Comments】※Original text

Minori Suzuki as Rico
The moment I received the audition materials and met Rico. I definitely want to go on an adventurous journey with Riko! I want to take the first step! I remember that I was filled with a passionate and strong feeling that I had never felt before. I wanted to play the role no matter what, so much so that I thought this encounter was fate. That is why I am just so happy that the staff, who have loved and created Pokemon, entrusted me with the role of Riko in this way.
I was born in 1997, the same year as Anipoke. Ever since I was born, Pokémon have been by my side as a matter of course. I hope that Pokemon will continue to be like that for everyone in the world. I will play Riko with all my heart and soul.
The next Anipoke is going to be the most wonderful one. Please look forward to it!

Hiroka Terasaki as ▲Roi
The three years I spent adventuring with Satoshi and Pikachu as Corny in the "Pokemon XY" TV animation series were like a treasured time for me. Because of what I learned from my seniors and their passion for the series, I feel even more pressure and responsibility now that I have been entrusted with the role of one of the main characters in the new series. I am determined to take on the challenge of this new series, holding the love I felt for the works of my seniors back then very close to my heart.
I hope that Riko and Roy will be like friends to children who are watching Anipoke for the first time in the future, and I will do my best to face the role and the work and deliver a good time to Anipoke fans so that they will also love Riko and Roy!
Please join me in witnessing the beginning of a new history. Please join me in witnessing the beginning of a new history.

Taku Yatsushiro as Fried
When I was in elementary school, I remember watching the TV animation "Pokemon" and dreaming of having adventures with Pokemon myself! I still remember how I dreamed of having adventures with Pokemon. When I found out that I was going to be cast in my favorite work, which has accumulated such a long history and continues to be loved by people all over the world, I was shaken with happiness and surprise.
I would like to play the character of Freed with all my heart, so that not only adults who have grown up with the history of Pokémon, but also children can feel the dreams that filled my heart like I once did.
