Pokemon Black and White 2: Introduction Movie

You know, there is something very wrong when 5 minutes of footage from a trailer is better than over 600 episodes of proper television. And by better, I mean can't compare to it in any way, shape or form. Yes, this one trailer was like a day at the sweet shop when your 5 except for Pokemon fans. If you have seen this and don't know other wise, let me tell you something. THIS IS NOT OR WILL BE A PROPER SERIES!!!!!! (well, so far. I hope so but . . . yeah, I don't think we'll get one). Anyway, the sole purpose of this is to advertise the game and get you excited for Black and White 2 and if it doesn't do that it means 1 of 2 things:
1. You don't like Pokemon.
2. I would write the other reason but I'm afraid people won't appreciate it.

Story: 7
It doesn't have a story, it just shows scenes which will most likely be in the game. Probably the only reason as to why I gave it a 7 is because of what I already know about the games plot. What scenes it shows you though give you an example of what it will be like: going up against gym leaders, Team Plasma returns etc..

Art: 10
Everything looks great. Animation is fantastic (maybe even better than the movies) with everything moving smoothly, colours look like they do in Ken Sugimori's artwork and the effects look good too.

Sound: 10
What is this madness? Rock remixes of my favourite Pokemon themes? Sign me up. While giving it a classic feel, the music makes everything more upbeat and dynamic so the trailer is that much more awesome. The voice actors did great jobs as well, with Hiroshi Kamiya as N being my favourite.

Character: 6
No character development what so ever. It just shows who some the new characters are (even the grunt enemy's got a spotlight). Maybe the only reason why I gave it 6 is because I liked the characters from the first game.

Enjoyment: 10
As I said earlier, this is solely to advertise the new game so you will buy it and on me, this campaign worked. I would have bought it anyway without watching this just because it's not a remake but now, roll on release date. I want this now!

Overall: 10
None of these scenes will probably ever make it into the game but who cares, it was awesome.

This might sound weird or maybe not at all but i like this SO MUCH BETTER than the anime right now...
I really wish that they will make THIS into an anime.
I mean i finally see something excited and amazing of Pokemon again!
Just by looking at this makes me happy!
The characters really seem cool! the action scenes are so awesome! and i bet the story is epic.
In any case if i compare this 5 minute trailer with the series, then this is so much better.
