Anipoke Production Secrets [Part 1]
The "Winter Special Episodes" to be aired on 12/3 (Fri.) and 12/10 (Fri.) will feature characters who live in a different world!
So here are some comments from Shuhei Yasuda, the character designer
The Rocket Gang are "crisp and cool," but
Sonansu's expression is the same as usual... is it?

そこでキャラクターデザイン・ 安田周平 さんからのコメントをご紹介
“キリッとかっこいい”ロケット団だけど
ソーナンス の表情はいつもと同じ…かな

When it comes to the character from another world, they look nearly identical to the ones we know and love but their personalities are all different and so conveying that through things like the way they move was a real challenge. Be sure to keep an eye out for the "crisp and cool" Rocket Gang who's different from the "heartwarming dopes" we've seen before.

It's almost time for Anipoke! Two episodes in a row! Anipoke Winter Special is like a theaterical version! A great adventure that transcends time and space!

The anime "Pocket Monsters" will start airing soon! It airs every Friday at 6:55 p.m. and it is very popular! In this article, we'll introduce you to the Pokémon and characters that will appear in today's episode, as well as comments from the voice actors and director, and other Anipoke information you won't find anywhere else! Today's episode of Anipoke part of 2 consecutive special episodes!

Hikari's partner, Pochama, has been kidnapped! The winter special starts with a shocking incident! Satoshi and his friends listen to a phone call from Hikari about the situation. At the Sakura Research Institute, they receive a report that there have been a series of incidents of Pokémon disappearing in the Sinnoh region, just like Hikari's. Satoshi, Go, and Koharu immediately head to the Sinnoh region to investigate!

pic

▲ According to Hikari, Pochama disappeared into a mysterious hole of light with a mysterious person.

pic

▲ And the person who took Pochama was said to look just like Hikari herself...!!?

Satoshi and his friends cheer up the depressed Hikari. Then, the Rocket Gang appear! As promised, Satoshi and the others fight off the Rocket Gang as usual with a "bad feeling"... but the Rocket Gang soon appear again from a hole of light!

pic

▲ Huh? Didn't you guys just blast off? And what's with that outfit?

pic

▲ What's more, this Rocket Gang...they're stronger than usual!!

The Rocket Gang takes Satoshi's Lucario and Go's Inteleon in a coordinated move that is different from their usual goofy strategy.

Go and Hikari follow them and jump into the hole of light! They find themselves in a world where there are no Pokémon!

pic

▲ A world that looks the same as the normal world, but something is different. What is this place?

pic

Satoshi and Koharu follow Go and Hikari through a hole of light!?

Is the other Hikari, the one who took Pochama, also here? Does that mean that this world is another world with another Hikari?

It's a world where time and space seem to have gone awry... Hmm? The Sinnoh region... Time and space...? What if...?

pic

▲ It's a clash between Dialga and Palkia! What is the meaning of this fierce battle...?

And from here, a series of unpredictable developments! The Pokémon Winter Special will air two weeks in a row starting today! 

Even if you have other things to do, somehow you can twist time and space to watch Anipoke today!
