The live-action anime adaptations have a long history of disappointing the fandom, but Netflix’s One Piece finds the right balance to break the trend.
And now, fans are so exhilarated by this 8-episode live-action adaptation series and it’s clearly noticeable that it’s very hard to beat the mighty fandom of Netflix’s One Piece.
But to compete with the One Piece series, one of the most potent anime franchises is ready with its live-action adaptation drama.
In this article, you’ll get to know the anime name and all the information revealed by officials which can be a good competitor for Netflix’s One Piece series.
Fill Your Pockets With Adventure, New Anime Adaptation is Coming
Anime News Network has reported that TV Tokyo and the Pokemon Company have officially announced Pocket ni Bōken wo Tsumekonde, a fresh and unique drama series featuring Nanase Nishino.
This series is centered around the classic Pokemon games, Green and Red. The title can be interpreted as “Fill Your Pocket With Adventure.”
Rather than being an adaptation of the Pokemon universe, the show unfolds in its own reality. It tracks the journey of Nanase Nishino’s character, Madoka Akagi, an aspiring creative who turns to her cherished childhood game, Pokemon Red, as she grapples with establishing a career after relocating to Tokyo.
Presumably, numerous heartfelt tributes about the unifying, cross-generational influence of Pokemon will unfold.
The New Drama Features the Retirement of the Original Protagonist
It’s a fascinating direction for Pokemon to explore as the franchise expands its adaptational reach into film and television.
With endeavors such as Detective Pikachu, Concierge, and notably, the recent evolution of the long-standing Pokemon anime earlier this year, this Pokemon drama features the retirement of the original protagonist, Satoshi/Ash Ketchum.

This drama centered around the series itself, rather than a direct adaptation, occupies a distinctive niche. The title of the drama says it all: adventure. Audiences can look forward to witnessing Madoka and her friends as they grow through their thrilling escapades.
For those who have embarked on numerous Pokemon journeys themselves, the show holds the promise of nostalgic references that will bring back fond memories.
Nishino also mentions, “I think you will enjoy these little tidbits that are scattered throughout.” This project is scheduled to premiere on October 19th.
So, fellow trainers, mark your calendars for October 19th and prepare to embark on an entirely new type of Pokemon adventure.
