New Pokémon project in the works with Wallace and Gromit maker Aardman


The Pokémon Company is teaming up with Wallace and Gromit maker Aardman for a "special project" due in 2027.

Though it's unclear exactly what the project will be, Aardman will be bringing its "unique style of storytelling to the Pokémon universe in brand-new adventures" - presumably a film or TV series. Aardman is best known for its stop-motion Wallace and Gromit films, but has also dabbled in video games with Shaun the Sheep and Chicken Run spin-offs, as well as the BAFTA-nominated 11-11: Memories Retold set in WW1. "It's a huge honour to be working with The Pokémon Company International- we feel sincerely privileged to be trusted with bringing their characters and world to life in a brand-new way," added Sean Clarke, managing director of Aardman.
