There was an animated Scooby-Doo movie that got scrapped called Scooby-Doo and the Anime Invasion by Tad Stones. Pan Pizza was able to get more info about the premise that the gang were going to fight evil robots inspired by Pokémon in a convention. On July 9, 2019, DC released Scooby-Doo Where Are You? issue #47 which had a similar premise (pic related). Here is the excerpt from the interview with Tad Stones mentioning the project.
>JS: What else have you been doing since The Disney Afternoon wrapped?
>TS: My last day at Disney was February 26, 2003. I did one small development project for them that didnt get too far. Then I did a direct-to-video Scooby-Doo script Scooby-Doo and the Anime Invasion. I think it needs a title change, because evidently kids loved the concept but moms werent sure about it. In the past I'd worked on parts of scripts, or storyboarded parts of my direct-to-videos. This was the first one that I sat down and top to bottom and wrote from blank page to final script. It was a lot of fun to work with those characters.
