Japanese B2W2 animated trailer
 
First thing is first - good luck trying to find a video because all links to it are being blocked and made Japan only. So are rehosted efforts of it, so don't count on seeing it.

edit: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xquxz9_pokemon-black-white-2-anime-promo_videogames someone just linked me so enjoy if it's still viwable when I post!

Lucily someone posted the link on sppf to the video before it had been properly blocked, so a few of us who clicked it early enough (including me) got to see it before it was blocked. It's basically a anime-style video of scenes that seem will be in the game (idk how accurate they will turn out to be, but one can assume it's possible some aspects of the game are in that video). It's also decently animated and seemingly by some different studio.

Have this rough summary of what happens too if you cannot see.
Quote:

- N is walking, has some pendulum thing, looks pretty much the same. Is standing on the top of some ruins (dragon spiral tower?)
- Game logo
- male protagonist andrival have a race to viewing platform while unfitting electric music plays
- they meet older bianca who sounds very kawaii desu~ (=p) and holds box with starter Pokemon
- protagonist is listning to scientist guy (Akuroma) talking as his lucario watches. Akuroma has a magneton next to him
- huge stage, maybe gym battle or something with elesa who has a new outfit
- protagonist, rival and Cheren (who has final form of lillipup) are on a boat surrounded by evil team (plasma with new look?), one woman who seems to be a leader of some sort has a seviper and a ninja-esque outfit. cool battling proceeds. Rival had water type starter, protagonist fire type so that deal remains the same
- protagonist and lucario chase ninja girl, but to no avail
- shadow tirad show up on giant ice block and talk before escaping
- two kyurem forms are battling
- logos!
So gist - N is in it, shadow tirad is too, cheren does stuff as does rival with you against evil teams on a boat.

Elesa as a brunette is even hotter!

What a great way to promote the games, hopefully it come out in English as well. It will definitely attract new players.

Thanks for the link!

Kano Shuuya May 15th, 2012 5:14 PM

/types while watching
Pardon me momentarily..

AAAAH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

ohmygod
ohmygod N, just kill me now
leave me to die ohmygod

ohmygod Rival!

Oh wow.

OH WOW.

Their voices = \o/

The animation is really pretty.. *____*

AN ENTIRE POKEMON TRAILER WITHOUT ASH.

Okay, disappointed at that the female trainer wasn't in it, though.

RedJ May 15th, 2012 5:15 PM

ADL;KSAL;JVKLNM

Dat PLASMA THEME
DAT BATTLE
DAT ENTIRE THING AAAAAAAAUGH

Anyway. I thought the Shadow Triad were all female. I'm pretty sure this new(?) triad is male (the one they were chasing most certainly was, or else she has a really, REALLY deep voice). And there's that scan that showed someone in the old Team Plasma outfit...so I guess they have split?

Also, this sort of cemented my starter choice >_>

TCB May 15th, 2012 5:22 PM

Pokemon BW and Rival Destinies..eat your heart out. That animated trailer is THE Pokemon anime I would watch every day.

Team Plasma returns; and with snazzy new attire. What's more that it seems The Shadow Triad has a much more prominent role than in BW.

Wait...that's Elesa? Damn....she looks hot.. but strangely got a Crula DeVille-thing going on...:P Well, at least we know that she's returning as a Gym Leader and that's fine with me. So based on this trailer...that's four confirmed Gym Leaders? Or is it five?

Bluerang1 May 15th, 2012 5:24 PM

Not sure if I can post pictures but do delete this is it's an infraction.


Kirbychu May 15th, 2012 5:25 PM

That was pretty cool. The Pokemon anime should take notes.

This video is better animated than the Pokémon animation itself. I find that completely strange. :P

It does show that Cheren does MUCH more than act as a first gym leader, though. :P

I also think we can lay to rest the theories regarding the region's original gym leader trio.

Haha yeah. Those are definitely not the triplets from Straiton.

Plasmette May 15th, 2012 5:34 PM

Would try to resist the fangasms, but to late :/

Well, it looks better than the actual anime. amirite or amirite?

Well, I can see that Ill be seeing alot of Sevipers, Zangoose, Scrafty, Bedlum, and Kink...
Team Plasma's outfit looks better, the least most ridiculous outfit since Rocket...

