There’s a new one-shot Pokémon anime on the way, titled Dragonite and the Postal Worker, and while the Dragon/Flying-type is a pretty big species of Pokémon, there’s another huge presence involved, Comix Wave Films, the anime studio that produced the theatrical anime phenomenon Your Name, Weathering with You, and Suzume.
The producers are promising plenty of treats for sharp-eyed viewers, with professional Pokémon at work and wild Pokémon in their natural habitats.
The story opens in the Paldea region, setting of Pokémon Scarlet and Voilet, where we meet ace postwoman Hana.
Creating the soundtrack is Japan-based California-born composer Evan Call, whose resume includes the music for anime TV series Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
