Pokémon anime

The Pokémon Company have shared some more details and pictures for the new Pokémon anime series, which debuts on November 15th in Japan. First, we have two new characters:

Professor Sakuragi (voiced by Yuichi Nakamura)
Koharu, Professor Sakuragi’s daughter

We learn that Satoshi / Ash and Go’s adventure begins in the port of Vermillon City. This is also where Professor Sakuragi’s laboratory is located, the place where the two protagonist live. It’s described as a “hub”, from where they head to the different regions of the Pokémon world. Located at the back of the laboratory is the Sakuragi Park, where various Pokémon live.

Pokémon manga

The latest issue of CoroCoro magazine, to be released on October 15th, will reveal that the Pokémon manga (by Kousaku Anakubo), which has been serialised in CoroCoro for over 23 years, is ending. The November issue (the one releasing next week) will be the last one for the manga, and after that, it will move to Bessatsu CoroCoro Comics (bi-monthly magazine) and CoroCoro Aniki (quarterly magazine).

The manga will be replaced by a new Pokémon manga simply called Pokémon (Pocket Monsters, just like the anime series), by Machito Gomi, who previously worked on the manga adaptation of Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution.
