AnimeUSA said:Um...woah. The detail and non-kiddish anime part of that trailer was amazing. It was so different! I'm not sure if i'd like the whole anime to be like this or not, but it sure is a great take on the Pokemon anime for sure!
I do wish kids' anime looked like this though.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it.Ty_Sylicus said:I watched this thrice (thanks for posting the subbed version Nutter.tKK) and then posted to facebook and texted a handful of friends!! It's that's jaw-dropping anime that we, as older fans, deserve! Heh- ALL FANS DESERVE THIS!!
If Pokemon were to release a complete series in this artstyle that follows the manga, I would actually BUY it on DISCS!
Dragon Master Ryuuji said:I really don't like how that petition words things. Some people make it sound like pokemon needs to be adult or extremely dark and gritty. Sure they could spruce up the anime, make it a bit darker, but still make it appeal to both kids and adults. I think shifting the focus is an extremely ludicrous demand.
If Pokemon did aim for a darker tone, switched the style up to this, sure, it'd be nice. Though the people expecting "OMIGOD IT NEEDS TO BE LIKE HELLSING" need to realize: Pokemon DOES still target kids, and teens (they did so with re-burst but ehhh, wasn't a smart move), and I think balancing it to a teen audience works for both adults and kids, as any age range can watch it and be satisfied. Sure I think it'd be nice to have a bit of a darker side in the anime, and it adds some drama, but it doesn't need to aim at adults. Will blood and violence turn Pokemon mature or take it away from the kid audience? No, it won't. If anything making it way too dark would ruin it and those who wanted it would complain, and ya know what? you guys got what ya wanted and didn't like it, tough luck. Pokemon has quite a few dark and disturbing moments, even in the pokedex entries and story implications, specifically in the games. I don't get why some people really do go all out and say "OMIGOD IT NEEDS A T OR M RATING" because you'd have to be extremely out of touch with Pokemon to make that claim, if anything- you either don't know how to read, or you're someone who enjoys blood and gore, you should really get that checked by a psychiatrist by the way.
Adventures was a good balance of between being a kids series and an adult series, it was just right in the middle of teen. That level of mature is something that can easily work, and I feel it should at least have some influence in the pokemon anime to make it a lot more interesting. People seem to forget that adventures is lighthearted too, so it's high-time it got noticed for that too.
tl;dr: A balanced anime would be nice, no one needs a "mature" or "adult" Pokemon anime.

Tobi_Akatsuki said:What if we DO WANT a more MATURE pokemon anime, I personally think there should be 2 Animes like Pokemon: Chronicles that was brilliant cause it wasn't about Ash/Satoshi, his story is boring and uneventful, no cheracter development whatsoever, he himself keeps dirgessing as a character and in intelligence with every season, so i think its time we move on...
Honestly Pokemon NEEDS to be a bit darker and grittier for the Adults that still enjoy the show,
Honestly i compare this to My Little Pony: Friendship is magic and how while the show in itself is for "Everyone" the fanbase keeps pushing the envelope in clever ways to make appeal to older people like with all the memes, fanfics and fanimations...
Pokemon needs this kind of medium and they need to get more in touch with the fanbase kinda like Hasbro did... i strongly dislike the fact that those people at Gamefreak act like we don't exist...
