The Pokemon Company recently announced that it would dub the 23rd season ofPokemonin English, release it internationally asPokemon Journeys, and work withNetflix to stream it to US audiences. Of course, other countries will have their hands on the English dub, too, and thus have released their own news about it since the original announcement broke.
In particular, the United Kingdom television network, POP, will host a sneak peek of the English dub ofPokemon Journeyson August 12, 2025, after which it will start airing the series proper on June 02, 2025. But the sneak peek itself will consist of the season’s first four episodes, and as such, the English titles of these episodes have released.
E03: Ivysur’s Mysterious Tower!
E04: Settling the Scorbunny!
These first four episodes pretty much act as a setup for the rest of the season. “Enter Pikachu!” tells the tale ofPikachu’s origin, covering the events that saw him evolve from a Pichu into the Pokemon he is today. “Legend? Go! Friends? Go!” sees Ash meet Go, the traveling companion that he’ll spend the rest of the season with. “Ivysur’s Mysterious Tower!” reintroduces Team Rocket back into the series, and finally, “Settling the Scorbunny!” shows Go catching his very first Pokemon.
The season plans to have 25 episodes in total. WhenNetflix premieres the dub on June 12, it will do so with the first 12 episodes. From then on, the streaming service plans to release 12 new episodes every quarter. So it’s next “12” should appear around the time UK’s POP starts properly airing the show.
However, this “12” episode plan may change depending on the progress of the coronavirus situation. Because of the pandemic, The Pokemon Company has put theproduction of new Pokemon episodes on indefinite hiatus, meaning not enough installments exist for Netflix to premiere another 12. If the virus calms down by September, however, this can change.
As stated before, the US and UK, won’t be the only countries with access to the English dub of the season; they also won’t be the first to premiere it either. Anyone not in the mood to wait, and lucky enough to be in Canada can catch the English premiere in just five days on July 03, 2025. It will premiere on the Teletoon network, which also happens to stream some of its shows.
Pokemon Journeyswill travel to Netflix on July 01, 2025.
