Pokemon publishes video constantly: game trailers, animated shorts, classic anime clips, tournament broadcasts and developer interviews. Most of it goes up on the official channels with no announcement. This desk catches the ones worth your time and says what is actually in them.
What we cover
- Game trailers — reveals, add-on teasers and Pokemon Presents segments
- POKETOON — the official animated short series, each film in a different style
- Anime — new episodes and clips, including archive material from the original series and the movies
- Championships — Worlds and Regionals broadcasts, plus event trailers
- Developer interviews — the rarest category, and usually the most interesting
Right now
The PokemonXP trailer is the notable recent drop: it confirms the franchise's first official fan convention, running alongside the 2026 World Championships in San Francisco, with panels on Pokemon news and on how the Pokemon world is built. The Champions official Worlds soundtrack is out.
Game Freak also released a video interview with Pokemon Pokopia director Shigeru Ohmori that includes early prototype footage — something the studio almost never shows.
