I never thought Electrode to be adorable like they were in this episode
The anime always knows how to make us want one of every pokemon. . .
Poor little critters being used by Team Rocket like that. Glad they got some revenge XD
Now THIS, is what we should be getting. The previous episode with Gary felt so empty and pointless.
I admit this was the best so far!
Team Rocket walks really weird
At 1:31. They must be drunk as hell.
Well now that was awesome! I think they’ll likely keep the player characters as mysterious as they can to keep up with the role playing aspect. Pretty cool episode. This series is definitely very fun to watch and even though each episode is only 4-5 minutes it feels complete. I look forward to seeing the Next episode. I wonder if they’ll do silver talking to Giovanni next.
I agree, I almost can’t ask them for longer episodes because they may not turn out like this, but just filler. I do wish the series as a hole would run longer though. Not such a set amount of episodes..
Ok, this ones the Most Rewatchable one for me. The others were just ok, but this was Amazing! I finally feel how everyone else does about this series because of this episode.. until now.. I’ve been kind of pretending hehe. This Need to an entity of its own and longer or at least not stopping so soon. Honestly I am Soo Impressed! Definitely for the more mature crowd Pokemon Go bought back!
Anyone else feel Dragonite would of been a better choice for the flying riding Pokemon than Charizard.. ?
Dat Dragonite! It’s too godly!
Oh and are they hinting at “Break Through” being a thing… I know odds are he meant through the crowd of other Pokemon.. but isn’t Break Through a Pokemon Card thing also? Dragonite seemed to have a sort of shield around it. Which would go Really Well with it’s ability. Kind of like Mimikyu. Or, maybe I’ve watched too many Pokemon Theories on YouTube lately.. ,=]
Break Through is just the name of a set lol
they don’t start turning gold soon after or whatever those weird cards do??
Break evolution just adds more HP and an extra attack or ability. Very few of them are actually good. There’s a story for the series but I don’t remember it.

they did a good job with this episode i hope to see more
Why do you always post unrelated pictures?
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed.
im not being a troll okay
i thought it made sense
New kind of troll
Now this is more like it! Things were actually allowed to happen/play out in this episode! More of THIS please!!
Sidenote: That goofy way Team Rocket walked lol
This was…incredible. These shorts are really making me build animosity toward the regular anime…why can’t it have been this good?!?!
This is how I always imagine a world inhabits red by Pokemon to actually play out!
Lastly…Dat Dragonite tho…
I don’t see how this is even comparable to the regular anime…Origins definitely is but this? There’s hardly even a story going on here.
There’s a variety reasons to like it.
But to each his own.
Maybe because I like this more than the anime? Maybe because I tend to hate filler in anime, (and since most anime has filler, yes I hate most anime), and this doesn’t have and can’t have any. Maybe because it shows the Pokemon world in a more realistic way, (realistic for a world with Pokemon, how culture would have formed around them, how laws, crime fighting, etc.), than the insanely childish way the main anime deals with it? Maybe because I didn’t say I like this for the story or plot, but rather the world-building I listed earlier? Maybe any one of those reasons, but mainly because I like it.
I can understand if you don’t like it but that doesn’t mean I can’t.
Also I have no issue with Ash and actually think he’s a great character. My issue is that the main anime doesn’t even come close to expanding upon the potential of this amazing and deep franchise while generations does in very subtle ways.
Jeez, you don’t need to get defensive about it…I was just wondering how you liked it better..
I’m sorry… Yesterday I was just having a really bad day and I saw your comment at like the worst time. I do sincerely apologize for my outburst.
I just really like generations, it’s fresh and has much better and *smarter* attention to detail than the anime. Like how in this episode Magnemite seemingly has sturdy as it’s the only Pokemon to survive Dragonite’s attack that KO’d all the others. It’s stuff like that I like the most. I say it way too much lol but world building is my favorite part of any series/franchise and generations is chock full of it. A series/season/game plot can have a bad story but as long as the world that it’s placed in has been properly built you know a good story can always come out of it eventually
Haha, it’s okay. I was being a bit of an ass as well. It totally didn’t click that magnemite has sturdy until you just said it. That was a really nice detail.
