Definitely more visually appealing than the regular series. Must be a single episode special or a TV series with an actual budget.

I'd even take a one cour show as long as it keeps that quality.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Blue/Green look great and Blastoise is amazing.

Red is slightly better now that he's wearing his hat properly.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

YES

 

[Bulzeeb]

this needs a caption asap

 

[Regulus Tera]

特別番組/tokubetsu bangumi/special TV program is what this is being labeled as.

Is it going to be like a one hour special then?

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[apana]

Here's the official upload: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lyi2RSVxqg
Looks pretty awesome.

Charizard looks kind of pregnant here.

 

[JB2448]

Looks like OLM, XEBEC, and Production I.G are producing the animation.

 

[LordGouda]

Charizard looks kind of pregnant here.

Female Charizard and breeding confirmed?

 

[War Raichu]

I hate that this is shaping up to be a one-off episode. It looks sooooo good.

 

[Trojita]

Amazing.

What did they do to Red though?

 

[-Horizon-]

I'd even take a one cour show as long as it keeps that quality.

That battle with Brock in the beginning. There is a skip to the Elite Four Battle with Lance. Then the Champion Battle with Green.
I will be surprised if this is a 30 minute special. Why speed through all the gym battles and Team Rocket battle in between? The Pokemon Company/Game Freak has a chance to ride on the hype that X & Y are making to make this succeed as a full series.

Edit: just saw the post about it being a special ._.

 

[khaaan]

Any crowd reaction vids?

 

[Shengar]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

why? it still great regardless and they might turned it into a series if its rating is high enough

 

[wmlk]

Amazing.

What did they do to Red though?

Nothing. This is just his updated design from FIreRed and LeafGreen.

 

[Acrylic7]

You just cant beat the original designs.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Yep, this is a OVA/special broadcast and not a new series.

 

[Regulus Tera]

It took them almost twenty years to get it going. I don't trust the fuckers at Pokemon Company.

AHHHH D:

If its one hour, at least it'll be better than a 30 minute anime speed run of the whole game.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

They are, I don't like the new abstract designs. I want them to look like animals. I stopped playing after Gold but maybe I will pick up the new one when I get a 3DS.

They do still look like animals. If you went through every single Gen I and Gen V design, the ratios of organic-to-unnatural-based Pokémon are almost identical. I personally like Gen V best due to the amount of creativity that went into the designs, but everyone likes different things and one generation's Pokémon aren't objectively better than another's.

Anyway, I hope that if this screenshot truly is from a Stadium-style game that they bring back the sweet minigames. I think I sunk more time into those suckers than the entirety of both Stadiums' battle modes.

I think it's clear that this is trying to aim for the kids who grew up with Pokemon Red and Blue. Get them interested in this new special out of nostalgia and then hope they become interested in X & Y.

The animation quality is too good for a standard show, too. It'll be a one hour special, probably.

 

[kittens]

Also, I thought Ash was Red? And then we fought him in Gold/Silver...?

I don't get this anime shit.

 

[RagnarokX]

The poor nostalgia-addled...

Pokemon hasn't changed being based on animals or non-animals.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Yep, this is a OVA/special broadcast and not a new series.

I'm going to bed now so please someone PM a mod to add that clarification to the OP if it is confirmed.

I wait for the official news what its goin to be. It just trailer so they mighy be just focused the most epic part. We have to remember that this air in October so there is still much time left.

 

[Jintor]

Wait.

No Pikachu?

 

[woen]

 

[dmr87]

Please, stahp..

Generation V is the best design wise. So many Pokemon with natural look and design, compared to what we have.in Generation IV.

 

[spindashing]

I don't get this anime shit.

You fought Red in Gold/Silver.

Red and Ash are two different characters. Ash doesn't exist in the game universe.

 

[Mariolee]

From the other thread:

It's a fake, sorry

Pokémon: The Origin is also confirmed as a special episode

Better be at least an hour if not movie length gatdang.

In fact have each mainline Pokemon be its own movie in the style of Origins. It could be like the Evangelion remakes, except GOOD.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Also, I thought Ash was Red? And then we fought him in Gold/Silver...?

I don't get this anime shit.

Ash is far too incompetent to be Red.

 

[foxuzamaki]

they seem to go for a visual design of red looking older the further he gets, he looks physically different when he was getting his pokeball from professor oak to when he was talking with lance

 

[The Silver]

Also, I thought Ash was Red? And then we fought him in Gold/Silver...?

I don't get this anime shit.

His name is Ash, how can he be Red?

 

[Boss Doggie]

The animation is lovely and the mons look good, but man the human faces are sooooooo badly drawn.

 

[Rubius]

isn't ash supposed to be red? blue looks exactly like Gary.

Nope. Red first Pokemon was a Poliwag,then he got a Pikachu, at least in the manga.

The manga was violent too, which was the good thing about it.

 

[nintendoman58]

Yep, this is a OVA/special broadcast and not a new series.

Dissapointing.



But not heartbreaking.

 

[everyday math]

Music in my veins please.

I want this out now.

 

[Femmeworth]

Looks like OLM, XEBEC, and Production I.G are producing the animation.

Production I.G.'s involvement confirms that it is not a series.

 

[Scott32020]

Haven't watched any anime in about 8 years (watched Pokemon, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh), so I'm unfamiliar with where I can see it.

Any clue what network it would air on in the United States/is there a delayed release after the Japanese release (for dubbing)?

 

[Shengar]

From the other thread:

Still great regardless despite the clarification. I hope it is one hour long.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah it's pretty much confirmed it's a special episode.

iirc Cartoon Network gets Pokemon

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

One hour's fine even if it's just a run through all the stand-out moments. That should mean no time for filler and plenty of room for consistently good animation—but I'm not allowing myself to expect that from OLM. If they start doing this for the other games, that'd be neat as well.

There's no details about that.

But if it was gonna show, it'd be on Cartoon Network and/or the Pokemon TV app.

 

[ColtraineGF]

 

[Regulus Tera]

manga Red is not video game Red either. For starters, the second one is a mute.

 

[Shengar]

Dissapointing.



But not heartbreaking.

First we have animated BW2 trailer, now we have special/ova episode of Generation I. We know what coming next, right?

 

[everyday math]

Charizard will always be my Fav.

 

[Darryl]

unrealistic expectations and shattered dreams

 

[Shengar]

unrealistic expectations and shattered dreams

Spoiler

yep that's right ;__;

 

[bon]

Nothing. This is just his updated design from FIreRed and LeafGreen.

Nah they messed up his face.

He looks like a background character from Haruhi or something.
