I'm guessing it won't be as adult as Toshihiro Ono's manga.

So this new series will be aimed at the five-to-six-year-old crowd?

I like the idea of a more Shonen-ish Pokemon manga.

@Sunday Silence: Yeah but apparently those designs won't be used, from the looks of it it won't follow B/W story as PokeSpecial does..
BTW IMO is sad that Shonen Sunday is decreasing each year, I remember reading a couple of years earlier its circulation was around 1,000,000 *a little less maybe* Shonen Magazine was also a little higher, though Shonen Jump was a little lower. But why would this be? I mean how come Shonen Sunday has decreased while Shonen Magazine has kinda stayed the same? I mean both started the exact same date.. Sunday even has a star manga which has been an anime since God-knows-when (Detective Conan) you would think it would sell more... |

And it's not going anywhere. There's just a new Pokemon manga aimed at an older demographic being launched in a different magazine. The franchise has often had multiple manga running at the same time. |

So, if this new Pokemon Series were to get licensed by Viz Media in U.S., will it run in Shonen Jump or Shonen Sunday line instead of Viz Kids?

You refering to Electric Tale? Or something I'm unaware of? Simply put, anything that is more slice of life-ish with decent action scenes and not simply 'HEY KIDS, LETS TALK ABOUT THESE POKEMON AND HAVE A TOTALLY HALF ASSED PLOT AND NOT WORRY ABOUT ANY REAL SEMBLANCE OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WE HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE AND EXHAUSTED BEFORE!' would be welcomed. I mean, no one here is asking for Pokemon to go all grimdark and involve serious levels of blood and violence, but it wouldn't kill for another 'all ages' production to be out there again. It doesn't need to be much outside of fanservice fluff (read: showing off the pokemon, having them fight, etc etc) but it couldn't hurt for it to be a little less painfully boring and dull to watch. The movies are the closest we get to that these days, they shove aside the basic plots going on for the characters and have (typically) a pretty independent story. I stopped giving a shit about the TV series a long time ago but honestly, I really enjoyed the recent films. Nice little exhibitions of above par animation, a decently self contained plot and not much else to ask for. Kinda what the 'Adventure' series tries to do, right? Anywho, be it styled like Adventure or Electric Tale, I might check it out. |