YES YES ABD YES, totally agree with ALL of that. The only thing stopping generations from being phenomenal is the fact that they’re only mini episodes. If the anime had this more serious and realistic tone, I would be soooo happy. Also, it’s extremely refreshing to experience the Pokemon world from the POV of people who aren’t ash. Not to say I don’t like ash but as stated above, this world is so rich and full of culture. I like seeing how other parts of the Pokemon universe work when you’re not a 10 year old trying to beat the Pokemon league
I agree with Ultron. As much as quality it seems to have it cant really be considered “Better” than the anime, it doesn’t have a solid affirmative story.
Better is a subjective qualifier and I personally like it more. So yes, it can be considered better than the regular anime. But just by me lol
lance kinda sounds like Liam O’Brien. anyways, this was another fantastic generations episode. I hope they keep up this quality, and also that eventually the original anime stops being made (as unlikely as that is…)
I kinda like that one part with the cluster of Electrode
Lance’s Dragonite fucks shit up!
What kind of meds are the grunts on? Look at the way they walk. xD
anyone else think the red gyarados lysandre had in the xy anime is the same one?
No, because I’m pretty sure Lance already has the Lake of Rage Red Gyarados in the Anime.

I like dragonite a whole lot now more after watching this episode. I hope the new series has the same animation as this, its just so good and feels more like a real anime.
YES LADS!! I finally started Pokemon Y. And this is my current team, but its not final, keep in mind.
Braixen
Vivillon
Hawlucha
Amaura
Helioptile
Floette
Looks like a fun team and you and I have similar tastes. I’ve used Delphox, Hawlucha, Heliolisk, Florges previously. Almost used Aurorus and Vivillon a few times.
What color Floette? I used Blue.
Vivillon is elite
Plus I use it for my captures because it has Stun Spore
Another fun episode. I’m not super in the loop on Japanese culture but do they regularly associate alcohol with thugs or villains? Because that could explain the weird drunk walk.
Yeah what was with that walk? It was awful
I didn’t like this episode. Its called the Lake of Rage, but was more to do with the Mahogany hideout.
Also they could have shown the play character capturing the Red Gyarados before Lance approaches him/her and then they investigate the source i.e. Mahogany Hideout.
Overall not my favourite, but the animation was decent and Dragonite is a boss.
Still think Episode 2 was the best thus far
Before anyone says, yes I know it’s only 5 mins, I just felt it could flow a little better.
Why was Ethan/Gold even in this episode? He stood in the doorway the whole time lmao and did nothing. He definitely should’ve captured the Red Gyarados.
Exactly my point. I think they should have shown him battling and capturing the Red Gyarados with Lance watching from a distance, and then switched to the Mahogany hideout bit. The part with the grunts wasn’t needed. Should have had Lance fight Petrel and then release the Electrode….
That sounds way better already. The part where the grunts’ pokemon were all jumping up to attack looked so stale and lifeless. Golbat wasn’t even flapping its wings.
The hell? Why were the grunts walking like drunk zombies? And the attacking animation was garbage when Lance was fighting them. Petrel also would’ve most certainly died from that electric attack.
Idk, I’m not really enjoying these all that much….it’s like giving us a half-baked bite of something larger we’ll never get to fully eat.
I think they are OK so far. I agree with the pont about it being a part of something bigger than we are never going to get, but I like the added story arcs to some of the characters.
Episode 2 is my favourite so far, episode 3 was average, but this one could have definitely been done better.
If they wanted to focus on Lance, they could have also done a short arc with him, Clare, the Dragons Den and the elders, something we wouldn’t have seen before, like episode 2.
I liked ep. 1 cause of Volcarona mainly. But I also thought there was something epic about Red’s encounter with Perfect Zygarde
That was a great metaphor lol. But you have to admit, this one is definitely one of the better ones so far (This and episode one), it actually has a complete scene instead of snippets of battles.
Why thank you lol. But I’d agree this is one of the better ones, although I found some of the animation weird/sloppy. At least the dialogue was decent, even though there wasn’t much.
