The Pokemon Company has a budget for a secondary animated series to commemorate all the games released thus far, however it can only run for up to 24 episodes.


Some restrictions do apply
>You may not push headcanon such as familial relationships between certain characters or how certain Pokemon behave that the company hasn't explicitly expressed themselves (i.e. Hypno does lead children astray but it doesn't tell what it does to them)
>Certain vices are frowned upon. Visual fanservice is fine, however exploitative sexual behavior is discouraged. Tobacco, alcohol and firearm use are also discouraged.
>Pokemon do not talk unless the setting has no humans (Mystery Dungeon is one example, but any setting where only Pokemon are onscreen is fine too). However, Rotomdex can translate Pokemon speech and Pokemon who can use telepathy are acceptable.
>Violence can only be as intense as Origins or what the games imply. Anything further than that is a penalty.
>Anime only characters may not be used unless your spin-off is related to the anime canon.

Freedoms
>No Pokemon related series is off the table, however cross-canon is discouraged for all but Ranger + Mainline.
>You may disregard the timeline as you see fit if mainline characters or settings are used
>Old game trainers are allowed to use or explore newer Pokemon as long as it suits their style (i.e. you can give Skyla a Talonflame, but you can't let Misty use Nihilego)
>Implied Pokemon gender is fine, even for Legendaries or Ultra Beasts. Outright stating gendered pronouns to refer to them isn't. Exceptions being if a Pokemon has a family.


For every rule you break, your episode count is cut in half. You can't go below 6. If you break no rules, you're allowed 2 extra episodes.

What kind of series do you make?

pretty much Origins from there on out
N gets Reshiram

Torn between slice-of-life and Mystery Dungeon. Can we split the difference and do an ErlSana Playhouse adaptation?

21 Independent episodes based off of different Pokemon categories and the relationships the groups would have with each other. 18 for each respective type; 1 for starter pokemon; 1 for the less influential legendaries; 1 for the big legendaries and then the final 3 is a small arc that focuses on a small plot relating between the focal Pokemon of the previous 21 episodes.

A series of standalone episodes dealing with more mundane events of the Pokemon world, rather than those revolving around the wunderkind protagonists or other major characters like rivals or regional champions, or major operations of the villain teams. A bit like Generations in format, but different in focus. Less central named characters could still make appearances, like let's say Bill or Mr. Briney or the professors. You could frame episodes around something like the television companies of the Pokemon world doing various programmes, like interviewing somewhat famous people about their work (like those mentioned) or ordinary people, like Bug Catchers spending the day in the woods, or Bird Keepers training their Pokemon, or the activities of Triathletes/Swimmers. Or do a documentary-type episode that focuses more on the Pokemon rather than human characters.

Throw in some action for good measure by including sports programme-style coverage of some official league-sanctioned battles.

A series following a young Lt. Surge and his Pikachu in "the war" in PokéVietnam, fought, of course, entirely with Pokémon.

Series ends with him finding a Thunderstone, evolving Pikachu in Raichu, and moving to Vermillion City in Kanto and opening a gym instead of returning to America after the war ends.

There's no other correct answer other than this. Season one would be Red & Yellow arc (but the Yellow arc would be cut down a lot), have a cliffhanger at the end to set up Gold & Silver to get the hype going for a second season which will hopefully be given a larger amount of episodes.

You can use them, but you'll be cut in half each vice. Don't need to see Gladion getting raped by his mom at gunpoint while she sucks on a stogie or anything like that. Put your degeneracy on a leash.

Call out genwun pandering all you want but honestly, I would remake Origins and give it the pacing it deserves

Ep 1 - Intro to Brock
Ep 2 - Mt. Moon/Misty
Ep 3 - SS Anne
Ep 4 - Lavender Town
Ep 5 - Celedon City
Ep 6 - Bike Path to Safari Zone
Ep 7 - Team Rocket Takeover
Ep 8 - Cinnibar Island
Ep 9 - Giovanni
Ep 10 - Victory Road to Elite 4
Ep 11 - Champion Battle
Ep 12 - Mewtwo

Visually experimental and well animated series that does one off stories like origins or chronicles.

