More Lucario shilling. You already did a fucking movie about it and had an entire arc related to it Mega Evolving, what more do you irradiated faggots want?

>>32272478
but Dawn appears in BW and Cilan meets Brock

I honestly feel bad for Mistyfags. Not like this, not like this...

>>32272487

>>32272514
Admittedly I feel a bit sorry for Misty fans too. As much as I usually mock them, I feel like this was the ultimate slap in the face and the very last chance Misty ever had of making some kind of appearance again.

>>32272496
How do you think they're gonna introduce Alolan Lucario, you fucking sperg?

>>32272525
True. That guy and the Lucario kid look nice, makes me miss the old style

>>32272510
and literally all the companions appear in BW in Ash's mind.

>mistyfags BTFO
>brockfags BTFO

Who are the guest seiyuu? Any popular seiyuu?

SM confirmed as a mistake

>>32272527
They deserve something even harsher to be honest.

Completely ignoring a character is fine and dandy but destroying any chances of her being likeable and Word of God saying that the ship was nothing but bullshit from the west would be literal perfection.

I just love how no one in Japan gives a quarter of a fuck on Misty.

I could not care less misty, but why didn't they include Brock? fuck that edgy kid.

Kek look at the Bulbagarden movie thread. Half the posts are, "Where are Brock and Misty?" and "the writers half-assed this."

I'm glad it's not a just a rehash of more genwun shit but did they really have to factor all this Alola stuff into the beginning of Ash's journey?

Post your face when movie 21 is in SM style and everyone is once again BTFO

Is everyone forgetting the SM cast themselves are now screwed out of a movie? Mallow/Lillie/Lana, etc. will probably only appear in 2 movies now this gen.

>>32272583
I would love if they actually show Brock in a training Montage but conveniently skip Misty out of the movie just to gather the salt that would come from the Mexican and Murican side of the fandom.

Who are the seiyuu? The only one I saw is Shokotan.

Also, any singer news?

>>32272478
XY ASH WAS REFERRING TO THIS MOVIE'S PIPLUP, NOT DAWN'S

>>32272599

You know, this is pretty interesting. Usually these type of retellings change only one or two things but they're going the whole mile here.

Who gives a crap? They're shit, along with their series and their artstyle.

>>32272606
HOLY SHIT

>>32272604
Ash seems to be having some sort of Gym battle in the trailer. It is quite possible Misty and Brock will still appear, just not as main characters.

Ah. So the Pokemon company learned how to make remakes from Studio Khara.

Ten bucks says that this will be used in any future flashbacks of Ash's Kanto life. And that Serena won't cameo even though she's one of Ash's childhood friends, even though a literally who with Dawn's Piplup will.

>>32272626
even better lmao

Are there any Dawn fags pissed there's a Piplup in this movie owned by a new girl? Looks like Piplup isn't associated with Dawn anymore.

I know that this sounds like a far reach, but maybe the big reveal at the end is it's all a tale spun by the Alolan classmates in a guesstimate of Ash's journey

to which Ash just goes pic related

>>32272605
Koichi Yamadera might be the old man, I'm not sure

and of course we're getting a new GETTO DAZE, no word on the ED as of yet

>>32272616

The first AG movie didn't. Blaziken appeared in the Deoxys movie though.

>>32272644
That's actually good, more chances for the Empoleon line to avoid jobbing on screen and be better represented than a cute mascot with everstone.

So any VA lists for the movie? And who does the OST?

so what gym is that in the trailer
reminds me of the laverre gym, but since ash is still using his kanto clothes there I guess it's the fuchsia gym?

fuck I'm hyped

WHERE THE FLYING FUCK IS THE ENGLISH SUBS FOR EPISODE 19?

Who are the seiyuu?

Retcons aside, the new movie looks really nice. I hope the mythical being revealed so early means that Gen 7, and the SM anime along with it, were just kind of a transitional experiment thing and there's hope for the show looking that good again.

