Pikachu & Psyduck Star in Super-Cute Pokemon Animated Short with Pokemon Quest Visuals

Today The Pokemon Company released a brand-new animated short that fans of the Pokemon franchise will likely enjoy.

The video, titled “The Square Pokemon of Marjanai Island” stars Pikachu and a band of Psyducks on what appears to be a desert island named Marjanai This is just the first episode, titled “An Unusual Encounter” and more have been provided.

Interestingly, the video features the super-cute Minecraft-like art style of the free-to-play game for Switch, iOS, and Android Pokemon Quest, which launched all the way back in 2018. The connection with the game also extends to a link to its official site in the video description, albeit Pokemon Quest is set on another island, Tumblecube Island (or Kakukori Island in Japanese).
