On February 25, the final member of TV Tokyo's new Pokémon variety show, "Pokémon to doko iku?!" (Where do we go with Pokémon?!), or PokéDoko, was revealed. Popular actress, model, and variety entertainer, and new Pokémon fan Hikaru Takahashi (髙橋ひかる) will join the crew of PokéDoko as a "PokéRookie". PokéDoko will be airing on TV Tokyo every Sunday at 8:00am JST, starting April 3rd.

私はポケルーキーですが、世代も国籍も超えて愛されているポケモンの魅力をより伝えるために頑張っていきます！　私のようにこれからポケモンの楽しさを知って好きになっていく方に向けても、その楽しさがわかりやすく伝わるよう努力していきます！
I'm a PokéRookie, but I want to do my best to teach others about the appeal of Pokémon, which transcends nationalities and generations. For people like me who are only just starting to learn about the fun of Pokémon, and moving towards falling in love with Pokémon, I'll try hard to convey the fun in a way that's easy to understand.

Hikaru rounds out a cast of four including Ryogo Matsumaru (松丸亮吾) as the "Poké Leader", and Abareru-kun as the driver of the Dokoikkocar (Where-do-you-want-to-go car). New visuals for both of these cast members have also been released alongside today's announcement. Shōko Nakagawa (中川翔子), who previously hosted "Pokémon Sunday", "Pokémon Smash", and "Pokémon Get☆TV", and who is currently hosting "Meet Up at the Pokémon House?", will also be continuing as a host in the new show.
