Pokemon Horizons English Dub release date

[Galar Adventurer]

Becoming Me's just okay, but I'll definitely take it over Journey to Your Heart or the scrapped S25 OP, Anywhere My Pokémon Go.

 

[DigitalGen6]

I listened to Becoming Me and it immediately became one of my favorite OPs.

…I have a thing for pop rock music.

Wondering when the UK will showcase the next batch of episodes. January, February, March?

So how is BBC expected to do releases? I know they have 6 episodes up already but when will the others air? Will it be a weekly thing, or something else?

So I just did the math.......by the time Horizons is officially released here in the U.S. (that is, on Netflix,) Japan will be on episode.......41. Yep, nothing like us Americans being more than 40 episodes behind Japan! Greaaaaat. Same shit as Journeys. Why, exactly, does TCPI continue to use Netflix as the distributor of the English dub of Pokemon?

I assume that it's because Netflix would provide better exposure to the anime compared to channels like Disney XD. While Disney XD treated SM pretty well, it is a premium cable channel and easily the most expendable Disney Channel. Despite all of their questionable to bad choices, Netflix is still one of the most popular streaming sites out there and more homes would have it than Disney XD. Other cable channels aimed at kids have largely moved away from third party content for years too.

Netflix is also probably pretty satisfied with how well the dub is performing for them. I assume that they wouldn't make their own original Pokemon series if the main series wasn't doing well enough for them at least. Being the home for a huge franchise like Pokemon would be a selling point for them, although I'm still surprised it hasn't led to them getting more older series or at least more of the Pokemon movies. Considering that the release date is specifically Pokemon Day, I assume that the decision to wait that long was at least partly, if not entirely, due to TPCI. Timing the release for a day celebrating the franchise is pretty deliberate, something that I don't think Netflix would necessarily be interested in.

Now this isn't to say that there isn't any issues with the Netflix release method or that it's the perfect home for the dub, but that I think it makes sense why TPCI would continue to work with them as the distributor of the dub. As bad as being nearly a year behind the Japanse version sounds, it's also hard to be that upset over it when I'm pretty sure that the gap has been longer in the past, or at least during the 4Kids era. Plus, 41 episodes isn't nearly as bad as being years behind like the Yu-Gi-Oh! dubs have been for ages.

(technically we'll be 29 episodes behind, since Netflix will release the first 12 episodes in one batch, but I agree with your overall point)

How do you know it's going to be 12, They'll dubbed up to episode 6 so far.

They've aired up to episode six, but considering that they had a sneak peek for episode one back in July, I'm pretty sure that they've dubbed quite a few episodes already. Plus, Netflix released about twelve episodes for Pokemon Journeys with each update, so it's pretty likely that they'll do the same with Horizons.

Which do you think is better though in the long-term? Batches of episodes, or one episode weekly?

I personally liked the weekly episode release journeys had, it was more consistent

Sounds like you guys in Canada had it better than us Americans in that regard.
