So it's not a Ho-Oh movie..

STILL, HYPE. This is going to be a fun ride, seeing all best classic scenes in the glorious animation.

Inb4 it only focuses on OS and completely ignores AG, DP and BW. It's gonna happen and you know it.

Lord Trollbias · Dec 14, 2016

Oh hey Ho-Oh. Haven't seen you in...........a while.

mystic9899 · Dec 14, 2016

it's ridiculous how studio ghibli this looks. looking forward to this movie!

SkittleBox · Dec 14, 2016

I wonder if this will be a retelling of Ash's journey condensed into an hour and a half, but I'd be fine with that considering it's Pokemon's twentieth anniversary. I still find it a bit strange they're not going to release a (quite honestly bad compared to other movies) movie about a Legendary in Alola because that's what they always do.

I guess July can't come soon enough for me. I'll watch it.

KungFuMaster · Dec 14, 2016

How is this even possible xD? I guess it's the 20 years anniversary. Nostalgia goes up

Red and Blue · Dec 14, 2016

A retelling? Interesting. Hope its not a complete rehash of the first few episodes.

Ho-oh could still appear. It made an appearance in the first episode.

Pokegirl Fan~ · Dec 14, 2016

Heh I find it hilarious that I just posted something about wanting something different with past companions and Pokemon making appearances in the other thread that got deleted several minutes ago and then we get this lol

Yeah obviously, but that will be the EP01 scene reanimated. My first impression was that it was fully centered on Ho-Oh but I suppose it is 'still' too early for that.

HOLY CRAP

I'm interested haha

Sonic Boom · Dec 14, 2016

I'm getting serious Dragonball Path to Power vibes from this.

And much like how Path to Power only used two of the first three arcs of Dragonball and omitted some characters, I can see this film keeping it condensed to the OS series only.

Noe necessarily a bad thing though. Maybe Johto will get the breakthrough the fanbase wanted it to have and use the GS Ball plot device in theatrical form?

Bguy7 · Dec 14, 2016

Well...this is...unexpected. Not sure how I feel about this versus a traditional movie with a completely original story taking place in the current region.

Pokegirl Fan~ · Dec 14, 2016

Hopefully this won't be an OS only thing. I'd like to see events from AG-XY as well, and hopefully another Dawn and Serena appearance. :3

Red and Blue · Dec 14, 2016

Honestly this is a brilliant idea. I really hope this retelling isn't just one film. I want to see a trilogy

dman_dustin · Dec 14, 2016

Not sure how I feel about this.

It seems like something that should've been its own thing rather than a movie that will air next July. Like a very cool special on TV Tokyo or something, considering that's how the series began (on TV) not as a movie in a theater. This feels like a waste of a movie, but I guess I'll wait until we get a trailer for it, a decent trailer, I otherwise am just not invested in a retelling of the first few episodes or whatever it actually will be.

I guess that means Marshadow/Necrozma next year (2018)....maybe 8th generation (2019).

Poor Sun and Moon, though, they're going to have to do something heavy within the anime, if the games/anime are going to be ignored for a year (movie wise).

Though I do have to say, maybe this is what the movies should've been to begin with related yet unrelated to the anime. Telling their OWN true story without needing to advertise the games.

mystic9899 · Dec 14, 2016

maybe this is where they'll distribute pikachu with ash's hat

Shneak · Dec 14, 2016

Is this really necessary?

Like, we know how Ash's journey began. We have seen Red start a similar journey from the beginning twice. There is nothing new here. Alola offers many legendaries and UBs to tell a fresh story with. But it's nostalgic pandering so I'm probably alone here...

Begins.

ARE YOU READY...

FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL...

ADVENTURE?

WAIT WAIT WAIT

Is this implying the movie won't be a retelling but a different continuity altogether?

Zoruagible · Dec 14, 2016

Ugh.... so Ho-Oh is never getting properly covered? At least Brock has to appear in this, missed him.
