What is the Pokemon Trainer Tour?

Pokemon Trainer Tour is a "first-of-its-kind" series for The Pokemon Company International, which will focus on the fans of the franchise, particularly those who share a massive love for the Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG). It will be a series of interviews and interactions with fans hosted by popular Pokemon content creators Meghan "Strawburry17" Camarena and Andrew "Tricky Gym" Mahone.

The hosts will travel in a yellow Pikachu-themed bus to meet and greet these fans, to form new connections over the love of Pokemon TCG. In the exclusive by Variety, Andy Gose, senior director of media production at The Pokémon Company International said:

"While the Trainers recount their own unique life experiences in each episode, they all share a love for the Pokémon brand and Pokémon TCG."

Pokemon TCG fans are one of the oldest and original fans of the franchise, and it is their experience and adventure throughout the years that TPCi wants to highlight and showcase to the world. Gose further went on to say:

"This series offers fans an inside look into the varied experiences and heartfelt stories of some of the Trainers who make up the diverse array of Pokémon fans, and we’re so grateful to have had the opportunity to showcase how connections are fostered through the Pokémon TCG."

Pokemon Trainer Tour is the first reality show venture by TPCi outside of its usual animated series, games, and films section. This show looks at the franchise from a community-based perspective and is sure to highlight many unique stories by the fans.

The first episode will also be streamed on the official Pokemon YouTube channel, to commemorate this new project. However, it seems like this isn't the only show of its kind and TPCi might have planned for more. In the same exclusive, Gose also mentioned:
