View attachment 177661Defying recent media speculation that the series may have been delayed until 2024, The Pokémon Company International has announced that Pokémon Horizons: The Series will make its English language debut in the UK this December on BBC iPlayer and CBBC. Listings on the BBC website suggest the first episode will go up on December 1st, as part of an initial batch of 6 episodes.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series features dual protagonists Liko and Roy, who join together with a group of adventurers known as the Rising Volt Tacklers and set out to travel the Pokémon world with them, visiting all the regions introduced in the core series from Kanto to Paldea. Liko also finds herself targeted by the mysterious Explorers organization, which is after her equally mysterious pendant. For the first time in Pokémon anime history, Pokémon Horizons: The Series features an all-new cast of characters and a more linear plot without many ties to previous anime series.
