Hii, is it ok if I ask you to draw Orla from Pokémon Horizons? She needs some love haha

I got carried away with experimenting on this one I think lol. Anyway, I hope you like it <3.

I think most people prefer bright and cheery Pokemon art, but lately my art turns out a little more moody in tone and atmosphere.

Also I don’t know anything about this character besides what I looked up on Wikipedia, but I really love her vibe honestly. It makes me want to watch the new anime.

I fell in love with drawing as a kid because I initially wanted to draw Pokémon. I guess that’s why I ended up working so hard on this one.

So thank you for your request!

[phopollo]

I dont particularly ship anything in Pokemon Horizons

However

I do think that everyone has a crush on Mollie, and she does not make it any easier

I just wanna say. I love that everyone commits to the Explorers' disguise names. Even Liko, who has no reason to, is like "ok you're annoying but I'm not gonna deadname you... Sandwich."

Pikachu won't be forgotten in this series as he goes by Captain Pikachu.

So, since Pokemon Horizons is good...

and this post says we'd like to see Liko and Roy feature in a movie (with the rest of the RVTs of course), what should happen in said movie? What should the plot be?

[littleflowerfaerie]

SHE JUST FALLS ASLEEP ON IT.

Also the fact that Metagross is not only chill with it but decides it wants to take a nap too is so adorable it HURTS.

The RVTs are super underrated, but more than any, this goofy li'l bitch

You can’t tell me they’re not GFs

Pokemon Horizons Episode 1 Review: The Era of Liko

Here it is! The third and final anime I’ll be reviewing episodically for this season! It’s the start of the Pokemon anime’s new era! How is it? I really liked it! The anime gives off a modern feel compared to Ash’s first episode, but it also has that Pokemon charm to it! For this review, I might just be pointing out the things I liked and disliked in this episode. Hopefully, the reviews will become more solid as more episodes air.

We are introduced to the first of the dual protagonists, Liko. Liko is much different from Ash in that she’s timid and reserved. She has a hard time expressing herself. She is from the Paldea region but moved to the Kanto region to study at Indigo Academy after hearing about it from her parents as it was their alma mater. I can sense that she will have a backstory similar to Penny’s in that she had a hard time fitting in and decided to go to another region to sort herself out.

I really like Liko a lot. I can relate to her as I am also reserved and an over thinker. What I like about Liko is that her thoughts are heard, compared to Ash who does not have his thoughts voiced out. I think it gives a different approach to a Pokemon protagonist and it also helps viewers understand what sort of person Liko will be. She’s also someone who relies on her Rotom phone. She uses it as a diary and as a way to take notes and such to analyze and observe as she did with Sprigatito’s napping spots.

Liko’s most notable aspect is having a mysterious pendant. Her grandmother gave it to her as a good luck charm and it’s sought out by the mysterious Amethio. I can’t wait to find out what that pendant is. I also really liked how Liko knew something was suspicious and decided to escape. It makes you wonder how Amethio knew about Liko having the pendant and how he knew about it being from her grandmother.

Liko’s partner Pokemon is Sprigatito. I find it interesting that the choices for starter Pokemon is randomized and it is not region-locked. Liko’s roommate Anne got an Oshawott because of the random picks! While Liko adores her Sprigatito from the start, it took a while to warm up to her. I do like how the bond between Liko and Sprigatito change slowly as time passes. Time passes in this episode because Liko’s school goes on a long holiday, implying that months had passed since her first day. While Ash’s Pikachu was flat out disobedient in the beginning, Sprigatito prefers sunbathing and relaxing over battles. My only gripe with Sprigatito is that it wasn’t as focused as much as Liko was. Hopefully that changes in the second episode. This is just the start of something amazing, after all.

The side characters are interesting. Anne is a cutie and I hope she’ll get some focus in future episodes. I love that she doesn’t think Liko is weird and just does her best to get along with her. She’s pretty much Liko’s only friend as of now.

Amethio is pretty manipulative. He got information about Liko’s family background and uses it to deceive her into giving her pendant, but Liko’s too smart to fall for it. I like how politely sinister he is. It shows how far he is willing to go to get something he wants but he still tries to be respectful. I can see Amethio as an interesting villain later on. His crew doesn’t have much focus in this episode, but they seem interesting with their designs.

Friede wasn’t shown as much as his crew, but the fact that they’re also looking for Liko is strange. I don’t think they’re looking for the pendant? Why are they looking for her exactly? I hope it gets answered.

The fictional Poketuber Nidothing is also interesting. Why is she wearing a Nidorina costume? Why does she have a Quaxly? I do wonder what she looks like underneath. However, I do like how Liko refers to her videos for advice on battling and other necessary advice.

The voice acting is superb. Voice actors from the previous anime make a return in this brand new series. For example, Goh’s VA Daiki Yamashita is now the Rotom Phone. Megumi Hayashibara who voice Jessie and various Pokemon returns to voice Sprigatito; fun fact: she voiced Litten in the SM anime, so I guess the staff wanted her to make cat noises again. Daisuke Namikawa returns as Quaxly (He was also the background character with the Eevee). Kei Shindou returns as Mollie; she voiced Lillie, Goh’s Raichu and Ash’s Riolu. Murdock's VA is Kenta Miyake, aka Giovanni. Yuka Terasaki returns as Roy, but he’s not in this episode. I think it’s cool how while it’s a new era of the anime, familiar names return to bring a new experience. I do think Minori Suzuki’s performance as Liko is really good. She is able to portray Liko’s shyness very well. I can’t wait to hear more from her. I think Shun Horie is also a standout as the voice he uses for Amethio isn’t what I’m normally used to from him. Taku Yashiro as Friede is good too! I just need to see more from the side characters in future episodes. Overall, all the voice acting is good.

The music was amazing to listen to. It brings about a different feel from the previous anime. I like all the soundtracks equally so far.

The animation was amazing. The way everything moved was fluid. I think my favorite animation portion was when Ceruledge appeared for the first time. It gives off the menacing, sinister feel as it opens its eyes and stands up. That’s how you make an entrance.

So far, I really like what I’m seeing so far. I have no particular dislikes. I just hope the anime keeps up the amazing quality. It has potential to be amazing. I can’t wait to see what this new era brings for the future of the franchise.

Murdock & Orio/Orla my beloveds, you are so big and strong,,,

The anime is a coward for not giving Orio/Orla muscles in her official design and animation, she clearly has them as a mechanic
