Before you get too hyped there don’t appear to be any actual pokemon in this world:

The series will tell the story of Madoka Akagi, a young girl who moves to Tokyo and becomes enthralled with the world of Pokémon when her mother gifts her a Game Boy and a copy of Pokémon Red.

    Pokemon and most anime in general, or anything else targeted at children, always was and will be a commercial. That’s not even necessarily a bad thing, since a lot of them aim at being good enough that people want merch.

      I don’t disagree on anime/children’s content or even Star Wars to an extent but since this is a Pokémon show with no actual Pokémon I think it falls under the corporate commercial category more than anything else.
