Pokémon: Hisuian Snow (雪ほどきし二藍, Snowmelt Indigo) is a 2022 Japanese ONA series releasing on YouTube and Pokémon TV by The Pokémon Company.
Pokémon: Hisuian Snow[1][2] is a series of 3 episodes, inspired by Hisui region of the Pokémon world. The first episode was released on May 18, 2022.
The Hisui region was originally explored in the Pokémon Legends: Arceus video game and represents the Sinnoh region of old before the existence of Pokémon Trainers and Pokémon Leagues. Pokémon: Hisuian Snow is a story that takes place during this ancient age when the relationship between people and Pokémon was very different.
