The Pokémon Company has continued to broaden the reach of its iconic franchise with the release of a new addition to the Poketoon animated series.

Titled “I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Kangaskhan,” the latest Poketoon short is now available for global audiences via the official Pokémon YouTube channel.

This creative short spotlights Kangaskhan, a fan-favorite Pokémon that first appeared in the original Pokémon Red and Blue games for the Nintendo hardware family. Launched as part of Pokémon’s ongoing efforts to expand its universe beyond video games and trading cards, the Poketoon series has become a showcase of diverse animation styles and storytelling.

"I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Kangaskhan" follows the journey of a young girl named Yura, who dreams of making her mark as a Pokémon battle commentator.

Her ambitions are put to the test when the Kangaskhan she shares her life with unexpectedly undergoes Mega Evolution, a transformation feature first introduced in Pokémon X and Y for Nintendo 3DS.

This adds a new dimension to the narrative and provides fresh insights into the bond between trainers and their Pokémon companions. In a statement accompanying the short’s release, The Pokémon Company emphasized its commitment to delivering diverse content for fans of all ages.

The company noted the ongoing popularity of the Poketoon series in bringing unique perspectives and new storytelling angles to the expansive Pokémon universe, showcasing beloved Pokémon like Kangaskhan in settings outside of mainline Nintendo Switch games or mobile titles. Since its inception, Poketoon has garnered positive reception among fans and critics alike, highlighting its blend of innovative animation and heartfelt stories.

The series streams directly through the Pokémon YouTube channel, giving global audiences immediate access to high-quality Pokémon content free from regional restrictions.

The new installment, "I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Kangaskhan," continues this tradition, further enriching the Pokémon Company’s multimedia portfolio alongside recent Nintendo Switch releases and ongoing animations like "Pokémon Journeys." “I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Kangaskhan” is now available for streaming on the Pokémon YouTube channel.
