History Of Pokemon
Pokemon was first created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1995.
Pokemon premiered on TV as a cartoon in 1997. It has a total of 18 seasons. Even after all this time, people are still watching and rewatching it. It is almost like a classic of the cartoon world! It is one of the most successful franchises.
In its 24 year history, it has been adapted into numerous TV shows, movies, trading card games, and video games.
There are 23 animated movies in the franchise.
The very first live-action film was Detective Pikachu. It did extremely well and was a huge hit!
Pokemon Live-Action Series Will Be Coming Soon To Netflix
A Pokemon live-action series is in the making on Netflix. Apparently, there is also going to be a live-action movie to tie into that.
Not too many details are known as of now.
What Is The Release Date For The Pokemon Live-Action Series?
According to reports, it is still in its early days of production so nothing can be predicted as of now. Usually, such highly animated and highly edited shows take a long time to make so there will most likely be a huge gap between its inception and its release, eventually.
That is why we, unfortunately, cannot expect to see it anytime soon.
However, don’t be disheartened! As the saying goes, good things take time and this is definitely going to be worth the wait.
