Misty & Brock Confirmed for Pokemon Sun & Moon Anime

"B-but little kids don't know them! They never bring back old characters because it will confuse little kids! Target audience doesn't care about them! My made up anime rules sez so!"

This is for only two episodes? Or could there be more?

It's listed for now as only two, but you never know what the future will bring!

 

[KenzeyEevee]

Friends of the past? Only Misty and Brock or more friends?

 

[MarshiyanMisutaa]

I know I will be hated but thank you 20th anniversary of the animé for ruining pretty much everything I love about the series.

Because of the art style? I agree that first picture looks weird (like a fan edit/recolour of Mao and Kaki) but the one at the bottom looks fine, for SM standards at least.

Extracurricular Classes. From Dephender:

lol at Brock being listed as "Satoshi's friend" and Misty as "a girl."

Where is @pokemon fan 132?!

 

[Hassel]

Cool! I hope Shigeru and Kenji get to appear too.

 

[Iteru]

Maybe later down the line we'll get field trips to other regions too? : D

Johto please!! Best region, would love to see the return of Lance.

I wonder if they would dip into his reserves this early, considering that this takes place at oaks lab. I also wonder if this really is a cashgrab ir a hint to Kanto in USUM. This reminds me of the Cyndaquil and mini johto thing in DP when HGSS were coming out.

 

[KyseL]

Now I wonder if it's gonna be just Ash in Kanto or all the kids + Kukui. I really want them visiting Kanto too and maybe hear stories from the good ol' days and stuff. I especially want Suiren to interact with Misty tbh (I know I'm mixing the japanese and English names, sorry).

[Defiant]

Will these be regular episodes with SM numbering or are they specials like the iris and cilan ones that the dub skipped?

Regulars, the episodes airing 14th/21st.

Japanese Version: Excited, this is great that SM is being so unpredictable.

Inevitable English Dub Version: Depressed, RIP Rachael Lillis' Misty and Eric Stuart's Brock, 1998-2006, Knotz & Rogers will never live up to you in my book.

 

[Powerstars]

I've been waiting like literally ten years for Misty to appear again.

 

[Neo Blaze]

Since they're in Pallet Town I hope we see Tracey again too. Though I would understand if they want to put the focus on the original trio.

 

[Defiant]

I think it's especially interesting that it's Ash going to Kanto rather than Misty and Brock coming to Alola.

What could be the significance if any? And why is Ash going to Kanto in the first place?

 

[Likeitornot.]

I'm - shocked! Sun and Moon certainly knows how to throw in a curve-ball, the series that was acting so loose about its own continuity that people had theories about it being in another universe and now it does this!

Well, this will be interesting. I wonder why though the two have their original outfits on as opposed to the outfits we saw them wearing last (recognisability?) - still, it's quite nice to see them in the original outfits, so I don't mind.

Pokemon has been and always will be targeted for kids. I don't know how you can be mad at that

If you didn't like sun and moon anime to begin than no point really to be upset about artstyle. If you didn't give it a chance

There still 253 episodes with original art style. 2 episodes with different art style isn't gonna hurt anyone
