As announced on Tuesday, the first and second episode of Pokémon Generations premiere today and you can watch them right here!
For those that aren’t caught up yet Pokémon Generations is a series of animated shorts that revisits each generation of the Pokémon games to shed new light on some timeless moments. Each episode will be 3-5 minutes long and will release weekly starting today with Episode 1: The Adventure and Episode 2: The Chase, right up until December 23rd.
Episode One: The Adventure sees a Trainer and his Pikachu journey across Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh Unova and Kalos facing-off against Pokémon and uncovering the secrets each region hides.
Episode Two: The Chase follows Detective Looker on the trail of Team Rocket boss Giovanni. When critical information is uncovered regarding his location they rush to the scene and discover something truly unexpected..
Don’t forget to check back next week for the third episode of the series!
While you’re here why not pay a visit to our forums, or even come along have a chat?
I kinda wish they’d announce a post game feature. I know they won’t because it’s usually a secret, but I’d like to know that it won’t be like XY.
They can’t spoil Kalos
They spoiled it three years ago.
Speaking of which, was Kanto hidden for the full game before GS released?
I wish I knew. I don’t even think they showed Kanto before HGSS released, because I seem to recall people wondering if we’d still be able to go back.
Hmm. Yeah that’d be hard to find out, considering what their information medium was back then.
I am officially in LOVE with these shorts!
The animation is beautiful and fluid, and I quite like the Pokémon not saying their names!
It makes them feel more like the animals they’re based on.
My only complaint?
Why can’t it be LONGER?! </3
When the Frontier comes back, they should change the Battle Palace to focus on inverse battles.
Oh! I made a post about this a while ago. Here are my ideas for a new frontier:
– Battle Maze – inverse battle mirror maze
– Battle dome – battle royales
The Battle Dome focusing on Battle Royals would be amazing!
What about Rotation?
Screw Rotation ;~;
Battle Merry-Go-Round
Something I’ve noticed: We have to battle the trial captains. Here’s what we know: they have type specialities. Now, you might say “the totem Pokemon” and that might be true, but we have no reason to think that the captains own the totem. And if they didn’t own the totem, then what do they have type specialties for?
Also on the japanese overview trailer they seem to be doing a before battle animation (ex: mallow waves her hands in the air while the camera zooms to her)
I’ve heard people say (and I think they’re right) that those might be teaching you the Z move animations.
Oh, that could be right actually!
Maybe that’s what their type specialties are . . . :/
Yeah if i remember correctly the grass z move involves waving the hands as if it were a tree growing which could be what mallow is doing
But i really want to battle them
Also anyone noticed that important trainers have full vs animations while other trainers do a little thing and then the animation stops? Well i noticed that even though guzma seems like an important character he doesnt have a full battle animation like hau, hala or gladion so i will take that as a hint that he isnt the main antagonist or maybe its just that the full animation is saved for the final battle
Yeah. Or could be that Guzma has a special animation for his final battle.
pokemon SM Anime scan from the Pokémon Fan magazine. https://scontent-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14329929_548651928660155_1183766942546895323_n.jpg?oh=981454a81588a07ced25902cdbf8e46b&oe=586D80FA
Huh, from the scan w/Tauros, either Delia’s just visiting or she along with ash move to the Alola region… just like in the games!
If Delia is there….we know Oak is around somewhere :p
And I don’t mean Samson 😉
I imagine they’ll have him introduce Samson to them and take his leave.
Oak should take up a teaching position at the school.
That would be pretty good. He and Samson could both co-teach a class haha. I’m interested to see how they interact. I imagine Samson is just like him, but it’d be funny if they were completely opposite lol
Yupe.
aww I just realized how happy and smiley that sharpedo looks! its pretty adorable! :3
Kukui looks more and more attractive with each rendition of him we get.
I’m actually inclined to think Ash looks older (rf)
Anime art looks fine …I didn’t know wat ppl whining about.
