The Pokémon Firm introduced on X (previously Twitter) on Wednesday that it’s going to launch a brand new weekly animated Pokétoon quick for eight weeks in a row. The primary episode is obtainable on YouTube now. New episodes will come out each Wednesday.
The primary earlier Pokétoon quick, “POKÉTOON: Scraggy and Mimikyu,” premiered in June 2020 on the Pokémon Kids TV YouTube channel. Eight shorts from that earlier run can be found on that YouTube channel with English subtitles (though a few of the shorts wouldn’t have dialogue).
Taku Inoue (MAN WITH A MISSION THE ANIMATION) was the animation director of the primary quick. Yoshiyuki Koie, who was additionally a producer of the Pokémon: Twilight Wings quick animated sequence, produced the animation. The quick featured animations by Miyako Makio, Ryousuke Senbo, Shinichi Suzuki, and Shūya Yoshisato. Tsutomu Ikeda drew the backgrounds, and Kei Tsuda dealt with the music.
Two new shorts within the sequence, “Hero ni Naritai Yanchamu” (Pancham Who Desires to Be a Hero) and “Yume no Tsubomi” (Dreaming Tsubomi) debuted in Could and June 2021.
The Pokémon Youngsters TV channel then debuted the “Mattete ne Koiking” (Simply Wait, Magikarp) quick in July 2021, the “Poka-Poka MaguMaggu House” (Cozy Slugma Home) short in August 2021, the “Gengar ni Nacchatta!?” (I Turned a Gengar?!) short in September 2021, the “Fubuki no Natsu Yasumi” (Summer time Trip Blizzard) short in October 2021, and the “Purin no Uta” (Jigglypuff’s Song) short in December 2021.
