Pokemon Legends: Arceus Anime Series is Pokemon: Hisuian Snow

The Pokemon Company international announced a launch date for the first episode of Pokemon: Hisuian Snow, a short anime series based on Pokemon Legends: Arceus. This will be a web series everyone can watch online. There will be three episodes total. The first one will air online on May 18, 2022. (It will appear the same day in Japan.)

The announcement offered some details about the stars of the series. The leads are a young man named Alec and a Hisuian Zoroa. Hisuian Zorua is a normal and ghost-type Pokemon with a tragic background. But throughout the series, people will see the relationship develop between Alec and one of them. The splash art for the three-episode series shows Alec, who is wearing a Zoroark mask, meeting the Pokemon.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus isn’t the entry in the Pokemon series to inspire a short, anime web series. For example, it happened for Pokemon Sword and Shield as well. Pokemon: Twilight Wings, by Studio Colorido and Filmony, featured short episodes online focusing on characters from the series.

Episode 1 of the Pokemon: Hisuian Snow short series will appear on May 18, 2022. People will be able to watch it on Pokemon TV and YouTube. Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available for the Nintendo Switch.
