Pokémon Horizons gets a new opening theme, animation

We’re still waiting on the North American premiere for Pokémon Horizons, but the series is motoring along in Japan. As a matter of fact, the first arc of the new series has wrapped, and the next arc is about to kick off. With that comes a new intro animation and theme song, which you can check out above. The song is performed by Yama x Botchiboromaru and is titled “Hello”.

In “Pokémon Horizons: The Series,” dual protagonists Liko, whose partner Pokémon is Sprigatito, and Roy will encounter many characters during their journey, including a group led by Friede and Captain Pikachu called the Rising Volt Tacklers.

Traveling across the Pokémon world on an airship, the Rising Volt Tacklers include Orla, who enjoys mechanical and electrical work and is accompanied by her partner Pokémon, Metagross; Murdock, who is skilled at cooking, and his partner Pokémon, Rockruff; Mollie, who specializes in healing treatments, and her partner Pokémon, Chansey; and Ludlow. Liko and Roy will also come across Amethio, who is joined by his partner Pokémon, Ceruledge, and belongs to an organization called the Explorers, as well as a popular video streamer known as Nidothing.
