Kanto/Johto Sequels

[PkmnTrainerV]

I actually know many who are still playing it, they're mostly in their thirties or above lol. I still see many older folks playing it when I take public transport.

Most people I know who played it have moved on, and my (weak) Pokémon managed to stay in a gym for 3 days...

Does anyone think that the reason why Brock and Misty was removed from this month's movie, is because they are getting redesigns for an upcoming game and they don't want to spoil the surprise?

I figured they didn't reintroduce them into the movies, so that they could send Ash off on a new journey. Also, I personally believe the movie takes place in a universe where gym leaders don't abandon their responsibilities to go off on adventures.

A few things.
1.Erica has her FRLG design so it's not in Kanto's future.
2.Brock and Misty were replaced because supposedly the director wanted to showcase Piplup and Lucario ( he's obsessed with them).
3. The movie so far has been a smash hit and has managed to pull in a lot late 20- 30 year olds that haven't seen a Pokemon movie in years.
4. Finally the teaser for the next movie showed a futuristic setting that clearly isn't Alola.
The potential of Kanto sequels is there without a doubt.

 

[PurplePopplio]

So this could be the first generation without a movie being set in its region. Unless we receive Kanto sequels in 2018 and 2019's movie is set in Alola with a Gen VIII Pokémon also starring in that film.

1,2,3 are right but 4 is completely wrong, please do not spread misinformation.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

Could someone please link me to a movie teaser for M21 (if it was indeed there at M20's end)? Google searches don't yield anything on the topic.

I don't think it is available and it probably won't be for a while.

I'm just saying what I saw. The teaser showed some advanced Dome.
It might not mean much or maybe I missed something but that's what happened.

Dephender said that dome in the background of the teaser was from the 20th movie, so it doesn't really mean anything.

Ah my apologies then.
Edit: that's what they showed in the teaser be it place holder or not.

Looks like Shigeru Ohmori is interested in Lillie Story, so maybe there's a chance with Kanto/Johto Sequel, he's not going to discuss the future though:
El director de Pokémon Sol y Luna habla sobre las teorías de Lillie en Kanto

 

[GiraFragMich]

I would love that. I'd like to see a sequel that takes place several years after Lillie was in Kanto. That paves the way for regional variants showing up in Kanto and makes the Pokedex more varied. I also can't wait to explore a grid-less Kanto!!

I dunno... I still feel like these two generations, especially Gen I, have had their time in the sun and should step aside for the newer ones. I'd personally feel borderline betrayed by this franchise if we get even more Kanto instead of that remastered Sinnoh. The big 20th anniversary is over.

Besides the Virtual Console releases, we haven't seen Kanto in 8 years. And that was a really watered down Kanto.
The Pokémon may have been receiving attention, but the region has not.

Besides the Virtual Console releases, we haven't seen Kanto in 11 years. And that was a really watered down Kanto.

HGSS released 8 years ago.

FRLG released 13 years ago.

Don't get me wrong, I still think we should get Kanto/Johto sequels. They'd be a good move for the franchise right now. Just wanted to correct that claim.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

And the Pokemon mostly represent the region. So, we've got Kanto attention. Iirc, Alolan forms are actually made to stimulate the people from the Gen 1 era, so Alolan forms are a valid example of Kanto "pandering".

Still hoping that we get Kanto regional forms for Alola Pokemon in potential Kanto/Johto sequels

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

If the Johto starters don't get anything.... these will be the worst games ever and prove that Kanto Pandering is indeed a thing, imo. And I'd prefer Megas for them over Z-Moves.

Fixed it. Thanks for the correction.
