Red looks so lame!
In the games, he looks like that main badass and the coolest character ever, but here, he is even more of a break than Ash! xD

It's based on the first game. They should really adapt the pokemon adventures manga though.

I dont think you get what I mean too. The Pokemon Special I refer to is the manga, which also called Pokemon Adventure or Pokespecial.

I used the 'Adaptation' label on the same logic as titles such as Danganronpa or White Album, which are adapted from their games but have a manga adaptation. The label is used to link an anime/manga together.

I hope it gets good ratings because if it does, Ash/Satoshi will be gone for good and we'll get a full and definitive Pokemon experience in the future. The artstyle is a bit seinen-ish though so they could be gearing it more to us older fans.

Oh god the bit with the gameboy made me so nostalgic (the music and everything)

I just wish they made Pokemon for a more older audience, with darker themes and all that jazz, oh and a protagonist that is not stuck at 10 years old forever. I shall wait for the day.

Isn't the "Adaptation" relation supposed to mean that the anime is a direct adaptation of the manga, or vice versa? The only relation it could have with PokéSpe is "Alternative Version" or something like that, but that's not allowed between manga/anime. I think in this specific case, it's very misleading to label them as adaptation, because lots of PokéSpe fans have been and still are waiting for an anime adaptation. Also, in the trailer it said that it's an "original animation".
Based on your logic, it could also be marked as an adaptation of this or this, which would be just as wrong.

Seriously all this Red> Ash crap is only because you project yourselves on the character while playing the games. Did Red/Blue/Yellow/........ have any personality on their own? Hey Ash is silly, i admit but that's how it supposed to be. You don't want Goku SS4 to appear in Pokemon now do you?

Also it's interesting because the MC gets beaten but gets back up again and again. That's the theme........if he won the battles similar to how we did in games it would get boring very easily.


The anime is really just a glorified advertisement for the games without real story or progression, and Ash is the perma-noob plot device that keeps the circus show going. Hell, it's even bad for an advertisement show considering you have actual decent stuff like Beyblade/Yugioh/Digimon. And Ash is also made to be a projection self-insert type.

I really hope this turns out to be good, and that it's successful. Would love an anime based on Pokémon that doesn't include the crackhead Ash and that's somewhat somewhat exciting to watch.

Seiyuu info:

Red - Takeuchi Junko (Uzumaki Naruto - Naruto)
Professor Oak - Mori Katsuji (Garma Zabi - MS Gundam)
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I haven't seen Naruto subbed, but I like her voice. It should be good.

I still find it hard to watch Pokemon subbed, but I'll manage.

I shall always be amused by this. How long before the "Red as Naruto/a ninja" jokes appear on the Internet? If Green ends up being Sasuke, it will simply be perfect.

And considering Takeuchi Junko's roles, possibly Red will be a hot-blooded character. I wonder how that would play out.

I think a lot of people will be mad considering Red is not as 'baddass' as made out to be in the games.

He appeared more frequently in early Best Wishes series, giving commands to Team Rocket (who were actually competent at that time), and then personally later in Best Wishes Season 2 for the final two episodes of the Meloetta arc, where he played a significant role and also met Ash face to face.

Late reply is late.

From what I've seen, a lot of people are accepting of how he looks design wise. Very little are complaining probably because they're too happy to see this exist. As someone who likes the fan version, I don't mind he doesn't look like that. I'm more mad at that they chose the FRLG design...

All that is left is Lance and Red's mom (and the random grunts, I suppose). Having heard all the voices, I'm going to make some dangerous judgements here.

That is... All the voices except Giovanni (Sakaki)'s don't fit. Red and Green are the worst of the bunch to me.

Red - Too much like Naruto and/or Takuya. I got nothing against Junko, but man she wouldn't be my first choice for Red. I'll get used to it, but it'll never be the definite Red voice for me. Not distinct enough.

Green - Not Sasuke. But... he sounds like an adult. Did his balls drop a bit too early? His seiyuu didn't even try a kid's voice and it sounds completely off. Who thought that was okay? The biggest disappointment since the designs.


Brock (Takeshi) - It's kinda weird choice, but he's mixed. His design doesn't match his voice, but Sugita Tomokazu does a good job providing a different sounding voice. He would probably be better off as a different gym leader, not Brock. Then again, maybe I'm too used to Ash's Brock's voice and will wait until I see the anime before deciding.

Prof. Oak - Sounded too young. They did match his voice to his design, but it's, again, another voice probably better suited for one of the younger professors. Prof. Oak should sound like a mix of young and old and his seiyuu didn't do it in his clip.

Giovanni - While not menacing enough in his clip, he has the best potential so far. He's the only one I'm interested in hearing how he'll turn out. The seiyuu is capable of at least 2 different ranges, so he could pull off a great Giovanni. I guess it'll depend on what the anime gives him.

Despite my dislike of the seiyuu choices, the battle animation looked top notch. I hope it stays that way because I love me some amazing battles. I wonder if they'll have people telling us every move and what the battlers are doing like in Ash's anime...

They're doing that because his original [game] design, while the first, is similar (seeing as this anime came second) to what Ash/Satoshi wore in the first season. Stupid yes, but they don't want people to confuse them.

The ONLY thing that pisses me off is the fact that Red's Seiyuu is Takeuchi. I like her voice, but... I just can't see it fitting with Red - not the fanmade, badass version. Just... Red. I don't like it.

Other than that, my body is completely ready for next week.
