Pokémon fans go wild as new episodes come free to UK fans – watch as soon as they are released

A NEW announcement has made Pokémon fans very excited, as new episodes of the anime come for free.

Available only to those who live in the UK, people can watch new episodes of the anime as soon as they launch.

Starting in December, the new series of the TV show, Pokémon Horizons, will come exclusively to the BBC.

Coming to both CBBC and BBC iPlayer, Pokémon fans will be able to watch the new series before the US.

Most importantly, all of the episodes are included as part of your TV licence.

Following the retirement of Ash Ketchum as the series protagonist, Horizons will follow new dual protagonists, Liko and Roy.

This is the first time that Pokémon has ever changed protagonist, as Ash has carried the series for the last 25 years.

A statement from The Pokémon Company reads:  “This is a truly special moment for the Pokémon animated series as we introduce fans to our brand-new protagonists Liko and Roy on their adventures across the world of Pokémon. 

“We know our UK-based fans have been clamouring for the series’ release since it was first revealed, and we are delighted to finally share all the official release information. 

“I have no doubt that ‘Pokémon Horizons: The Series’ has been worth the wait, so we hope fans old and new will tune in and experience a Pokémon adventure like no other next month!”

The BBC also shared a statement saying, “We know families love the world of Pokémon, 

“We can’t wait to bring this all-new Pokémon animated adventure to the home of children’s programming in the UK and just in time for the festive season!”

There is no exact release date for the series launch, though it will come out sometime in December.