>>32272676
Erika

>>32272674
Shinji Miyazaki's doing the music as per usual, and neither Tomioka or Sonoda are doing the screenplay - it's Yonemura

>>32272673
Still, this is the first time we've seen Piplup promoted majorly in the anime without Dawn. Man, now Dawn fans are screwed over too. I'm willing to bet if we do get DP remakes in the next few years, Dawn won't get an anime appearance either.

>>32272668
Thanks for answering! I was asking because i really want to see Primarina in this movie

are good subs kill?

post tears

/padt/ what's happening?

Wait a minute, is it possible that all that timelines autism could be real?

Why is no one posting the seiyuu list?

Misty fans on tumblr will be on suicide watch. Most of them are probably asleep now, but the backlash tomorrow will be terrible

>>32272685
Don't hold your breath, the movie could be like this because they were already working on it before the skip to SM and the Alolan movies will be a higher quality SM style for the next 3 years

>>32272687
So we might finally get to see Erika in her game outfit?

>>32272737
>a higher quality SM style
I can already feel the puke in my mouth.

>watches new trailer
Welp I wasn't expecting this. And that Marshadow.

>>32272745
ready for more memefaces

Looks like Ash still captures Charmander and Butterfree in the movie. Do you think he'll get Bulbasaur/Squirtle and Pidgeotto too?

>>32272764
You have to imagine he gets a full team if he's doing the gyms, since the goal would be the Pokemon League. But it seems like this movie has chock-full of stuff, have to wonder how long it is.

Can someone give me a rundown on the happening that's been happening regarding the anime/movie/whatever?

Some fucker on /v/ posted something cryptic about it and I figured I'd come here to ask.

Where's the OS companions?

Ummm, why is no one posting the VA list? We have Shoko and some old guy, who else is there?

>>32272778
Movie confirmed to be a complete retcon/alternate universe deal with Brock and Misty replaced by some faggot and his Lucario and some bitch and her Piplup, with the rival character being some edgetard with Inceneroar.

>>32272778
We thought it would be just a retelling of Ep. 1 and 2. Instead, it's a whole new origin for Ash, with original companions and rival, who all have non-Kanto mons and there is an off chance that XY and this movie are their own thing, due to being so self-contained and similar in design themselves.

>>32272800
OS fans on suicide watch.

I don't think Misty fans will ever live this one down. Felt like their "last chance" to see Misty in any type of role in the anime ever again...and they just got screwed.

So XY is finally confirmed non-canon?

>>32272778
They're doing an anniversary movie and replacing the companions and rival with original characters.

/vp/ is happy because anti-genwun sentiment is strong here but this probably means most casuals aren't going to bother with it.

>>32272745
>He doesn't want a well shaded and possibly crisp Doraemon/ Summer Wars Pokemon Movie

>>32272818
XY confirmed best canon. The one where Ash actually wins his badges in Kanto instead of getting them out of pity or accident.

>>32272806
>>32272814
It's just a movie, though.

Won't things return to how they've always been after the movie?

Or are you saying that this is basically the confirmed point of total-reboot that will restart the entire anime continuity? Is there any indication that such a thing is the case?

>>32272818
At the very least it's more likely that the movie is some kind of alternate timeline. Just chill, superhero movies do this all the time, and even Pokemon does it: few people ever complain that the games, manga, and anime have different continuity.

>>32272814
wait, is the XY anime it's own thing? Like disconnected from the regions before?

misty found dead in miami

>>32272801
Fairly confident Incineroar edge-kun is Mamoru Miyano

>>32272836
No, the entire regular anime is all in continuity, even BW and SM. Don't let anyone here tell you otherwise.

>>32272845
Sauce?

>>32272830
it doesn't really matter since this is how kids today will know Ash's origin, no one over 20 cares about the original series.

>>32272836
No. I have no idea why this idea is being thrown around but I assume it's probably some serena/amourfag related shit.

>>32272830
Probably not, but if they're doing a movie for nostalgiafags then shitting on everything we know and remember is not the way to go about it. Even though it's unlikely to have any bearings on the main anime and is the second movie to be explicitly non-canon (the first being one of the Victini ones)

>>32272830
No. As you said, movies are their own thing and don't interfere with the anime main story.

