Improvements in the anime?
I think that if Pokémon just had a bit more of a story in it and maybe a tiny bit of blood (a bit like naruto) it wouldnt be considered babyish. because the video games are so cool but if you talk to a paerson that doesnt know anything about them they think that you're childish and its frustrating.

If there we an alternate series like Naruto Shippudden when all of the characters are older it would open doors for an extremely attractive seires. There could be blood and more mature themes and it would grow a little as the fans are instead of constantly reliving the same scenario region by region. Also, just imagine how cool Ash would be as a 16-18 yr old, or even his female companions. But til then with the current franchise it would help if he traveled with more trainers. I liked it a lot better when it was four instead of three in Hoenn.

yeah instead of staying a 10 year old kid for...ten years xD
they could also make a constant story like in naruto, instead of making new episodes that dont (always) fit with the last one so you can see them in any order. and everytime you can practically guess whats gonna happen. theres an event, team rocket ambushes, ash saves the day and the episode is over, whereas in naruto you just cannot guess what kishimoto (the creator) is going to do next. they could keep this kid version of pokemon, but adding another better one would make a hit. |
You don't mess with a formula that's worked for twelve and a half years. An alternative series would be unable to avoid ties to the original anime, so it will doubtlessly attract the same viewers. With the level of blood and violence people seem to want in the anime, there'd be hundreds of complaints. And before anyone counters that the companies should broadcast the series later, they aren't going to sacrifice primetime slots for a spin-off from an anime series aimed at preteens to young teens.
|
yea thats true too. but at least if people knew how great the video games are.
|
It would be no different then how the spin off games are to the originals.
|
A spin-off anime for older viewers?
Spoiler:
Worked for the games. Why not our tubes? You see Pikachu get its ass kicked epically in this game and apparently our children are not complaining Spoiler:
Thinking of the idea that a spin-off anime for older teens would not work is ridiculous. |

Pokemon isn't Super Smash Bros or Naruot. It's Pokemon. After 10+ years, the anime and the games have barely changed at all. They still have good ratings and great sales. Why change what isn't broken? |

No, there shouldn't be a spin-off of any kind. Pokémon is a series aimed at 6-12 year old kids and any spin-off would certainly be aimed at the same audiance since they're just to advertise the games anyway. Think Pokémon Mystery Dungeon like. I can't believe anyone would actually consider one of these.

Seriously, put your thinking hats on people. Pokémon is kodomo and nothing is going to change that because it's still successful. |
honestly @ this point...they should just stop, things got rlly old rlly fast, after season 2 it went downhill
I agree with an alternate series where they are older and not so childish, and the weakest attacks don't look severely over-powered, lets not forget putting those team rocket morons on EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN' EPISODE!!!! ugh idk yo I stopped watching it years ago, when I saw an episode with my nephew, ugh I swear most of us here can make better looking Pokemon instead of resulting 2 most of the 3rd n 4th generation looking like they r on PCP lmao |
Why are people so obsessed with seeing blood and violence?

You want to improve Pokemon? Use cartoons like SatAM, Bucky O'Hare and The Dreamstone as examples. They are dark, they have deep plots, and there is almost no blood or gore in any of them. I think The Dreamstone might have an episode where he goes into a crypt that has skeletons lying around inside of it, but that's about as violent as the show gets. |
So blood is a necessity to make things cool now? Wow people...

So stuff like this can work. I personally wouldn't want it to happen to Pokemon though. The world doesn't need another generic shonen anime. |
All Im saying is, Nintendo/Gamefreak and the animation studio are not oblivious to the fact that a large part of their original fans are a lot older now and are still fans and it would be extremely considerate of them to compensate us with better anime aimed at us.
|
It's not really Nintendo's decision. It depends on whether an animation studio wants to buy the rights to this kind of project, and nobody does, obviously.

Agreed. The themes get kind of redundant, and the producers need to "spice" things up. Giving James b00bs was a start. Now we're ready for the big leagues.

While it would be interesting to see a more mature spin off of pokemon, it'll never happen. They have made spin off's before. With that one guy who is supposed to be Gold. I could never remember his name in the show, but they had some episodes based off other characters, so that's as much as a spin off as you're gonna get.
If you really want to look for a more mature form of pokemon (blood, violence, cursing, bizarre storyline), stick with fanfiction. I seriously recommend Pokemon Master by Ace Sanchez. |
I don't need blood (That would be weird)
Or even older characters (Though it would be nice) Just give me an ACTUAL FREAKING PLOT. In between gyms....give Ash and the gang something other to do then get into shennanigans with Team Rocket (Though I love TR dearly) I don't want to see the same thing over and over and over and over again :/ (I'm sure even younger kids agree on that) Though I have to admit that the way they battle is getting interesting..since well...they are starting to give pokemon other options then just blasting crap at each other :P Like all the new spinning moves. Another thing...don't have them settle EVERYTHING with Pokemon...if someone insults me I'm not gonna say "Ya well I can beat you in a pokemon battle! D<" Heck no...Imma deck the guy >( (Though there doesn't have to be blood....I'd just like for some of the encounters to be more...realistic?) |
I remember reading on a wiki about Pokemon red/blue this:
Spoiler:
I'm not sure if its all the same people making the anime/games/etc from back then, but considering this, I doubt pokemon would ever have blood... Which is a good thing in my eyes. Edit: I'm not even sure of how much of said statement is true, really, but yeah, a more "mature" themed series would be cool, though I'd like to see it done without blood. I don't think blood is needed for something to be "mature" Just the general themes of the show, could dabble more into love, etc, maybe give Ash a love interest and see how that developed. |
I'm very sorry guys, and I do believe a spin-off of Pokémon with a well-developed plot - I don't care, the protagonists can be Brawly and Mr. Contesta, just as long as it has plot - would be a glorious thing, but the fact of the matter is that it won't happen. Kids won't look at the ratings for shows, and parents rarely-if-ever doubt the childishness of a series such as Pokémon. They've taken a postive step with the handling of Sinnoh and its inhabitants, but if you want Pokémon media with Doduos spurting blood all over the place, there's actually this really cool off-shoot of the main series. It's called fanfiction.
