A brand new Pokemon anime short has dropped just in time for Pokemon Day – and it's available to wa✱tch for free.

Dragonite and the Postman is short and sweet, clocking in with a runtime of just over 14 minutes. Shared on the official accou🅷nt, it follows Hana, a young girl who's fascinated by a Dragonite postman.

One day, she finds a letter without an address and sets out to find the sender with her partner Pokémon, Fuecoco. The sender turns out to be a young boy named Rio, who wrote the letter for his father's birthday as he's currently working aꦛway from home in another region. It's already his father's birthday, though, so it's a race against time for Hana and Rio to make sure the letter arrives.

The film was produ𒊎ced by CoMix Wave Films, the studio behind anime movi🍌es like Suzume, Weathering With You, and Your Name. Taku Kimura, who previously helmed an episode of Star Wars: Visions, directed the short.

Unfortunately, there isn't an English dub or any English subs for the short just yet, but it's definitely still worth c﷽hecking it out for the gorgeou🎀s animation.

That's not the only exciting thing to come out of Pokemon Day, either – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the Pokemon Company also revealed that new episodes of the stop-motion animated series Pokemon Concierge will be 💎a🥃rriving on Netflix this fall after an almost two-year wait since season 1.

Dragonite and the Postman is available to watch for free on YouTube now. For more, check out our guide to the best 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new anime still to come in 2025.
