Well, after seeing this trailer, I can finally sleep in peace.
At last! A wild Red appears! And Green too, of course. Check out this very promising trailer. What do you guys think about it? :D
He picked Charmander for Brock, what an idiot.
Is this a movie or an entire new series?

There are rumors that it will be a special episode (like Jimmy = Gold).
I have a hard time believing that they could get Red to get his Charmander fully evolved in 2-3 of a movie. (Forget a special episode)
I wouldn't be surprised if this became a series. Which, by the way, would be amazing.
I think it's a special of some sort, but it's definitely not just one episode. It can't be.
I'm hoping for an entire series (at least one season) but a movie would probably satisfy me too... (Not as much of course)
But they are saying it's an anime. Which means a series. I'm so excited. X'D

Im hoping the same :D, but they officially announced that it will be a half hour special episode. If this episode is successful, I hope they consider to make an entire series. That would be awesome!
I don't know how this couldn't be successful.
Unfortunately, I don't foresee it going beyond one episode. It's bound to be fun though.
wait what the shit if this actually turns into a series I'm gonna cry tears of joy
But how would they have Red receive his first pokémon and battle Blue with it fully evolved in half an hour? Unless those clips aren't actually from the episode... :o
I think it's supposed to be a series...?
No, it's a special episode that will last ~2 hours. So basically it's a movie

That's more believable. But still, they're really gonna have to rush to get a charmander to a charizard in two hours...
Pretty sure the movie is going to skip time. Plenty of events are bound to happen off camera.
Probably. Although that kinda sucks.
So according to the website, it seems that it's going to be split into four major parts, with the titles of each "episode" being "Red," "Cubone," "Giovanni," and "Charizard."
Also
Spoiler
Mewtwo's going to be in it, probably at the end, after the battle with Green and Blastoise. Although, I'm guessing that the Cubone episode will give some foreshadowing for Mewtwo too.
Is that 2 hours total or 2 hours per part?
30 minutes per episode.
Oh. Well let's hope it turns out to be one of those things I watch over and over and over again. :P
So yeah, this was pretty cool. Really liked the battle scenes (kinda hax though), and I'm glad that they focused on the more interesting plot points of the game.
I guess a nitpick would be how in the second episode
Spoiler
Marowak (a Ground-type) gets killed by electricity.
But I guess there's not gonna be much discussion on this until the dub or a sub's out. >_>
Gotta watch these tomorrow.
Is there a sub already?
Oh my God!!! Episode 4 was amazing.
Spoiler
I think I'm starting to like mega-evolutions now, hhaahaha
^ Yeah, that was a cool fight scene. I wonder if there's gonna be an OST or anything, because I really liked that song in particular.
I could not have imagined a more epic twist than that, jesus christ
Where did you guys find the subs? I just watched the first two episodes and they were fine, but wherever I look for episode 3, it's the same shitty translation...
I watched them all on animefreak.tv.
When I was watching ep 1 the subs were ok, but when I was watching ep 2 they were horrible - sometimes, they even turned spanish..
Ep 3 was ok, but all the names were in romanized japanese, and you could tell it was not done by a native English speaker - far from it actually. Same with ep 4, but really, they were understandable enough.
Quote from: Jompa on October 05, 2013, 05:57:56 PMwhen I was watching ep 2 they were horrible - sometimes, they even turned spanish..
Only for one line of Green's. But I understand/read spanish so it didn't slow me down one bit. Took it right in stride. :P
No but seriously I can understand general translation errors but how can you accidentally write something in the wrong language?
EDIT: I think my favorite mistranslation is "Professor Orchid".
Also, this isn't REALLY a spoiler, but just to be safe, if you don't want to see a frame from episode 4, don't open this.

It happened twice with me - and a couple of times they were using ! or ? they had one upside-down at the beginning of the sentences :P There was also a brief moment some notes (you know, so that the editors can mark out certain areas) showed up and covered the screen, that they'd forgotten to remove.
Quote from: FierceDeity on October 06, 2013, 12:05:43 AMI think my favorite mistranslation is "Professor Orchid".
But "Orchid" is kinda how it is pronounced in Japanese (Okido), so it's not too strange when the guy translating this only went with the Japanese names, just written in English.
This was a fun watch, kinda nostalgic. I almost want to look for my Gameboy and play Blue again.
Spoiler
Red got all the badges and caught all the known pokemons in four episodes.
So, Ash, what have you achieved in 700+ episodes?

Yeah, I know, it's just that I found it funny that his name went from big tree to small flowering plant :P
Actually, it went from small flowering plant to big tree, since in the original Japanese his name is Dr. Orchid, just as Jompa said
Eh I kinda forgot about this, but then I remembered that I downloaded the 4 episodes last week and I finally got around to watch them.
It was just so good. Who the fuck said "Yeah 4 episodes is enough." This should've been a series, not just a 2 hours special.
Also I never had any problems with the subs (no Spanish subs), and I think it's cool they kept the Japanese names instead of translating them.
I agree, Origins should have been a full blown series. It's everything I need in a proper Pokemon anime.
Origins is more realistic, less corny, and more true to the games than the TV show is. Overall I call it a win.
And there are no cheap wins. Red won his first gym battle fair and square, unlike Ash's stupid abuse of a goddamn sprinkler system.
AIM FOR THE HORN.
I just watched the whole thing.
HOLY SHIT
I STILL NEED TO SEE THIS ;_;

Episode 1 is out dubbed now
omg voice actors that dont suck
The dub isn't awful?
Yeah I never really got why people hate dubs of any show so much
But I recognized Johnny Young Bosch as Brock and Wendee Lee as the girl who was talking about Brock being powerful (TMOHS reunion :P). Not sure if theres an official list of actors though

Johnny Yong Bosch*
jesus johnny and bosch are hard enough but i manage to mess up the middle one
Quote from: Nebbles on November 17, 2013, 07:19:40 PMThe dub isn't awful?
The dub was great.
though I think the guy doing red sucks..
I also hate wendee lee, she's pretty bad, but her role wasn't anything big this time anyways.
It was kinda fun that they re-named Green as Blue.
She kind of is though. She can be really obnoxious sometimes. I like her but I don't like her all the time.
When you've heard her as much as I do, you realize how bad she is.
Her performance as Haruhi was good (season 1 at least), but that's about it.
^she did a pretty good performance in the game Virtue's Last Reward as well.
Yeah i literally sat there thinking, "hey these voice actors aren't bad. I wonder if johnny yong bosch will be in it."
*5 minutes later*
called it
Quote from: SlowPokemon on November 18, 2013, 06:23:39 AM^she did a pretty good performance in the game Virtue's Last Reward as well.
and DuckTales.
The dub got rid of Charmander's screams. 0/10.

New Drinking Game, take a shot whenever either Slow or Blueflower mention VLR
Episode 2 is out dubbed

clever
Quote from: Jompa on November 20, 2013, 07:28:30 AMEpisode 2 is out dubbed
Should I wait until they're all dubbed to watch it?
well I think they get out like one per day, so if you want to wait for some reason, it'll probably only be for two days
but episode 2 just came out you said...we were talking about episode one like almost 3 days ago. ???
in any case i don't really see what the big point is in waiting to watch it all. if you wait, you'll just be more and more excited to be able to see it, imo.
Episode 2 came out earlier than when I posted here. I just decided to wait to tell everyone until I had the time to watch it myself, for some reason.
And it wasn't three days ago ???
Because episode 3 is out now :P
Now it's all out dubbed (as well as the rest of Kokoro Connect)
