Liko's Mom is Lucca-Sensei (i think)

I thought the woman in the preview was this Lucca-Sensei, yeah, but then I saw everyone saying she must be Liko's mom? She does have a wedding ring on! It's not really something we see on a lot of pkmn characters afaik, unless they're like. clearly married (see kukui/burnet).

But like... what if she's both.

Think about it, why would Friede be calling some teacher? He doesn't answer to anyone as far as we know, esp not some random teacher? And not a professor, a teacher.

So who do we know that's a teacher? Liko's mom is a teacher! And we know Friede's been trying to call her and failing! What other teachers could we know of at this point in time? Sure, it could be someone we don't know at all yet, but like... why? Horizons has been so good with the forshadowing, so why set up something like this.

Lucca-Sensei and Liko's mom have gotta be the same person! And that's probably the woman in the preview!

But that's not my main point here. My main point is, if Lucca-Sensei is Liko's mom, what does that mean about the way the scene with Murdock/Orio/Friede plays out?

He says, staring at the calls Lucca-Sensei hasn't picked up.

Even though Liko's talked with her Dad, we still haven't followed up with her Mom yet. Because Horizons has stayed pretty focused on it's plot lines so far, if it starts a thread of something one episode, it'll continue in another. So we should still hear from Liko's mom specifically.

What kind of person is so worried for their kid she hires bodyguards to take em home, yet sends them overseas in the first place. What kind of person doesn't pick up calls from those same bodyguards for days?

What kind of person indeed... Ms Liko's mom, I'm looking forward to meeting you =))).

// Bonus

I wonder why ;)

Current mood: Screeching over the found family vibes that are blossoming in Pokémon Horizons (2023). I need fanfic of the Rising Volt Tacklers asap. With that in mind, I feel compelled to share ideas / thoughts / maybe a few headcanons also because I just really need to share them. qwq

SPOILER WARNING AHEAD (up to the end of episode 3)!

I can’t stop thinking about the part in episode 3 where Friede is about to battle Amethio and tells Liko to stand back so she won’t get caught in the crossfire. I know he’s giving her an opportunity to go find Sprigatito while he stalls for time, but I’m just saying -- I really appreciate that the episode mentioned this, since I feel like the actual danger of Pokémon battling to humans isn’t always talked about. On that note, though -- imagine if Liko / Friede / whoever else actually got caught in a battle’s crossfire, resulting in injury... Good thing Mollie and Chansey are on board.

As of the end of episode 3, Liko is attending classes remotely. The rest of the crew would probably know she’s taking remote classes. So, imagine this: There’s a big test coming up, or it’s finals week, etc. and Liko and Ann are video chatting and studying. Of course, she’s stressed out about it. By the end of the call, maybe there is some aspect of whatever subject she’s still struggling to understand. Her brain can’t take any more of this, so she leaves her room for a break / change of scenery / etc. Cue late-night de-stress session (probably with Murdock, he seems like he’d be good at this).

If you want a part 2 to this, maybe she takes that test and, despite the crew’s best efforts to help her study / give pointers and advice, she still fails. Cue hurt/comfort scenario.

Or she does well, and everyone celebrates. Yay fluff :)

The lights of the Paldean cities look so different from the airship as opposed to the ground. It’s magical.

When you’re at a really high altitude in the air, oftentimes it gets cold, right? I like to think that they keep a lot of blankets. (Fuecoco might be open to warm hugs, but don’t even try with Orla’s Slugma. Just don’t.)

More to come (mayyyybe if I think of anything else)???

Favourite anime that isn't Pokemon?

Also what do you think of Pokemon Horizons?

Answer 1:

If there's other animé that left me a great mark, I draw some inspiration for my works, and that I can also recommend it a watch (in Japanese especially) is Ojamajo Doremi!

youtube

It is adorable, sweet, fun, covers themes that will resonate with different sorts of people and has plots and subplots that make you cry out of emotion. The show has got a unique combination of the themes of magic and music for its worldbuilding and a lore that begins to get really deep and interesting once you reach the second season. Umakoshi's art style, one of my favourites from Japanese artists I was exposed to their works, was also what gave me courage back in late childhood to draw humans more often and it especially shines in the OVA series of Naisho and the movie that was released years ago (Majo Minarai o Sagashite). The OST also easily sticks in your ears like that personal favourite of mine that is "Ojamajo de BAN²" that I showcased in video. This show was quite popular a bit around the world when it was airing on Japanese and western TV screens so if you never watched, please consider it!✨

Answer 2:

So far it's interesting! There's definitely a common link between Liko and Roy's amulets that we will eventually figure out with the time, I'm curious about this! However, despite of enjoying the show so far it's never going to be the same magic and emotional investment as it was watching Ash Ketchum's saga. I miss him very much already (and Goh! I can't help but think about when when I hear Horizons' Pokédex entries!). But I'm still watching the show as I want to see how the new protags' stories develop!

