HOLY FUCKING SHIT

??? Bill ???

The nu-anime looks so ugly. Do Japanese zoomers really like this style, or is it for budgeting reasons?

This is literally made with the old character designs for nostalgic reasons retard. The actual anime looks way different.

Post the actual anime then

This is what the anime actually looks like at the moment. The pictures posted in this thread is from a short film made in conjunction with some american nigga who probably has crazy nostalgia for the first few season, hence why this short film has the old character designs and the backgrounds are done with the old faux-watercolor style.

It is great. It is the old character designs with modern Pokemon animations. It is also goes to show that the current design changes are mainly down to OLM liking it.

They should give her more episodes

Where was she 12 years ago?

please die

It would have been nice if they included her in the games as a random NPC or even better, create a trainer class based on her, maybe a new model for Pokefan

I get the feeling that the anime directors now think "What the hell is gamefreak doing?" and instead decided to do their own thing mostly seperated from the games since the 8th generation.

Nigga, DP is over 15 years lol. You are just as much a nostalgiafag as OSfags.

You think they don't include more anime stuff in the game is because of Japan's weird copyright and creator rights? Like, some stuff like Ash-Greninja are obviously dual tie-ins made to be included in the games, but how often has stuff directly from the anime appeared?
It makes me wonder if it's because if it was made for the anime, they'd have to credit (and possibly pay) the anime staff? The (earlier) spin-off games had some anime stuff, but I think they also credited the anime staff within them? There's also that rumor that the anime staff had to change the concept of Unova's Mewtwo because of Japanese Copyright stuff and Shudo (and his estate) partially owning the anime's original iteration of Mewtwo, and they'd have to pay licensing for the story he created. In the leaks last year, with the beta versions of Yellow and other content game being produced around the time, it appeared like they had wanted to make the games more like the anime but because of tech difficulties (like trying to get all the Pokemon crying their names into a GB game) they dismissed it at the time. But, it feels like all the modern games and spin-offs specifically try to stay clear of most anime influences unless it's a specific cross-promotion.

They revisiting and retconing old anime. It's pure delight because even that isn't sacred anymore.

Except DP is actually good and can stand on it's own as the best series, whereas OS is just nostalgia bait that has nothing going for it.
Stop coping.

>stop living in the past
>DP is the only time this shit series had soul
at least have some self awareness

>what is reading comprehension
try again, XYfag,

Lmao. DP is the series that is most held up by nostalgia. Shit aged worst then the fucking OS.

Another callback episode? Fuck off.

What in that post hints at being an XYfag?

You're right, TPC is a disaster, on the one hand Shudo renounced all his rights to his maximum creation Lugia (By the way canonically she is a female, but the people who hired the seiyus made a mistake) but kept the rights of Mewtwo (Not as a species, but as a character) for this was the creation of Femtwo.

Now it may be difficult to take characters from the anime to the video game because in other countries their distribution right is with other companies, but here we have the case of Jessie and James who are even part of Yellow, Go, and Masters.

I believe that a simple and trouble-free solution is to bring the anime characters to the games embodied in generic NPCs and through subtle clues you can know who they are or if possible, use the most similar characters respecting their teams.

>DP is the only time this shit series had soul
>ashitnime ever having soul

It still floors me that someone like Shudo, a degenerate, mentally ill drunk, had so much creative control over what would become one of the biggest IPs on the planet. It's no wonder its fanbase is such a garbage fire.

Sauce?

I love it

In theory it wasn't expected to be a massive success, the anime was supposed to end in the first movie, at least that's what Shudo hoped.

That in itself is hilarious. The anime was pretty lousy up until that point. Ash made hardly any progression at all as a character and was a real jobber towards the end.

At least that mistake wasn't the writers or producers fault; the studio who they hired to animate that particular scene were working on multiple anime and something like multiple 20 hour days a week, and they admitted years after the fact it was just a mistake they made and the person animating that particular scene even forgot what show it was for. It just wasn't worth the money or wasn't within the time-limit to reanimate it, so it was left as is. The early years of the Pokemon Anime were wild on all sides of production though; far less overproduced than anything after OS and early Advanced. (DP was where the overproduction from TPCI really began to show itself)

Then explain this graph - notice the immediate trend going down after OS, only to be brought back up again by DP? It was indicative as to the series achievements.
Seethe all you want, can't refute actual numbers.
