Starts October 2nd in Japan, "The Origins." Unclear if it's shorts or whatever. Screw the animation, I want anything without Ash/filler/filler/repetitive/repetitive/sameoldstory.

Nope, these are Red and Green ;O The Rival in the first Gen is only called "Blue" in the Games. In the Manga Series he's called Green, because they added the Girl in the Game Series as "Green" but called her "Blue" in the Manga Series because the Blue Version was more popular and she's the 2nd Protagonist.Obviously they're using the Manga as some kind of model ... at least for the Names.Anyway, they could make good money with this. The 1. Gen is the least hated Gen and almost every Pokemon fan likes it. It would be a shame to keep this Anime Special in Japan.

Noooooooooooooooooo!

They can create a series that air alongside it instead of just ending it.Heck the Gundam anime has a dozen of series's under it's name so why not Pokemon 

 

if it ended,people will complain saying why they didn't continue it in a better way or why they're forcing a darker narrative on another series on children

 

You have to keep in mind that Pokemon is supposed to be kid friendly,Ash's adventure is supposed to appeal to those kids and to newer kids too

 

Besides,Ash has been the face of Pokemon(whether we like Ash or not) fora decade and a half since Pokemon's debut in Japan and even in America.Heck most of us here got introduced to Pokemon by the anime.

 

If they just took it away like that after creating more than 14 movie and almost 5 seasons they're gonna lose a lot of money,especially from their partners in Japan

 

Just because we don't like doesn't mean it should go away.

 

This is like saying Detective Conan(Case Closed)should end just because I don't like the new episodes and the way Senshi solves the cases

 

And Detective Conan has aired more than 700 EPISODES and it was airing in Japan long before Pokemon's birth

 

They need to make a second series to run alongside the first one,not just end it

Your points are valid, and i agree with your reasoning. But i still would rather have them end Ash's series and just start the new one TBH.

And risk them losing a lot of money by ending a profitable series

 

They can't just end it just because you said so.

 

Things don't work like that in anime,they can't just end a long running series that serves as a HUGE marketing tool for the games

 

Those anime episodes markets Pokemon more than any trailer can do

 

If you want this to end,then give a logical ending to an anime like Detective Conan,which is running way longer than Pokemon did.

 

 

THEY CAN START A SECOND ONE WITHOUT ENDING THE FIRST ONE.......GO SEE GUNDAM IF YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I MEAN

Im not saying they will end it just because i want them too, and i know they can easily start a new series without ending hte original. I just would prefer if they ended the original. Its been milked too long, and im sick of Ash not being a Pokemon Master and that he hasnt beat the elite four already. :

The anime universe is different from the games

 

There is no Elite Four,there is just the Pokemon League tournament.

 

And while I'm sick of Ash losing all the time,I would prefer that they make him win the Kalos region League instead of just stopping it all of a sudden.

 

Whether we like it or not,they can never end it because it's been a huge part of the foundation of the Pokemon company

 

If you think it's been milked(Which I don't know how since you watch it for FREEEEE),then long running animes like Duraimon,Detective Conan,heck even Naruto at this point,have been milked FAR MORE than Pokemon did.

 

I myself want a second series so they can do some crossover movies between the two universes

I don't really have anything against Ash in those series, sure he comes across as a noob every time (especially in Unova) but the Hoenn and Sinnoh seasons were dragged down by all the contest episodes, imo. Dawn and May/Max were irritating and the contest filler episodes (on top of the other filler episodes) dragged down the rest of Ash's progression. Although still he was incredibly noobish... The anime really hasn't been good since the end of the Johto journey... that isn't even because of the nostalgia of Ash, Misty and Brock either :l This Pokemon Origin OVA might be something they are just trying, if it's a success they might make a mini-series or something it might be unlikely but never say never

I disagree. Hoenn was my favorite region. And I found the whole contest thing an amazing and creative twisty on pokemon. Something different. Sinoh though, yeah that one kinda sticked. Especially team rocket. Just... Just omg they were terrible.

Technically you're not watching for free if your paying for cable. Of course there's online sites to watch for free, but we really shouldn't count that...

 

I hope the audience watches more the special than a episode of Ash with Pikachu losing to a starter. (Face it, it's going to happen. Or something worse.)
