The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel has just updated with a trailer for a series of animated shorts known as Pokémon Generations.
The animated series will revisit each Pokémon Generation of the video game series and shed new light on some “timeless” moments. The 18 bite-sized episodes (around 3 to 5 minutes long) will be released weekly from September 16th until December 23rd, 2016.
[NEW!] Several high quality screenshots from the series have been added, check them out below!
Stick around for more Pokémon Sun & Moon news tomorrow!
Who’s excited?!
It’s always nice when they acknowledge that the franchise has fans over 10 years old. And let’s all hope that Ho-Oh FINALLY does something (anything please).
Most underutilized legendary.
Sorry for the off topicness but I need to vent
My efing phone keeps crashing and freezing nearly giving me a heart attack and giving me heavy anxiety every time I pick it up
And if I lose my phone I’ll lose so many precious photos and app data I simply cannot live without
Back up to your computer asap
At first I found it a little odd that it’s Red in Kalos instead of the Player character.
But then I remembered in Origins he had Mega Charizard, so it wouldn’t seem like a stretch to assume this is the same world and the Red parts are what happened after, and he went to find out what mega evolution was, specially when a couple of bits in the trailer seem to be from Origins.
What I find interesting is that Zygarde 100% is in it, and obviously in Terminus Cave, as shown where Noivern is chasing Red.
I wonder if this, like Origins, will reveal anything new…
it will end in december and the games will be out by then, I dont think it can reveal anything
It well end a month after the games are out lol
That doesn’t mean it can’t reveal anything in the episodes BEFORE they’re released
That doesn’t mean it might not before, or even “Reveal” a mythical after, I say “Reveal” cause we all know hackers will find them first
There’s what looks like Pikachu using Gigavolt Havoc in the trailer. So maybe that?
Hype!
What are you seriously going to show In 3-5 minutes?
Pikachu in a spinning chair
I think the will revel something new at the end like megaZard X in the origin.
What I mean is, with 6 generations and only 18 eps, you’ll get around 15 minutes per region. What are you going to be able to showcase in such a short amount of time.
Specially Gen 5 which has a lot compared to say Gen 1
And with all of this gen 1 pandering,it’s safe to assume that the gen with the least amount of things to show will get the most time
May be so if they use Red in each region, as we’ve seen him in Kalos
it ends December 23rd unless its a teaser for the next games
Yes Yesss YESSSS!!!!!
Ehh I guess they could reveal a new Z-move, but not a new mechanic because Z-moves are the new mechanic for gen 7.
That’s will not be cool enough ….I don’t care about moves I need more design more art.
I think like every weekend or something like Origins just shorter
So I found my copy of Black after it mysteriously vanished for several months and I decided to continue my playthrough on it.
My current team
Pignite
Swoobat
Herdier
Whirlipede
Drilbur
Pansage
Thoughts?
needs more cincinno
Ehh I guess I could swap Stoutland later on for Cinccino. I never used it so I’ll have to try
skill link + tail sweep = good times for an in game team. give that sucker a kings rock if you like not letting your opponent move. also has access to bullet seed and rock blast for coverage.
I’m currently in Castelia City and closest route where I can catch Minccino is route 5, so its gonna take a while before I’ll have it
Skill link im pretty sure is mincinnos hidden ability, so unless you can trade, don’t use it. You do get a skill link mincinno in b2w2 though.
Shit, I just used one in White 2 and never thought to give it a kings rock! That will definitely help in defeating benga though.
Needs more Cofagrigus and Swanna
needs more swanna
I already used both of them before, I plan on using only pokemon I never used (apart from the starters obviously)
NEEDS MORE BASCULINITY
I’ll go back to Platinum tomorrow probably so Shieldon incoming
Nice coverage. The fighting type E4 might give you trouble though, unless you have a lot of faith that swoobat can OHKO them before dying from stone edge.
I would also maybe do elektross instead of pansage, but that’s just me. You would be upgrading from 5 weaknesses to 0
Never used Eelektross so I’ll be giving it a try then
I want sun and moon leaks, even if they’re false. Need to know new grass, ice, fairy, water moves. Specially, I need a new physical fairy move.
Every physical move is Fairy with Pixilate..
Something that someone else than Sylveon and Megas could use. If it’s an TM, better.
you mean tm lol
This actually sounds interesting, I mean I loved the art style or Origins and this seems to a replica/continuation of that sorta, plus easy to watch episodes!
They forgot about Maxie and Archie!! How could they!!!
🙁 poor Archie
I should enjoy this This will abide my time till Christmas
So I don’t understand my brain sometimes but as you know I constantly churn out ideas for fakemon and for some ungodly reason I came up with a Fairy/Grass Rabbit Pokemon
Some kind of Mixture of a dryad and elf all in the form of a woodland hare
Like a grey jade green rabbit with very long pointy elven ears which can sense the prosperity of plant life
They had a scraped Grass Rabbit for Gen.2 but was scrapped for not fitting the environment of Johto
CALL THE NEWS. EARTHEN’S COME UP WITH A FAIRY TYPE
Shut your face I still hate the prissy bastards
I just randomly came up with one
Why do all Pokemon with Rock Head ability have to suck with move pools like (doesn’t get immune to Explosion) only one of them can learn one that isn’t Ground, Rock, or Normal, and they learn it at super high levels!!! Grrrrr!!!