Elesa's redesign...I don't like one bit. It just looks plain silly, and considering she is a model, that is saying alot. I still want to know what the big runway with the crowd is all about. If its a gym, then I can be expecting more epic Gym Battles.

Cherens Heirder, in my opinion, indicates that he is a normal type leader, and he replaced Lenora.
Shadow Triad is back, of course. I want to see if it was really the Stration City leaders or not once and for all!

PlatinumDude May 15th, 2012 5:35 PM

This. Trailer. Is. Awesome.

GameFreak did a really good job on that video. The way Akuroma was talking to the guy protagonist seemed a bit suspicious to me; I have a feeling he could be a part of the villainous team.

And since when did Team Plasma go from medieval to ninja? I'm guessing that the Shadow Triad had something to do with that.

Zelda May 15th, 2012 5:42 PM

N's eyes are so sexy haha. But so excited now, oh my gosh! This trailer was epic, glad they thought of doing something promotional like this before the games hit Japan next month. This does clarify some of our speculations as well. :D

Mista T May 15th, 2012 5:56 PM

Words cannot describe the fantastic nature of this video. In my eyes, there were a couple of scenes that encapsulated the entire video.

1) Akuroma's aloof air gave the video a tinge of mystery.
2) Elesa's sexiness gave the video a tinge of the risque.
3) Motherflippin' Arcanine sinking its motherfrikkin' teeth into motherfrackin' Seviper was the turning point. It exclaimed "THIS GAME IS A CHILDREN'S GAME NO LONGER. THIS IS A MAN'S GAME."

This post might not even be coherent. I'm literally ecstatic to the point of babbling right now.

dylkimaloc May 15th, 2012 6:09 PM

I have no idea what they're saying but that was amazing.

Ho-Oh May 15th, 2012 6:13 PM

I think it's pretty awesome tbh. I love how N's back, etc.
(I'm excited I just don't feel so great so it doesn't show lool).

This also clarifies that Unova is somewhat frozen over for reals, yay! And that Cheren has more of a role.

BUT YEAH AWESOME.

Chaos Rush May 15th, 2012 6:19 PM

If only the anime was like this...

I really wish a new separate Pokemon anime would start, taking cues from the B2/W2 promotional trailer, such as:

*darker tone
*Pokemon don't stupidly say their names over and over again
*Pokemon actually make noises resembling their in-game cries (listen to Emboar's roar in the trailer)
*not ridiculously childish
*the main character actually gets a starter Pokemon instead of a really weak electric rodent

I despise the current anime so much because of how childish it is - I haven't watched it in over seven years. If they ever made a new anime in the same style as the promotional trailer, I would definitely watch it...

That being said, that was a wonderful trailer! What a spectacular way to promote the games, finally I have some evidence to use for my point that the Pokemon games were always meant to be serious!

Guy May 15th, 2012 6:23 PM

ASDFLKJ;SDFKLAAS!!

Did I really just watch that? Is this real life? Is this some sort of sick joke? Thirty seconds into it, and I'm already squealing and bopping around like a five-year-old who's about to get a video game for the very first time.

First of all, the animation. Why can't the actual anime be like THAT? The promotional trailer had me wishing the writers of the anime would just start over, get rid of Ash, and start anew. It was all so pretty! Plus, Arcanine using Bite (or Crunch, your pick) looked so well executed compared to what they do in the actual show! Everything was just so appealing to the eyes, omg! Basically I agree with what Chaos Rush said.

Secondly, I really hope the Pokémon Team Plasma had here in the promo are what they will have in the games. No more weak garbage Pokémon, but useful ones like they showed here.

Also, glad to see the Shadow Triad around and back.

M'Kay, I'm officially more excited than I originally was. This trailer also makes me look down at the anime even more (yet, I still can't stop watching). Not even the movies turn out this exciting when its all done and gone.

PS. I agree with Drew. Where was the female protagonist in all of this!?

Bluerang1 May 15th, 2012 6:35 PM

Yeah show Willow! I want to see her cuteness in action.

I need to rewatch the video to see this frozen area that is being spoken of.

And do you guys think that this is only a promotion or may be a special?

Also I was thinking that they were pulling the Protagonist not speaking thing really well until he gave Arcanine commands haha

My goodness, the cinematics of this are brilliant.

