Japan is getting a live-action Pokemon series...about playing Pokémon.
The series, titled Pocket Filled with Adventure in English, is set to follow Madoka Akagi (played by Nanase Nishino), a woman who becomes obsessed with playing Pokémon Red after being gifted the game by her mother after relocating to Tokyo for a new job. The show will air on Tokyo TV starting this October 19 with one episode airing weekly (H/T Nintendo Life).
Of course, this is not to be confused with the live-action Pokémon series being developed by Netflix – which was announced back in 2021. The show, set in a live-action format akin to Detective Pikachu, is set to be helmed by Lucifer co-showrunner Joe Henderson. Pre-production reportedly began in April of this year, though we haven't heard anything since – and it's likely delayed due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
