Wanted to share this tidbit from Dephender, usual translator for Anipoke news.

Liko's great grandmother is named Layla, which means night.

So the theme naming of the Lucius - Layla - Diana - Lucca lineage seems to be names related to moonlight in various ways?

I did have a feeling the name intend would be Layla. And them having moonlight related names is so cool.

Next week's ep is gonna be good.

[smilingperformer]

Holy shit the lore dumps in HZ074 are huge.

Everyone in RVT now knows about Gibeon, Lucius confirmed as the creator of Explorers, Rystal confirmed great-great-great grandma of Liko, thus same status of pa for Lucius. Could have one less or more great.

Next week we'll learn exactly what happened to Lucius, Rystal and Gibeon. Holy fuck.

[smilingperformer]

Whaaaaaat

They're actually releasing the Horizons card worldwide? I honestly thought it'd remain Japan-only, oh my gosh!

[smilingperformer]

I finally have an Emolga plushie, yaaaaayyy <3333

[smilingperformer]

Bye Sazareeee, HI DIANA!!!

Agshsjskks we learned a new name from Basagiri flashback, I still need to go check what the name was but possibly for the third person in the Lucius/Gibeon group.

EDIT: PREVIEW CONFIRMS THE THREE WERE THE ORIGINAL EXPLORERS, AAAAAHHHH

Man, I knew I would like Perrin the moment I saw her in SV DLC trailer.

And Horizons is not letting me down with their introduction of her at all.

I love her.

So much.

Aaaaah I'm sorry I didn't buy the DLC for you 😭

[smilingperformer]

Hm.

So, HZ071 is another nodge at Horizons taking place after SV. Briar confirms an existance of another Terapagos she herself saw before. I have not seen SV DLC content but I assume she means the one from the DLC, and that she got to meet that one and is writing notes based on DLC events.

Before it was more of an assumption that Horizons takes place after SV due to Penny's role in the Pokémon League, but now it feels like a full confirm. If so, I like this approach a lot!

Oh, forgot to remind, if you are watching like Anipoke in japanese TV from where DST (Daylight Savings) has ended, Anipoke now airs an hour earlier.

So in 15 mins, kthxbye

Reblogging my main for a bit because I don't think sideblogs can get boops lol. EDIT: I WAS WRONG-

Oooh boopmeter is back~

[smilingperformer]

Remember Liko & Roy banners couple weeks back? It seems they were waiting for Nakanuchan's evolution ep for Dot to get one!

I had a theory about Carmine's character. It's just a theory so don't take it seriously.

Carmine's character was introduced in episode 2 of arc 4 and she only interacted with Friede. I've seen a lot of people saying that this would be the only time we'll see her, personally I don't agree. Especially since she hasn't been animated in her BB outfit yet, and she wears it in her character sheet.

She appears on the poster so for me it makes no sense that she only appears for 5 minutes. Her character in the game is very interesting and could be easily added to Horizon, and possibly she will stop being against "outsiders". In the episode where she appears, she only interacts once with the RVT (in the end of the ep) and I think there is a reason.

(My point of view)➡️ I think her character will have nothing to do with them. I think it would be interesting if she interacted mostly or a good part with Amethio who will probably appear a lot in the arc too. Why? If Amethio ends up in Kitakami for some reason, if they meet somewhere there, she will probably start to come out with her famous lines and be against him because he is an "outsider".

Amethio is probably someone who has lost trust in people because of his grandfather and will probably have difficulty interacting healthily with someone. Already, he didn't think that Zir and Conia considered him their friend.

They will probably fight, him with his Ceruledge and her with her Sinistcha and they will use tera. and then, she will lose against him. (I think so especially since it would be the first time that Carmine tera. Sinistcha in the anime (since she didn't do it with Friede).

At this point, something will probably happen that will make them start interacting better and better and over time he could start to trust her and develop a healthy relationship with someone who is not an Explorers or an RVT. And she could start to not be against "outsiders" anymore. I also think that's why Kieran doesn't appear in Kitakami. Also Kieran has mini resemblances to Amethio (and both hit a wall lol)

As I said it's just a theory it's possible that they never interact but hey, who knows 🤷‍♀️

Also, I don't know if this is a hint, but they are also close in the arc 4 poster. They have 3 triangle shaped lower eyelashes, and are the two teenagers who have a rivalry with Friede. And they have a ghost type ace Pokemon. Funny coincidences, right?

[smilingperformer]

By the way. HZ069 was my first ever experience at umm. Carmine, is that her localisation name?

I have no idea what to make of her character lol. Overly competitive? I don't know what to make of her based on this ep alkjfsklf. Was she accurate to the games or not?

[smilingperformer]

Started thinking about the past scenes shown in the OP and ED.

Like, Dot's scene showcases the moment when Liko was missing and she was struggling to find the correct info to find her (as in Spinel was feeding wrong info), right? It's what my first thought is upon seeing this.

Roy's is right after Rayquaza left after the, would it be called first or second battle? The one where Terapagos' tera form first debuted. I don't know if Rayquaza's first debut in the series can be called a battle lol. But I remember this moment well.

And Liko's appears to be the moment after losing to Chili/Rika. It's a bit more dramatized as she didn't walk off sad (instead cried on the spot, confused on it, but felt happy about finally understanding the battles), but I do believe that is the intended reference here.

And then, in the ED.

This is from the very first episode. When Liko finally starts befriending Nyahoja during her time at Sekiei Academy in Kanto.

Roy's refers to the episode where Roy and Hogator first met at Roy's home Island in Kanto. Episode 4 right? First thing that comes to mind is where Roy compliments Hogator's singing.

And then Dot is when she finally became partners with Kuwassu for real during Liko's amnesia-and-missing episode where she finally makes the big push to overcome her struggles so she can find her first IRL friend. The official debut of their partnership. While before that they were, sorry for lack of better wording, mere accomplices. Not really partners. So I would say these three scenes represent the moments when each of them gained their first meaningful bonding. Not saying there was no bond before that moment between the two, I just think that moment was one of the most significant ones.

And then we have this scene:

Which kinda showcases the past and future selves of the RVT adults. Molly's I think is our first look at her past self. While the rest we have seen in their respective focus episodes. Kinda interesting that even thou we have had episodes with focus on Molly, we've never seen flashbacks related to her. We still don't know exactly what prompted her to join the crew. Nor do we know of Murdock or Landau's reasons for joining the crew, but we DO know their pasts in flashback forms. (By the way, I love that Landau is doing his own thing and not doing the Pikkaan dance lol.)

Is Molly's outfit reminding anyone of anything? Closest I can think of is Alola but I do not think it's exact. So it could be new.

[smilingperformer]

Wait.

How has someone who I've blocked managed to reblog my post.

What.

Wait does the blocking not apply to sideblogs D:

Uuuuugh that will annoy me esp. when people are discussing leaks on my post's reblogs?

Please do not do that. Do it in your own post. Thank you very much.
