Nemona in Horizons? Chef's kiss. Exactly how I imagined her sounding, and a really likeable character (classic Nemona).

So, I started watching the new Horizons anime, and I'm impressed! I think Liko is a very interesting and fresh main character, who is much more relatable than Ash ever was, and if you miss the protagonist with two brain cells, Roy is Ash with a reskin (but I prefer Roy personally). The character design is really nice (personal favorites being the main characters, the Explorers, and Friede), and I like how technology is now a huge part in the Pokemon World (Liko doing online school. Also I never saw Journeys (and I definitely should) so this is a little jarring but pleasing for me). I have been doing some theory crafting about the relationship between the pendant and the Pokeball, (something about the ball's roots being either Hisui, or the Great Crater of Area Zero) but I don't have anything solid yet. I finished episode 8 and, so far, I'd give it an 8/10. Really like the characters, new concept, and the Explorers so far, but it is a kids anime and if they use any Gen Alpha slang, I WILL throw hands.
