If they don't have the protagonists crossing over, I swear...

Small but exciting. Hope more comes out of it.

Covering multiple generations in only 18 3-5 minute episodes, fail.

So much content will be skipped.

Why not do like Monster Strike and do it weekly for a long time.


There it's an apparent misunderstanding here.

These are not meant to tell each Gen history, just epic or skipped parts, for example, Green vs Lance fight we never got to see or the encounter with the Shiny Gyarados, this is not a full-fledged Anime.

This is the first time in years I've been legitimately excited about the Pokemon anime. I will definitely check this out.

PokeCo once again teasing its adult fanbase with the promise of a real anime adaptation of the games/loose take on Pokemon Special

Honestly though I'd watch a series just about that SWAT looking force with the machamp and arcanine

So instead of making 12-13 episodes of a single story of a single generation let's take the Pokemon Origin Story and condense it down even more. Come on put some effort into it. No one says you have to abandon the main series (obviously your money maker) but do something more substantial than this. If you are gonna harp on nostalgia at least do it well.

So basically I will need to read the manga(pocket monsters) and play the videogames to get the full story.


The games don't have much story, and there are dozens of different manga that do their own spin on things so none of them would matter for these shorts. 5 minute shorts highlighting key events seem appropiate given the simplicity of the games. Otherwise, it would just be a copy of the main anime if they created their own take on the game's journey, and you don't really need 2 of the same thing.

Hmmm,

maybe so; but that's just me and I will leave it at that.

All I care about is the highlights of N's and AZ's stories being animated. Thats more then enough for me to watch.

Considering this only happened with GSC and wasn't important to the story don't know why you're threatening to lose your shit.

Personally, if it's nostalgia bait, it'll only cover Generation I.

Damn only three to five minutes long each, well there goes my hopes for a full Pokémon Anime series that's based on the games. Sad

They are probably going to be done in the same way as those anime trailers for the videogames like what B2W2 and ORAS got.

Pity they could not just put this effort into another mini series like Origins and focus on GS, but I guess it'll have to do....

Was kind of excited (kind of), until I saw it was all Red. Red this, Red that. I'm so tired of him. He has nothing to do with games outside of Kanto and Johto.

Your point???

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were a troll. Confused

Take that noise somewhere else.
