For fans of Kunihiko Yuyama: what to watch, read & play next

Cross-media picks for Kunihiko Yuyama fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.

These picks share the warm, open-hearted spirit of the Pokémon animated universe — a world where friendship between people and fantastical creatures matters more than any battle outcome. Across films, series, games, and manga, they return to the same tender question: what does it mean to grow alongside a companion who sees the world differently? The tone is earnest without being naive, adventurous without losing its heart.

Frequently asked

What should I watch first if I love the Pokémon films?

Start with the original Pokémon TV series for the full Ash-and-Pikachu journey, then try Pokémon Origins for a game-faithful Kanto retelling. If you want a similar child-hero-in-a-fantastical-world feel outside the Pokémon franchise, Digimon Frontier follows five kids summoned to a Digital World to save it.

Are there games for fans of the Pokémon animated films?

Yes — Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow is the purest form of the world the films brought to life, while PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond and Pokémon Snap capture the gentler, wonder-first tone of the animated shorts.

Are there manga for fans of the Pokémon films?

The Pokémon Adventures manga (ポケモンスペシャル) retells every main game era with higher dramatic stakes than the anime. Volumes featuring Crystal chasing Suicune, the Ilex Forest showdown, and the Black/White Team Plasma arc are strong starting points.
