Didn't I see that this was going to be a weekly series? Perhaps a short one, but I'm really hoping this isn't a one-off. Maybe if it's successful they'll make more like it.
And hopefully the US won't be kept waiting too long...

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
It looks like this is gonna mainly be:
* Red receives Starter
* Red fights Brock
- Long montage of in-between stuff if we're lucky -
* Red fights Lance
* Red fights Blue
END.

Red has a Charizard so that rules out the manga.

Holy shit. I can't wait.
Actually, I hope they DON'T mirror what's done in the manga. Everyone's a bad guy...
Spoilers in manga, I guess
More than half of the Kanto gym leaders are Team Rocket members or they once were.

Will absolutely watch....but Red is supposed to be a badass. Left home without even fucking talking to his mother, and didn't pack shit.

In the handheld games (Excluding the most recent Black 2 and White 2), he has 4 teams with more Flying-type Pokemon than Dragon-type Pokemon, and 4 teams with equal Flying to Dragon-type ratio. He's more of a Flying trainer than Dragon one. =P

In order to get the attention of people who were kids when Red, Green, and Blue came out (through nostalgia) in hopes that they will become interested in the series again (with X & Y being the first 3D mainline game - this was basically any kid's dream in the late 90s/early 2000s)

Watch it end with The Zard and Blastoise Mega Evolving in their climactic showdown ;P

4Kids hasn't done anything Pokemon related in a long time. It's all done in-house now, I think.

Well, 4Kids is defunct for one. Pokemon is currently dubbed in-house by the Pokemon company, and it's a serviceable translation outside of replacing around half of the background music with Americanized bullshit. The TV specials and movies and such are usually handled better, so I'm hoping this will be too.
?
This is only a special.
And the main Anime is continuing like usual.
Ash still lame as usual with open mouth smile of his.
Will just hit the special, and never look up for any Pokemon anime again until they done another special.
He's definitely a dragon trainer. He has many Dragonite (Flying/Dragon, his favorite) and Dragon-like Pokemon such as Charizard, Aerodactyl or Gyarados. They look like Dragons, can fly like Dragons, but already have 2 types...they could be Fire/Dragon, Rock/Dragon or Water/Dragon.

What the hell is that? A 3D MMORPG Pokemon game for Wii-U?What about this?

Lol. That's never happening.
Well, it's a franchise thing. In X/Y, we have the mainline games' first transition to 3D, along with many other exciting changes. In Origin, we have an incredibly nostalgia rich adaptation of the original games. They're independently great choices for the franchise as a whole, but excitement for one also reinforces excitement for the other.
Isn't Pokemon Company have stated that they never gonna do a Pokemon MMO?
Id ont' want it either, all people will have Garchomps in their team for quick win.

You didn't get the joke
Actually seems like fan reaction to new Ash is positive because he looks better than before (probably due to skinny pants).
Also that's not his BW jacket.
And people make a big deal about his OG cap when the episode itself doesn't really give much about it other than "him winning it for a Pokemon League".

But... but... it would sell billions of Wii-U.
3D on console + the type of adventures the anime gets, for instance sidequests to help people, not just Red with small changes.
?
It's still a very interesting announcement even if it's just a special. Judging by the classic story and characters it's easy to assume that the show aims for the nostalgia of classic Pokémon fans, which is quite a thing considering the anime always had pre-teens in mind. So, this could very well be an experiment to see whether or not it's viable to have a Pokémon show for an older audience. Who knows, maybe there'll be indeed a second series alongside Ash's journey if the special turns out to be a success.

YES! I've wanted a new Pokemon TV show ever since the voices in the current one changed. So happy.
It's just an episode

It's just a special. Don't get your hopes up for it to be its own show
