The Pokemon anime has seen Ash and Pikachu take center stage for over two decades, with many believing that the eternal ten-year-old would always be the star of the show. It’s clear however that the Pokemon series hasn’t been afraid to shake things up and take a big chance with Liko and Roy, as the new trailer not just shows more of their Pokemon in action but also gives anime fans a better idea of their goals in the new season. From the trailer’s footage, it’s clear that the trainers will have some mysterious items that help them move forward in their journey.
