When will the Pokemon Horizons English dubbed version air?
The Pokemon CompanyWith Ash’s journey complete, Pokemon Horizons features two new protagonists, Liko and Roy. However, an English-dubbed version of the duo’s adventure is not available at this moment—but fans won’t have to wait too much longer.
Now that the Pokemon Ultimate Journeys has finally reached its conclusion in the West, fans are eagerly anticipating the debut of Pokemon Horizons’ English dub.
While Pokemon Horizons is currently on the air in Japan, it still has yet to make its way overseas in an official capacity.
Thanks to recent news from The Pokemon Company, English-speaking fans now know when and how they can watch Pokemon Horizons’ dub.
When to expect the Pokemon Horizons dubbed version
Pokemon confirmed that Pokemon Horizons’ English-language dub will premiere on Netflix on February 23, 2024.
The first episode of Pokemon Horizons aired in Japan on April 14, 2023. This means that the series will make its Western debut 10 months after its release in Japan.
Pokemon Master Journeys, the second edition of the Journeys series, was first released in Japan in December 2020, but an English version didn’t become available until September 2021—about a nine-month wait.
The third installment of Journeys, Pokemon Ultimate Journeys, first aired in Japan in December of 2021, while its English counterpart was released in October 2022.
Unfortunately, while Western fans now know the series will be released on Netflix beginning in February 2024, details are still scarce on how the streaming platform will release new episodes.
The streaming platform may release the episodes in a batch similar to the Pokemon Ultimate Journeys series, or they may release new episodes weekly. Official confirmation on the release schedule for Pokemon Horizons will likely arrive as the February 23, 2024 release date draws near.
Until then, Pokemon fans will either have to follow along with fan-subbed versions of Pokemon Horizons or simply watch the original version of the show.
