We’re still thinking back to the incredible Pokémon World Championship 2025 held this past summer in Anaheim, California! ⚡

The Anaheim Convention Center was absolutely packed — a true celebration that brought together thousands of fans from around the world.

We’re extremely proud to have been one of the studios working under the leadership of Nathan Love to produce the opening cinematic for the event. The piece was broadcast globally across the stadium’s giant screens, setting the tone for an unforgettable championship.

For this production, our team at Firelight Animation Studio upgraded several legendary Pokémon — with Pikachu leading the way — developing enhanced Character Development and a custom outline system to achieve the exact look the client envisioned.

A project we’ll always remember.
And we can’t wait for the next adventure! ✨

It was a pleasure to be part of XPOSURE 2025 — an inspiring event that brings together some of the most creative minds in the industry. 🌍

As one of the first 3D animation studios to take part in this well-established gathering in the UAE and the Middle East, we feel truly honored. Our belief is strong: together, we can expand the influence of animation in this region — pushing boundaries, telling powerful stories, and building new partnerships.

Thank you to the organizers and everyone we met for such a warm welcome.