"What's in a Costume?"

i wrote a pokemon horizons fic where dot is plural and how i feel that would pan out when she (reluctantly) invites liko to watch a recording session in an attempt to ease the awkward tension between them

i hope you enjoy

I tried looking for Pokemon Horizons fics on AO3 and found out the tags for Horizons were merged with the larger anipoke tag :( I sent a support ticket 'cause I'm wondering what the tag wranglers' explanation is for this.

Sure enough, they’ve been merged as i was afraid of. Thanks for sending in the support ticket! If they reply lemme know I wanna know also! Might send in a request of my own just to make it clear it’s not just one person feeling this.

I do however, think this is in error, according to Ao3's guidelines for tag wrangling! Or even if it's not in direct violation of a written guideline, it goes against the spirit of it.

And that's why I have written (not on purpose initally but I got really into it):

A Breakdown on Why "Pocket Monsters 2023 | Pokemon Horizons: The Series" Needs and Deserves It's Own Tag on Archive of Our Own

For anyone who reads or wants to read Horizons fic or just likes fic in general, and wants to know why this is a problem. It's a bit long but if you have the time, please read/skim it! thanks!

(Word Count: Aprox. 1.5k)

Here's Ao3's guidelines for differentiating between different versions of a series (example being sailor moon). Because the canons of Sailor Moon Live Action and Sailor Moon Anime/Manga are different, they get different tags!

What makes things difficult is the lack of a clear definition of what the Pokemon Anime Tag is meant to represent now.

And either way, we still need an adjustment, but what specifically is uncertain. Here's the thing!

Is Pokemon Horizons a separate Canon from Pokemon Anime?

It's hard to answer just "yes" or "no". It *is* a pokemon anime, and so it *is* canon to itself. But that also doesn't line up right. Poketoon, Hisuian Snow, and Twilight Wings are ALSO Pokemon anime, but they're not sorted into the whole pokemon anime tag. However, Horizons is part of the Mainline Pokemon Anime (i.e. what airs on tv tokyo weekly and is promoted by anipoke_pr twitter.).

What is Pokemon Anime?

Before Horizons, all of the Pokemon Anime had been grouped together into one story, and honestly that worked just fine! It was all one really long story of Ash's Journey over the course of several seasons. It even worked alright for tagging (except journeys) because you could use the corresponding game tag to denote what part of the anime you were talking about. For example, if I wrote a story about Dawn and Ash finding a Shaymin, that's Pokemon Anime tag AND Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Tag.

So the question is "is the AO3 tag "Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Anime)" supposed to denote the whole of the Pokemon Anime, or the Pokemon Anime Featuring Ash?"

Because before Horizons, there was a clear link of all the Pokemon Anime making it one show! It was all Ash's story, and it all flowed into itself. Some anime rating/watch sites (and i think parts of Wikipedia) list all of Ash's Journey as just "Pokemon the Anime" and all 1250+ episodes of it!

Horizons is Different. Horizons is a completely separate show!

Yes, it still has Pokemon in it, and it is still a Pokemon Anime running weekly on TV Tokyo and promoted by Anipoke_Pr. But all of us watching it and writing about it know it's a different show! The central characters and most importantly, the PLOT is different! You wouldn't put every season of star trek together into "Star Trek (TV Show)", right?

And I know some people will say "But Void! Can't you just do what you did before? Put Pokemon Anime tag and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet tag! It is Pokemon Anime: Scarlet and Violet, right?"

Well, no!

Horizons does not follow the exact plot of Scarlet and Violet games. They're similar (and the story isn't finished, so we don't know how similar), but there are differences! The Brave Asagi, The entire main cast of Volteccers, none of them exist in those games!

And saying that they have similar plots and thus are the same thing doesn't make sense either, according to prior sorting! Here's an example! This is the Pokemon (All Media) Subtag section! All of these tags are their OWN INDIVIDUAL THINGS that are ALSO recognized as being part of the wider pokemon!

See how the Pokemon Video Games, while being a Subtag, have their OWN subtags, for each version set that comes out. And BW has ITS OWN subtag, for BW2!

Sun and Moon also has a subtag for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, even though they share similar plots for like. most of the first half, they're recognized as being separate things!

You can also see how the Pokemon Anime doesn't have ANY subtags at all. And again, from Original Series up to Sun and Moon, i can understand why it probably wasn't necessary.

But then Journeys happened, and I remember it being pretty difficult to find just... Gen fic for Journeys. If I wanted Ash/Goh fic, there was their ship tag! But if I just wanted *any* Journey characters, there was nothing to sort by.

Now, as had been done before, I saw people tagging their fics as "Pokemon Anime" AND "Pokemon Sword and Shield", even if the story had nothing to do with Galar or the SWSH games, because this was the "Sword and Shield anime". So as mentioned prior, I know why a lot of people would think, from an outsider pov or insider, "why not just tag it as "Pokemon Anime" AND "Pokemon Scarlet and Violet"

Because of fics like these!

(I haven't read any of these, so I can't speak for much about their content. I'm going off summaries. Authors of these stories I in no way intend to misrepresent you and if you dislike being used as an example in this post please let me know and i will remove the example)

All these fics are (from reading the summaries) stories about Ash going to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, if the anime had continued to be about Ash and had gone onto the scarlet and violet games. Everyone here is using these tags Exactly right! This is exactly how it should be (so don't any of you dare go send hate to these people for literally using the tags exactly right.).

And see how NONE of these fics are about Pokemon Horizons? None of them are tagged as including Liko, Roy, Friede, any of the Horizons Central Cast. None of them (afaik) take place on the Brave Asagi! And that's good thats fine but what are Horizons fans supposed to do!

Horizons fans at the moment have No Way of finding stories about specifically Our Characters and Our Setting. We can't use the old method of Anime + relevant game, we don't have a separate tag, we're just sort of stuck.

So! What are we gonna do!

Firstly, I think there's like. a wider problem as mentioned earlier of "what is the pokemon anime tag supposed to be."

If it's a tag for the whole pokemon anime, then we need subtags! A subtag for Horizons, (and please Journeys). Though I'd love it if we retroactively got tags separating Pokemon Anime Sun and Moon from Pokemon Game Sun and Moon, there are over 9000 fics in the Pokemon Anime tag right now. Making the tag wranglers comb through all that sounds ridiculous. Ideally, I'd want to see at least Horizons get it's own subtag of Pokemon Anime.

If the tag is meant to be for the Pokemon Anime as it followed Ash's Journey, then that's still messy tag work I'm so sorry wranglers. But then we need some way to differentiate from allllllllll of Ash's story, and this NEW story.

And for the record? The company making Pokemon Anime (in japanese) is not making this easy for us. Naming two separate series the exact same thing back to back? (Pocket Monsters [from 2019, also known as journeys] and Pocket Monsters [from 2023, also known as Horizons], respectively) IDK if that's good for branding but it's certainly a nightmare for us. Enough of an issue I've seen some Japanese fans using the English titles to make it clear which series they're talking about. So I really don't blame the Ao3 wranglers for sorting things how they did. it's confusing and messy, and I really appreciate the hard work they do! I hope this long ramble doesn't come across to much like I'm shit talking the wranglers. It's because the system for tags and subtags works so well that I know that Horizons should (probably) be a subtag!

But because I like the way Ao3 filters and tags work, I want them to work right for this show I love so much. I want me and my friends to be able to share our works for Horizons and be able to find them! If my suggestions here don't work, that's fine! Just something that lets the Horizons fans find the Horizons stories.

In the meantime!

Because it will probably take a while to get things wrangled and also I don't know if Ao3 staff will agree with my post.

A) Keep on tagging your fics as Pokemon Horizons! WHen you post to ao3, you can tag anything you like, even if it all gets wrangled into a bigger tag. it also makes it easier for wranglers if we DO get a proper tag if you make it clear that your story about Molly and Orio baking cookies is a pokemon HORIZONS story, not just a pokemon Anime story. Even if it's not in the fandom tags, try and mention that your pokemon horizons works are HORIZONS works, because it means we can self sort!

While it's not ideal, there is still the wonderful "Search Within Results" function for when you're sorting by tag. Type in "Pokemon Horizons" (with the quotations around it) and anything that has that written in the tags, summary, or authors notes, will be filtered in, and anything that doesn't, is filtered out. So as long as the author has mentioned somewhere it's a Pokemon Horizons fic, the search will pull those fics. It's our best bet for now, if you want to browse Pokemon Horizons fic

and

B) Share fics here and everywhere else!

While we're trying to get our tag in motion, I still wanna say I love yall for reading my fics, and I love yall writing yours as we start off Pokemon Horizons. Even if we never get the tag thing solved, I want to see what you've made! So keep posting about your work, keep reblogging, make recommendations and spin off works and art (if the author is cool with it). If we don't have a tag, we do have each other. I know that sounds sappy but hey, it's pokemon. It's always a little cheesy.

Thank you for reading this absolute wall of text! I hope things work out and I'm hopeful they will! If anyone has any other thoughts on this tags situation or related, please leave them below! I'm nothing close to an expert on ao3 tag wrangling and i don't wanna misrepresent anything, so if any of the above is flat wrong, lemme know!

thank you!
