New Pokemon anime series airs April 14th, 2023 in Japan, main characters profiled

We’ve known for awhile now that Ash’s journey in the Pokémon series was coming an end, and Pokémon Co. was cooking up a brand-new animated series as a successor. Now we have a premiere date for that series in Japan, and some fresh details as well.

Pokémon Co. has confirmed that the new Pokémon animated series is set to debut in Japan on April 14th, 2023. Unfortunately, we don’t know when the series will make its way to other parts of the world, but hopefully we’ll see dubbed versions make their way out before the year ends.

Along with that, we have some new details on the series itself. We’ve learned that it’ll focus on new trainers Liko and Roy, and it seems something special is going on with Liko. We know that Liko has a unique pendant that will play an important role, but specifics weren’t shared. We also learned that Liko is from Paldea.

More details will be shared in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for more insight!
