Pokémon: The Origin
Unclear if it's a new special or a new spin off anime. I hope to GOD it is a new anime and I am praying so hard that it is. Edit: In case you can't tell - this is about Red and Green. Airs October 2nd

Red looks too babyfaced / not serious enough / too happy and innocent and NOT RED.
Red doesn't wear his cap backwards, yet here he is. The coloring seems kinda weird, and the animation doesn't look by any means to be like Japan's very best. Bitch 1. Bitch 2. Bitch 3. All bitching aside? This is pretty goddamn exciting. A video game-faithful reboot starring Red and taking us through Kanto with 2010s-quality animation would be amazing if done right. Please, please don't fuck this up, guys. Copyright info only seems to indicate the video game companies involved. (Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures, Inc.) No mention of Shueisha anywhere, so it's quite possible that they were not invited to produce this.

You pretty much took the words out of my mouth, Talon.
I find it interesting that Red's design appears to be far more based off Fire than the original Red. |

I'm really interested in this as well, hopefully it doesn't end up being too crappy.
Would have been cooler if it was based off of the manga though.

They look their canonical age! |

Do they? They don't look like ten year olds to me. Thirteen or fourteen, maybe, but not ten.

Well, you don't have a 10-year old sister and have to deal with her friends on a daily basis. :P
...Unless you do. |

But, who knows. Maybe they do have an ulterior motive. If it is an episodic thing, it probably wouldn't end until January, at which point they would announce Red and Blue re-remakes and boom. |

Eh, it's probably more or less playing on the nostalgia factor, honestly.
Genwunners are gonna love this. |

"Unheard of Pokemon" - sounds like this really is the story of Red and Blue, that unheard of Pokemon is almost definitely Mewtwo. |

My first time against Brock in Red in a nutshell. I'm with deo, it's a shame that it's shaping up to be a one-time special instead of an entire anime series all to itself. I guess revealing the "unheard of Pokemon" a few days before XY's release makes me suspicious that's an actual new Pokemon, but Mewtwo is more likely for sure. Maybe there'll be an event Mewtwo with yet another special move or two.

Yeah, should've known they wouldn't have animated that far out in advance (with Green's Squirtle and Red's Charmander having both fully evolved) if this were going to be a 26 to 52-episode television series. *siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

Aww.
Oh, well. As the title suggests, it'll be a good thing to show to them silly youngsters loitering on our lawns to show them where all this magic started. |

Pretty much everyone else has stated my feelings on this.
New anime: Good. One-off special: Bad. |
