Pokemon Generations
 

this show looks on point!

Hopefully, we will get the protagonists: Gold, Ruby, Diamond, Black, and X; and it won't be just Red in each situation.

Meanwhile, Ash is apparently going to school in the Sun and Moon anime

Looks like a spiritual sequel to Origins.

I'm in. :D

These are only 3-5 minute shorts though. Origins had 4 full 22 minute episodes.

I hope we'll have an option for Japanese audio with English subs.

Congratulations on stating the obvious, genius.

Pocketmonsters will be available

You made a comment saying its the spiritual sequel to Origins. It isn't. These are more in like with the shorts they made for BW2 and ORAS before they came out.

I wish they would have had more Mystery Dungeon episodes. The one where theres no humans and the guy gets turned into a Pokemon. That was cute. I have one of those games.

I lost track of the cartoon. Sometimes Ill watch a random episode which are ok. Kinda hard to get back into it.

It's a sequel to Origins, you can see the character art is similar, the length of all the shorts is basically the length of the origins movie and even the Pokemon youtube page is uploading the Origins episodes leading up to the premier of the shorts. I wonder if we'll get more of these or if they'll only ever do them when a new Gen is going to be released, last time it was for XY and now for SM.

As far as the new season of the Pokemon anime, I'm not a huge fan of the art style but at least they're trying something new so let's see. The ratings haven't been great and this new generation is different so why not try something new?

First 2 episodes are now available:

Sadly it isn't origins verse as this red had a bulbasaur here

Both of these shorts were pretty awesome! This and Origins feel like tests to try and get another anime out that's closer to the games than the current one. It's a cool idea because you would have two different shows airing that may appeal to fans with different preferences; one that's light-hearted and the other being a little more grounded. Like how Sonic did this with AoStH and Satam.

Episode 3: In which Blue does stuff and Bruno shows off his abs.... :o

At only 3-4 minutes long these shorts are pretty boring, they can't really show much of anything and they skip over all the battles. I'm not sure what the point was.

Origins at least had full 22 minute episodes.

Lance has one bad arse Dragonite!

So far I'm liking them all.

Origins skipped a bunch of stuff and most episodes were a waste that had nothing to do with the game. I much prefer these shorts that tell a cool event and don't stretch it out.

Episode 05: In which the good Detective hangs out with Giovanni's son for a bit.



Episode 06: Time for backstory on the burnt out tower. Kinda sad.... And nope. The legendaries aren't former Evee's.

We've known Giovanni had a son for years, it was in the Celebi even for Heart Gold and Soul Silver and it was in the Pokemon manga.

Never played those games and I've never read the Manga. I lost interest with Pokemon for many years and didn't get back into it till X/Y.

Pokemon Special manga is pretty good.

I love these shorts so much! :D:D:D:D:D

Courtney is like totally creepy. Also, Camerupt is supposed to be based on a camel yet it neighs like a horse.

my yandere can't be this cute.

i want this to be a full series!

Remember when everyone theorised Ash was Gionvanni's kid? I think the American adaptation wanted to go that route but were blocked from going further with it

I enjoyed the short with Primal Groudon. I would love to see a Mewtwo short, especially one with Mega Mewtwo X, as he hasn't even appeared in the anime yet.

There's a hole episode of Mega Mewtwo X in Pokemon Origins done in the style of Generations which is basically its sequel.

That was only speculation by kids on the internet and which was also used in the live stage show but there's no evidence that the American adaptation was going that route or The Pokemon Company even knew this was a thing here.

We all do my friend, we all do.

Holy crap!!! :o

Episode 9: Epic Space Battle!



Episode 10: Hello Nightmare fuel! :o

The Cheryl ghost episode was almost too creepy for pokemon. I'm surprised that got approved. Kids will get nightmares.

Looks like something from some fetish anime.

That is pretty tame to most of the creepy stuff in the pokemon franchise

hell, we were just introduced to a girl in Sun and Moon, she wanted to introduce us to her boyfriend...whom was a Machamp.

As Im not familiar with this Gen I have absolutly no bloody clue WTF is going on in this episode....

Team Galactic wanted to create a new universe. Dialga/Palkia are the masters of time and space, and Arceus is the God of Pokemon.

Cynthia is also the most popular champion of the series.

That was epic!

Also, I've noticed a pattern in these episodes, that they are progressing from the order of the generations, starting with kanto and now in sinnoh, so I guess the next few will be another sinnoh legend or a unova short.

Too bad this isn't Gen I stuff. :-P

I'm glad it isn't just Kanto pandering. Pokemon has 20 years of history, no reason to focus on Gen 1 over and over.
