POKEMON THE ORIGIN Trailer Now Streaming

A new POKEMON animated special entitled POCKET MONSTER THE ORIGIN will be released in Japan soon and it's going to be based on the original POKEMON RED/ BLUE (Green in Japan) games released years ago.

So basically there's no Ash (Satoshi) and no Pikachu here. Yes, this was the Pokemon I grew up with and got hooked on during High School. :D

Check out the character designs for this new special including classics like Professor Oak, Stone based Gym Leader BROCK and RED's Mother. Yes, the lead's name is RED go figure.

RED

GREEN

20 House Points on who this guy is. (Shame if you don't know who he is)

BROCK

RED's MOTHER

And since we're talking old school here, we'll also be using classics like Charmander (Hitokage), Blastoise (Kamex), and Charizard (Lizardon)...




And wow, they even included a new mix for the classic intro BGM for the game. Oh and if I can comment, this version of RED is dumb, he should've evolved CHARMANDER into CHARMELEON before challenging BROCK. It's like the oldest trick in the book. Annnd he should have some back up monsters already like Butterfree in his team mostly because he'd already gone through the forest. 

What a chump. Still pretty excited to see this, mainly for the nostalgia.
