Pokémon Sword and Shield anime speculation thread

[RetroPokeFan]

Only 2 more days until details about the new anime, "Pocket Monster", are revealed!

There will be an announcement at 6PM, on September 29th, during Sun & Moon's broadcast (on TV Tokyo).

It will take place in every region... Wait, what does that mean!? What will happen to Ash and Pikachu!? It really makes you think, huh?

Please, look forward to it

Not long to go now. It's interesting that they're mentioning Ash and Pikachu... maybe something bigger might be happening to them.

If anything, it implies something will happen to Ash and Pikachu lol.

Like a Champions Tornament being held worldwide, or Ash returning to recompete in the past Conferences.

Super excited for the reveal, will it take place just before or after SM141 airs?

I'm assuming after but thought I would double check

Why shorts in galar? Why???

The more kiddier artstyle here makes me think that this saga's tone is exactly like SM, if this is real.

Please tell me that's a Tomboy, because I'm so going to hate this new series.

I don't think that they would not have a female on the main cast, ever.

Love Ash's new design if this true.

 

[RileyXY1]

And, this new companion looks like an anime-original character, which makes me worry that this really is M20/M21 Ash.

Who is willing to bet this new character is either a gym leader or important character in the games?

Also it's a girl!!!! Not a boy look at the hair clip

 

[KenzeyEevee]

Honestly? I could live with it. But who is that other person?

Even so, it's still worth the watch.

I wouldn't be surprised if the new girl is anime exclusive.

 

[RileyXY1]

If this is real, looks like Scorbunny is off the table for Ash.

She is anime exclusive. Seems like they're trying a new and refreshing approach with this new one.

Seems like the female trainer's companion is Scorbunny, whilst Ash would probably get Grookey and Sobble.

Well... The artist who worked on SM did say on twitter that the new series will be hard to get used to.

 

[badwolf1234]

Only anime exclusive companion of ash was tracy and even him made it to one of the spin-off games. Alot also said Iris could be an anime original character when her anime sketch was first leaked cause hilda's design was much favored by fans back then. Look what iris ended up. So I wouldn't be surprised if this new "person" would be an npc in the game. Definitely not a gym leader material but might be something else

This unknown girl could be a Gym Leader that we don't know about. She might even be Opal.

I don't think he has any of the starters.

 

[RileyXY1]

I highly doubt that they would not give Ash a starter.
