But today, the official Pok\u00e9mon Twitter reminded us that the show is coming, and it&#8217;ll be here on <strong>18th May<\/strong>. Not a very wintery time of year here in the UK, mind you, but we&#8217;ll always take some new Pok\u00e9mon content.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A new adventure through stunning Hisui begins in Pok\u00e9mon: Hisuian Snow! \ud83c\udfd4\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Join Alec as he explores the region and has an encounter that may change the way he views Pok\u00e9mon!

It&#8217;s lovely and is absolutely in keeping with Legends: Arceus&#8217; visual inspirations. The web series will be called <strong>Pok\u00e9mon: Hisuian Snow<\/strong> and will air at <strong>1pm UTC<\/strong> (thanks, Serebii!).<\/p>\n<p>The animation is being created in collaboration with Wit Studio, who gained notoriety after working on the first three seasons of <strong>Attack on Titan<\/strong>. It has worked with Nintendo and The Pok\u00e9mon Company in the past too, producing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu\/star_fox_zero\">Star Fox Zero<\/a> short <strong>Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins<\/strong> as well as working on the 2018 Pok\u00e9mon movie <strong>The Power of Us.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The show will feature an original storyline set in the ancient lands of Hisui and will star a boy named Alec and his new companion Hisuian Zorua. It looks to focus on one of the game&#8217;s main themes \u2014 that Pok\u00e9mon and people can indeed live in harmony together.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve grabbed the show&#8217;s summary from the official Pok\u00e9mon website:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Get ready for a new adventure set in the vast, stunning Hisui region. Produced by WIT STUDIO, Pok\u00e9mon: Hisuian Snow launches May 18 with the first episode in a three-part limited animated series. Available on Pok\u00e9mon TV and the official Pok\u00e9mon YouTube channel, Pok\u00e9mon: Hisuian Snow tells the story of a boy named Alec and his encounter with a Hisuian Zorua. When he was younger, Alec&#8217;s father taught him that people and Pok\u00e9mon cannot live together. But Alec&#8217;s interactions with the Zorua might offer a different lesson.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Watch the first episode of Pok\u00e9mon: Hisuian Snow starting May 18 on Pok\u00e9mon TV or the official Pok\u00e9mon YouTube channel.
