Preview Pocket Monsters the series (2019)

[BigDocFan]

I'm curious to see how Mareanie might react to James when they visit Alola again, no doubt following Ash and Gou

 

[SammyW27]

I wonder if the first two episodes will air as sneak peak previews in the dub, like they did with the first two episodes of XY and SM.

Oh, it's all but guaranteed

 

[kantoskies]

If they do it, it will almost definitely have no dub music, giving us yet another tease of a somewhat-competent dub.

The last time that Pokemon appeared on the cover of Animedia, one of the biggest anime magazines in Japan, was in 1997.

The left cover looks like they took stock character art and put a Christmas overlay on it (I've seen that Pikachu pose before).
The right cover seems to at least have art commissioned for the magazine.

What if this travelling the world thing resulted in the invention of new anime specific regions like the Orange Islands?...

 

[BigDocFan]

I can't help but wonder if the Lugia featured this series is the same as Johto

 

[KenzeyEevee]

I am actually glad that they don't focus on Galar alone in the animé

The Pokemon anime will be ushering in a new era in just a couple of weeks, but with all of the new additions to the anime franchise comes some familiar territory. With Ash and Pikachu set to kick off the next phase of their journey back where it all began, it seems the anime will be diving into more of Pikachu's story before it ever met Ash. Not only has the newest trailer for the series teased that we'll be getting a glimpse into Pikachu's origin story, the title of the first new episode confirmed this further.

The first episode of the new Pokemon anime is titled "Birth of Pikachu" and the new synopsis (as reported by Crunchyroll) for the anime's very first episode reads as such, "In a forest somewhere in Kanto, there once was a lonely Pichu. This Pichu – who was still quite young – had a certain encounter and farewell. This took place shortly before Ash and his partner Pikachu started travelling together. This is the beginning of the anime 'Pocket Monster.'”

This newest phase of the Pokemon anime will be rebooting things a bit. Not only has the series returned to the base title of "Pocket Monster," but the synopsis teases that we'll get a new look at Pikachu before it became Ash's partner. The most notable thing about this synopsis, however, is the "certain encounter and farewell" teased that might explain why Pikachu was initially so against being with Ash.

It might have had a rough farewell with whatever fated encounter it had in the wild before being trapped in a ball in Professor Oak's lab. Fans might get to see why Pikachu was so adamantly against being inside Poke Balls and being dragged around by Ash at the beginning of the series. But it won't only be his story.

Pokemon: The Series is currently scheduled to premiere November 17th in Japan. One of the biggest changes for this new series is the second protagonist, Gou, voiced by Daiki Yamashita. He and Ash will go on their journeys together, and soon we'll all find out what this next era of the Pokemon anime has in store for old and new fans.

Additional cast members include Yuichi Nakamura as Professor Sakuragi, Kana Hanazawa as Koharu, Megumi Hayashibara as Jessie, Shinichiro Miki as James, and Inuko Inuyama as Meowth. Staff confirmed for the new series include Daiki Tomiyasu serving as chief director for OLM, Maki Odaira as series director, Kunihiko Yuyama as creative supervisor, Shoji Yonemura overseeing series construction, Shuhei Yasuda serving as character designer, Masafumi Mima as sound director, Yuki Hayashi as series composer.

Is that anything special we didn't already knew?

 

[Panky..]

Anyone copy pasting "synopses" that they read about online is pretty much making clickbait articles/videos, especially if it contains ignorant pieces of information (like that reboot line). It proves they didn't watch the current series, especially SM145 and SM146.

I can't help but wonder if the Lugia featured this series is the same as Johto

That's funny, I was just wondering if it was the same one from Pokemon 2000. The synopsis basically says that Lugia just randomly shows up in town to everyone's surprise, so what could be the reason for him to just randomly give Ash and Gou a ride? Are they old friends? It's probably reading too much into it, but all the movie legendaries on the poster could mean getting references to older movies like this. But since Jhoto proved that there were more Lugia in the sea, it could be the other Lugia Ash met or just another random Lugia.

Still by the way the summary says Lugia just appears, I don't think it belongs to Sakuragi. And if not, I can't fathom a reason why Lugia would hang around them and serve as a glorified ride Pokemon. Hopefully he just gives them a quick ride and then leaves. It would be odd if he is flying them to another region at this point because that would mean we wouldn't even get a full episode of setup at Saguragi lab (home-base) before they head out, which I think would be quite rushed. And ultimately, if they are casually interacting with a legendary Pokemon like this it will be very hard to be impressed with Mew and will undermine their journey in a way. Legendary Pokemon should be used conservatively.

Is that Ash's Charizard battling against a Blastoise? And who's Blastoise's trainer? It doesn't really look like Gary

 

[Daren]

I don't think that's Ash with Charizard--I believe Charizard's trainer seems to be wearing long white pants instead of Ash's blue shorts.

 

[BigDocFan]

Would be nice to see Gary return and battle Ash

 

[RetroPokeFan]

It's probably just two random people with no relation to Ash or Gary, possibly one of the few opening shots for the series.

 

[Silktree]

I bet it's a replacement for Blastoise vs. Venusaur from Movie 20, which was in turn a replacement for Gengar vs. Nidorino. This time the trainers appear to be random.

 

[RileyXY1]

I'm not expecting a lot of continuity and references to the old series.

I'm not expecting a lot of continuity and references to the old series.

As a series where Ash is going to revisit the regions he's already been to before, callbacks are almost guaranteed to happen IMO.

They don't have to, especially considering it would confuse younger fans and require them to bingewatch past episodes in order to understand what's going on. I don't see them ever doing that.
