Episode numbering.
Question, now that we have confirmation that this is a "completely new" series, will the general anime numbering be the same or will it restart? Is this going to be episode 1,233 or are we going to put it down as episode number 1 overall?
Personally I think it should be separated with a new number, since that's another story, but anyway...--Hikaru Wazana (talk) 14:19, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'd say reset the number. I personally cannot agree with calling Pokémon Horizons the "eighth series of the Pokémon anime", since as you mentioned, pre-release material confirmed Horizons to be a completely new series. Inkster (talk) 04:02, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- I don't even know if the best way would be to put this episode after JN147, since Horizons is not a sequel, and there is still doubt if the series still takes place in the same universe as Ash's saga.--Hikaru Wazana (talk) 15:52, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- Let's wait and see. We don't have enough information on that as of now. As for the number after Journeys, that is to reflect the episode following Journeys finale, not that it's the literal sequel of the story itself. Adil — Talk page 15:58, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- So far, the Japanese side has been considering it to be another new series of the Pocket Monsters TV anime: TV Tokyo, Pokemon.co.jp, Twitter, YouTube --Abcboy (talk) 19:45, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

UK Air Dates
The first 6 episodes have aired in the UK on CBBC over this past week (with Episodes 1 & 2 aired on the same day back to back as they're the same episode in 2 parts) and were all available on BBC iPlayer from Friday 1st December.
As I've never edited here before I didn't want to just go in and make an edit without asking first. Does Bulbapedia include air dates in other countries besides the US and Japan, even when it's the same English translation?

- They are already listed as airing in the UK on December 1st which is when they were made available to watch in the UK so I see no need to change it to those dates.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 18:35, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oh, I see - I only looked in the sidebar and the series list page. Hadn't noticed they were elsewhere on the page.- unsigned comment from Itskdog (talk • contribs)

- Strange, sI was sure I did that. Must have not gone through somehow. Itskdog (talk) 19:48, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Errors - Amethio's hair
Those triangle shapes are the highlights on his hair, they just gave them a triangle shape to go with the rest of his design (notice that his pupils/highlight of his eyes are also triangle-shaped). Removing them when the scene is too dark or too bright shouldn't be considered an animation error. Guille Skye (talk) 18:17, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Charizard Trivia
Checking the trivia, it is said that this is the first time Charizard is dubbed, correct me if I am wrong but wasn't there an episode in the original series where this happened?--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 23:43, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
I'm not sure Liko wearing the pendant has anything to do with her age
In the plot section, it says she feels she's "not old enough" to wear it. However, the Japanese line is "私にはまだ早いかなって", which literally translates to something like 'Maybe it's a bit soon for me.'
I feel like "not old enough" is a bit too specific, especially since some official dubs just say she's "not ready." Could we make it more vague and say "she feels she’s not ready to wear it yet" instead? Rose Tinks (talk) 06:05, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
- I agree, the English dub says "I don't think I'm quite ready for that" without specifically mentioning age, so there is room for interpretations other than her being old enough. Should be fine to reword it as you've suggested. Thespeon (talk) 21:02, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- Got it, thank you! Rose Tinks (talk) 18:49, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