>>32863765
>Experimental
So it'll be like 12/24 short films, each with a different visual style? If so, I'm interested.

24 episode series based on the Pokeathelon.

>>32860618
An anime based on the stories of BW and BW2 should have N as the main character since he was the protagonist of those games.

>>32863793
Pretty much. Ideally each would have a different director who could do whatever as long as it abided by OP's rules.

These or
>SoL about a guy/girl living with his partner pokemon in an average urban setting. Battles do happen, but aren't the main focus like the Ashnime. Episodes would be about the protagonist overcoming daily obstacles with the help of people and pokemon,
OR
>Battle School; basically take SM's premise, make the characters and setting original, add actual 3+ episode arcs, and have a tangible goal that isn't just "BEST POKEMON TRAINER EVUR!!11!!!

Ok, I will take a 12 episode adaption of Chibbikko Bitch XY and other stuff of girls using "The Trick", Anything With the Girls getting taken advantage of at Pokéstar Studios and maybe the one with the Hex Maniac and her abusive Trap Boyfriend.

Why this? Seems like an arbitrary limitation.

Adapting 7 volumes of material into 24 episodes is perfectly doable.
>>
>>32864904
Well a lot of parts of mangas get cut from the anime adaptation and, in my opinion, there wouldn't be much value lost if you cut out pretty much all of yellow except for the ending. It would be kinda like an epilogue for the first season, about 4 or 5 episodes long.

Slice of life character-driven cartoon about a small country town in Hoenn. The show is focused mainly on how Pokemon interact with the humans in their daily lives, from the helpful (Staryu helping water plants etc) to the not so helpful (wild Tailow eating crops ect). Follows about 4 major characters and 10 or so secondary ones, with firm episode-to-episode continuity as they tackle problems and develop their relationships. Very little battling. Near the end of the series, a "game protagonist" character comes through and everyone gets excited to have a real gym challenger visiting their town, leading to a series of battles in which the protagonist effortlessly bodies everyone's teams of 1-3 unevolved shitmons, including one of the main characters who prided himself on being the best trainer in the village. The final arc is him regaining his confidence in time for the annual town battle festival, which is the final episode of the show, culminating in a climactic battle with his childhood rival, another one of the PoV characters. The episode ends on the final clash and the winner is never revealed.

Plot ideas:
• A storm is coming (implied to be simultaneous to Kyogre's rampage near Sootopolis), and everyone has to help out to get the berry harvest before it's ruined.
• A mass migration of Zigzagoon causes all manner of mischief as they overrun the town.
• A mystery in which a villager is attacked and a family heirloom stolen, following all the characters as they search for clues.
• One of the PoV characters thinks he catches a glimpse of a legendary Pokemon in the woods, but can't convince anyone it's true. Despite attempts, they don't find the legendary Pokemon, but they do find a footprint they've never seen before, causing them to believe.

TL;DR the daily life of NPCs
>>
>>32865374
I'm assuming it's the standard 20 minutes. Shokugeki no Soma covered a little over 7 volumes in its first 24 episodes.

So many routes to take!

1. An adaptation of either RBY or BW. Both boy and girl protagonists would make appearances, with both playing important roles to the plot. Added characterization to the main characters.

* For RBY, finish gyms at around episode 16, then have a tournament arc for Victory Road/Elite Four. If anyone has read Festival of Champions, something similar to that

* For BW, strong characterization should be main focus.

2. Festival of Champions-like story, focusing only on a Victory Road/Elite Four type Tournament Arc with characters from all 7 generations; delves into backstory of Red/Blue

3. Story into the Trainer journey of Prof. Oak

Mainichi no TRAINER GIRL/Female Trainer Misadventures
Random 5-7 minute skits about the everyday lives and sometimes intersecting lives female Pokemon trainers. Major ones like Diantha, Hilda or Lorelei are covered but sometimes there are episodes about Picnickers, Rangers, Lasses and even Hex Maniac get a shot in the spotlight..
>>
>>32865374
24 minutes max.
The rest of the timeslot is for openings, endings and commercials.
