I'd pay to see Wallace as a Pokemon master ngl.

See the article for the (vague) details! https://daily.pokecommunity.com/202...mon-collaboration-announced-for-2027-release/

ah, yes, Pokemon and Gromit, let's go. I joked about it, but I genuinely wasn't aware this was the company that made that film series. Should be good.

Would love to watch a claymation version of the Pokemon universe. Could see the Torchic line in a parody of "Chicken Run."

Blaziken Run! Wallace and Grovyle!

Can we please have Shaun the Wooloo? I would do anything for this :3c

In before a criminal Eiscue.

Seems like a good match. Wonders if any Generation 10 Pokemon will make it in. Makes sense to do so, marketing-wise. Likely releases Generation 10 at the end of 2025. Slated the release of this project for 2027, which is decently far into Generation 10's lifespan. How long will it be before any Generation 10 designs are finalized, though? Cannot afford to waste too much time.

It will certainly be a novelty to see how these critters will look in this style of animation, however since it's a western animation studio, I need to remain cautious of this one.
For some reason, there has been a recent trend of westerners handling japanese franchises to add some of the more contentious western cultural elements into them.

If there's a silver lining, Yuka Marii's clay aesthetic in Pokemon TCG artwork has been one of the more memorable aspects of the card game itself. So if they succeed, they'll likely make out like bandits.

I can't wait to see this one!
