G.Cis: Commander of Team Plasma, an evil organisation seeking conquest of the Isshu Region. Searching for N.
Achroma: A researcher at Team Plasma. Currently aiming to complete a Machine to Control Pokemon, and is undertaking experiments on Pokemon.

IKR? I saw the green hair and was like "Woooooaaahhhh!"
I was about to post that...
This is great for the fangirls. XD

I don't know what's going on, but I'm excited.

 

[Musashi]

Well, looks like we know what the last arc before Gen 6 is.
@sunyshore; I missed part of it, so are you sure it's "Episode N" and not a title change?

Also, Dogasu says the text under the title is "The Embargo on the Shocking News Has Been Lifted".

 

[Chiss]

I hope N's the new main character. It's about time Ash gets booted.

i am sure. i've posted a pic.
and yes, it does say shocking information that can now be revealed.

tv tokyo had the trailer for next week on its youtube, and then it went private. maybe this will be up soon, but it was very short.

 

[Masurao]

Well, holy shit.

Okay thanks, I get it now. Didn't realize they spelled episode that way in katakana.

 

[Joshawott]

Yes! I was considering dropping Best Wishes, so this is awesome news.

 

[JB2448]

Please, please, please don't screw this up, writers.


Please.

 

[Araragi-hakase]

I honestly just have no idea what to think right now...

I'm really excited for Team Plasma stuff...but...how in the world are they going to handle this plot? Are they going to give N an anime exclusive plot, or somehow base it off the one he had in the games more? It seems a bit late to do that though. Fucking N, man.

 

[sunyshore]

we will get more info with december 6th's episode, so keep your eyes peeled!

[Silktree]

This seems like a TV special akin to Mewtwo Returns and The Legend of Raikou. Isn't the animation reminiscent of the B2W2 animated trailer?

 

[Dogasu]

The text on the official site says that this is the "start of a new chapter." So no, it's not a one-off special.

This is the perfect time to let us know what's going on after the league though. It makes more sense that this is what the final few months of BW will be about.

Also, what Dogasu said. XD

 

[Crysta Blade]

One one hand, they sure took their sweet time, but on the other hand, yes, yes, yes! It's been kinda like the elephant in the room, y'know? Then again, they need something to do until the next set of main series games.

[Hidden Mew]

I just heard about this and I couldn't help but feel so excited over the prospect of seeing N in the anime, despite trying to go to sleep before reading this news. He is one of my favorite Pokemon characters, so I'm so happy to see him appearing in the anime. I really hope that they don't significantly change his personality like with Bianca though. I'm also quite curious how they're going to handle this. It would be kind of difficult to cover the events of either Team Plasma storyline at this point, but the anime will probably handle it differently to try and make it work. I'm just hoping that N still comes off as awesome as he does in the video games.

 

[Musashi]

This is really a first for the anime. The show gets not one, but two title changes.

Trying to copy the dub?

 

[Moe]

Didn't see that coming - I really hope this means the league is interrupted by Team Plasma - the best possible way of stopping Ash from winning.

The most important thing will be where they pick N's plot up from - if he's the B2W2 N, then he should pretty much agree with Ash, be interested in Iris' ability to connect with Pokemon and trade hair styling tips with Cilan. I can't really see how you build an arc off that side of things - Ash trying to convince him his Pokemon want to be with him?

Hopefully this means we see Reshiram.
