Before you get too hyped there don't appear to be any actual pokemon in this world:

The series will tell the story of Madoka Akagi, a young girl who moves to Tokyo and becomes enthralled with the world of Pokémon when her mother gifts her a Game Boy and a copy of Pokémon Red.

I don’t disagree on anime/children’s content or even Star Wars to an extent but since this is a Pokémon show with no actual Pokémon I think it falls under the corporate commercial category more than anything else.

I think it’s an interesting and meta take to show a human, in the human world, becoming engrossed in the fictional world of Pokémon. I think many Pokémon gamers will be able to empathise well with her, having lived through the revelation of Pokémon on Game Boy and the amazing culture around it.
