I hope they make a sequel covering the Johto and then Hoenn games. They can even advertise more Mega forms through it, as there's a Mega Houndoom and Tyranitar...and then Mega Blaziken for Hoenn.

Looks cool. I'd rather watch it in English than Japanese.

I have an extremely minor complaint with this. It's very minor.

I wish Red would wear his original clothes, instead of his firered/leafgreen clothes.

There we go. I said it was minor

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 10-26-2013, 08:05 AM

Is there any news on the English dub voice cast yet? I hope they don't choose someone annoying for Red.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 11-15-2013, 04:21 PM

Just watched the first episode of the English dub a couple of minutes ago.

Overall, I enjoyed it. I liked Red's character, and I thought how naive he was, was more enjoyable to watch than Ash's start. I thought blue was better than Gary.

I look forward to more.

I'm watch the English dub right now. So far, I really do like Red, and I'm pretty happy with the voice actor they chose for him. Looking forward to seeing more.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 11-18-2013, 04:39 PM

Another great episode. It's a bit more laid back and relaxed than episode 1. I'm really liking Red as a character more than Ash. The animation's great and the pacing is better than I thought it would be. Looking forward to episode 3.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 11-20-2013, 04:27 PM

Just watched episode 3. You can tell at this point red has become an extremely confident and skilful trainer.

Last episode next!

I haven't been this excited for anything Pokémon related in a long time!

It's set to premiere on October 2, 2013 in Japan on TVTokyo. So far there's been no word yet on an English release date.

Why oh why wasn't it done like this in the first place? Honestly, I like the games but can't stand the show.

Well, now you can enjoy it online.

*The Stryker* · 11-22-2013, 02:40 PM

This thing is not very good. Not even close.

It feels completely rushed and jumbled and the stuff they chose to skip over or dwell on is mind-boggling. Did we really need an entire episode about Lavender Town and it's boring Cubone story?

There's almost nothing in the way of actually capturing and training Pokemon. Kinda lame all around.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 11-22-2013, 04:04 PM

Just watched the last episode. Overall, this episode was good. I wish we saw the whole of the red vs blue battle, like we got with Brock and giovanni.

I really did like the mewtwo battle. I didn't like how they shoehorned mega charizard into this.

Overall, pokemon origins was great. A really good tribute to pokemon red and blue.

Agreed.

Just finished up watching the last episode, and I really enjoyed it. Charizard Vs. Mewtwo was awesome.

Also:
- I really like how unlike the anime series, Pokémon here don't repeat their names over and over everytime they speak. They actually made animal noises, which make much more sense and is more realistic, IMO.

-The fight scenes in this miniseries were so intense, I loved it! This is how Pokémon battles should look like.

- Red was seriously awesome in this miniseries and I thought he was portrayed very well, along with the other characters.

-I do agree that Mega-Charizard did seem pretty unnecessary. And it did feel a bit rush at times...

Overall, I give this miniseries an 9.2/10. Now if only we could get an anime series based on the Pokémon Adventures manga...

I enjoyed it, it was very fun and I'd love to see this done for other regions, we'll see, it'd need to be an anniversary. It's easy to justify a movie of Gen 1 because it's the first one, the others it'll be more difficult. The Mega-Evolution didn't bother me that much, especially since it probably helped to get this movie made. It's not like it affected the plot of the movie except for the final 10 minutes and no the movie wasn't made just to advertise the new games, but it was a way to sneak it in, it really was a "love letter" to fans of Gen 1. With that said, I wasn't a fan of the art style, at times it looked too different from Sugimoris artwork, I understand they wanted it to look different from the main anime but it looked ugly at times. Some of the battles were great, however I'd say for example the Gary vs Ash was more interesting in Johto than this Red VS Green fight and still the battle that was made for Black/White still seems to be my favorite representation so far. I didn't like the dub voices too much, I actually wish they had gotten some of the original VAs of Season 1, I know it's an unpopular opinion and the whole internet bitches about how Ash is not Red but whatever. I didn't think it was too rushed, I mean it was a movie obviusoly it would need to go through things fast. I actually didn't mind the Lavender episode since it helped with character development more than say seeing a slightly longer montage of the gym battles.

Yes, considering just how much Team Rocket rovolves around that story - it easily shows what Team Rocket is all about

Ok, the same Team Rocket that barely impacts the plot of the thing? Floating in and out with no rhyme or reason and had all of their important story beats told in the sh*tty 'Oh yeah, that happened' montages?