Yeah the character art makes him look a bit more mature. I think maybe the teaser just doesn’t do the whole new series justice. After all when they originally aired the first two episodes of XY they had errors and differences to the official airing of them. the series will likely be fine as far as animation quality goes. What is really throwing people off is the vast difference between past animation styles and this one. It’s certainly the biggest change we’ve had. I personally like it, but I can see why people are a little put off. I also wouldn’t put too much stock into him going to school. It’s clearly meant to be special since the trial captains are there. For all we know it’s a school to learn how to be a captain.
Where did you get this image from? And yes, I said so myself he seemed older… but i dunno
Its from Pokescan, or Pokemon Fan or whatever its called
I just think he looks like a goofy noodle person.
Especially in the two images of him from that scan that you didn’t show.
If you asked me, the art style of the upcoming anime looks a tad creepy.
Creepy doesn’t mean it’s bad.
It does in the context Trusk is using it in.
Ash is Handsome! <3 ^v^ <3
I honestly think Ash deserves a break. He’s had so many losses that he needs time to find himself again. This could be good for him lol
Bought a Pikachu Anniversary Box and a Victini box. Unfortunately my pulls were a bit underwhelming, especially compared to the luck I’ve had in the past with the Generations set. Still happy to get the promo cards though!
The Victini card is ugly to me it’s eyes are too big for that head
Now I can’t unsee it lol
As much as I like the generations cards I stopped buying them. I feel like if I keep getting them I’ll end up getting to the point where I find a ton of duplicates and I’d like to stay away from that headache lol
Yea, I think I’m going to stop buying them too, deep inside I was really hoping for a Jolteon Ex, but it’s a stretch considering how big the set is.
Sakurai is involved in the Farewell Greninja episode. This explains everything ffs…
Who’s sakurai??
One of the directors of the XYZ series. He recently hinted at ”nerfing Ash’s Greninja”
Ohh! I thought for a second you meant the ppl from the ninja village lol!
That’s probably a tiny bit racist in some respects, but who cares. *upvotes anyway*
Noooo!! Farewell ash-greninja. Why?!?!? :…( Also why is xerosics showing up? At first I bough ash was going to leave greninja with xerosics
How is Xerosics name even pronnounced?
Zerr o sick
Huh
…There’s XERO chance of him getting Greninja XD
In guessing See-rock-sis?? Lol!
I think the X is supposed to be a greek chi and it’s supposed to be like Kserosic, because the Japanese name spells it kuseroshiki (i.e. kseroshik), which reminds me that they spell ‘Cerberus’ as keroberosu (i.e. keroberos).
Couldn’t say for definate without seeing the anime though.
Zerr-Oh-Sick
Farewell Greninja. You now get to join the ranks of the elite. Charizard, Snorlax, Sceptile and Infernape welcome you.
Nerfing Greninja and to an extent Ash is the only reason to go to Alola. I get it from a writers perspective, but I feel as if they have absolutely zero respect for the fanbase sometimes.
I think part of the reason is because loads of people wanted the bond phenomenon to appear in Sun&Moon and it’s not going to happen, so they’re killing it now to try to reduce the amount of outcry of it not being in the game.
I bet Xerosic is going to siphon out whatever mega essence Greninja possesses and hinders the ability to synchronize
I think you nailed it !:…( I’m so sad that kalos is over but hopefully S and m can make a big impact. Can’t wait to see how the aether foundation looks, that’s my only hope for now with this new anime
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-439505576 This put a smile on my face
hey , idk if you’ve forgotten , but the poke jungle official tournament has begun , and as were both in division 2 , we have to battle . So when exactly can you ?
I just watched these and I have to say- they were so impressive. Beautiful animation, creative plot and action, awesome choices for the plots too! Can’t wait for the rest of them!
Ugh well since I now am almost done with HGSS I decided to start Black 2. My current team:
Oshawott
Riolu
Magby
Patrat (temporary)
Sewaddle
Why didn’t they show any release date in Japan yet? I’m confused.
