Written By Samantha Ferreira September 1, 2019

Earlier today, the official Pokemon YouTube channel updated with a new trailer for an upcoming anime project. According to the teaser, the new project, titled Pocket Monsters, will be revealed on September 29.

Pocket Monsters shares its title with the first anime project, which hit Japanese TV in 1997.

Still from 1997 Pokemon anime

The new project will include Pokemon from all regions, from Kanto, to Johto, to the new Galar region that will be explored in the upcoming Pokemon Sword & Shield games on the Nintendo Switch.

The Pokemon anime made its debut on Japanese TV in April 1997. The title, which is based on The Pokemon Company’s game franchise of the same name, has since gone on to spawn more than ninety anime and manga adaptations.