Oh good, I wasn’t the only one who thought the animation was a bit off in this episode xD I didn’t mention it because I worried that if there was a person out there who actually paid attention to things I commented on, they’d think I just bitched and moaned all the time. Really, I just hold Pokemon to a higher standard. I’m paranoid =P
Anyway, yeah, as far as this series goes, it’s completely average, but I’m just glad that this episode shows a little potential. Rather than all of them being like Gary’s episode where there’s a sneak peek of the battle, they actually showed the scenario.
Honestly I feel like I’m being really antagonistic right now but in comparison to Origins these just aren’t doing it for me I guess. It’s just annoying I guess because everyone’s flipping out over these and I cannot for the life of me see how these are anything more than average
Oh no, I completely understand. Felt the same way trying to explain why I didn’t think the last episode was any good. To repeat myself, “Good animation doesn’t mean squat without substance” and really, that’s what I think it is, that and the Phantom Menace Effect. The good animation is so distracting that if you allow yourself to just succumb to the color and movement, you don’t notice that they don’t really mean anything. As far as the Phantom Menace Effect, sometimes you want something to be good so badly, you don’t really notice the flaws. Which, good for you if you can do that, I can’t.
Aw, I feel like that’s so accurately painful >.< At least The Clone Wars fixed a lot of problems the prequels had, in my humbly bumbly opinion. But yeah, I totally agree with you. It's interesting to watch what they pick to focus on but it's just not something I can really get hyped over. I hope no one thinks I'm an asshole though. I just feel like Origins set me up for higher expectations
I feel like this is on par with Origins in terms of just stuff. Origins was longer though, but this is a love letter to the entire series. Personally, I like Origins more because of the story, but Generations is up there. I like it more than the official anime for sure.
I like how these follow the games more closely than the main anime, but there really just isn’t enough here for me to rank it above Kanto-Sinnoh of the main anime.
Meh naw, everyone’s entitled to their opinions and I feel like you’re just discussing why you’re not a fan. Really, I don’t mind if people are into this, it’s just when the opinion starts getting crammed down my throat. “WHAT!? You don’t like it!? You’re an idiot! This animation is perfection!” That might be a little dramatic, but you get it xP
I’m trying not to be preachy. I might be failing 😛
I feel like this min series is building up to something, like their showcasing the main characters of each game because maybe they all make an appearance in sun/moon? idk just a thought.
We didn’t even see Ethan’s face. He wasn’t showcased
That was the best four minutes of my life. They made Ethan look like a totally badass and I’m glad other main trainers are being included. Similar to Red, we just can’t see their faces. Can I just say that Lance’s Dragonite has to be one of the most awesome things I’ve seen? Why can’t the anime be like this!
What? You’re joking, right? How in any way did they make Ethan look like a badass. It was quite the opposite.
Hiding his face and the smirk he gave. I know it was mainly focusing on Lance. Yet, they did reinvigorate my interest in him.
I just don’t see how that makes him BA. He seemed more like he was letting Lance do all the work and bumming off of him.
I kinda see where your coming from. I would have liked to see Ethan do more.
Chaos suggested him catching Red Gyarados. That would’ve been cool, especially if he used it against team rocket. Sweet revenge
The thing is Ethan is not Red and was never as badass. Making all the characters like Red is a bad move in my opinion…Ethan definitely could have been shown doing something more than just standing in a door way.
Better than the first four minutes of sun and moon?
Have those four happened yet?
I wish they expanded upon the Entra Link in BW. Imagine local multiplayer in a Pokémon game.
Maybe in the remakes. I thought we were getting something like that in ORAS Secret Bases. I just want Dream Balls to be available again, and Safari and Apricorn and Sport for that matter :/
I really want an origins where Lyra helps out the kimono girls and it ends with them on top of the tower where Ho-oh flies down
I feel like they won’t focus on any of the girls for some reason.
I hope they at least do Hilda :S
I can see them doing a character in N’s Castle, but that character will probably be Red 🙁
Why would it be Red?
Because he’s the only character they’ve REALLY focused on. If abything good, it’ll be about N and Reshiram/Zekrom and you can see Hilda standing in a doorway 🙁
And a counterpart episode with Ethan and Lugia. They can be released side by side as 1 episode
