Today, The Pokémon Company International announced “Pokémon Evolutions,” a limited animated series created to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary. The eight-episode series will take fans on a journey through all the known regions of the Pokémon world explored in the core video game franchise. Pokémon Evolutions will premiere exclusively on the official Pokémon YouTube channel and Pokémon TV worldwide on September 9. Check out a trailer for the series here.
“‘Pokémon Evolutions’ is both an exciting new collection of animation for the brand and a thank-you to the millions of fans around the world who have joined us on this journey over the past 25 years. Each region has been a touchstone for new generations of Pokémon Trainers as the brand has grown, and we wanted ‘Pokémon Evolutions’ to pay homage to that legacy while also being innovative and contemporary. It’s a new adventure and familiar all at once. And, with the last episode set in Kanto, ‘Pokémon Evolutions’ is a meaningful way to end our anniversary celebrations in the place where it all began for Pokémon 25 years ago.”
Colin Palmer, vice president of marketing for The Pokémon Company International
