I think it was "Once again, I have cut through a worthless object!"

Eh, I'll watch this special just to see if it gives us any glimpses of characters we can expect to see in this series.

I want to see any clips from the new series really.

 

[RetroPokeFan]

If someone has watched this, can you tell me what happened during this special? I'm not at home at the moment and I doubt it'll air anywhere later for me to replay it all.

Mostly showed off old clips from the first episode (though weirdly not the HD version for some reason) and clips of Ash's past companions and Pokémon team members on Part A and clips from upcoming episodes on Part B.

The special has been uploaded to YouTube here:

[RetroPokeFan]

Can you elaborate please? And you mentioned clips for the upcoming episodes, how's the animation quality? Any battles, if yes, then does it use action lines or stock backgrounds like SM?

Most of the clips featured Ash and Oak driving off, the introduction of the new professor, Lugia being awakened while Gou watches with some quick battle scenes (pretty damn slick looking with smears a plenty), Ash and Gou getting onto Lugia (with comical faces to boot), them fighting over what bed they get, Ash and Go meeting Koharu and Ash snuggling Yamper (in a similar vein to Zeraora with him getting electrocuted), Team Rocket's motto, Scorbunny showing himself off while Yamper and Pikachu snuggle together leaving him comically frustrated and Pikachu's new Thunderbolt animation (which is pretty kick ass lookin).

There's definitely a lot of comical faces as well which I do worry that again they'll go too overboard with it.

Animation quality is looking pretty decent for the first few episodes and it's also been confirmed that Junichi Masuda is doing the ending theme too.

 

[Panky..]

Alright, I watched the entire special (YouTube's translation captions were strange though) and I have to say I'm hyped.

I'm really glad they showed the past journeys, companions and Pokemon... that only adds to the fact that we will see them again in the future despite what some people against it say otherwise. If the past characters were not going to return then they had no reason to showcase that segment.
The animation and artstyle is looking slick and superb, the usage of pure 3D camera and lack of stock backgrounds or action lines (that for some reason SM decided to re-adopt when XY dropped them) ensures that this series has some of the best battle action. Here's hoping they keep this level of animation up instead of faltering like SM did.
As for the story, there's not much I can judge yet due to lack of information regarding how Ash will pursue his goal... so the only thing of interest to me there was the SS001 preview.

 

[KenzeyEevee]

I bet the just showed the old companions to show the starter pokemon

 

[ii kanji]

Not to be a massive hypocrite and liar, but I think I can live with stock motto animation in which Kojiro romantically dips Musashi for no good reason.

I've understood that the "Road to Kalos" special also shown segments of all the past companions.

I wouldn't say old companions returning was a thing in XY, right?

Unless you count Cilan but that was waaaay after the actual series itself had ended.

True, but remember, XY was set entirely and Kalos and it was somewhat farfetched to think some past companions would show up back then and there.

On the other had, in SM they went out of their way to have Misty and Brock appear in those two segments which means they're willing to experiment around with past characters (and it worked positively). This new series is set in all the regions, and judging by the episodic structure, it would mean that they can go to almost any place at any time. It would be stupid of them to try hard and avoid past characters in this series.

My only point is that the segments of old companions in this special are not proof of anything.

Old companions may appear. Maybe not. We will see.
