The Pokémon Company and Aardman animation have announced a new collaboration coming to fans in 2027.
Details are scarce at the moment, but that doesn’t make today’s news any less exciting. The awesome folks over at Aardman (Shaun the Sheep, Wallace & Gromit) are working on something new for Pokémon.
The 2027 release window makes me think it might be something along the lines of a movie or animated special, but the press release mentions “adventures” (plural) so perhaps it’s a mini-series of some sort? Who knows, maybe it’s a new game featuring their style of animation and humor! Either way, I’m excited:
Today, The Pokémon Company International and multi-award-winning independent studio Aardman have announced a special project coming to audiences in 2027. The collaboration will see Aardman bringing their unique style of storytelling to the Pokémon universe in brand-new adventures.
Taito Okiura, VP of Marketing and Media at The Pokémon Company International, commented, “This is a dream partnership for Pokémon. Aardman are masters of their craft, and we have been blown away by their talent and creativity. What we have been working on together ensures our global Pokémon fans are in for a treat!”
Sean Clarke, Managing Director of Aardman, added, “It’s a huge honor to be working with The Pokémon Company International — we feel sincerely privileged to be trusted with bringing their characters and world to life in a brand-new way. Bringing together Pokémon, the world’s biggest entertainment brand, together with our love of craft, character and comedic storytelling feels incredibly exciting. Aardman and TPCi share an emphasis on heritage and attention to detail as well as putting our fans and audiences at the heart of what we do, which we know will steer us right as we together create charming, original and new stories for audiences around the world”
More information on the collaboration is planned to be shared in the future. What are you hoping to see out of it?