Though, XY was suspiciously disconnected from previous series.

>>32272849
just listen to the trailer

>>32272863
And the others are? I only know Joy is Shokotan.

>>32272847
Eh, continuity in the anime is a huge can of worms. With Ash not aging and all that.

>>32272857
Cilan still appeared and met Bonnie/Clemont, it's obvious the main anime is all in one continuity even if the writers barely reference the past anymore.

>>32272853
why would anyone assume this movie is for nostalgiafags? i realize people on 4chan are out of touch but you gotta think a little bit beyond the bubble. this is to reintroduce the series to japanese children who will actually buy tickets and see it in theatres, not baka gaijin who never got over misty not appearing for over a decade.

>>32272879
It's the 20th anniversary of the anime. Some of the parents will be people who watched it when they were kids.

Only Miyano is that recognizable sorry.

Has there ever been a bigger "F you" to original trio fans since the beginning of AG? I seriously can't think of any other time they were screwed over like this.

Coincidence?

>>32272901
Yeah, but the main audience is still the Japanese schoolchildren who watch the anime on tv and won't torrent OS to learn how Ash's adventure started. So the Jews at TPC make a movie with a new beginning for Ash, the kids watch it, and their parents pour their ¥ into TPC's pockets.

I would have rather see something like Erika and Lt. Surge as travel companions if they were replacing Misty/Brock.

>>32272958
Erika as a travelling companion in her game outfit would have made my dick happy. Instead we get another shitty Piplup. (though hopefully this one won't be a literal faggot like Dawn's was)

>sees travelling companion VAs
>they're some tarentos signed to Stardust
What does this mean?

This is the story of the duo's "meeting" and "promise".
This is the creation of the 20th anniversary movie!

Pocket Monsters, or "Pokémon" for short:
Mysterious lifeforms that hide many secrets.

There are still many things we don't know about their ecology.

Even today,
Pokémon Trainers continue their adventures
with the aim of encountering Pokémon never before seen...

Satoshi, a boy living in Masara Town, greeted the morning of his 10th birthday, the day he could become qualified to become a Pokémon Trainer. Satoshi's heart was filled with a desire for Pokémon he has never seen before and a world he has never seen before, but while he was meant to be given a Pokémon that would become his partner at the Okido Laoratories, he ended up severely oversleeping, and all that was left for him was a single Pikachu, a Pokémon that did not get attached to humans.
"Do you hate me? I like you!" Even though the two were at odds with one another, their friendship deepened little by little, and as they looked up at the legendary Pokémon Houou that flew through the sky on the day they set off, Satoshi and Pikachu swore an oath as they held one of its Rainbow Feathers:
"Let's go meet it together one day!"

And thus, Pikachu and Satoshi, who set off on his journey to become the world's greatest Pokémon Master, end up meeting the Trainers Makoto and Soji on their way before getting told a legend concerning Houou.
"Those who, guided by the Rainbow Feather, meet with Houou, shall become the Heroes of the Rainbow."
Satoshi and the others end up getting guided by Marshadow, a mysterious Pokémon that had been lurking in Satoshi's shadow without anyone realizing, and make their way to Mount Tensei, where Houou lives, but a strong enemy appears before them. Will the duo manage to reach Houou?! In order for them to fulfill the promise they swore on the day the departed, the two of them now begin an adventure that will last until they become "true partners"!

>>32272971
then tell us who they are

I can't tell,but is that SM Team Rocket or XY team rocket?

Has anyone noticed that Bonji's hat is similar to that worn by Gen 1 Red?

>>32272981
Some actors named Shiori Sato and Kanata Hongou. They seem to be quite popular given that they have a ton of followers on Twitter and Instagram.

>>32272979

What the fuck even is this movie

>People complaining about things being "rettconned" when it was clearly said on Oha that it was an original story

Does not compute

If they totally btfo Misty and Brock into oblivion maybe they will finally have the balls to replace Ash nah

>>32273130
Dude, what? It literally shows Ash and Pikachu meeting for the first time. It's a blatant alternate universe thing.

