Tokimeki PokéLive! and Twinbee

***Tokimeki PokéLive! and Twinbee*** is a crossover series involving the *Pokémon*, *Love Live!*, *Tokimeki Memorial* and *Twinbee* franchises, the Nintendo/Game Freak-developed *Pokémon* games, *Love Live! School Idol Festival* and it's *ALL STARS* sequel and the Kirameki and Hibikino sagas of *TokiMemo* in particular.

An anime adaptation was created by Sunrise and OLM which was released in 2020.

A special *PokéLive!* chapter of the *Pokémon Adventures* (*Pokémon Special* in Japan) manga was published in CoroCoro in early 2021 with an English release by Viz Media later that year.

An alternate *PokéLive!* manga series, called ***Tokimeki PokéLive! and Twinbee:Nijigasaki Mastermix***, written by Hitoshi Ariga and Sakurako Kimino with art by Hitoshi Ariga and Yuuhei Murota with guest art on occasion by Patrick Spaziante, Tracy Yardley, Yuji Uekawa, Ken Sugimori and James Turner, was published in Ultra Jump and Dengeki G's in Winter 2020 with an English release by Viz Media in Spring 2021.

Even though *PokéLive!* may be just as lighthearted like regular *Love Live!*, the series does have darker stories/moments, though they're mainly seen in the Shonen-esque Side Story arcs, which are more faithful to the *Pokémon* games and other media that isn't the main Pokémon anime that stars Ash Ketchum, and the Special Stories, which are more likely to have sad moments in them in addition to revealing darker/sad bits to certain character's backstories.

## Trivia

* Interestingly, so far, every character who utilizes a Pokémon or Mega Evolution designed by Hitoshi Ariga (Including characters such as Yoko, who are OCs/Fan Characters created for the series.) across the series is a Canon/Official character who originates from *Love Live!*, or is a *Love Live!* related FC.
* Though it may feel like regular *Love Live!* as well as *TokiMemo* and *Twinbee* due to the Main Stories being Slice of Life affairs, thanks to the Side Story arcs and Special Stories, the *PokéLive!* series is one of the darker LL! continuities out there despite there being no blood and gore in any of the stories.
