Who Are Liko And Roy In The New Pokemon Anime Series?
The Pokemon anime has been running for many years, with Ash as the main character. It has been on television since 1997, and it is now time for two new characters to take over.
Pokemon Ultimate Journeys: The Series, which will be released in 2023, introduces two new protagonists. Liko and Roy are the newest dual protagonists to join the Pokemon anime, taking over for Ash after a 25-year absence. They will begin their journey in Paldea, where they will encounter the new Pokemon starters as well as others such as Fidough and Lechonk.
In addition, the company announced that it will produce a collection of 11 special episodes to conclude the Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series anime, which will commemorate Ash’s adventures over the course of 25 seasons. The episodes will feature fan favorites like Misty and Brock, and will “provide a glimpse into what the future holds… in this final chapter for Ash and Pikachu,” according to the company.
While there isn’t much information on these two new kids on the block right now, we will make sure to update this as soon as any information becomes available so you can be prepared for the new Pokemon anime!
