So is the basically the Eva rebuild of the anime? also why is

>>32959739
We need a movie series about this Ash.

While the one we see in SM should fuck off to comedy hell.

Is this Japan's Tommy Wiseau?

>>32959755
No we need new movies for each generation based on the games, no ash faggotry allowed, only game canon characters.

>>32959755
Comedy relief protagonist

>>32960325
They should've just made the series like that.
Seasons 1-3 for each gen. The current gen will consists of the protagonists doing what they do in the games to promote them.

Salt. Pikachu and Ash are the anime protagonists, stars and beloved characters. Nobody cares about your self inserts that mostly appeal to man children.

>>32959755

So does the movie have any connection to the Sun/Moon series or is it just a standalone non-canon AU?

>>32960325

Ash IS a game canon character, he's Red with a different name

"Ash" is even one of the default name options for Red

>>32961063
>standalone non-canon
This.

>>32961069
As well as "Satoshi" in the Japanese versions.

I just don't understand why they want the Ashnime to be bad. They could still have a great marketing engine and shit like that if they focused on fleshing out the story, characters and battles out a little more. What fucking skin is it off their nose? They just don't care because the feces they have now works. Pretty much sums up all of society. It's our own fault as consumers that crap like this is allowed.

the fuck happened to satoshi's eyes

>>32961306

They became brown in BW and have stayed that way since.

Nice joke.

>>32960392
Jimmy's special should've been the actual thing for Johto, and we should've went from there

According to Rica Matsumoto, Sun/Moon is being approached with the idea that Ash had a journey in Kanto and then came straight to Alola.

I don't believe you.

>>32960392

They have the specials for stuff like that, the main anime's purpose is advertising all the new Pokemon, characters, and features that are in the new games.

It's been doing that job successfully for 20 years now, so they're not going to stop.

Friendly reminder this movie will take place in the game's timeline

>>32959739
Ash's eyes are like that cause he's from Kanto
Maybe people from Sinnoh have different eyes?

>>32962013

How can Ash and Gary exist in the same universe as Red and Blue?

>>32962088
because pallet town have more than two houses now ?

Ash has never gotten humiliated this badly

>>32962225
Pokemon Origins was a mistake

>>32962225
Did ryhorn just ohko jolteon with an electric move? Holy shit, they don't care AT ALL.

>>32962285
Volt Absorb didn't exist in Gen 1.

>>32962416

Neither did Mega Evolution

>>32962416
Fair enough. I guess if the jolteon is sufficiently low level and the rhyhorn is high enough that base 30 special can get it done, then.

>>32961069
Not sure why this is correct. Wasn't he playing blue version in the first episode??

>>32962225
At least red won the league after this. Also Ash's team got carried in the kakis final by pikachu because they were all fucking jobbers.

>>32962849

Red didn't participate in any league tournament, he just fought the E4 and then the Champion

>>32962878
Exactly.
Ash is too shit to even get to battle an E4.

Only if his wife and their child go with him.

So Ash doesnt catch Squirtle/Bulbasaur/Pidgeotto in this? Lame

>>32962951

No, the only Pokemon Ash gets in the movie are Pikachu, Butterfree (which he releases to mate), and Charizard.

So he ends the movie with only Pikachu and Charizard.

>>32962987

Even lamer. Let him at least catch... Diglett, or Tangela, or Lapras, or SOMETHING that isn't the relentless charizard/pikachu hype machine.

>>32962951
>people actually cared about Pidgejobber
I'm just glad they referenced Butterfree.

>>32962951
>>32962987
>>32963030
>>32963606
Sucks. I was hoping based on Blastoise and Venusaur appearing in merch that Ash would catch and evolve them, maybe same for Pidgeotto.

>>32962088
Well Ash definitely looks WAY more different than Red as of now,
Gary was basically ejected out of this movie, so I doubt he'd show up in a game anways, Cross is more likely.

>>32962064
Paul's eyes seemed pretty Kantonian though

So yes, the idea seems to be that Ash traveled through Kanto, then came to Alola. SM Ash never went to Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, or Kalos. he's only traveled through Kanto prior to SM.
