Reports circulating about Japanese animation studio 100studio producing a new Pokémon anime short specifically featuring the popular Psychic/Fairy-type Pokémon Gardevoir are not supported by official announcements or available information. While both 100studio and new Pokémon animated content are actively in production, there has been no confirmation of such a collaboration or a Gardevoir-centric short from this particular studio.
Understanding 100studio’s Role in Animation
100studio (ワンダブルオースタジオ) is a Japanese animation studio that was founded in 2021 as a subsidiary of the company HIKE. Based in Suginami, Japan, the studio has expanded its operations with branches in various locations, including Nishi-Ogikubo, Fukuoka, Osaka, Taipei, and Seoul, demonstrating a commitment to supporting creators globally.
The studio’s philosophy revolves around “100% Passion, 100 Hundreds of possibilities, Over 100 years” of quality animation, aiming to enrich people’s hearts through their work. 100studio is involved in a range of animation projects, encompassing TV series, films, original net animation (ONA), game-related content, and music videos. Their recent and upcoming television series include titles such as “Gimai Seikatsu,” “Kono Sekai wa Fukanzen Sugiru,” and “Chuuzenji-sensei Mononoke Kougiroku: Sensei ga Nazo wo Hodoite Shimau kara.” They have also been involved in adapting manga series into anime. However, none of their publicly listed projects or announcements mention any involvement with the Pokémon franchise.
Recent Pokémon Animated Short Productions
The Pokémon Company consistently releases various animated content, including short films and series, often highlighting individual Pokémon or specific regions. These shorts frequently explore diverse animation styles and storytelling approaches.
Studio Colorido and the POKÉTOON Project
Recently, other animation studios have been responsible for new Pokémon shorts. For example, Studio Colorido, known for its work on “Pokémon Journeys” and “Penguin Highway,” has been a key contributor to the POKÉTOON Project. The POKÉTOON series features a collection of animated mini-episodes focusing on different Pokémon, expanding the world with unique stories. Recent installments from Studio Colorido have spotlighted Pokémon like Wooper and Clodsire from the Paldea region, and another titled “Megahanasenai ne Garura” (I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Her, Can I Kangaskhan) featuring Kangaskhan.
Other Noteworthy Shorts
The Pokémon Company also announced a new short anime series called “Monpoke,” aimed at toddlers and small children, slated for release in February 2025 in Japan. This series, animated by Studio Fanworks (known for “Aggretsuko”), will feature Pikachu and be set on Monpoke island. Additionally, “Chasing the Moon,” an adorable short featuring Pikachu and other Pokémon like Lunala, Grookey, Growlithe, Teddiursa, and Umbreon, was released to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in September 2024. Two “summer vacation” themed shorts, “First Outing with Morpeko” and “Chimchar and the Rookie Pokémon Researcher,” also premiered on the official Pokémon YouTube channel in July 2025.
Gardevoir’s Presence in the Pokémon Anime
Gardevoir, the Embrace Pokémon, is a fan-favorite known for its loyalty and psychic abilities. It has made several notable appearances throughout the long-running Pokémon anime series and various animated clips. Diantha’s Mega Gardevoir, for instance, played a significant role in “Pokémon the Series: XY,” showcasing its powerful Mega Evolution and strong bond with its trainer in battles against formidable opponents like Team Rocket.
While Gardevoir is a beloved Pokémon, there is no current official information from The Pokémon Company or 100studio confirming a new animated short dedicated to Gardevoir and produced by 100studio. Fans eager for new content featuring Gardevoir should monitor official Pokémon channels for future announcements.
