~British Soul~ Posted November 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Key visual: Judging from the trailer, it might be a reboot series (I figured it might be). And the first episode is set as a flashback to before Ash and Pikachu met and features a certain Pichu in Kanto Episode 1090: Pikachu is Born (November 17th) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Weird how they are jumping around so much like the regions were just different counties of the same city. They must have some sort of super special lifetime membership for plane tickets, or maybe portals? I thought the series was gonna feature all regions by staying at least something like 8 to 12 episodes in one. I still have my doubts that it is a reboot, have they confirmed it? They seem to be recalling events from throughout the anime in the past. Though if it ends up being a reboot, it'd be nice to rework all the plot points they've made over the years into better things. The camp, James' family, Gary doesn't seem to be in sight at all. If not a reboot, it'd be cool to see Ash and Go bump into mixes of Ash's companions, like how Clemont and Cilan met after Ash left Kalos, or Serena in Hoenn probably meeting Dawn or May.... and now I'm getting the vibe I'm describing Pokemon Champions a little.... xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horu Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 I think this season might give us a peak into Pikachu's past before he became Ash's Pokemon. I've always wondered who Pikachu's original trainer was if not Oak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted November 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 The official Japanese Pokemon YT channel had uploaded the first episode on YT, and will do so every week. So that offers a legal way for anyone to watch the series. Also since spoiler tags are still broken, I'll white text my thoughts Thoughts on SS001:The Pikachu portion was cute, and I think it served as a nice origin story for his character before he became Pikachu, though I do think it dragged on a bit. (However the episode didn't address how Oak caught it, though that will likely be left ambiguous) Though the implication that Pikachu left the Kangaskhan as to not be a burden, resulted in him being a problem in EP001, which made Ash going out of his way and protecting him more important. Ash breaking his alarm clock, resulting him to miss the camp was amusing, guess old habits die hard. One thing I will say is that this raises questions regarding XY. In XY, Serena mentioned attending a Pokemon Summer Camp where she met Ash. In this episode, Ash missed the Pokemon Camp (which was simply mentioned as such) due to his excitement of going. Of course I believe that both camps happened'm inclined to believe that both camps happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
