They all look like fun characters, but I wonder why they even need to make so many original characters when the game has plenty they can use.

Just wait, they'll find a way to shoe-horn Ash in the new one. :P

I am SUPER pumped for this, been waiting so long for them to finally retire Ash (The right way, and thankfully they did that) and give us a new MC

Honestly I'm still not sure whether I'm gonna watch this or not.

Can we please have an anime about Gloria and Marnie and other cute Pokemon girls?

I want an anime about Pokemon lesbians,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

IMO they are too many males in Pokemon, at least for my taste. But there are also a lot of cute girls. They should have their own show. I would love a CGDCT with Pokemon girls

So, without Ash, they just started making new generations like regular new Pokemon games.

Only if one of kids is Ash's child.

The hairclip in Liko's hair is a nice touch and callback to the original. Looking forward to a new generation.

If this is completely unrelated to the original I may try it since I haven't watched Pokémon in like 20 years and barely even know gen 3

Was always a Digimon kid, hope ghost game gets a sequel with another member like Rulis friend

If you seen the original Pokemon, then you can jump into Pokemon Journey's without missing a beat since it makes call backs to the original series. The problem is that its just two male with Goh being the annoying one and the female lead doesn't show up until way later in the series, so you probably won't like it. I haven't followed Pokemon as much Digimon since I stopped playing the games a while back.

I would recommend watching Pokemon XY or Pokemon Sun and Moon if you still want to give the Pokemon franchise another shot.

i was gonna say that Pokemon is one of the few shows i can watch for the monsters but its honesntly not as theyre not badass enough, i need the waifus

... then again... i always need the waifus, so yea... ill pass i guess

ill get my monster fix from Digimon and Gamera

Looks like I have a reason to finish up Pokemon Journeys now that Digimon Ghost Game is coming to a close. I'm looking forward seeing Pokemon with a new protagonist.

Looks promising, and I'm glad they got Tetsuo Yajima back as the action director.

They just can't abandon Pikachu and Charizard lol. Not that I am complaining, my boy Charizard needs more love.

Yes, they can't. Pikachu is the symbol of Pokemon.
