About the episode:
The story that started a week ago meets a happy ending.
The action/pacing is very slow, it felt like not much happened in this episode 
Fights animation is cool and the music is my favourite aspect of this new anime, its creating the atmosphere of a movie.

It was so good I honestly love the new characters especially that female character on the bad team! And I cant wait to see how Roy will fit into this story but besides that, I was not expecting Liko's mom to have been the one to hire those people to bodyguard Liko, I was expecting maybe some professor or someone more important but then again we know nothing about her mom so she could be the president of the pokemon world for all i know! Still Liko's family seems to be really important and I am so excited to see what happens next!

I'm not sure if many people same opinion with me but This Series is the best Series of Pokemon.

Main Character surely has personality not just flat Character.
Logic also play in this series not like Ash which can go to Anywhere without thinking about Money.(How much they need Money for Pokemon foods and travel fee(Inn and PokeCenter))
Antagonist is much much better than Trio Team Rocket.

Pokemon is back with another great episode. Liko shows her genuine compassion and care at the start of the episode desperately longing for Sprigatito's return. It was nice seeing the continuation of Friede and Amethio's battle as both have already proven their strength and the animation has been top notch for every fight. Of course I was glad to see Skarmory again as I always will be for the best Pokemon. Liko has finally officially joined the Rising Volt Tacklers too so hopefully we will get lets of adventuring to come. I found it funny how Liko said she would join her classes remotely. Just another reminder of the era we are living in. It was interesting to see Roy briefly too, though I am sure next week we will get his full introduction. The ED definitely fits with the usual trend and is fun enough, but of course that OP is amazing in comparison. Did you know that Pikachu stores electricity in it's cheeks? O: Good to see that Friede only brings us the most useful and unknown Pokemon information.

this pikachu sure is a funny one

i loved the picture with Liko and Nyahoja at the end of the phone call, super cute

Roy seems like he will be a loud guy (please no zenitsu), but let's see lol

lastly, the female villain was also pretty cute when she had Nyahoja with her, almost feel bad for her losing it, she needs to catch one for herself some time

Mollie is one of the Joy sisters, right? The pink hair and the Chansey could have been a coincidence, but now that she sent Liko to the Pokémon Center in her stead... I can picture a Joy running from her responsabilities to seek adventure, and avoiding her sisters ever since. And I just realized the voice actress is the same as Joy in Journeys.

Sprigatito has got some real chill, just casually letting himself be pampered despite having been kidnapped. It would seem they managed to get out of that situation but too bad they have a tracker on them. They're turning out to be way more competent than I expected.

Shinsaku Pokemon Horizons - Episode 3



There are four crewmembers, and a state of the art airship that probably has high maintenance fees. I'm guessing Liko's family must be rich to be able to afford the Rising Volt Tacklers.

Where was that Metagross when their ship was being boarded by invaders in the last episode? That pseudo-legendary's strength and durability sure would have come in handy.




Did the airship shrink? It looked humongous in the first two episodes.






I thought that was a Drampa, but it seems to a person? A fifth crewmember? Was he sitting out there on the bow during the storm that almost blew Liko off the deck? How is he fishing while the airship is moving? Is he fly fishing over the surface of the water? That's got to be a really, really long line!

Amerthio says he isn't going to use Sprigatito as a bargaining chip. So... what? He was planning to give the cat back to Liko? I don't understand. When Friede offers to trade Liko's pendant to Amerthio for Sprigatito, Amerthio says it's useless without her. So Amerthio wants Liko and the Pendant? If he needed Liko, then why give Sprigatito back to her before he captured her? That would only give her a Pokemon that would further impede his attempts to capture her, as shown in the last episode and this one.

The Rising Volttacklers have at least a dozen Pokemon. They couldn't have assigned one or two of them to watch the area around the ship?

How did Amerthio and Friede go from being on the bottom floor of the warehouse to be on the roof? Did they decide to pause their battle and run up stairs and through locked doors to the roof and then resume? Or did they whip out their Corviknight and Charizard to fly up and then put them back into their Pokeballs offscreen?

How is the property damage to the warehouse going to be covered? By insurance? And once again, there is destruction going on and no police arrive to investigate.

They didn't even name the generic city they visited in this episode.




Now they address the issue of money.

Love the latest episode! Friede is cool as expected of a white haired character 😂

The new ED is great. I love the rapping of the Pokémon names.

WAHHHH I noticed that. I wonder what will happen if she run into them. 😌

It's a cool version of Joy-san

3 eps in and i only now realized the guy that cooks has a fork and knife? on his head....

also if the explorers are the new team rocket i gladly welcome them as team rocking was very annoying and got very annoying very early on in the series but who knows its still very early so who know if the same will happen with the explorers

the new pikachu i actually like him a lot pretty cool and always strong i like it

lastly even with just the little bit we just saw of Roy this ep he's basically the new satoshi lol

but yeah anyway am looking forward to see what this new pokemon series has going as time goes on i'll be watching for the long run

i liked how it set up the story for lots of adventures with the volteccers across lots of regions and places. however i also hope that we can see liko return to school in some episodes to see slice of life kind of pokemon episodes lol. also i dont want her roommate to get left behind and forgot about

Friede definitively does not want to have expository dialogue in his presence. I really like this episode, the characters from the Volt tacklers are pretty interesting. The lady from the explorer group was very funny. Liko received simple but solid character growth from those 3 first episodes and I really like her. I hope I will also be satisfied with Roy when he will be introduced in the next episode. I'm actually expecting him to be the "poketuber" that we have seen multiple times so far but the voice is maybe a bit too high pitched. Also that ed, Roy spittin' fire

Wow, Amethio is a fucking chump, just letting Liko sneak off to find Nyahoja.

Still no word on having even the slightest idea what the fuck's going on. I am not excited to continue with this show, and wouldn't be doing so at all, were it not for the fact that I like Liko as a character.

This is also the first episode to feature the OP and ED, and I am not a fan of either.

see the reason why I don't like it is because their is no ash at first I feel like okay lets see the new series but without ash its like a dish without salt I mean come on ash was with us for 25 years and all of a sudden goodbye without proper ending we want ash back no matter what,I don't feel like I am watching pokemon without ash and also in the series he clearly says that even though he win the world cordination tournament it doesn't make him a pokemon master but one step closer.Please do something the pokemon director and all the artist,producer you can't switch a nike brand to gucci out of sudden

We did have a proper ending to Ash.

25 years is a long time, we were in need of a change. I think it's time for you to move on.

No artificial attempts to rationalize this, just say that you like this series more because of the female protagonist. I don't understand why so many people are so salty to admit it, even if it's literally written all over their foreheads.

People insisting that Ash should be the eternal protagonist of the franchise even after several decades is even weirder in my opinion than people who call it the genius and best Pokémon show just because it has a female protagonist.

I don't see a problem with some protagonist you like more and some less. Just no fanaticism.
