About Pokemon Evolutions
Pokemon Evolutions will have eight episodes. A new episode will be release every two weeks on Thursday. Each episode will focus on a story from each region in the Pokemon world. Starting in Galar and ending where it all began. Kanto.
“‘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.
Based on the image above, each episode of Pokemon Evolutions will tell a story from the perspective of a character from the region. If that is the case, then we are going to be looking through the eyes of some interesting characters.
Just on the image above, we see one of the Kimono Girls from Ecruteak City, Barry from the Sinnon Region and Leaf/Green from Kanto. There are also some villains featured such as Lysandre and Ghetsis.
