Pokémon Sword and Shield’s Ball Guy is not to be trusted. We’ve covered this already. He may jump, cheer and dance to encourage you through gym battles, but underneath that head lies Pokémon’s true monster. Watch out, then, for Pokémon Evolutions. This limited-run series will debut next week on Pokémon’s YouTube channel and Pokémon TV app, and feature each of the franchise’s eight regions to date in reverse chronological order. This means an episode set in Ball Guy’s Galar region is up first, on 9th September, before subsequent weeks explore Alola, Kalos, Unova, Sinnoh, Hoenn, Johto and finally Kanto on 23rd December.
