Two previously-unseen characters set to appear in the new, upcoming series of the Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong> anime have been revealed today.<\/p>\n

The first is a brand new professor known as Professor Sakuragi. Serebii<\/a> reports that the new prof works at Sakuragi Laboratories in Vermilion City, a city from the original games’ region of Kanto. Ash and his new companion Go<\/a> will kickstart their adventure here before heading out on a journey which appears to span across every single Pok\u00e9mon region<\/a> introduced so far.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, this professor is not the same as the one set to appear in Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield<\/strong><\/a>, despite the anime usually featuring key characters from the games. Professor Magnolia<\/a> is the resident know-it-all in Sword and Shield’s Galar region.<\/p>\n

Alongside Professor Sakuragi, Koharu has also been revealed (as seen in the image at the top of this article). She is the 10-year-old daughter of Professor Sakuragi and is a childhood friend of Go. As you can see from the image, she’s accompanied by Yamper as her partner Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

This series of the anime is shaping up to be one the most intriguing in a long while; perhaps Ash’s recent Pok\u00e9mon League success<\/a> will finally see a huge shake-up for the show’s plot?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
