INTEREST: Brock & Misty Return to Pokémon Anime After 15 Years

Quote:

Both characters haven't appeared in the show together in 15 years.

Misty did guest star in Advanced Generation, which had Brock as a regular. So their last appearance together was in 2006, only 11 years ago.

Also, if they can get them back for these two episodes, why couldn't they get them back for the movie? Makoto and Souji were basically just Misty and Brock lite.

And people said Gundam AGE looked bad.

For me, this is the Transformers: Animated of Pokemon. It is just horrible to look at, especially when compared to what came before it. They talked about wanting to make it easier to animate and in shorter amount of time but it's so overly simplified that they don't even put effort into even putting creases on their clothes, and shading is so minimal there's hardly any depth, they look completely flat. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but I find that most of the new cast actually look fine, it's the original cast that look overly bubbly.

EDIT: To be honest, while it's nice to see the original trio back again, the entire Sun and Moon property has been rather lackluster for me. The games are a step down from X and Y I'm already waiting for the next Gen after Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. The anime's art and tone is a put off, that I'm now waiting for the the next series and hoping it will revert to the cooler art style of the XYZ anime. And there aren't many new interesting Pokemon I'd want to use in my party. In fact, when I transferred my X and Y Pokemon to Sun and Moon, I was disappointing that I couldn't bring them back because I wanted to continue playing those instead.

Kasumi was also in Best Wishes Episode #116, a flashback-heavy episode entirely key animated by Iwane Masa'aki. Takeshi was also in the episode, although neither spoke.

Makoto and Souji were used in the film to be different. That's all.

Have you actually watched any episodes? There's ton of detail in the animation.

Yeah, Modern anime look like that

Ugghhh, you can tell exactly when the moe-blob craze started.

For me, nearly 30 years old and still a Pokemon fan (games, anime) a feel a bit ashamed xD

Why do all three look like shit, though? This can't be too hard, they managed to get it right 20 years ago, too. https://qt.vidyagam.es/4TtF3KT.jpg