Oh I see the frozen Unova. I thought it was Daikenki's Ice Beam.

Unless she's at the Battle Subway, like the other PC in the original B/W. Or something.

Although, maybe they'll be making another one of these for her? They had to do -something- with that Snivy, after all.

I'm going to assume, based on the trailer, that when you choose which protagonist you want to play as, the other male or female counterpart won't have any involvement in the game. I could be wrong, but that's the impression I got for why they only used the male and didn't write in the female too.

Still, sad she was left out. I love her design and would have loved to see it displayed in the animated trailer even more.

Maybe we'll get a second trailer with her [and Serperior] in it? I don't know. One can only hope!

Ho-Oh May 15th, 2012 6:45 PM

I feel like it's way too close to the games to do an alternate trailer. This one basically gives you everything the normal trailers don't without giving away too much. I'd rather leave the awesomeness as it is.

Chaos Rush May 15th, 2012 6:54 PM

Murkrow May 15th, 2012 7:11 PM

probably the best animation i have seen of Pokemon to date, even better than some of their official movies

THIS omg if they made this an anime with those graphic styles? Itd destroy any season of pokemon to date. Also, I do like the way they have some of the old peeps just new ways of introducing them/showing that time has passed somewhat

kohei May 15th, 2012 7:56 PM

The quality was amazing, not to mention the BGM (which reminded me of Daisuke Ishiwatari lol.)
As much as I understand this is a standalone animated trailer, I do hope they expand on this. Seriously.

Also on Youtube with subtitles.

MegaKuriboh May 15th, 2012 8:03 PM

No words...

This is SO, SO, SO, GOOOOOD!!
The actual Pokemon anime needs to take some tips.

I freakin love the new Team Plasma people, and the shadow triad are so badass.

My love for Arcanine.... Grew greatly. Seriously, how it jumped out and took down that Seviper like that... wow.

Akuroma is mysterious... I love that!

Lucario <3<3<3

Bianca is even more of a cutie! So adorable! <3<3

Don't EVER underestimate Emboar. Serperior? Get outta here, you can't protect your trainer like that.

I LOVE Elesa's new look! Assuming that is Elesa.

So it looks like Cheren will be getting involved in the plot! Awesome, I hope you can rematch him later on.

This trailer is just... SO AMAZING.

I really hope they make an anime out of this, not that "Best Wishes" garbage. Get rid of Ash, we don't want him anymore.

Nick May 15th, 2012 8:06 PM

AHHHH I AM SO EXCITED I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS EXCITED FOR A GAME IN EVER!!!

THEY SHOULD DROP THE ANIME AND MAKE AN ANIME OUT OF ALL OF THIS IMO!!!! WHO NEEDS ASH TBH?!?!!?!?!?

YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I have to agree with you at all fronts :P Never before I have seen animation so good. Honestly, I wonder whether they can afford to experiment by making a complete separate series... even if only for one year's worth of episodes.

Also quoting this! I don't think I've been this excited for a Pokemon game! Maybe HGSS but I'm actually starting to question that hnnnnng.

I really really hope the game lives up to the expectations and keeps me more entertained than BW did as a result!

Cheren is already confirmed replacing Lenora since he has her Basic Badge, and that he is the first Gym Leader.

As for the trailer and the animated potential behind it, if they don't make this into an animated series or something similar to Chronicles then this will be a travesty imo. It would seem to be a type of anime that everyone would like old fans, new fans, people that haven't even watched the show.

And we don't need to replace the current anime we just need to incorporate this, otherwise I see them dropping the ball of they don't capitalize on this.

Cinto May 15th, 2012 9:23 PM

...Are we sure this is still Pokemon? Careful GameFreak, you've just raised the bar here by a Wailord-sized difference.

...Duuude, N and Cheren are HOT in this one. Well, for Pokemon anyway. I like that Arcanine actually bit Seviper instead of doing some weird open-mouthed tackle that flashes red lightning for the Bite attack.

What d'you all think of the Black and White Kyurems, though? How did they come into existence?

And last, HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS UNTIL NOW!? ; A ;

alisaie May 15th, 2012 9:37 PM

I wouldn't mind it becoming an OVA or something like Chronicles. I... actually wouldn't want this to be a full blown animation because the animation quality probably won't be as fabulous as it is in the trailer. Though I suppose it depends on how long they would make it animes that are longer/weekly are usually of a lower quality than those that are less episodes/not weekly releases. Of course there are exceptions on both ends but you never know.

