Aardman’s Pokémon show is a delightful-looking romp that follows Sirfetch'd and Pichu

We knew that Aardman, the animation studio behind Wallace & Gromit, was prepping a Pokémon show, but now we have some juicy details and actual footage. Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d and Pichu, as the name suggests, follows the sword-wielding Sirfetch'd and the baby pre-evolution of Pikachu.

It looks extremely charming, as one would expect from Aardman. The trailer is on the shorter side, but shows the dynamic duo getting involved in some cutesy shenanigans as an oblivious Wooloo relaxes in a field. It makes sense that the footage would highlight a sheep-inspired Pokémon, given that this studio also made Shaun the Sheep.

The show takes place in the Galar region, which is the UK-inspired land first introduced in Pokémon Sword & Shield. Aardman is a British studio, so this is a nice match. The program looks to focus entirely on pocket monsters, and not humans. This contrasts with the Netflix hit Pokémon Concierge, which follows a human protagonist.

Now for some bad news. Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d and Pichu isn't coming until 2027 and there's no streaming platform attached just yet. The trailer dropped during today's ">Pokémon Presents livestream which also gave us footage of the ">second batch of Pokémon Concierge episodes and a full hour of ">Pikachu DJing for some reason.