Sinnoh League Semi-Finals! Enter Darkrai!!!
First broadcast: August 26, 2010

>>32273134
doesn't this movie confirm that they think ash is the most important character? it's not like brock or misty have been relevant for years anyway, removing them means nothing to the current audience of the show

Maybe now they'll give Ash an actual gym battle against Giovanni.

To whoever used a monkey's paw to wish away Misty, congrats, we lost Brock too

>>32273146
Not even Tobias bullshit did as much damage to the anime fanbase as the Kalos league did.

>>32273165
It's quite possible they'll still be in the movie as Gym leaders though, we might see a montage of them and the others.

>>32273041
But serena and serena redesign, and amour are great.

>>32273165
Worth it, to be honest.

>>32273146
But Tobias was a woprthy opponent who legitimately could not have been defeated. Alan was some edgefag with an overleveled Charizard with a sharked HP stat who should have lost.

Do you think Misty fans will hate this new girl for "replacing Misty" like they did with May back in 2003? If they do it proves they haven't changed in 15 years.

Now some people are acting like Brock and Misty not being there is a personal attack to them, there it goes the pity I had for them.

>>32273189
Fuck off Scott.

>>32273171
It helped that with him having a Darkrai, people were already prepared to have Ash lose, if anything it was a relief that he managed to faint it and the Latios. Kalos finals was pure bullshit.

Bonji is Arata Furuta

I'm oddly shocked by it too. Honestly I joked about the writers ignoring Misty but never truly expected it to happen.

I half expected them to ignored, but never thought for a second they'd replace them entirely with literally whos.

I don't get why people are so assblasted. I too loved the OG and think are the best Pokémon seasons along with Misty and Brock being the best companions but these new characters look great. I can't wait for the movie

>>32273233
Alright everyone. I guess we need a new ship name.

>>32273233

This really puts into perspective that if May's design wasn't as good as it was, she wouldn't have stood out like this new Piplup girl in coming after Misty.

>>32273233
That's what pisses me off the most. The most hype thing about the movies is the waifus. Last year we had a girl with a cameltoe so great it's a wonder her pants didn't get her pregnant, and the year before that we had Jesus' mother with the most perfect breasts you've ever seen.

This year we've got some literally who and the same Nurse Joy we've had for the last 20 years.

I almost feel like it's karma for all the trolling Misty fans did for years. They went around hating May, Dawn, etc. and claiming the anime sucked after Misty left.

So everything they said over the last 15 years has finally come back to bite them in the ass. What goes around comes around. It's called karma, and the Misty fans are getting their just desserts.

I know that and I'm not one of them. But as I said, this is a "genwun" movie that basically has nothing to do with 1st gen, or about as much to do with it as any other movie. And if you're saying this movie is a ploy to get people to watch the anime, they're going to be incredibly disappointed when they watch this, and then watch the SM anime by comparison.

If they create a series of well-written cohesive movies I can live with them rewriting the character history.

Someone give me the tl;dr on this 20th anniversary movie. Is it considered canon? What is the purpose of it existing? Also if known, what happened to the original cast of characters?

>>32273806
Misty/Brock are dead. That's all you need to know

>>32273806
No it's not canon, other than to possible sequels, it's a different timeline where Ash gets closer to Ho-oh and is able to collect one of his Rainbow Wing which leads to him eventually becoming the Rainbow Hero, meaning he takes an entirely different path. It's purpose is for lel xd genwun!!!!!!

>>32273806
It's either an alternate canon, or it's the same canon with an unspecified time of occurrence for plot convenience purposes. We still don't enough to be totally sure. I would lean towards the latter.

>>32273806
Not considered canon to the main series, probably will be an alternate dimension since they're in the games right now.

I remember seeing the first movie in the theater. Being able to appear as a guest voice actress in one of these Pokémon movies is like a dream for me!

I will do my best to play the role of Makoto, whose mental age might be even higher than my adult self.
