Pokémon Evolutions teaser trailer: new Pokémon web anime
- Thread starter Atheerios
- Start date
How dare you question the good name of Natural Harmonia Gropius.
I kinda hate the digital colour filter being used in some of them. They do that in the anime for serious arcs and it always looks like shit. Worst case scenario would be if its similar to Generations in tone, which basically meant being entirely humorless and everyone having an angry expression.

Is this not just a glorified second season to Generations? Odd that they gave it a whole new title again. I haven't seen that yet but I've heard great things about it so I may watch that before this comes out. I enjoyed Origins MUCH more than the main anime and would love a full series in the same vein, but this will have to suffice.
Seems like it. For a short series I think Generations is really good. Go for it, shouldn't take too much time to blast through all the episodes, gives a nice look at hype moments in the series and also some what-if scenarios.
They really made him lighter skinned huh... Why do they sound American in Galar lol
I guess I was right, its a Generations type deal where they're mostly humorless stories played straight with some weird digital filters for dramatic lighting.
Why is Charizard like 8 ft tall?

I'm a bit behind.....what other series had him voiced? Journeys had him right? Plus Twilight Wings? What else was there that I'm missing?
The Japanese cast is also not consistent (though to be fair it is here haha, the same VA for Leon in the anime did it here, but not in Masters...though he voices Grimsley in Masters). Different people can voice the same character. How many Peter Parkers have there been? :P
Does Peter Parker randomly become British? What's the point of the regional themes if everywhere is just USA
I guess the same thing happened with Twilight Wings but the character at least looked like himself.
Pokemon range in sizes and with Legends it's now a feature we'll finally see in the games!
You have a Skies of Arcadia character as your avatar!
This was fine I guess, I'm pretty much in the Gen 7/5 waiting room.
The artstyle they used for Leon is super weird to me, he looks off and since he was so much of the episode it was distracting lol. Also found it funny how the entire thing just kinda seemed to be about him taking a big L.

Aleks Le voices Brendan and Piers in PokeMas, not Grimsley.
Ask James Turner, he was the art supervisor on this series. Dude really likes purple colours.
Nope, it's been like this for ages. I still remember the B2W2 short where you can't unheard that Elesa is voiced by the same person as Ash once you hear it.
We knew from the beginning, but to be honest it doesn't matter much for a short like this since it didn't have enough time to show the end of the arc anyways- YouTube
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.youtu.be
looks like they went with USUM, unfortunately
I like the VA this time, but I gotta say the use of music keeps being pretty weak
Although a bit different, we already had the SM version animated with the normal anime. This gives USUM an animation too
The credits make it look like they're using the composer from the TV series dub. Make of that what you will.
I'd say that there's a significant enough difference between the anime and game that choosing to adapt original SuMo is still excusable. Plus, didn't Necrozma also show up in the anime?
the ash cartoon wasn't anything like SM. there's like 3 different versions of Lusamine: SM, USUM, and the cartoon
anyway, this short was fine, but it's suffering the same issue I had with Generations: you need to have played the games for any of it to really click. it's just a "what you saw in your head" while playing the games
The Necrozma arc was completely different in the anime, while the Nihilego arc while different still had a lot more similarities (takes place at the altar, they go to ultra space and fight Mother Beast with Lillie confronting her). I think it's fair
It's very frustrating how much nearly everything after the initial Sun and Moon release seems to be trying to make Lusamine less of a villain. Even the main anime, which generally followed the original version of the plot, had Faba firmly grasping the villain ball up until the moment the ultra wormhole opened.- YouTube

Read the Pokemon Adventures manga. It's really good and it's a proper arc from game to game.

Actually they fused the storyline of SM and USUM with Lusamine, some Lusamine's lines on Lillie from the Aether Paradise flashback and her attitude towards Lillie was from SM.
the only way to really have both, I think, is if you have the necrozma arc take place after SM. then you can have your cake and eat it without the awkardness of trying to change Lusamine's character prior to the end of SM's story
Yeah that's sort of what the main Sun and Moon anime did, but it still messed with Lusamine's character anyway and the adaptation of the Necrozma plot was far looser (they kind of fused it with the Looker plot from Sun and Moon).
Yeah and the replacement score is honestly pretty terrible.
I'd say it's a lot better here since they're letting Goldfarb remix music from the games and use some silent moments (it's nonstop in the TV series and can be super distracting/mood killing), but I generally agree even his best music lacks the kind of oomph that most Pokémon soundtracks have.
I'll be more interested to hear the OST for the later episodes since most of my soundtrack familiarity with Pokémon is from the earlier generations, and I want to hear his take on them.
These shorts are convincing me to never rewatch Generations, so I don't hurt my memory of it by finding out it doesn't hold up.
I already wasn't as enamored by Twilight Wings as others, and this series is really highlighting how these OVAs are really hurt by being not given enough runtime and not having any substance if you don't already intimately remember the details of the game events to give any context.
It's so annoying how with all the web anime they finally get the story, characters and tone of Pokemon correct with a good art style but then make them so short as to mess it up.

Twilight Wings doesn't have the same issues as Generations and this. it works well as a prequel if you played the games, and really does a lot to flesh out the characters, even if you haven't played the games
I don't see how its the "correct" tone at all. Its played as serious as possible. Its so devoid of colour and whimsy, just depressing.
Like yea the stories are overly melodramatic, but such a small part of the games which still don't go for horror anime colour grading and characters screaming.
