What are you referring to specifically? I assume you mean the American side, since that nostalgia has been common for years now with targetting the people who don't play or watch Pokemon anymore, especially the Go craze. In Japan I haven't noticed anything like that, though. This retelling movie is pretty much the only nostalgia-pandering Japan has done. It might be overdone in the west, but definately not Japan. -Stuart Smith |

Hopefully it'll be better than the last few movies.

I agree with the sentiment of getting Veronica Taylor to come back for this. I'm interested in this too

@Stuart Smith
It wouldn't surprise me if Japan centered the anniversary celebrations around ALL generations, which was the intent from the start. The west is left in the hands of The Pokemon Company International however, who have cut corners in recent years. From exclusive 20th Anniversary 3DS consoles, virtual console editions of Red/Green/Blue/Yellow, two TCG sets (Generations and Evolutions) whose sole purpose is banking on nostalgia, the amass of half-assed products that were clearly churned out last-minute as a result of GO's success... (This being just one of many examples: http://www.pokebeach.com/2016/09/legendary-battle-deck-product-images) Not mentioning the inescapable buzz about Pokemon GO from people who will forget about it a month later. But hey, I did save a chunk of money this year, so there's that. |

So many possibilities. Is it a movie length 1st episode retelling? Is it a retelling of the important events of season 1? Is it something entirely new like an untold adventure classic Ash had like maybe in-between leagues? Old VAs? Classic characters like Gary Freakin' Oak returning (Which an older Blue in Sun/Moon might even get him in the Alola series too while we're at it)? Might this be the movie to bring the numbers back to the highs these movies used to get and if so, will the movies just be retellings from then on (Or heck, even a remake of the first movie with this animation)?
Very excited for this movie. |

I found the Pokémon 20 3DS bundles to be disappointingly lukewarm compared to the color-commemorated 2DS bundles (which also included the Yellow Version) Japan and Europe got. The Pokémon Company's mediocre Super Bowl commercial, while it touched the hearts of those that solely favored Gen I so dearly, put many other dedicated fans to sleep. |

And to be fair, its not just Pokemon doing this, anime in general's cashing in on the big anniversaries of the bigger names with new movies/shows like Digimon, the original Yu-GI-Oh!, that Sailor Moon Crystal series, that new Cardcaptor Sakura manga which will be adapted into anime, I'm sure that 4th Eva movie will hurry the heck up to cash in on this nostalgia craze.
Boy, the 30th anniversaries are gonna be reaaaaaal interesting next decade. |

The Ash here seems to be like the "old" Ash, judging by the hair.
Good thing they did not forget that aspect, though his cap looked a bit different. |

Well,well. Looks like we have an Ash lookalike in what looks like a new version of "Pokemon." It looks extremely cute and I hope that it comes here. I'd like that a lot.
