kalos happened

For some reason I find it more charming. I don't hate it. But I haven't watched the show in years so my opinion doesn't really matter too much I guess.

the new art style looks much better

>>28467903

It's the same piece of shit kid we've had for the last 50 years.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOT THE FRLG HAT NOOOOOOOO

>>28467903
Appealing to autistic kids with Reddit-Moves.

>>28467903
They gave it to the YW animators.

It actually sort of reminds me of ghibli. Ponyo in particular. IDK why

Omg what's all this Alola hate? It's just Ash acting goofy trying to replicate some z-move.
An actually funny concept that surpasses by far everything the Pokémon anime has proposed up to now.

>>28467903
I prefer XY, but i don't dislike it. I just need to see it in motion before judging anything.

>>28467903
Reminds me of One Piece

>>28468561

I thought this at first too, but the faces from some of the characters I've seen from that series look better.

I want to say the new face reminds of newer anime for kids, but I also get vibes of older comedy anime for kids.

>>28470659
The softer hair and goofy grin is lifted straight from Keita's design. There's really no getting around that.

Oh, it's not the only series that's been dragged through the Yokai Watch filter, check out the new Digimon.

>>28470747
Hopefully this means he'll get fanservice

I simultaneously love the art style while also scared as fuck for what this means. I want edgier pokemon not some fucking slice of life bullshit.

pokemon needed a change and I hope this comes with many

>>28467903
Ash's face got flattened when Pikachu sat on it.

>>28468561
OLM does both the Pokemon and Yokai Watch anime.

I'm surprised that those two franchises haven't crossover yet.

>>28468926
We 2046 now

>>28470967
I'm sure things will get pretty edgy when Ash gets abducted by Ultra Beasts and they torture him for whatever reason.

>>28467903
>Hat doesn't even look like a Pokeball anymore

Dropped.

Keita has something about his face that still makes him look cute though. Maybe it's the clenched teeth I don't like.

Level 5 is also good at shota

>>28470852

I saw that, but Digimon was already kind of there with at least one of the series. In a way they still also managed to look all right.

>>28470862
>>28471156

I wouldn't mind either of these

wait ash gets a z bracelet ?

Pokemon just went full Yokai Watch on us

what the fuck is even the timeline

ash should be in school already, how long has he been out catching pokemon?

>>28467903
New writers and style? Its a new region maybe they wanted to cut on the seriousness for some reason.

They improved the artstyle is what happened

I must be high or something but the art style reminds me of this.

According to Sakurai, TPC is very finicky about how pokemon get portrayed in other media and can be a pain to work with

Mindbroken after walking in on Alain spitroasting Greninja with Charizard X while Serena schlicked in the corner.

>>28472122
That's true, though. They're marketing towards a younger audience to compete with shows like Yokai Watch and Buddyfight

>>28467903
It's a whole new place; with a brand new attitude.

But, you do have to still catch them all. FYI.

Are we sure that's the actual artstyle and not just promo art? The little screenshot on the side on the leak picture looks a little different in the artstyle.

You don't know much about artstyles, do you?

Sounds like something that would happen in a Yugioh anime.

yokai watch

>>28473625
Yokai Watch didn't invent them, but it sure as shit is an incredibly popular series with all of these elements.
