Press play to watch the video below.
The new animated series premieres in Japan on April 14 with an hour long special.
I’m kinda looking forward to this show to see a new take without Ash. However, as some commenters have already noted, all three characters seem to embody “parts” of Ash already. Liko loves Pokémon for the sake of, Roy loves battling and Fried has an undying taste for adventure.
These are traits “Pokémon players” embody actually, and is a consistent theme throughout the anime and the games.
