Why don't they just adapt the manga already.. I hope this is just something to test if it would be successful(a pokemon concept without ash as a TV series), if it is, then maybe they will adapt the manga?

Maybe, but they claimed it to be a special solely celebrating the release of X, Y and the later Z on 3DS.

I remember the first time I played a Pokemon game using my Gameboy I think it was Silver it was in Japanese so I didn't understand a word written there so whenever I came across a Pokemon I just ran away. I think they should really make a TV series with Red as the main character and don't make it too childish put some blood and boobs in there I think it's gonna be awesome!!

I'd watch this lol
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

It's a nice change of pace, considering the main show does get boring at times(The new arc seems really boring).

Since I've practically seen Pokemon my whole life, might as well watch it.
The one thing that I'd love to see is a lesbian yandere.

damn nearly shed a tear at hearing the old theme tune, made me remember the days of training chamander into charizard. Am seriously excited about this even more so than most of the anime i've watched so far from nostalgia alone,will be praying the ratings are insanely good so they at least consider a series.

I thought this was a full series! oh well, better than nothing. I haven't watched pokemon in years so it will be interesting to see this :D will be awesome to see the kanto region again. Maybe the ratings will be sky high and we can get a full series, fingers crossed.

(sigh) I outgrew the whole Pokemon phase since seeing the fifth film, and I moved on. I thought that the franchise would die down... but it's still alive?! ... Can't argue there.

So you outgrew the franchise and you could not bear the thought that some fans do not and there may also be new fans for the franchise?
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.

Holy shit, I love this.

The art style is obviously targeted towards older fans... those who actually grew up with the games.

Look at this Brock!

Oh like I actually give a sh*t for every time I hear about a continuing franchise. Actually no, I don't really care if a franchise (of something I used to like but now don't care that much anymore) still running or new fans are made everyday. I'm not against anyone that's getting into pokemon or still is a fan... 'cause I moved on!

Are you one of those typical Gen1fags? You don't just simply move on. If you were a fan of Pokemon at all, you would want to watch this. Why? You can tell by the art and animation direction that it's directed at the older fans. Look at the Brock comparison on the bottom of page 3.

Red still needs to be voiced by Rie Kugimiya and he will be perfect.

Oh, I think Ash is superior to Red.

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.

Red isn't who I played in the games. Red is the guy from Pokemon Special. And in every way that could possibly matter, he's WAY better than Ash.

Exactly. I don't see why people expect something "badass" from the Red in this anime. He is still not the same character as in Pokéspe. Being based on the game character means nothing, as Ash is also based on the same character. For all we know, we might get an even worse protagonist than Ash.

Just checked this anime's page on MAL. Someone should remove the Pokéspe adaptation from there, it has nothing to do with it. Red looks different, most obviously the hair and the eyes. The Red in Pokéspe had a Poliwihrl way before he even got his Bulbasaur (not a Charmander). Green never had a Blastoise. And as far as I know it's nowhere stated that it's based on the manga. Both the manga and this anime are based on the game.

Yup, should get rid of that. Even though, it's a manga, it could also work for alternate setting... but I guess that probably isn't going to happen.

Legend of Thunder? The other Pokemon Chronicles bits? Still, there's not enough spin-offs if there's always gonna be that one protagonist.

You can ask the DB mods to make the necessary change by posting a change request here at this thread: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=140439

Ah this is so hype! That animation... *jizzzz*
But I think I should put my hopes down a little since it says "special program". Really hope this would be atleast 25 episode though. And if better a Gold/Silver sequel where Gold is the protagonist :D
But we even see Charizard and Blastoise in it, they wont make Charmander involve into Charizard just in a single special right? I hope not.

Btw this isnt an adaption of the Pokemon manga isnt it? Why ppl put the Pokemon Special as the adaption of it in the database?

Or better yet, make an anime based on pokemon special manga...
