Pokémon Horizons General Discussion/Speculation Thread

[BigDocFan]

This week's ep explains why Sango uses Glaile: she peppers her speech with the prefix "oni-", which is the youkai Glaile is based on. If that's the case, maybe she'll use other oni Pokemon like Yanmega or even Ogerpon somehow.

Curious to see how the dub handles this, Gla prefix maybe lol

I'm hoping Sango will mega evolve her Glalie at some point

Kieran is not going to be a happy camper if she used Ogerpon. That's assuming the Sith Eyes Siblings show up.

Given Ogerpon's backstory, I doubt they'll have a villain use her unless said villain either undergoes a heel-face turn or Ogerpon outright rejects said villain and joins Liko or Roy's team, assuming she doesn't just join as a Rising Volt Tackler without a Trainer. The prospect of Ogerpon being the impetus for a heel-face turn for Sango, though, does have potential. And it could work well regardless of whether or not Amethio has his own heel-face turn by then.

Sango ain't usin ogerpon.
I feel like its less "Sango uses oni- so she uses oni themed pokemon" and more "Sango owns a glalie so she uses oni-"
Main Pokemon first, speech quirk second. Might be wrong though.

 

[Eitarou]

New opening next time.

 

[Twilight-Kun]

Nice of 'em to finally acknowledge the DLC at least

If that poster is any indication, it seems like Dot will be featured more prominently in the next arc and will likely (hopefully) have more action with Liko, Roy, and Friede in their upcoming adventures.

Even if that happens, I don't think Dot will be with them in every episode.

 

[Articfoxgamez]

I wonder if it was just this first Arc or if each one will be 25 episodes, its a nice even number so it would work. (Although would split Horizons up into like 6 of them minimum which does seem a bit much)

I'm wondering how the dub will that in. Maybe they'll combine both arcs into 1 season or separate them like the JP now.

I'm guessing they just ignore the arc-titles and do regular seasons like they typically do.

Most likely.

With the first arc over, what do you think Horizon's biggest strengths are so far?

Cohesive storyline without unnecessary filler episodes.

Cohesive storyline without unnecessary filler episodes.

It feels slow at times, but I agree. I do like that there is a cohesive storyline with less filler. We do kinda have a feeling of what's going on, with the main plot currently revolving around the quest to find Lucius' remaining Pokemon and the Explorers attempting to steal Terapagos. I wonder though...What happens when they find them?

Maybe taking them or finding Rakua - the Paradise. I think it's suggested that Lucius never found this place.

 

[Eitarou]

Pretty sure they said he did find it back when it was first brought up.

Edit: yet another new key visual.

Spoiler

 

[Articfoxgamez]

Yeah last episode basically said the goal now is to find the rest of Lucius's Pokemon and go to Rakua.
Curious if theres more after that or if that is just the end goal, probably not seeing Terapagos's Terastal form this arc if so, since they suggested it would happen when they found all of Lucius's pokemon and 3 arcs feels like it would end too soon.

 

[Eitarou]

October’s over, so it’s new calendar time.

Spoiler

Yay, no breaks this month.

 

[Poke Trey]

Good. Now we have to know what 29 and 30 consists of.
