A three-episode mini-web series, Pokémon: Hisui’s Snow, has been announced by The Pokémon Company: it will debut on May 18 on the official channels of the series.
The Pokémon Company International has revealed new details about an animated series that will take fans on a new adventure in the ancient Hisui region of the world Pokémon. The web series, whose trailer was shown during the Pokémon Presents event on Pokémon Day 2022 (you can view it in the player above), is titled Hisui’s snow and will be broadcast exclusively on the official Pokémon YouTube channel and on Pokémon TV on May 18, 2022.
The Hisui region was first explored in the video game Pokémon Legends: Arceus and represents the ancient Sinnoh-region before Pokémon Trainers and Leagues existed. Hisui’s Snow is set in an ancient era where the relationship between humans and Pokémon was very different. On a boat to the Hisui region, the protagonist Alec recalls when he first visited it with his father. Over the course of three episodes, Hisui’s snow will retrace some events from Alec’s past.
