I feel like there was still a lot the show could’ve done with their characters & storylines, rather than wrapping them up in a rush so we could move onto the timeskip. I wonder what Horizons would look like now if that was the case!

I kinda miss when these three were the main focus of Pokémon Horizons 🥲

Imagine the peak of Misty bringing Horsea to Johto and evolving it up to a Kingdra 😭

Tbh Chronicles mostly just feels like an extension/spinoff of OS so I kinda consider them the same thing haha, but yeah you’re right!

Still can't believe Misty's Horsea never appeared again after the Original Series 💔

i’m sorry but these are hideous

raichu deserved so much better bruh

thinking about how i somehow came up with the utterly absurd idea to build a bond between THESE TWO back in 2020, and now it’s grown to be one of my favourite parts of my entire AU lol

this is so fire omg 🔥

i lovedddd that oshawott was in this episode too

glalie got sent into orbit 😭

i genuinely don’t think the anime has ever managed to hit me as hard as XY’s farewells did, ever since. it was just so much and so peak 😭

Will never have the words to describe how much they mean to me 💚

in hindsight it really bothers me that the whole of the battle frontier arc was set in kanto, and yet we saw almost zero returning characters from ash’s kanto journey… it would’ve been SUCH a perfect opportunity to bring back gym leaders, one-off filler characters, etc!

i lovedddd the sabrina or nessa debates at that time, i wish it couldve been one of them!

kanto gym leaders returning in pokemon journeys...

They’re so cute 😭

Liko’s team definitely has it when the writers occasionally remember that they have it… but unfortunately they seem to forget way too often 😭

And as for Roy, I loved Fuecoco & Wattrel’s bond in early Horizons but then it vanished entirely ever since 💔

Dot's Pokemon team genuinely feels like a family... they have such great chemistry, bonds, interactions... it's crazy to me that they're leagues above Liko & Roy's teams in that way!

so lucky & blessed to have such an incredible legal team on my side <3

that sounds like a perfect environment to me! 🤠 and yes hahaha it’s the most monstrous amalgamation of vulpix & rowlet of all time i love it

it’s a silent t

SO REAL

ikrrrr it was so peak. it's definitely up there for me too. it was dynamic, lively, it had great battle choreography and animation, and GENUINELY great strategies and ash moments... i remember being so hopeful for the battles to come in the future of JN after this one lol

my favourite anipoke episode ever!

surge & raichu's reaction to ash & pika being the very best like no one ever was would've been sooooo peak
