Today brings a look at even more new characters set to debut in Pokémon’s retooled anime series, including a group who seem set to be its new villains.
With Team Rocket seemingly written out of the series alongside Ash and Pikachu, the stage is set for another faction to bother the show’s already-introduced trio of heroes (and new mascot Captain Pikachu).
Step forward the “Explorers”, as they’re being referred to in Japan. Members of this group include Amejio, a mysterious figure whose partner Pokémon is Paldean creature Ceruledge. Is this person our new rival, akin to Gary Oak?
