Live-action Pokémon TV show gets a new trailer

The new Pokémon drama won’t look anything like the existing games or anime — instead, it’s taking Pokémon into live-action. The new TV series, which will translate to Cram Adventures Into a Pocket The term is used more commonly as PokétsumeThe trailer for the upcoming film, was unveiled on Thursday. It gives viewers a taste of what they can expect.

Nanase Nishino plays Madoka Akagi, a young graduate starting a career in advertising. The Pokétsume The trailer shows Akagi trying to adjust to her new life until she receives a care package sent by her mother. Pokémon Red Akagi also has a yellow Game Boy Pocket. Akagi boots up Pokémon for the first time in decades, and it looks like her nostalgia for the game is somewhat of a coping mechanism (there’s a scene where she appears to take on a digital version of her boss in a battle), but, crucially, it’s also a positive force in her life, connecting her with others.

No Pokémon show up in the new trailer, so don’t expect the show to look much like Detective Pikachu. Still, Pokétsume looks to be a playful take on Pokémon, celebrating the way the Pokémon has impacted its fans’ lives. The show is expected to debut in Japan on Oct. 19, and there’s no indication it’ll get a global release.
