Pokémon Horizons has finally forced its third hero out into the field, and the change is already promising a big difference from the old anime.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Pokémon Horizons anime has set up its third protagonist to finally take the spotlight, showing just how different this iteration of the Pokémon anime is from what came before.
Dot is a character whose existence aboard the airship only became apparent several episodes into the series, but as soon as she appeared in conjunction with Quaxly, fans became suspicious that this character had a bigger role to play. Aside from her association with the third of the Paldean starter Pokémon, Dot was also revealed to be about the same age as Liko and Roy, the series' main protagonists, but was nervous about interacting with other people and chose a life of self-isolation.
Dot Represents A Radical Departure from Ash's Anime Days In the anime under Ash, he was always the main character, with his companions getting less focus, less characterization, and less growth over the course of the series. This changed a bit as the show went on, with some companions such as Serena actually receiving a fair amount of focus. Still, it was impossible for anyone to be on Ash's level, because Ash himself was the only constant of the series.
With the fresh start that Pokémon Horizons offers, it's been much easier to elevate the three young protagonists to being on the same level. The show has also not been afraid to take its time setting things up; Roy didn't show up until episode 4, while Dot's existence wasn't made known until episode 8, although she had appeared in costume before without fans knowing.
The net result of these changes has been that the friendships seen in Horizons feel more authentic, as they've been given time to develop in a way that wasn't possible with Ash. The airship has also been key in establishing this new formula, as it allowed the characters to travel together before getting to know one another properly, ensuring that the relationship had a chance to build.
