Pokémon Evolutions, an eight-episode web-exclusive series honoring the worldwide entertainment franchise’s quarter-century anniversary, will launch on September 9th, according to a press statement from the Pokémon Company. The trailer for the program may be found in the tweet below from @Pokémon.

Pokémon Evolutions is planned to take fans on a nostalgic journey through the many regions that have been experienced by fans over the years in Pokémon’s video game titles. The series will begin in the Galar area, which was most recently covered in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, before building up to its conclusion in Kanto, the home of so many aspiring trainers.

The web series will take an episode-by-episode approach to each of the regions, but, as intuitive fans may have predicted from the preceding paragraph, it will do so in reverse chronological order from how they were explored in the games: Galar, Alola, Kalos, Unova, Sinnoh, Hoenn, Johto, and Kanto.
