Pokémon Game Show opening tomorrow- new demo, anime & TCG news to come

I think that's awesome and ballsy, personally. If it really is just the original 151... holy shit, nostalgia bombs exploding everywhere. Plus, it'd be a good way for anyone that didn't grow up with them to complain how lame the originals are and how the new designs are cooler.

Everyone else will be squealing like little girls.

It looks like it's more intense, just based on Blastoise's expression and the "oomph" the Geodude/Charmander pic has. I hope it's a tiny bit more violent.

You're probably right. Hey, maybe this one can end with Red actually becoming Champion!
 
If someone can read the name, that should be enough to find out which pokemon the player is controlling right?
 
Mega Evolution button?

So then I guess it will take a turn to mega evolve? In that case they might be less usable than I was expecting. Edit: Well, I guess it isn't much different than trying to squeeze in a swords dance or something. They'll probably still be good.
 
Hope it's a full series.

Also what moves does that Pokemon have, could determine if it's Crobat or not. He'd be an excellent choice for a Mega. The Mega button looks like a break glass in case of emergency button.

Crobat's Japanese name is クロバット

"You can opt to Mega-Evolve when you choose a move. You can use the move you chose after you Mega Evolve too"

The pokemon the player is controlling is Mewtwo.

The moves are Psycho Break, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball and something I'm not familiar with the hiragana with.
 
Does anyone remember what that one pokemon mini series was? It had gold and raikou in it? Then something about moltres? Maybe Pokemon Origins will be like that.
 
Rival looks good, most of the last rivals we've gotten were too goofy looking to take seriously.

Oh, it's the playable character. Good either way, the sunglasses hat was weird.
 
From Pokejungle:

BREAKING NEWS: Brand new anime Pokémon Origins featuring characters Red and Blue (Green in Japanese) will air every Wednesday from October! This may be the series fans have been waiting for!

Legend of Thunder? No, since that's definitely in the current anime's continuity (one of the characters from it, I think her name was Marina, shows up on a t-shirt in the Diamond and Pearl season).
 
The demo is coded to not let you evolve starters

Fennekin has the moves Psybeam, Flame Charge, Fire Spin and Tail Whip
 
I hope this means we're getting Red 2 / Blue 2 on 3DS along with Pokemon U (like pokemon stadium but like. a schooL)
 
Also, kids, we've known Fennekin's evos are gonna be Fire/Psychic (or at least have Psychic moves) since the first trailer. Calm down.