I know right
I have one Pokemon that would be the king of Rock Head
Precibex
Normal/Rock
Rock Head/Sheer Force
A imposingly large and stocky grey brown mountain goat (look up Nubian Ibex) with massive stone antlers which can shatter solid rock
And for a movepool: Head Smash and Double-Edge, Zen Headbutt, Iron Head, Headbutt, And Bulk Up
AAAAARGH YOU AND YOUR TOP NOTCH DESIGNS. JUST APPLY WITH GAME FREAK!
I want to but I’ll never get hired
Something with Rock Head and Flare Blitz, Wild Charge or Brave Bird, a bit more variation? I guess most that have it so far wouldn’t make sense being able to use the other moves.
Aerodactyl, gets Rock Head, can only take advantage of it with Take Down
Great going GF
I mean Emboar could’ve stood a chance cause Flare Blitz, Wild Charge & Head Smash
I still question why they refuse to give Aerodeactyl Head Smash. I would say due to game balance but Megas are a thing and they are everything but balanced
Also what’s funny no Mega’s have this ability I was going to use Golem then I learned Explosion isn’t in move it effects and said bye bye
Yeah only Sudowoodo can learn something none Ground, Rock, or Normal and Its Wood Hammer
Why can’t the main anime belike this!?
You want the main anime to be a compilation of random scenes?
You know what he meant
Yeh, but one thing I hated about Origins is all the Gym Battles were montaged.
Literally the only reason to watch a Pokemon anime is battling and they took most of those away.
Also when people say Origins is better than the normal anime because Red is a better trainer.
Apparently Red using his entire team to beat two Pokemon is acceptable, but when Ash does it it’s outrageous (talking about Roxie here). I dislike the double standard.
Yes I will probably enjoy these little shorts, but the normal anime is good enough in my honest opinion.
I liked Chronicles, I think they should bring that back, and dub the special episodes that haven’t been dubbed yet, and then make more
I agree. As much as i like Origins it gets way too much credit. And while i think the main anime could use some tweaking I’m content with it. I’m glad we have an anime for the game at all considering most other anime based off of games will either be short or be poorly done adaptations (granted i tend to enjoy them still. Just because its poorly adapted doesn’t mean its bad)
Personally, when I think what anime should look like the first thing that comes to my mind is that Black & White short film. It was more grown up, interesting and Pokémon had their in game, more animalistic cries rather than saying their names… that way it should be!
This is what the pkm anime to look like. That short is SO COOL. But nooooooo, let’s keep ash and pikachu
.?.
Because Pkm is “for kids” who “don’t like violence” and always “want” happy endings. They should make a show for kids and another ones for the more mature audience (with no ash or pikachu)
the ‘kids’ are grown up, so should pokemon… Well at least a large part of the pokemon fans are grown up..
They should at least bump up the age rating a bit for the older fans.I’m not saying make it completely dark,just saying that maybe they could make the anime a little more serious (or at least something like that) for the fans who’ve been watching Pokemon since it first came out or around that time.I don’t have a problem with how the anime goes,but everything I just said would probably make the anime better.Plus,it’ll get them more money.(Sorry if this is long,btw)
Hopefully if this garners enough attention they might do just that.
Can’t wait, love this idea
Judging by how great Origins was, this will be really REALLY good 😀
I cannot wait for the Hoenn and Sinnoh parts.
You can be my friend.
You are now an amazing person
Anyone who loves Hoenn is a god
YEEEEESSSS I CANNOT WAIT OMG JUST SAW THIS THID IS GONNA BE AMAZING
New post from Chinese Riddler? http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4780646955
no different forms of the starters… MEHHHH
Whimpod new magikarp? So it evolves in a badass??
and?
>-A new pokemon can evolve in Solgaleo or Lunala by a special method
yeah, that part was craycray.. Sounds weird.. What pokemon could evolve in either a lion or a bat xD
How is this from riddler when there’s no riddle? Did she change her method?
spot the fake line?
“>Leaker-chan leaks” not from him/her
From my understanding, he/she reposted information from a 2chan, but stated there was some right and wrong in it.. There is a purpose for his repost, but didn’t say what.
Better watch Cresselia’s translation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gc8-F-74xk.
I hope that’s real, the water-dragon dolphin will be my new favorite.
So this was announced (refresh)
huh… this isn’t new right?
its coming to america
Haha, oh.. In europe its already up for a pre-order
omgiwantit
This is actual quite old in the terms of Japan. It was just announced to be coming to the US today. It’s an outstanding 3DS design and I know it’s going to sell out fast; similar to the Fire Emblem Fates New 3DS XL.
price?
