The new Pokémon series, Pokémon Horizons, is not only a great reboot but also a savior for the entire anime franchise. By introducing new protagonists and refreshing the storyline, it has revitalized the long-running series and brought new excitement to fans.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Every anime fan is aware that the Pokémon anime is one of the longest-running series in the history of the medium, with over 1,200 episodes featuring Ash Ketchum and his trusty Pikachu. A series just doesn't reach those kinds of numbers without being a success, but that many stories featuring the same character is bound to start repeating itself.
As the series continued, it became clear that more than just the art style needed to change, however. XY took a more Shonen-like approach, focusing a bit more heavily on battles and action. Sun & Moon mixed things up further with not only a radical shift in the art style, but also by having Ash stay in one location rather than travel about with a group of friends.
Still, keeping Ash and Pikachu was a bit too limiting, and finally, the time had come to say goodbye. As world champion, there was no where left for Ash's story to go. At last, the series could start over from scratch, giving it a chance to change some core elements of the series and update them for a more modern era.
While Ash never worried about money, and the very concept was rarely brought up outside of Team Rocket being broke, the Rising Volt Tacklers often need money for food reserves, ship maintenance, and other expenses. Suddenly, Pokémon has a new formula with new motivations, traveling the world in their ship and performing jobs for people along the way, offering new opportunities for storytelling.
