Detective Pikachu (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-detective-pikachu/) isn't the only live-action Pokemon offshoot in existence. There's also a Japanese TV series on the way, but don't expect to see more CG-animated Pok?mon waltzing about in this one. Per Crunchyroll news (https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2023/10/5/live-action-pokemon-japanese-drama-poketsume-catches-first-major-trailer), Pocket ni Boken o Tsumekonde ? Pack Your Pockets with Adventure, or Pok?Tsume for short ?is a Pokemon-inspired drama that aims to mine a very specific type of nostalgia. In particular, nostalgia aimed at folks who grew up on the original Game Boy and the first Pokemon games.*
Madoka Akagi is one such person, and she's about to rediscoverthe adventures she loved as a child. She's currently moving to Tokyo to pursue her ambitions as a creator, and receives something very special during the move. Her family gives her a Game Boy Pocket and Pokemon Red as a parting gift. Since she grew up playing Pokemon, she's immediately ready to dive back into its world. You can hear those familiar sounds and watch as her work life intermingles with her rekindled love for 'Mon in the first trailer for the drama.*

Once a game freak
The actor in the role of Madoka is Nanase Nishino. She's played roles like Hiromi in Shin Kamen Rider, but she has an even better qualification for Pok?Tsume. She's a Pok?mon fan in real life, so playing someone like Madoka should come naturally.
Pok?Tsume was created as a collaboration between Pok?mon Inc. and TV Tokyo. Its premiere is right around the corner as part of the network's MokuDora24 slot on October 19.*
Beyond this, there's also that live-action Pokemon series (https://www.destructoid.com/netflix-live-action-pokemon-series-early-stages/) in the works at Netflix and a Detective Pikachu sequel. It's been a while since we heard anything about either, so maybe we're better off firing up our Game Boys like Madoka in the meantime.*
