine in Kanto , could also ultimately seem as well .

Will Fans Finally See An Older Ash Ketchum?

Letting Ash Age Has Been a Fan Request for Years

It is , of course of instruction , not clean-cut when ( or if ) Ash Ketchum will appear in the new series , but if he does , long - time fans may eventually get to see Ash age , the way they ’ve always wanted him to . It would be interesting to see how an older Ash has vary during his time off - silver screen , and many sports fan are eager for Ash to come back , even though he ’s only been gone for about two class . The young gum anime seems connect to Kalos , an area which Ash Ketchum is deeply tied to as well , so if ever there was an opportunity , this is it . Pokémon Horizonshas definitely made a radical shift , so hopefully buff will get what they ’ve waited for .