My idea for the first episode of Pokemon Sun and Moon:
– Delia phones Ash that they’re moving/taking a vacation to a “new” region
– Once he arrives in Pallet Town, he, Oak, and Delia catch a plane to Alola and Oak says that he can’t wait to introduce Ash to someone special (AKA Samson)
– After arriving in Alola they get a tour by Samson and after seeing all the new Pokemon and thinking about the challenge, Ash gets inspired to travel through the region and Samson suggest he first enter a Pokemon school designed for trainers wanting to further their bond and strength before actually traveling
– Ash agrees, but there’s a catch: he must first pass the Entrance Exam
– Part 1 of the Entrance Exam begins and during the Exam, he has a fateful meeting with Tapu Koko, the guardian deity
– Episode ends
This is so cliche, but that’s how I see it playing out. I think the Entrance Exam should include battling, races, and other competitions to weed out those not worthy enough for the school. Additionally, it would be a great way to introduce the characters and allow Ash to bond with them. If I were the writer, I would also make it that the Island Captains are there to keep an eye on things as suspicious activity has been rousing.
You forgot the part where he gets Rowlet. Has to be in the first episode or at least the second.
Oh yeah. Fit it in there, somewhere, I guess. 😀 I totally forgot about the starters.
How do you feel about him possibly releasing Greninja? I think its unnessesary. He can just leave it with Oak like his other powerhouses
I think it’s unnecessary, but if its for the movement of the plot and progression for the character, I’m in the minority in saying I’m okay with it. But seeing as how happy he looks in Sun/Moon even if he releases Greninja, I don’t think there’ll be any overlapping connections with XYZ which is a bummer.
The 7 have been gathered.
It’s Super Genesis Wave time 🙂
http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/5/5c/Super_Genesis_Wave_explanation.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150603201135
You forgot the part where pickachu trips over a leaf and faints.
And loses to a lv5 Wimpod or Yungoos
Or a Pyukumuku
Sounds good to me
How likely do you think it will be that we’ll get another Episode akin to the Delta Episode? What would you want it to encompass?
AZ episode involving Zygarde that takes place in Kalos.
Marshadow Episode?
I was always half and half on the Delta episode. I liked having more story stuff, but I didn’t like Zinnia or the ‘ancient dragon tribe’ stuff. Rayquaza vs Deoxys was good though.
If we got another story after the story situation, I’d want something involving at least 1 legendary and something that is foreshadowed in the main story. I hate when they introduce stuff deus ex machina instead of setting the lore up beforehand. Also I’d want some ruins and reading of stone tablets. Translating the braille in the sealed chamber and the dotted hole are two of my all time highlights of the pokemon games. Plus there were the ruins of alph slide puzzles, snowpoint temple and volcarona’s ruins. Having ruins in a game is almost traditional (except Kanto didn’t have any other than pokemon mansion and XY broke the tradition by just having the ugly standing stones).
The battle of Rayquaza v.s. Deoxys was bad for me I one shotted it
I redid it at least 10 times just to make sure I caught Deoxys with a Pokeball.
The last part was cool, but over half of it felt like a fetch quest.
Yeah, it was very back and forth.
Would have been better if it had been mostly set in one or two locations and the player had to advance further inwards like a regular dungeon.
Apparantly there’s been a big leak inside Gamefreak themselves, with more info to be released very soon.
Apparantly it took the plumber five hours to fix and it took another two hours to clean up the water.
are we getting a leak article , I’ve been craving those for the last 2 weeks…
HEYYyyy dae!! I haven’t seen you in a while (more like years) it’s so good to see you are still here.
I’ve been active the past few months, but haven’t been writing though. I should do it once again. Soon.
Was it a self contained leak? Or did anything make its way out?
I WANNAAA KNOW!
Wait Dae, what happened to that supposed leak article you mentioned a week or so ago? Also is this a joke or is there a real leak?
Dae doesn’t write any more, also any teasing regarding future articles usually comes from me.
