A comment from Hikaru Takahashi:
When I was initially appointed Pokémon Anime Debut Ambassador, I just wondered what on earth that meant (laughs). However, I'm actually completely obsessed with the Pokémon anime myself, so I'm really happy to have been given such a perfect assignment, and I really want to make the Pokémon anime community grow so that everyone can enjoy the new chapter Terastal Debut!
I'm currently in my twenties, so it's been a while since I watched the Pokémon anime as a child, but I still regain that same thrill from the show I had back then when I watch it nowadays! There is this certain excitement you can only get from this anime, no matter how old you are! I want to show off the Pokémon anime's appeal specifically so that I can share that with sensation as many Pokénds as possible!

Hello everyone. This is Hikaru Takahashi. I will presently be serving as Pokémon Anime Debut Ambassador. I want to tell you about the Pokémon anime's appeal in order to make a lot of people fall in love with it and make their "Pokémon anime debut"!
What do you think the appeal of the Pokémon anime is?
I think the way the characters support each other, do their best and try to figure out what they want to do is really cool and feel like it cheers me up. Everyone in the show are really strong characters, and I personally particularly like... well, of course I like Liko and of course I like Roy, I really like all the characters, but what I PARTICULARLY like is the relationship between Explorers Amethio and Hamber. Amethio really shows how much he desperately wants to get stronger, and, well... it's so wonderful to see everyone's honest feelings on display like that. Just watching such scenes makes me want to do MY best too! There are so many scenes like that in the show that make me want to support the characters. This aspect is the one I really love about the Pokémon anime.
By the way, have you checked out the key visual for the new chapter "Terastal Debut" that starts on April 12th yet?
Here is the key visual!
Both Roy and Dot are wearing uniforms too! The Elite Four from the Paldea region are there! And Nyarote...! Nyahoja has become a Nyarote! That's what REALLY shocked me! And Hogator is... still a Hogator! There are so many intriguing things here that caught my attention! And when I think about how Liko and Roy's world is going to massively expand like this, I want us to see that together and cheer them on together! I'm excited already!
With that said, the Pocket Monsters anime TV show airs on the TV Tokyo Network every Friday at 6:55pm! Let's all make our Pokémon anime debut together! This has been Pokémon Anime Debut Ambassador Hikaru Takahashi!
