What We Think

Pokémon Horizons dips its toes into broader representation but stays grounded in the franchise’s non-woke, adventure-centric formula. Diversity is present but never at the expense of Pokémon’s tried-and-true themes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Pokémon Horizons introduces a more diverse main cast, but the emphasis largely remains on adventure, growth, and friendship. While new characters reflect broader representation, personal identity rarely takes priority over skill or narrative progression.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series generally steers clear of overt commentary on religion, family, or traditional morality. It retains classic adventure values, with no noticeable undermining of cultural foundations. Any subversion is mild and consistent with modern Pokémon trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Horizons promotes teamwork and inclusivity, but it doesn’t present alternative worldviews in a disruptive or preachy manner. Differences between characters are acknowledged, but there’s little aggressive villainization of non-mainstream opinions.
