If so, OH SWEET GOD YES!According to serebii, there's some new anime being released in Japan called Pokémon: The Origin featuring Red and Green. Pictures are shown, and it seems promising. It's going to run starting October 2nd.
You magnificent bastard.Enjoy :)
That's saddening, although it raises the question of, how will Red evolve his Charmander into a Charizard in such a short time?It's just a special episode/ova, not a full series, it seems
Considering the preview covers everything from Oak to the battle with Champion Green, the answer is liberal time skipsThat's saddening, although it raises the question of, how will Red evolve his Charmander into a Charizard in such a short time?
Makes sense, so that it won't be full of filler like the original series.Considering the preview covers everything from Oak to the battle with Champion Green, the answer is liberal time skips

Ohhhh, a single episode?Well
Yes
It's a single episode, not a series.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well
Yes
It's a single episode, not a series.
My thoughts exactly.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully they make more once they see how many people enjoy this.Enjoy :)
First of all, I'd like to say that the synopsis you've given is both simple and brilliant. The only thing that's missing here is the actual plot/conflict. I'd like to get this topic going again by asking if we can try to come up with a more detailed plot to go with this beautiful summary Chaos wrote up. I personally feel like our protagonist should discover some plot by an evil force/team/group/whatever who are trying to, you guessed it, take over the world (OF COURSE!!!). The rival, if there is one, should be antagonistic and actually be evil (instead of just a douche) and either be part of the evil plot to take over the world or be part of a separate evil group or something. I dunno.A mature pokemon anime would have to be short and separate from the main series to work. It can't be held back by the limitations of what the main series is meant to do, such as introduce the basics.
For example, something like this:
Main character's parents want him/her to take up the family business and run their (insert) shop. Main character is a rebellious angsty teenager of 17ish though, and would rather do anything BUT that. One day he/she gets so fed up with their nagging that he/she buys some pokeballs and runs away from home. Thus begins the eye opening adventure of main character as he/she tries to make it on their own in the world of pokemon, learning a lot of things about him/herself along the way through trials and the relationships with his/her pokemon and eventually start to see that life isn't what they thought it was.
Bam. Struggling character who develops, and it's about Pokemon. Somebody print that, I want to watch it.
I unno. This Pokemon Origin thing is looking TOOOOOO sick!WHY IS NOBODY POSTING ON THIS THREAD?!?!!?
I honestly can't wait, myself.I unno. This Pokemon Origin thing is looking TOOOOOO sick!
Interests me how they jam every single gym battle/ elite 4 in one single episode.Considering the preview covers everything from Oak to the battle with Champion Green, the answer is liberal time skips
It's probably going to be primarily Getting the Starters, rival battle (?), Brock, ~MONTAGE~, entering the indigo plataeu/e4, brief montage of beating the first three, lance battle, final rival battle (which will probably be condensed to just fighting Blastoise)Interests me how they jam every single gym battle/ elite 4 in one single episode.
Or maybe they don't include every gym.
Oh NOOOOOOO.... don't tell me that Lorelei's not going to be in it *cries*
Ya, should make a lot more sense if it's for an hour.It's probably going to be primarily Getting the Starters, rival battle (?), Brock, ~MONTAGE~, entering the indigo plataeu/e4, brief montage of beating the first three, lance battle, final rival battle (which will probably be condensed to just fighting Blastoise)
I'm guessing the thing will be an hour or so, not 30 minutes.

That may just turn out beautifully. It would be great if they could pull it off but knowing the Pokemon Company.. I doubt they'll give us what we want. I mean it took them this long to realize that we wanted this.Just a random thought, since im getting my hopes high for no reason so i want someone to tell me im wrong (or support me, please? :]). Maybe they are setting up in a similar way marvel-cinematic verse? They could do this with EVERY game protagonist, of course some, like Dawn, or Gold, would take longer than a couple of hours prolly, then they could either join them all in a super kawai desu epic movie, or just make a new protagonist that gets to know all of them in his journey. Anybody like this idea and think its possible?
While I like your idea, the problem is (for me at least) is that it'll probably share its universe with the current anime, and I don't give a damn about any of the current anime's characters.Just a random thought, since im getting my hopes high for no reason so i want someone to tell me im wrong (or support me, please? :]).

I actually do remember watching a legitimately good filler episode with little to no action back in the Battle Frontier era. I don't remember what it was called, but it involved May and Meowth time travelling. While that SOUNDS stupid (and it kinda is), what they did with it was really interesting and actually kind of mature. I'd go into detail, but I already have difficulty translating my thoughts into written words. When I get my thoughts together, I'll post the synopsis of that episode.In general, the protagonist annoys the hell out of both of us for hitting the reset button every season. We doubt anyone will miss him. Any newbie would make a more believable newbie than him. I guess the one who has made his current female side-kick the Champion of Unova in the games' continuity had the intention to troll the anime hard.
Thoughts on filler: They aren't inherently bad. Even seemingly superfluous stuff can have good entertainment value, as long as they manage to wrap things up in an interesting fashion while the audience is free to miss a few episodes without getting cut off the continuity - for example, Detective Conan consists mostly of filler. What makes Pokemon filler that bad is that they usually follow a strict pattern with very little thematical variation.
Pokemon has a lot of trivia as backup. What if they pull off very dialogue-heavy stuff with lots of talk and low action for filler? Kinda like Star Trek, but with Pokemon. Some people may argue that children nowadays get bored when things don't go boom, but we want to disagree. Unfortunately, I have no basis for that claim but personal opinion - my sister, at least, is part of the target audience and is free to mock the anime as much as she want.