Stay tuned. 😉
I’ve been refreshing the main page for about 23 minutes now , so is there actually an article coming or not ?
No. Dae hasn’t written anything for the site for a long time. There’s no article coming from anyone else regarding leaks either. Not today, anyway.
ohh …well aren’t we getting news on the 20th anyways ?
Yep! 🙂
It better not be another piece a crap like the 14th
To be fair, the UBs were revealed, and if Corocoro hadn’t leaked before the announcement, it would’ve been huge news.
For me Ultra beasts aren’t big cause they probably are Pokemon but they are legendary like and bore me that way
Well that’s your opinion, but it’s still big news for those that like them more. I hope you get something you like on the 20th. 🙂
Oh, boy now I will surely write a new article, just gimme some time
Oh you can take all the time you want, I don’t mind.
Brb deleting your account.
It was a joke, the plumber should have made it clear 😛
OMG Black 2 has wild Growlithe? Bye bye Magby, you’re incredible cute, but I WANT ARCANINE
I used an Elekid
They are White 2 exclusive
Elekid is the best, magby sucks..
Althiugh i love growlithe.. its a bit overrated.
Stumbled across a fanmade Lusamine battle theme and just had to share it here. I’m absolutely in love with it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4uIwMePZaY
This was posted before by @EastGovnah:disqus, but yeah. It suits her really well 😀
I was tempted to say that but resisted the temptation 😛
Plus I couldn’t find the original poster. For some reason I thougt it was StarStorm.
Hey, Dicie! What’s your status on the PJT tournament? I know this is supposed to be kept over at the forums, but I didn’t think it would do any good to message you on there since your profile says you haven’t been active over there since March.
Yeah, I need to know. As well as EarthenWarrior, suprisingly enough.
Playing Pokemon Black now restarted my team idea so far is
Samurott
Flying type
A Cut user
A strength user
?
?
Any suggestions?
I never use HM whores in my team lol
It was to assure that I can continue without stopping to drag something out of Pc but you have a point my team should be based on what I want
My latest Black team was
Emboar
Eelektross
Swoobat
Cinccino
Excadrill
Scolipede
My team I feel should be
Samurott
Whimsicott or Leavanny
Darmanitan or Simisear
Reunicleus
Krokodile or Golurk
Garbodor or Vanilluxe
Samurott
Archeops
Sawsbuck (Cut user, plus it gets STAB from it)
Chandelure
Galvantula
Krookodile
My plan is below but I may change it soon
Ah, I see. Although you don’t have a flying type
I don’t have an exact layout, but try using Darmanitan, Galvantula, Archeops (they rock), Bisharp, Haxorus, Sawk, Leavanny, Chandulure, Golurk, Gothetielle, or Druddigon. I’ve used them and they are all exceptionally good in battle
I wonder what will be shown on tuesday.
Tuesday leak revealed
Rockruff Evo English name
Pikipek Evo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A new Pokemon or two
Maybe a Fossil Pokemon
(Probably no starter Evos. I’ve lost hope)
Am I the only one who has zero intrest in getting starter evos? The fun in those for me was speculating the final forms, which we already know.
Yeah, I don’t care about the middle forms at all now…give me other pokemon evos instead.
If we didn’t know the final forms, I’d be really eager to get them, but rightn now it’s like “meh, I don’t really care”.
Same. Who cares about how they get to the final forms..it’s irrelevant. I’d rather just know if the finals have day/night forms or not.
My money’s on no, but that’d be really cool.
I’m praying they do. Litten needs redemption.
It could’ve been a cool fire/poison, fire/electric or anything (NOT FIGHTING) but we got the weird bipedal thing. Why would they think people want this!?
They obvi heard our cries about HM’s but not about the fire starters… -_-
HMs was the least of my concerns. I’m hoping they heard our plea for battle frontier.
