Looking to follow the footsteps of esports documentaries like Free to Play and The Road to Worlds, To Be the Very Best will cover the path of some of the best players in the Pokémon Championship Series as they aim for the title of World Champion. Coordinated by 2x US National Champion Wolfe Glick (Wolfey), the feature length documentary will focus on stories from players like Aaron Zheng (Cybertron) and Ray Rizzo (Ray) but also interviews from all members of the community done during events. To Be the Very Best‘s goal is to showcase the strength of the Pokémon community and the side of players you might not get to see during a tournament match or on stream.
To ensure a quality production, To Be the Very Best will be directed by Emmy award-winning Dan Karlok (Law and Order) with advising from Matt Weaver (Jiro: Dreams of Sushi, We’re the Millers, Rock of Ages). By using Kickstarter, the team hopes to harness the power of the community to create something that can give a boost to the competitive side of Pokémon the same way The Smash Brothers did for the competitive side of Super Smash Bros. Melee.
