Would you like a more "mature" Pokemon anime?

Posted

Now, when I say mature, I don't mean blood, gore, swearing, or those. I mean a deeper plot, more combat, and more action. Just clarifying. xD

 

So, I was a HUGE fan of the Pokemon anime as a kid. I loved following the adventures of Ash and his friends. However, in the middle of Sinnoh, I realized... I didn't like the Sinnoh arc. I eventually quit watching anything after Battle Frontier. Ash's constant reset on his skills bugged me, the new voices weren't very good, and the plot stopped being as interesting. It just seemed to become more geared towards children. So, as a result, a certain thought's crossed my mind from time to time. What if they made a more mature version of the anime? I mean mature as a deeper plot, action, and character development, not gore or swearing. Something geared towards the older audience. It wouldn't have to be less kid friendly, just have those aspects I listed earlier. One other thing I'd like to see in another series is a new protagonist. Like I said before, Ash just kinda seemed unlikable after Battle Frontier. I'd love to see the protagonists of the games it's based off of become the heroes. Anyone else remember that anime-style trailer for the Black 2 and White 2 games? I think something more in that style, with a deeper plot, would be awesome!

 

So, would you guys like to see that, or not? Heck, it could run simultaneously with Ash's adventures. It's just something I'd like to see, and I was curious who else did, too.

Anime like Yu-Gi-Oh is also what I miss. I loved that show way back.

I remember a lot of those older "kid" series were some of my favorites, and what introduced me to anime in the first place. They all just kinda got worse over time, to the point where a lot of the older fans quit watching them. I guess that's what happens when the creators realize that it's easier to make a series for kids than something that would also appeal to the older fans...

Every cartoon and anime series eventually hit rock bottom.Spongebob I admit used to be a good decent show. But now they changed it completely.

Yeah, it's all about the times changing. The guys that made those series decided to cater towards a new audience (And they usually don't seem to have a very good idea of how those audiences are, either...), and leave older fans in the dust. I know that they're meant to please kid shows, but there's no need to change something that worked really well in the past.

I completely agree with you.

Every once in a while I watch the Pokemon Black and White series I agree it should have a deeper plot and older characters and recently i found the black and white 2 animated trailer for the game... if the Pokemon anime was ANYTHING like what i saw int he black and white 2 trailer I would watch it xD

I wish they would adapt the manga. Better than the anime.

Until JadenYuseiYuma showed up and made the entire plot of their respective series completely pointless.

 

I HATE Yu Gi Oh GX soooooooo much because the last episode of GX makes the entire GX anime completely pointless

 

5Ds was average

 

and ZeXaL was just garbage

The rival's voice actor is the voice actor of goku

I remember watching Pokemon back in the day but then it just lost it charm after seasons passed... D8 I'd love to see a more "mature" Pokemon anime like the Black  and White trailers show. :P

And we still don't know whats inside the gs ball. It's probably celebi though

I forgot where I read an interview, but the creators wanted the audience to forget about it; they had no idea where to go from there as they made the Celebi movie. Like said before, it was probably meant to be an adaptation to the games.

Edited by OmegaForte

Speaking of the GS Ball,there was supposed to be an entire arc dedicated to Celebi and how the GS ball is related to him...but they dropped the entire arc for the Celebi movie(Pokemon 4Ever) and the ball ended up with Kurt.

 

and let me quote TheJwittz and say:

 

"IT'S BECAUSE OF KURT THAT WE CAN'T HAVE NICE BALLS"

That's what we just vaguely said

Yeah but you didn't mention that the GS Ball went to Kurt OF ALL PEOPLE.

 

As for the state of the anime itself,I still agree it went downhill(except of some movies),I can still watch Kanto and Johto league over and over again but I can NEVER finish the Hoenn season or the Sinnoh season....I'm currently watching the Unova season and I have to say: TEAM ROCKET WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU,WHY AREN'T YOU GUYS BLASTING OFF AGAIN???

I can still enjoy Hoenn (It's been a long time since I've seen it though), but I can't enjoy anything in Sinnoh or Unova, anime series or movies. The anime changed way too much, and the movies are incredibly boring to me...

The movies some of them are good but some others are reaaaally boring.

 

The movies I liked are:

 

The First Movie

 

Pokemon 2000 (DAT LUGIA THEME)

 

The Entei movie

 

The Darkrai,Dialga Vs Palkia Movie

 

Lucario and the mystery of Mew

 

Arceus and the Jewel of life

 

 

I wanted to include Destiny Deoxys....until I realized that I hated this movie because of one and one thing only....THAT STUPID KID WITH THE POKEPHOBIA

I love the older movies, the first four are all incredibly memorable to me. The fifth movie was pretty good, but I only saw it once or twice. The Hoenn movies were okay, and I could barely focus while watching the Sinnoh movies. They just weren't all that interesting in my opinion. I haven't seen any of the Unova ones, kinda doubt I will.

As for the Unova Movies,I only watched the Reshiram version of the victini movie just because I loved Victini so much and I wanted to ease the frustration of missing the Victini event.

I barely remember Destiny Deoxys, I remember I loved it as a kid since Rayquaza's one of my favorite legendary Pokemon ever though. I wanted to rewatch some of the older movies over Summer, I need to get to doing that soon. ._.

I wouldn't watch it (I stopped watching once Misty left...) but I think they should make it for all the people who grew up with Pokemon and are a lot older now

As long as they keep bringing back my favorites, I don't care.

Man, if a more mature anime can get us some consistency, I'm all for it.
