There's no way that's ever happening so long as Netflix still has a deathgrip on its distribution stateside.

Netflix has shown it's not opposed to streaming the Japanese version of Pokemon with the CGI remake of the first movie being our first (and so far only) official subbed release. A simulcast might be out of the question, but they could release the Japanese version of Horizons alongside the dub.

You just gave me hope......... the entire original series + original movies, with official subs? I won't lose hope! Even Electric Soldier Porygon can be included, just replace the seizure effect with something better.

I can't see them ever releasing Electric Soldier Porygon, even if we do get official subs. I also imagine any subbing effort would start with Horizons and see how that does before even considering any backlog releases.

The news of Ash being replaced as the main character of the anime was announced on the anniversary of the Pokemon Shock Incident - they're still trying their hardest to erase the whole thing from memory.

I'd like to think they'd simulcast Horizons or even do the whole Netflix thing where they do it on a delay, but the English side of things have specifically just referred to Japan's release date, and in this recent trailer they replaced the Japanese theme song entirely so it's really hard to say.

(Incidentally, since it's an actual Netflix-produced show Pokemon Concierge is probably likely to come with the Japanese vocal track in the states, so that's something)

How is making a sequel/rebooting a show "erasing original from history"?? Did The Nutty Professor erased The Nutty Professor from history? The original show should have ended LONG ago, it went on for far too long.

Uh, you tell me? 'The whole thing' was referencing the Pokemon Shock incident and the Electric Soldier Porygon episode, which was kind of a huge ordeal that I'm sure everyone involve just wants to forget.

Okay, I misread that as "new show erases the original from history".

I will be skipping this anime.

I have no interest in another pokemon series with another pikachu as a main character.

Weak and spineless cowards having to rely on pikachu again.

What's the point of having a new series with the same exact characters over and over again?

They are contractually obligated to use Pikachu because if they don't, Yakuza and Japan Airlines will send assassins. I would like a Raichu myself, but I understand the ugly behind the scenes rules.

Well, I guess I can safely say that the end of Satoshi and Pikachu is my exit out of the PM series. The last game I played was Y. It was one and done. This happened with Silver remake before it. Once I beat it, I didn't touch it again. Y just confirmed that I was done with the games. Thank you Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth for filling the hole in my heart. For the anime, I stopped at like episode 18 of Best Wishes and never returned to that. It just wasn't hitting. I got back into the anime when XY was close to the Pokemon League due to word of mouth about how its amazing and they did not lie. It was the most hyped experience. I did not like the change with S&M. The only eps I watched when old characters returned and the "league". I only started watching PM 2019 when it was announced it was be the end of Satoshi and Pikachu. So this is where I'm officially done with PM as a whole. Peace.

Thank you for the good times Satoshi and Pikachu.
