Pokemon & Monopoly

OVERVIEW

For Hasbro, sourced through Tongal, we produced two tabletop animation videos showcasing how Pokémon Monopoly works, built to capture the energy of the Pokémon world itself, not just explain the rules.

Rather than a static, straightforward tabletop demo, we built dynamic, moving backgrounds throughout, giving the piece that signature fast-paced, high-energy Pokémon look and feel. The result plays less like a rulebook explainer and more like a piece of Pokémon media in its own right game mechanics shown with genuine visual pace and personality.

It's a good example of adapting stop motion tabletop work to fit an existing, highly recognisable brand world, rather than building a visual identity from nothing matching the tone and energy audiences already expect from Pokémon.
