The official Japanese Anime PR Twitter account posted comments on May 24th, 2024 from Kimiko Saito who plays Lime.

The next episode of the Pokémon anime, episode 52, airs Friday, May 31st, 2024. Surprisingly, Ghost-type Gym Leader Lime appears! She is voiced by Kimiko Saito.

A comment from Kimiko Saito, the voice of Lime:
My name is Kimiko Saito, and this time I will be playing "Lime". I've always been a big fan of Pokémon, and my house is full of Pokémon merch... but this is actually my first time playing a Pokémon role!! As you probably understand, I'm vibing pretty good right now. Lime-san is a really heartful and soulful character, she kind of reminds me of myself (laughs).
When you think of Lime, you think of rapping, the obvious question is how that's going to translate to the anime. But don't worry, I'll be bringing you her passionate enthusiasm in the form of hot beats. I really hope you'll enjoy the episode.

The official Japanese Anime PR Twitter account posted an Anipoke Spotlight on May 30th, 2024.

Pokémon Anime Spotlight:
Roy got Kaiden in episode 14. I wasn't very good at flying at first, but it managed to get the hang of it after training with Roy and Hogator. However, despite working well together with in while battling, Kaiden often bickers with Hogator... and it seems like they once again start fighting over something trivial in episode 52.

Roy's Kaiden is unable to fly properly in strong wind, so in the middle of the night, while everyone's fast asleep, it secretly sneaks out of the tent to practice flying by itself. Roy and Hogator cheer it on, but Kaiden still looks unhappy...

CoroCoro Comic's Official website posted an article about this episode just before the original airing on May 31st, 2024.


Anipoke is just around the corner! Kaiden's secret nighttime training! And who is this person who appears before Roy......!?


Broadcasting every week from 6:55 pm! The anime "Pocket Monsters" will start airing soon! 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 information you won't find anywhere else!

Continuing from last week, Liko, Roy, and Dot are camping and observing wild Pokémon in order to write their report. However, they seem to be having a hard time......!? Meanwhile, Roy comes across a Capsaiji.


▲ Last time, Liko finally found the "Flower Pillar" but forgot to take a picture. Will she be okay today......?


▲ Roy found the habanero Pokémon, Capsaiji, sunbathing!


Roy and the other Pokémon search for berries to give to Capsaiji, but Kaiden still seems to have difficulty flying. When a strong wind blows, it can't control itself and gives up flying. Kaiden is frustrated with itself and ends up fighting with Hogator......


▲ Kaiden was not good at flying high when it met Roy, so it continues to train hard. Maybe it still doesn't have confidence!?

When Roy wakes up that night, Kaiden is gone! He leaves the tent and looks around, only to find Kaiden training to fly by itself!

However, things don't go as smoothly as he had hoped, and Kaiden becomes depressed. While Roy and Hogator are trying to cheer it up, a terrifying growl is heard from deep in the forest......!!? What is that shadow that is creeping up on them......!!?


▲ Roy and Hogator are cheering for Kaiden by singing their favorite song. Do your best, Kaiden!


▲ A mysterious soulful person full of vibes appears before Roy...... Who is it YO!!

Also... There's an unexpected turn of events for Roy?! Today's AniPoke is full of surprises, and will start airing at 6:55pm!!
