Pokémon Legends: Arceus’ Hisui region is getting an anime series

An online animation based on the Hisui area, which is the geographic center of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, was announced at the Pokémon Presents on Feb. 27. It will be a unique story series and it is anticipated that the series will be available in 2022.

The Pokémon Company teased the series with a piece of artwork. The artwork shows a trainer walking in a snowy forest while looking up at the Hisuian Zorua shadow. The Hisui region, like many regions, has some special variants of popular Pokémon, including Hisuian Zorua.

The announcement described the series as an “online series,” so it’s possible it will be a short-series published on the official Pokémon YouTube channels. In 2021, the Pokémon Company released Pokémon Evolutions, which was an eight-episode series that explored different Pokémon regions. The company also released a miniseries in 2019 based on this series. Pokémon: Twilight Wings, and before that there was also a web series that presented a more mature side of the Pokémon world called Pokémon Generations.
