＜Pokemon＞ Kimiko Saito plays Lime-san, rap is “Really?”

New information has been announced for the anime “Pokémon” (official abbreviation: Anipoke, TV Tokyo, every Friday from 6:55 pm). The ghost-type gym leader Lime will appear in the 52nd episode, which will be broadcast on the 31st, and will be voiced by Kimiko Saito.

In episode 52, “Kayden, Strong Wind Warning!”, Riko, Roy, and Dot continue observing wild Pokémon in order to write a report.

Kaiden becomes frustrated with himself for not being able to fly properly when strong winds blow, and ends up fighting with Hogaeta…

At night, Kaiden sneaks out of the tent to practice flying. When Roy and Hogater notice that Kaiden is gone, they search for him, but a shadow creeps up on them…

Saito was surprised, saying, “I've always loved Pokemon, and my house is full of Pokemon goods…but this is my first time appearing in a Pokemon show!”

“The vibes are really up. Lime is heartfelt and soulful.

I thought it was a bit similar to me (laughs). Rhymes mean rap! But what will happen?” she commented.

The current new series is set throughout the Pokémon world and tells the story of the two main characters, Riko and Roy, “finding” something important through their adventures.
