Preview Pocket Monsters the series (2019)

[BigDocFan]

I'm hoping today's little preview won't be what we learnt the other day, I hope we'll get some proper anime footage

 

[techitisJ]

I'm hoping since we got those short shots of the backgrounds of Vermillion and the new Institue, that it might mean we are actually going to have some sort of trailer today, and those backgrounds were possibly capped stills from said trailer. I just want to see this anime in motion so badly.

 

[SerenaToAlola]

I'm not surprised by Kanto as the base, I am surprised however by the choice of Vermillion city. I wonder what's the significance of it.

Same here, based on what I've seen, the new series will be exciting so animated footage will be great

Someone pointed it out on reddit, I forgot, but Lt. Surge is the Gym Leader in Vermillion city. Any possibility we might see him and his Raichu? Hopefully he isn’t a jerk this time around.

I guess because it's a seaside city with access to several travel methods (airport, shipyard, magnet train .etc.)? I don't see any of those in Pallet Town and I refuse to believe they'll be using teleportation... that's extremely cheap.

 

[KenzeyEevee]

No matter what they show today, I just want more info on the plot.

 

[BigDocFan]

If I recall, Saffron is home to the Magnet train but it certainly has a shipyard

If Vermillion is featured, wonder if we'll see Diglett's cave

 

[Panky..]

As for tomorrow's anime related news... I don't expect anything substantial. At best they'll tell us more about Sakuragi and Koharu and nothing more.

Called it...

 

[RetroPokeFan]

I've come to make an announcement of an announcement of an announcement of an announcement of an announcement...

Anymore of this and this series might as well be Kingdom Hearts at this rate.

 

[marshiyanmisuta]

I'm sorry, but...What is so hard to understand that we've getting leaks of Sunday announcements few days ago? They don't announce anything new right now because we're already learning it by the leaks! Koharu and her father supposed to be today's announcement. It's ridiculous to criticize the lack of new info, when they literally just announced many important things like Koharu. And even then, after all that, we still got few new things like their voices! And I really doubt that most people here knew enough japanese to determine that nothing new announced about them.

 

[TheGoldenToon]

Can't wait for a translation. I want to get a better idea of their personalities are going to be.

 

[Tomboyish Mermaid]

I hope it is more than just nice girls and silly professor.

 

[Lucifer Angel]

Was anything new revealed or are they still toying with us?

Yeah.

The Sunday announcements are for japanese fans who watch the anime, but are not so involved in internet announcements.

Not to mention that even Japanese fans who already know the announcement won't loss anything, since they will likely still see the episode (there is announcement or not).

I'm thinking that this saga will be another SM where there's not much battling at all.

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

So looking carefully at the episodes for Sun and Moon, I realise that the new series is going to be a hybrid between a Continuation and Original Series, with the story focusing on Ash's continuing travels and having Original characters. Ash would return to Pallet Town after saying his goodbyes in SM146. If there is a SM147 on 10th November, then it'll be where Ash would get invitation to go to this new academy thing, paving the way for PM001 and PM002

I'm thinking that this saga will be another SM where there's not much battling at all.

The writers truly wanted to get away from Gen 1 - 6's formula and are trying something fresh and new to surprise us. Now where have I heard that formula before? Since SM was very popular in Japan (despite ratings), they want to keep it as that. And since it looks like it is a continuation, well, that makes perfect sense.

This new series is to promote the Franchise as a whole, not the game, to which I see is a terrible idea if not handled properly, since most of the time it'll be promoting Kanto.

Hang on, I just realised... The reason of the lack of Sword and Shield in the new anime is because SwSh is it's OWN anime within the game? I mean think about it? on the Japanese logo, it shares the same logo as the international version, whilst the past ones had their unique logos. This looks like they're trying to isolate this new game from the other 7 as one unique experience. A sort of uncanon spinoff or something.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

Can we just get a series trailer already?

 

[BigDocFan]

One thing I really hope we can see is more abilities being put to good use

They're a great help in the games yet they barely feature in the anime

This reminds me of that old meme from a Japanese show where a man was going to give a woman a credit card, only to scrunch it up and give us that famous happy glare.