$199.99 if i recall correctly
Yeah.
mmm 2DS here i GO!
I have a 3DS, but I’m not planning on buying a new one ever. Until a new handheld with Pokemon Games comes out.
What I want to see:
– VS. Ghetsis
– VS. N
– N’s Castle rising from the ashes of the Unova League which brought chills when I first played the games and saw that scene and is one of the most memorable scenes in Pokemon
– Gold VS Red on Mt. Silver
– AZ’s story
– Distortion World VS. Cyrus and Giratina
– Ultimate Weapon getting fired
– The War
– Silver’s past
– Delta Episode
– First there was nothing, then there was Arceus
Alright this was the forth phone freeze in a row and my psyche is totally shot…
I just wish there was a quick and easy way to back up my phone like everything from notes, photos, favorites and everything on it a carbon copy onto a cloud server and transfer everything
I can’t live without my phone it’s a crippling addiction
I still don’t have the Pokemon go update .-.
Neither do I yet I got Psyduck from an Egg
Hey anyone know where Aurora Fae has gone he just went up and vanished so have some other people like Omega Empoleon, Chicocolombia, Menacing Cascoon, and I think Nickerton too Where did y’all go?
They never come to disqus they’re all in chat
Ew. I hate chat. I’ve tried it there, but I really like being able to respond to specific comments people have made, which the chat doesn’t allow. The only conversation you can have is the current one.
Alot of them just kinda fell through the cracks but a certain one had some drama happen sadly and left the site.
Which?
Aurora.
I’m gonna miss those A-Holes… -__-
Ohh Aurora right?
people move on.
yess, the ‘new bees’ are in town
i mean ive left for like a year i think. people do return
its just anonymous persons together on a forum.. Who cares. I like it here, but I have my life outside of this site etc
yea they could call to say hi
TBH I’m here because the real people in my life who are supposed to be my “friends” always hate on pokemon for it being a baby game.
a good reason, yes! have a couple of friends that are into pokemon, but none so crazy into it as the peeps here (&myself yes)
Yeah well try having to hide it because 99% of people at my school would make fun of me for it! Sorry if that came of as rude but that’s the situation I’m in.
no worries, maybe its ur age. I’m 25 and I like what I like, just like everybody else in my surroundings & they accept it.
I’m in a place full of edgy teens who trash talk pokemon because it’s childish, and they want to act mature. I’m sure it’ll get better as I age, people will learn to just enjoy their own thing regardless of its so-called audience.
ah high school, good luck, it does get better men 😉
Thanks, I know it will. 🙂
but of course played PokeGo right?
Of course. They’re all bandwagoners honestly, pokemon GO was the craze over the summer, and now they’ve moved on, and whatever big thing that comes next will be new thing for a month or so. It’s an unstable environment, if that makes sense.
a baby game where u almost die, like twice
Yeah I left for around a year and returned in January.
because the news got so dry people just stopped coming
Yeah 2015 sucked.
and also around ORAS release drama was at a all time high,
ORAS was kinda weird though. There was defintely not as many people as there were around the XY days, but there weren’t too few either. I don’t really know what you mean about drama though.
Or get brutality assassinated by random highwaymen
or u hit them with ur mighty hammer
Or that, I wish I had a magical Hammer
With an collapsible staff, and the head spins like a drill that can bore through rock and dirt, the head also opens up a compartment which I scoop up dirt and rocks and fire them out like a bazooka
And made of a magical alloy which weighs nearly anything but packs destructive force
the head can also detach via a chain and be swung around like a flail
Lastly elemental manipulation
True yet I won’t any time in the near future you guys are the best of the sites imo
I haven’t seen SesquipedalianPokedex either. I saw Nickerton a few days ago. Fae left because of a fight (Don’t ask)
Oh I know this one! Pokedex left because of the buggyness of disqus on mobile. I’ve experienced issues with that too, but they have gotten better recently. I’ve mostly just stopped using my phone for PJ; whoever’s issue that is really needs to fix it, it renders disqus unusable at times.
Oh. That sucks. He was awesome.
I know. :/ We haven’t gotten many new members recently either to fill up the place, but I have no doubt that we’ll see many people return and join for the first time once sun and moon come out. Think of this as the calm before the storm. 🙂
SesquipendalianPokedex yeah forgot about him, Nickerton I can’t remember but yeah I forget sometimes and I think I remember the fight but I won’t mention names
Yeah. I did once and it got removed
You know re-watching the mega evolution specials, you can just feel the evil seething from Lysadre. The way he talks about bringing about peace is so calm, as if he actually believes he’s doing good…
I always watched it without subtitles, so I haven’t payed attention lol. But seriously TF is pretty damn good in the series
This is huge! For more reasons than one. Firstly, I believe this is the first time that pokemon has even referred to the different generations as “generations”. Until now that was a fan term.
Kinda like how shiny was a fan term until the legendary hamster event before black and white came out!
Really? I had no idea.