They damn well better have
I starting to think myself who cares about them I’ll get what I get and not get upset happened with Chespin will happen again will get upset
Ditto for me. I never care for middle forms of starters because they’re just a placeholder until I can get the final forms, in my opinion.
They aren’t as iconic or cute as the basic forms, but they aren’t as cool or strong as the finals.
And in the grand scheme of things, you aren’t likely to have them very long. The story between levels 16ish-35ish go pretty quickly compared to the rest of the game.
But. BUT! What if… those aren’t the REAL final forms.
My guess is 4-6 new Pokemon (including fossils if we’re getting any at all), 2-3 Alolan forms, clarification on PokeRide, some cryptic information linking Skull and Aether, and something completely new.
Fingers crossed for Fossils. I’ll miss them so much if they’re gone.
They will be back only Gen.2 failed to chip in only part that saddened me
We need a Pokemon side game where we travel as a Pokemon or trainer in a prehistoric setting. We have 21 fossil Pokemon + their evolutions and add in the possibility of 4 more including evolutions, then we have 25. Also add in a sizable amount of Pokemon that have somehow survived extinction such as Relicanth and it’ll I think it’ll make for a pretty interesting game.
What do you mean survive extinction?
There’s bound to be reasons as to why the fossil Pokemon became extinct either due to environment disasters, inability to adapt to environmental or food chain changes, etc… and there are bound to be ones that survived these catastrophes as well. That’s what I meant.
Oo gotcha. I think I misread. Yeah, I wonder what the extinction event was and if it mirrors our world.
Me too. Would be interesting to know… but I guess it’s one of those things that’ll forever remain a mystery.
Pokemon Helix and Dome.
*reads headline* ALL COPIES OF POKEMON HELIX SELL OUT. POKEMON DOME HAS NO COPIES SOLD.
Oh… wait… The Media doesn’t care about REAL Pokemon. They only care about “REAL” Pokemon.
*reads headline*
Man Weeaboo dies while trying to catch Weedle on highway in Pokemon GOoh
I never considered they would be gone D:
But I can kind of see them going like “Tortuga and Archen are the fossils of Alola.”
what fossil though?
I honestly couldn’t guess. I never liked the fossils anyway, but I’d love it if there was somehow a Ghost fossil.
hmmm fossils
My predictions:
– Rockruff evos
– Fossil pokemon
– New Kahuna/Tapu
what fossil pokemon though?
I dunno.
ok
Stegosaurus with lightning rod spines
Electroscute and conductadon
Rock/Electric
omg YES but theirs already a stego and it was Aurora….
arorous was not a stegosaurus
I want:
– Rockruff’s evolutions
– Fossil Pokemon
– Starter evolutions
I would only expect what was covered in corocoro and 3-4 more new pokemon. The news we get in the second half of the month generally only covers pokemon.
yeah lol
Just finished my essay only to remember I forgot the bibliography/reference portion… Knightcite is a God-send savior. Anyways, I really hope they show the starter evolutions because I’ve been dying to know! I mean, we all have.
Well, except for me honestly.
Okay, because you asked for it: I’ve already written 500 words of a new article and there’s a LOT more coming, but the general outline is already there.
Ok but what is it about?
Info?
GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE
ABout what sir?
It’s about time. But it’s not directly related to SM. It’s something new, something old, a fresh idea. Won’t say more though.
Dae Asks!? 😀
Not a Dae asks, a full article, standalone.
Aww ;~;
You speak in riddles
Fan game ?
No, it doesn’t have anything to do with a fan game
PokeJungle Magazine?
When I said that it’s about time, I literally meant the concept of time.
I’d love to publish PJM one day, but for that I have to graduate first.
Is it about these leaks?
The leak was a joke, it was a play on actual leaks, like water all over the floor.
I know. But you make the joke that I just made sometimes
@ithsme:disqus how do you end the HTML codes? like if I put: I don’t know what you guys are talking about
UB-02A looks great. It keeps going after that. How do I stop it?after the point you want it to end
Just remove the spaces inside the
Thanks
