A trailer for PokeTsume, a new live-action TV show from The Pokémon Company, has been released.
The show follows Madoka Agaki, a university graduate from a small port town who decides to quit her job at a seafood manufacturer and moves to Tokyo to join a small advertising agency called ADventure.
Although she used to dream about living in Tokyo, once she gets there, Madoka soon realises everyday life isn’t what she expected, and she starts to stress when she takes on a presentation that could result in the fate of her company resting in her hands.
Then Madoka receives a package from her mother, containing the Game Boy Pocket and a copy of Pokémon Red she used to play as a child. She starts playing the game and realises it contains something that’s important in life.
The show is billed as the world’s first ‘Pokémon human drama’, in which the main character grows through their experiences playing Pokémon.
Descriptions for several other characters in the show have also been released. Via Serebii, characters will be based on certain Pokemon. For example, Kageaki Hiyama is reportedly based on a Charmander, who feels his flame is about to extinguish.

Madoka will be played by Nanase Nishino, a former member of Japanese idol group Nogizaka46 who went on to become an actress, model and TV host.
In 2022, Nishino won a Japan Academy Film Prize – the Japanese equivalent of the Oscars – for Newcomer of the Year for her role in the crime film Last of the Wolves.
“I was surprised to receive this offer just days after I’d told a friend that I’d like to work on something related to Pokémon someday,” Nishino said in a statement.
“I’m very happy because I’m part of the generation that grew up with Pokémon, having played most of the series from the first to the latest.”

The new Pokémon drama won’t look anything like the existing games or anime — instead, it’s taking Pokémon into live-action.

Detective Pikachu isn’t the only live-action Pokemon offshoot in existence. There’s also a Japanese TV series on the way, but don’t expect to see more CG-animated Pokémon waltzing about in this one. Per Crunchyroll news, Pocket ni Boken o Tsumekonde — Pack Your Pockets with Adventure, or PokéTsume for short —is a Pokemon-inspired drama that aims to mine a very specific type of nostalgia. In particular, nostalgia aimed at folks who grew up on the original Game Boy and the first Pokemon games.
When we first heard that Japan would make a live-action Pokemon series, we felt, “It was about time!” But then we listened more to what they had to say about what they were making, and admittedly, our eyebrows went way up. Because this wasn’t a series about a live-action trainer going around the world and catching Pokemon, this was a series set in our world about a young woman who needed the video game series to get through a tough period in her life. It sounded both very weird and “very Japanese.” And now, PokéTsume has gotten its first trailer.
