I was kinda wondering the same thing.

Pokemon =/= Pokeballs. Even without Pokeballs, if there are Pokemon, it’s a Pokemon manga.

……btw, you can just call it reBURST…… XD That’s what a title’s for….

Depends on what you consider canon. Is Mystery Dungeon canon? Jumping through time and getting changed into a Pokemon? Because if you say that’s canon, then this definitely is. BUT, if you consider canon to be only what’s in the MAIN games, then no, it’s not canon. Depends on where you draw the line.

^I LOL’d. Hard.

Japan is MEANT to withstand earthquakes, the radiation levels aren’t bad for anyone outside the evacuation area, and they’ve been saying there will be a meltdown for what, 2 weeks? Hasn’t happened yet. The stuff you posted is what causes panic and overreaction. As long as he’s not too close to Fukushima, there’s no reason to flee.

Except that the anime has always been close enough to the manga that giving them a second anime would have been ridiculous. I mean, can you imagine an episode with Dawn, and then a back-to back with an episode with Lady Berlitz? Talk about confusing the kiddies. “Five minutes ago he was Barry, now they’re calling him Pearl???”

BUT reBURST is so far different from what they’re doing in Best Wishes that having a spinoff anime is actually possible. As far as we’ve seen there aren’t any character overlaps, so the whole name thing is a non-issue. Plus, it’d be awesomely cool to see the hybrids animated. 😀

I put this chapter up in an easier-to-read/downloadable/permanent location here

It will probably start off with just Gen 5 Pokemon (of the pictures shown so far, only Unova dex Pokemon are seen), then we dwindle down to the older gens and eventually have one of Mewtwo. Then again, it’s pretty early in Gen 5, with Black and White having just come out in the states, so we will likely be seeing, from all 3 sides (the anime, the games, and the manga) strictly Gen 5 Pokemon like Gigalith, Darumitian, and Reshiram, until after a while, we will start seeing the classics we all know and love like Charizard, Syther, and Dragonite again
