Interview with anime producer about the upcoming genwunner pandering

>>33486701
>Q: Since these episodes are set in the Kanto region, lots of nostalgic Pokémon are going to appear, but it seems it'll be fun to compare them with the Pokémon from the Alola region as well.
>A: We definitely want you to compare and contrast the Pokémon living in all the different regions. We think scenes like the one where Nassy gets shocked at the sight of the Alolan Nassy will let even children realize once again how these regions differ from each other. Of course, lots of other Pokémon will appear as well, so have fun comparing. This is the Sun & Moon episode with the most characters in it, so I'd like you to try counting how many Pokémon there are in it.

>Q: What about Pokémon battles?
>A: The Pokémon School students are getting a hands-on experience with gym matches at the Hanada Gym, and the super intense battles between Takeshi and Kasumi's mega evolutions and Satoshi and the others' Z-Moves are an absolute must see. During the battle, Takeshi might just turn into something you remember from the games...... Also, while it's not exactly a battle, the expression of affection during the scene where Satoshi and Kentauros reunite with the Kentauros at the Okido Laboratories is just as intense as that gym match. These episodes have lots and lots of scenes that feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time, and we'd be really happy if we manage to make you enjoy the elements of both Kanto and Alola at the same time.

>Q: Now I'd like to expect other episodes crossing over with other regions or something along those lines in the future.
>A: Well, they might go to all kinds of regions as part of extracurricular classes, and they might encounter and reunite with all kinds of characters... Who knows? Please continue to support the show.

It's hardly an arc, it's just two episodes to celebrate the 20th anniversary, then they're back in Alola

>Le genwunner pandering meme XD

Iris confirmed

>>33486710
Duh, he literally says that in the interview.

>>33486703
Holy shit, Iris could finally get her return episode?

If the school thing was a giant ruse just to have the gen 7 Anime as one giant world tour arc with Satoshi going from region to region showing off his experience and travels to everyone, then I forgive em for not going for a more traditional structure with the trials replacing gyms, etc. Hell it could work if they end up making Satoshi the first champion much like the games, with a PWT arc after Alola is done with, featuring all the throwback characters.

You will not see any other old characters, trust me. Kaori is retired from VA so May is out, they won't show Max without her obviously.

Dawn I suppose has a small chance, but I really can't see Iris/Cilan and then Serena/Bonnie/Clemont all returning so soon.

>>33486720
>>33486799
I desesperately want to know what she thinks of fairy types.

>>33486701
>Q: "Sun & Moon" has a lot more comical depictions than the earlier TV series had.
>A: Each of the series have a different art style to them, but it might be true that Sun & Moon's style is overly different from all the others.
So this is confirmation SM's shitty art style isn't some radical new permanent direction, but just an SM-exclusive style that'll go away once the next gen rolls around, right?
Right?

>>33487005
I liked it when Iris' rival pointed out that Iris hating cold didn't make any sense, because dragons were also weak to dragons and she didn't have a problem with them.

>>33486703
>Nassy gets shocked at the sight of the Alolan Nassy
I wonder if it gets depressed it could've been a massive palm tree dragon but got stuck as a fat mini tree

>>33487003
They could just get a new VA for May
All nips sound the same anyway

Can we have a Johto-themed episode where Ash reunites with Lyra and Khourey? Assuming we get Johto Alolan formes or whatnot.

Because SM

>>33487394
I wanna climb inside iris's hair.

The chances of any older character appearing in SM, beyond possibly Serena since she is the last-gen girl, is probably slim to none.

You guys seriously think they're going to make the effort to have May, Dawn, Iris, Cilan, etc. all appear in SM? I very much doubt it.

>>33487417
Shit son I new that french girl was freaky, but sadomasochism makes you grow facial hair?

>>33487404
because drawing inaccuracies.

>old ash
>sideway bolts on the cheeks
>can't be mistaken for a mustache because of the shape

>new ash
>OLOLOOLOLO DOODLEZ ACROSS TEH MEMEFAEC xD
>looks like a mustache because apparently the artist was drunk and can only draw inaccurate waves
>lines are lower and closer to the mouth now because the head shape is elongated and the eyes are slightly bigger

How do you know he was specifically referring to Ash's partners? They have other ways of representing Hoenn, let alone other regions.

>Serenafags seriously believe this means she's returning
It was a canned, neutral response. Don't get your hopes up involving her for the umpteenth time.
