NS025 - A Battle Festival Exploding With Life! VS Mega Lucario!!
Satoshi has decided to enter the "Battle Festival", a battle tournament held in the Kalos region. Lots of "Pokémon World Championships" participants are attending this tournament, so it's a gold opportunity to increase one's rank! After successfully winning his way through several battles, Satoshi ends up having to fight Corni, a Gym Leader he's previously battled in the Kalos region, in the match where his progression to the Super Class is at stake. How is Satoshi planning on taking on Corni's Mega Lucario?

NS026 - Splash, Koiking! / Crown Yourself, Yadoking!
"Splash, Koiking!" Go has entered a "Koiking High Jump Tournament", but he's highly unlikely to win because his Koiking is so fat. He then decides to train Koiking, referencing the bodybuilding videos made by Kasuking, the tournament's ultimate champion! GUEST STARRING COMEDIAN TOSHIAKI KASUGA AS KASUKING "Crown Yourself, Yadoking!" Satoshi and Go have come to Yadon Island, which is filled with Yadon as far as the eye can see! But then a Yadoking shows up as well, and a strange change comes over Satoshi.

Does anyone remember Yuyama doing any storyboarding for Pokeani in recent years? :o I don’t remember myself so this is a surprise! Also, first ever split Pokeani episode
NS027 - The Legend of Heroes! Dande's Ultimate Battle!
Satoshi and Go have gone to the Galar region to watch an official "Pokémon World Championships" match. They're both super excited to see a battle between two Trainers in the "Master Class", which consists of the 8 best in the championships. This noteworthy match is between Dande, the Greatest Of Them All and Satoshi's ultimate goal, and Kibana, a Gym leader of a Dragon Gym in the Galar region and Dande's rival. And now the battle between these passionate men begins! Screenplay 米村正二 (Shōji Yonemura) Storyboard 齋藤徳明 (Noriaki Saito) Episode Director 又野弘道 (Hiromichi Matano) Animation Director 新城真 (Makoto Shinjō) Animation Director 升谷有希 (Yuki Masutani)
This should be an amazing episode to witness!
NS028 - Messon Sobs For What Reason?
While still in the Galar region, Satoshi and Go encounter a timid crybaby Pokémon called Messon. Messon is very cowardly and quick to cry, and the components of its tears cause Satoshi and Go to be unable to stop crying as well. Not only that, but since Messon turns invisible when it touches water, it appears its own tears make it disappear, so Satoshi and the others lose sight of it. And then the Rocket Gang arrive in the Galar region... Screenplay 土屋理敬 (Michihiro Tsuchiya) Storyboard 齋藤徳明 (Noriaki Saito) Episode Director 小柴純弥 (Junya Koshiba) Animation Director 矢田木瀧 (Taki Yatagi) Animation Director 志村泉 (Izumi Shimura)
Messon/Sobble debut incoming! I’ve noticed a trend on them writing Gou and others if the episode focuses on Gou, so this is DEFINITELY more focused on Satoshi. Messon for Satoshi confirmed? :3
NS029 - One Crackling Fit of Jealousy: Wanpachi's Fantasy
Life goes on as usual in the Sakuragi household, the home of Pokémon professor Sakuragi, when the family Pokémon Wanpachi suddenly discovers an injured Tiny Pigeon Pokémon called Mamepato and takes it to the family's house. The professor's children Koharu and Sota fall completely for the Mamepato as they nurse it back to health, but it seems Wanpachi isn't entirely happy about that...? Screenplay 松井亜弥 (Aya Matsui) Storyboard 浅田裕二 (Yūji Asada) Episode Director 浅田裕二 (Yūji Asada) Animation Director 岩根雅明 (Masaaki Iwane) Animation Director 志村泉 (Izumi Shimura)
KOHARU EPISODE KOHARU EPISODE- krhm, it’s actually Wanpachi episode but, I’m certain this will help Koharu’s character grow, also more of her family! Aya Matsui writing, I’m certain this episode will be lovely! Also Iwane!
