Exciting news for Pokémon anime fans as "Pokémon Horizons: The Series" is set to make its United States debut exclusively on Netflix come February 23, 2024. This follows its initial English-language UK release planned for December 2023. The adventure continues as the series introduces a new era in the Pokémon universe post-Ash Ketchum, spotlighting the Scarlet and Violet-inspired Paldea Region.

The narrative begins with Liko, a fledgling Pokémon trainer at Indigo Academy, and her first Pokémon partner, Sprigatito. She quickly becomes the target of a shadowy group intent on seizing her pendant necklace. Fortunately, a new hero emerges alongside the iconic Captain Pikachu and the Rising Volt Tacklers to defend her.

Simultaneously, we meet Roy, a boy with dreams of becoming a Pokémon Trainer, who is unaware of the secret hidden within the Ancient Poké Ball he possesses. As the characters converge, surging toward uncharted territories aboard an airship, new discoveries lie in wait.

Fan attachment is already strong for the series' Japanese opening theme, though it remains to be seen if the western release will retain any similarity. With Captain Pikachu at the forefront and the excitement of new discoveries, "Pokémon Horizons" is gearing up to be a fresh and enthralling addition to the Pokémon legacy.
