This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Pokémon Horizons has just revealed its next season, and though attention is placed on the new aged-up designs for Horizons protagonists Liko and Roy, the existence of a timeskip implies that the series might have also aged up Ash as well. Nothing is confirmed at this time, but if Ash has indeed aged, that would be a huge step forward for his character and would no doubt be a big deal for fans of the series who have been watching him for decades.
The poster for Horizons’ next season, titled Mega Voltage, showcases an apparently older Liko and Roy. While they were around 13 throughout Horizons, they are apparently going to be either 15 or 16 in the new season. An image spread in the Japanese magazine Corocoro confirms the time skip.
Liko and her friends have grown up and are now going on an adventure with their partner Pokemon. What on earth happened? Liko and the others are growing up! The main characters, Liko and Roy, have grown up and become older. A story of the future beings…?!
Given that Horizons appears to take place in the same Pokémon continuity as Ash, this suggests that, along with Liko and Roy, Ash will have aged too.
