Pokémon Origins

[hi19hi19]

I don't usually watch anime, but I make an exception for Pokémon.

Pokémon Origins is an anime special that follows the rough plot of the first games in the franchise, as opposed to the adventures of Ash in the main Pokémon anime series. It follows Red and the rival Green as they take the same steps players did way back in 1996 on the GameBoy. Along the way, the anime answers questions such as why gym leaders always get progressively more challenging.

Also the soundtrack is really, really good.

Four episodes were aired in Japan yesterday.

You can get information on the episodes here:

This is the first episode, subbed reasonably well:

p.s. I actually bother to put the accent above the "e" in "Pokémon" because Pokémon is the tightest shit ever and if you don't think that then you can get out of my face

I heard that there won't be many episodes to this little spinoff, as they're going to use this time to get the pokemon x&y season going. Hope that isn't the issue since this doesn't look too bad, nostalgia aside.

I just don't really like the anime since the writers don't really try to change things up and insteasd follow a strict pattern that's predictible. It's like is Doctor Who just copy-pasted plots from one season to another, but just changed locales and sidekicks.

Sadly, it's just pretty much an OVA with four episodes. The first two were truly amazing (even considering some of the skipping that had to be done because of the length). Would've loved a full-length series from this Can't wait for three and four to get subbed.
