After starring in the Pokémon anime for 26 years without aging beyond ten, Ash Ketchum has finally passed the torch. Now Pokémon Horizons breaks tradition by allowing its new protagonists Liko and Roy to experience actual character growth.
A Groundbreaking Development
The upcoming Mega Voltage arc confirmed through CoroCoro magazine will feature a three-year time jump, visibly aging Liko and Roy with redesigned appearances. This marks the first substantial character aging in the anime's history.
Since these characters exist in Ash's universe, this implies Ash and his companions have also aged off-screen. Fans are speculating whether we might see an older Ash make an appearance.
New Features Coming
- The return of Mega Evolutions
- Liko's Floragato evolved into Meowscarada
- Roy obtained a shiny Mega Lucario
- Notably absent: Friede of the Rising Volt Tacklers
The mysterious disappearance of Captain Friede sparks theories - his Pikachu appears wearing cracked goggles, hinting at potential trouble.
Mega Voltage Arc Details
The arc premieres April 11th in Japan, though international fans will face delays due to dubbing schedules. This follows our 5/10 review of Season 2 for lacking commitment to its potential.
