POKÉTON! New Pokémon anime starring RED (!) from Pokémon Red/Blue [Up: Trailer]
- Thread starter Andrefpvs
- Start date
game Red isn't the same as manga red. Game Red is the best iteration of red.
Hes Red he has superior Charmander
This is SO out of the blue. O_O
I LOVE this!
Hum, the drawing quality seems at the same high than the Black2/White2 special... Could it be a special OVA released as an answer to the GREAT reception the B2/W2 special got? I'm pretty sure this will be this.
OMG I can't wait.
I can't wait to show this to my friends with which I'm currently watching the old anime together! O_O They will be flabbergasted!
Oh! One new thought: what if this is the first of a series of OVA to bring new fans to speed about all the history of pokemon games? As the new games have a lot of old pokemons, maybe they will use these to familiarize new fans to them.

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine.

Anyway, needless to say, I'm excited. Hope it's good.

Gotta agree with others that Red has a bad design.
Would still watch this.

Red's probably gonna be the same type of character as Ash, pretty much every manga version of Red is basically the same character type, the goofy, Shonen hero who achieves the impossible through the power of friendship.
The weird cult of personality developed around Red in the games is one of the weirdest things about the series to me, he's purposefully silent because he's basically you, so whenever people depict him as some hyper bad ass dude, it's kind of weird. Even more so the borderline sexualized fan-art and such.
I'm betting this series is gonna end up being disappointing beyond the fact that it's not starring Ash, and the only thing it'll probably have going for it is slightly better animation since it probably won't be a long series. Honestly the Pokemon look good (but I'm betting this quality will fluctuate a bit), but I think the character design looks off, especially Red, which doesn't look like any depiction really.

they are their anime counterparts, and this is an anime.
so basically this is just a reboot, that ends after defeating the elite four?
So much swag in that picture. So awesome finally someone that matures as story progresses.
That was uncalled for. What the heck is your problem?
Gundam can have different anime over the years. Why not Pokemon too? With that media chain and such, they can avoid those confusion that people kept said over the year.

Totally stoked for this. I haven't cared about the Pokémon series for years.

It's probably gonna be a pretty short (I bet it'll go at a rate like a Gym Battle every episode) series that straight-up adapts the rather simplistic plot of the original Red and Blue.

If it follows the games, we will see Red kicking all asses.

Will this be based off the manga?

No Ash and the art style's more generic which a lot of people view as a good thing.
Oh, let's not kid ourselves. NOSTALGIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Why does Red look so weird?

Me too. He pretty much was. I don't think the distinction came until later, honestly.
This is going to follow the plot of the games which the anime did not do at all outside of collect 8 badges and the fact that Team Rocket is a thing.

It no longer looks like Ash!
Why would anyone want to have a main character that looks like the main character in the original pokemon games?
... I... Didn't do it on purpose, I assure you! xD LOL
Because all who have played the original pokemon games were Red in a sense, we all became the best trainer and catch them all. This is like our biography, our lives.

It's really not that big of a deal, the original Red was a blank slate character.
Ash is an adaption of him, as is Special Red, despite sharing the same name. There's really no real "Red" to use.

The truth hurts. Let's not derail the thread and instead talk about how excellent this looks compared to the current Pokemon anime. Yeah, the characters are similar, but the new art style is a major improvement.
The real question: Is your Pokemon trainer in Pokemon Yellow Ash or Red?
It is Ash...Yellow was purposefully made to be more like the show
Kids would confuse Ash and Red if they went with the original artwork. No need to be so rude.

Awesome news. Hopefully this will be better than the Pokemon Chronicles thing they tried to do.
If you don't want to derail the thread then why be a dick about little things? Just sayin'
Anyways yeah, I'm hoping this becomes a series. It looks pretty promising.

I always love seeing the old "kids would get confused". Either I'm giving kids too much credit or you guys are severely underestimating the intelligence of kids these days...

Right. I guess that's what I mean. Clearly Red was the inception of Ash, but they branched off completely.
