The Pokémon Company has announced a brand new anime premiering globally in 2022 called Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series. Select markets will start seeing the new series as early as Spring, with premieres occurring in additional regions through to the end of 2022 and beyond.
Here's a synopsis of the new series from The Pokémon Company:
"The stakes are higher than ever for Ash, Goh and Chloe as they advance toward their goals! As the Pokémon World Coronation Series tournament heats up, intensive training is in store for Ash, Pikachu and their Pokémon friends. Meanwhile, Goh embarks on a series of challenging trial missions to become a member of Project Mew. And as Chloe and Eevee learn about the different evolutionary paths that Eevee can take, will they be able to come to a decision about its future? Get ready for nonstop action, familiar faces from journeys past and more Pokémon discoveries to be made!"
Sounds exciting! But judging from the clip at 0:21 in the trailer, it also looks a little bit terrifying. Anyway, here are a few snapshots from the trailer itself to get you pumped up, like no one ever was:

Too bad we won't see Cassidy and Butch again... They are GOOD NOW!!!
So we are 100% getting a new eveelution in Scarlet/Violet, right?
Pokémon is the type of show that I hear so much good things about from fans, but apart from the first seasons with Ash, Misty and Brock I find myself very bored with the plot lines. I've likely outgrown the demographic for a long time, but it's always a shame to not be able to enjoy something I hear so much about.
Retire Ash already.
Pokémon is the worst anime series ever made.
@Abeedo Well that's quite natural given that it has the same demographic as Peppa Pig. Its demographic is 'kodomo', literally 'child', which is specifically primary school aka elementary school. It's okay to put on in the background while you play one of the games, though.
@HenHiro Hardly. It's not even on the lower end of the spectrum, it's only mid-range. There's so much trash coming out of the anime industry nowadays that you really don't have to dig deep before the show starts looking like a masterpiece.
@Matroska I mean so is Doraemon, but that stuff is still really entertaining for adults too. I guess I was expecting something that was suitable for all ages rather than just children, especially considering that the premise of Pokémon itself is very awesome. I guess I'll have to keep on looking.
For me, it is the most boring Pokémon anime for far.
I've been meaning to catch up for a while, but I'm only a few episodes into the first season of the first Journeys
@Abeedo Oh, yeah. If someone thinks Pokemon is bad, wait until they discover the plethora of plotless tsundere loli harem isekai hentai out there. Maybe piracy drove it to such measures, but the anime and manga industry isn't exactly in a golden age right now.
i have really gotta start watching the anime again, with journeys being a soft-reboot i may as well give it a go
They have really started going crazy with Journeys, wondering if Scarlet and Violet will still get the obligatory anime adaptation. Though judging by SwSh in Journeys, it'll be an arc.
Isn’t this literally the 2021 season that has already aired in japan? Wouldn’t call it “brand new” if it’s just a dub.
This isn't a "new anime". It's just the dubbed version of the ongoing 2019 Pokemon Journeys. Misleading title.
is this also on netflix?
@Mando44646 sadly yes, according to the Pokemon fan site Serebii. A few other interesting episodes for the series won't spoil it this time. 😜
Really looking forward to see the ending of this season!
@DrewBA77 They might not discover that, I watch anime and I can't name one harem isekai hentai mainly focusing on tsundere lolis Also, ploteless hentai anime is not uncommon since the main focus of hentai is 'you know what'.
@Dragwhite
Journey’s is NOT a soft-reboot or reboot at all, far from it. It has so much continuity connecting it to all the past seasons I really don’t know how anyone can make that claim
@HenHiro Nice dose of morning hyperbole.
I don't see anything remotely terrifying in this trailer.
@DrewBA77 "plotless hentai"
Uh... as opposed to the riveting storytelling of live-action porn?
@Xellen strange, always thought it was, i stopped watching back with diamond and pearl so i'll give it a shot regardless
@Verg @Tobiaku I'm talking about stuff that's actually released on sites like Crunchyroll. A lot of female characters just come off as generic fantasies (like deliberately proportioned submissive types or hugely domineering types), and story development will often just completely stop just to show us certain... events. That, or a distracting hot springs episode that probably takes up several chapters in the manga. The MC is often just a generic nice guy or blank slate.
Yes, anime as an art form does exist, but these days, you REALLY have to filter out a lot of - let's be real here - softcore hentai to find it. It's not a good showing for the industry.
@Abeedo there is no other anime where 80% of the episodes are mindless fillers.
@HenHiro Well there is anime that 100 percent of the episodes are not just mindless fillers, but absolute trash. They've just not been going on for as long as the Pokémon anime, or have the coverage it has.
@Abeedo I have not seen them. Even the worst 12 episode anime I've seen is still loads better than Pokémon.
@HenHiro What was it
Team Rocket apparently is still popular in Japan, but it was one of their filler episodes that made me fall off the anime wagon for this latest show. Now I'm hearing about all these great story arcs, so I have to jump back in at some point soon!
@Abeedo
The Series is pretty dumb, but it is perfectly fine if your Brain is wasted from Work or other stressfull Situations and you just want to turn it off and look something that you do not have to care about.
You can jump in at any Episode, can turn it off any Time, it just doesn't matter as there is no real Progress in the Series and the Progress that happens, you can make the Lines between the missing Points very easy.
