New Pokemon Reality Show Debuts Tomorrow
A new Pokemon show is debuting this week, and surprisingly, it’s not an animated series–it’s a reality show.
Pokemon: Trainer Tour stars two popular Pokemon content creators–Meghan “Strawburry17” Camarena and Andrew “Tricky Gym” Mahone–who serves as hosts for each episode. The show follows the Pokemon-loving duo as they travel across the country in a Pikachu-themed bus to “meet and mentor aspiring trainers looking to foster connections with family and friends through their love of the Pokemon Trading Card Game.” (via Variety)
The eight-episode series is focused on “spotlighting individuals from Pokemon’s incredibly diverse fan base,” according to The Pokemon Company senior director of media production Andy Gose.
