The most kino piece of animation from 2020 came from Pokemon

How do we feel about this?

The lack of Guzma is digusting.

Im still not buying your low effort rehashes

>from Pokemon
From Rie Matsumoto.
She's a genius.
Everything Rie touches turns to gold.

I like this girl

Pokemon is unironically the best anime franchise right now. The TV show, movies, OVAs, and random shorts like the OP's link are all top notch.

She's overrated as hell.

It's the only decent thing that's come from Pokemon the last 3 generations.

yeah she's great

>they only put effort into mobage shit
Really makes me think

Always follow the money

Pretty Kino. Was going to talk shit bc red was not there but he is. Red is the best.10/10

What even is Pokemon anymore? Who are these people? What is this advertising?

>the N and Hilbert stare down
>Hilda walking with Cheren and Bianca by her side transitioning to Nate with older Cheren and Bianca by his side
Actually kino

>What even is Pokemon anymore?
Same thing it's always been.
>Who are these people?
All characters from the games.
>What is this advertising?
Pokemon.

>What even is Pokemon anymore?
Same it's always been, but with less effort and more moneygrabbing than ever before.
>Who are these people?
Gym leaders, E4, champions, companions, protagonists, shadow appearance by evil team leaders (from what I can tell, missing maxie, archie and guzma). The two "main" characters from the music video are original, as far as I know.
>What is this advertising?
Pokemon. Please blindly follow your nostalgia and buy Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield and the DLC pass, and whatever Game Freak churns out next. Please don't look too critically at the games, it's just a small indie studio. Consume product and get excited for next product.

It's so sad because I love pokemon, but the way GF is treating it fills me with nothing but cynicism.

Imagine if pokemon had this level of soul throughout it's entire lifespan

Now, if only she would stop recycling the same two types of main boy/girl in her works. I could tell this was her without looking at the credits.

soul

How do we give the main anime its soul again?

So, what was the Stand By Me reference for?

In the gen 1 games if you go and examine the tv downstairs in your house it'll say "There's a movie on TV. Four boys are walking on railroad tracks. I better get going."

>(from what I can tell, missing maxie, archie and guzma)
They're on the ground

I feel like not buying Sword & Shield

The main anime only had soul for literally one episode

Kanto had a lot of soul especially the early episodes but when Johto came is when it went bad.

Feels like if half of the budget for the game was spent in this

>giving a shit about animation when the source material is pure garbage
post gen5 is just pure and irredeemable garbage

you have bad taste. Watch an anime for adults.

Gen 6 > Gen 5, don't even bother arguing because you're wrong.

SM is by far the most soulful it's ever been, so is Twilight Wings for that matter. Not to say I didn't like Kanto but it's a fucking slideshow in comparison.

This is true. It's like every game after gen 5 is just incomplete poorly executed ideas and less content.

>muh terrorism plot
gen6 is just garbage
even the pokemon designs are mediocre

Damn that's nice.

Johto has it's nuggets. The episode where Misty and Ash battle for Totodile, revisiting Gary, and the continued antics of rocket were still quality.
