Pokémon Sword and Shield anime speculation thread

The anime's theme could go the route of a medieval balled style similar to ''The Adventures of the Gummi Bears''

Probably a long shot but anyone here think Lillie will travel with Ash to Galar and have a proper mission to become a trainer

Unfortunately no, because at the end of Sun and Moon she went to Kanto.

True but the anime could do something different

They’ll have to promote the new stuff, so I don’t think so.

You had to bring up one of my top 3 favorite Disney Cartoons.

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

Pokemon Animation 1 (Gen 1-Gen 2)
Pokemon Animation 2 (Gen 2-Gen 6)
Pokemon Animation 3 (Gen 7-Onwards)

Personally, I have no trouble with SM's animation style after you watch a load more episodes. It has gotten better I can say, though not as memorable as Animation 1 will ever be.

Honestly; I Prefer Animation 2; and hated Animation 3 from Before the first episode ever debuted; back when it was revealed in COROCORO magazine. . . and Don't wish to see Alola's Animation 3 ever again. . .

What if it's in Gen 8?

I kinda hope it uses the style from Movie 21 which attempts to slightly marry the styles of XY and Sun and Moon to great effect in my opinion.

Pokemon Animation 2 (Gen 2-Gen 6)

XY has a distinct style compared to DP and before. Gen 1 and 2 were a part of the same series, and Generation 3 switched to digital so that’s a change.

There's no pattern for maintaining an artstyle for any amount of generations:
Art style 1: OS (Gen 1 and 2)
Digital Art style 2: AG
Improvement on Digital Art style 2: DP
Art style 3: BW (différent eyes compared to other series, more polished)
Art style 4: XY (taller characters, fingernails, sharp edges)
Art style 5: SM

Effectively every series has a new art style, quite the opposite of what your list implied.

Then I'm not watching this either. . .

So likewise there's possibly a new anime style possibly for SwSh.

Probably too much to hope for but wish one or both of Ash's new companions would also compete for gym badges, more battles to make up for Sun and Moon

I kinda wished that when going from D/P to Best Wishes. Throughout D/P they had Ash encounter several Elite 4 and Cynthia and hinted at something called the Champion League, and with how well he worked as a battler/trainer many who were invested in the show at the time felt that Ash would win the Pokemon League and spend the next season taking part in the Champion League, especially when you add in the fact there were episodes of Brock helping Ash grow, having him learn about a lot of stuff that would make Ash be able to be more of a mentor... I and a lot of other fans I knew at the time felt that in the Gen 5 anime Ash would take on the Brock role of Mentor while going through the Champion League and a new character would take over as the Main Character going through the gym challenge, especially with the games having the supposed theme of a "New Beginning".

With the main characters, there is always one travelling without a goal, May, Dawn and Serena were travelling and entered contests whilst the other did little so would be nice to have something similar

Here's something that the next series should have, if it hasn't been done already...

A Jessie, James and Meowth counterpart that work with the evil Team of the Region as well as the usual Team Rocket Trio, with their own motto and everything, apart from the goofiness. Think of them like Cassidy and Butch, only slightly serious. You can have one episode where the two trios go up against each other. This would make it more refreshing when trying something new.

Don't know if this is the place to post it, but I made an unofficial opening theme, just like I did for X/Y. I wouldn't complain if we got someting similar to that!

Not bad at all, no doubt TPC would reduce something different with the official.

Hopefully Artstyle 6; is much closer to Artstyle 4, and Much less like Artstyle 5; and no Crummy Hybridized Artstyle like in The 21st Movie: The Power of Us
