The Pokemon Episodes No Studio Made: Seedance 2.0's Takeover of Bilibili
Blog post from Atlas Cloud
In early 2026, a trend emerged involving AI-generated fan-made videos using ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 model to recreate, extend, or remix the Pokémon anime, initially sparked by early access granted to Chinese creators through the Jimeng app. The trend gained traction on platforms like Bilibili, YouTube, and Instagram, with creators producing everything from short clips to full episodes, despite none of the content being officially licensed. The viral success of these videos, which closely resemble original anime, is partly attributed to Bilibili's strong AI Creation Competition community and the platform's early-stage support. However, the use of unlicensed intellectual property has attracted legal attention from companies like Disney and warnings from Japanese authorities, while Nintendo maintains a stance of enforcing IP rights irrespective of AI involvement. The cost of rendering these clips on platforms like Atlas Cloud is relatively low, making it accessible for hobbyists, though ByteDance faces pressure to tighten safeguards against unauthorized IP use in response to industry backlash.
