It doesn’t reimagine how the Pokemon world would look in real life.
Madoka Akagi used to play Pokemon Red with her siblings growing up in the Kanto region.

There will also apparently be aDetective Pikachu movie sequel.
Poketsume will air on TV Tokyo starting on October 19, 2023.
The publisher hasn’t announced any plans to release subbed or dubbed versions.