Too lazy to quote, but Cheren's "herdier" is actually a Stoutland. Not sure if anyone pointed that out (I'm way too lazy to look back) but I hope this means that we get to see what is probably going to be a Lillipup evolve throughout the game if Cheren is actually involved (which I would really love but I'm not giving my hopes up considering what kind of promo this is.)

Hikamaru May 15th, 2012 9:42 PM

I love this trailer, especially Cheren straightening his tie. Ooh, that's so awesome...

(I love you Cheren!)

If I were a writer for the anime, I'd seriously make this into an actual series. I would also include the female PC as well cos she's cute.

I love N and Cheren's voices, don't know the voice actors though but they look good.

Xander Olivieri May 15th, 2012 9:44 PM

So they show Muk and Seviper as the only two Pokemon I didn't recognize so far...gunna watch it again to see what other Pokemon are different than what has been shown already.

Second watch...only saw Zangoose which I don't think was revealed publicly yet....

So three new Pokemon thanks to this trailer.

Esper May 15th, 2012 10:13 PM

My excitement at the release of these games is matched only by my disappointment that this is only a trailer.

Astinus May 15th, 2012 10:14 PM

This trailer actually got me excited about the games. I was debating about even getting them, but this trailer made me lean more towards getting a copy.

I'm also one hoping that there's more animated for this. Not a complete series, but just some episodes about the characters. Particularly to see more amazing moves like Arcanine's Bite attack. That was beautiful.

It was also good to see Lucario again.

Kirbychu May 15th, 2012 10:27 PM

A full-blown anime with this caliber of animation is an absolutely ridiculous thought, but I could see something like this happening. Maybe they'll put them on the Nintendo Video thing like Kid Icarus Uprising.

Yeah, it's too bad that the battles aren't quite that intense and we're stuck with chibi sprites. I've always wanted the titles like Battle Revolution to focus more on dynamic camera angles and attack animations like this trailer.

It goes without saying that this was great advertising on their part. This definitely will turn some heads when the games make their way to the western world. :P

thedestinedblade May 15th, 2012 10:33 PM

Elesa showing even more skin! :laugh:

All I can say is that was pretty awesome.

AceTrainer_Jason May 15th, 2012 10:49 PM

That trailer was incredible. I seriously cannot wait.

PokéSwimmer May 15th, 2012 11:03 PM

That trailer just blew my mind. This trailer captures what I have always wanted Pokémon to be like. If they made an anime series like this, it would completely revitalize my love for the franchise. I haven't seen Pokémon anime being this good since I watched "The Legend of Thunder." I hope the games turn out to be just as epic as this trailer.

Cathar May 15th, 2012 11:29 PM

What. The. Hell.

I have been giggling uncontrollably for the last ten minutes because of this.

The most important thing is that it hints at a more intense and darker story than before, so awesome. I don't even know what to say. Mind=blown.

Thanks @ kohei for the youtube video with the subtitles and @ manutdrule for the Arcanine gif lawl

Satoshi Ookami May 15th, 2012 11:48 PM

It was so AWESOME!
I was overwhelmed by its EPICness!
I mean, for the first time, we see anime-like trailer for game and this comes out!
I loved everything about it, HOT Elesa, cool N, Lucario (:D), badass Cheren :D
And still the fact that Belle and Cheren exchanged glasses must mean that they're going out xD
I'm so excited! I so wanna play it right now :D

Ivysaur May 16th, 2012 12:15 AM

Nice Wingulls XD

I honestly wonder who's behind the new Plasma! The fact that their logos and theme music are still the same emans that they have just been redesigned- they must have some other goal as well. And I'm also happy to see that the Shadow Triad aren't going to fade into obscurity as wasted characters, hopefully their existence will have a point in this game.

And Bianca is so Kawaaii desu it hurts XD

Turn-it May 16th, 2012 12:33 AM

Okay that was pretty awesome....that actually looked better than the movies!

Xander Olivieri May 16th, 2012 12:34 AM

As sad as this will sound, the budget for that trailer is probably the same amount as the budget for one full anime episode. It would be nice for them to be able to make the Anime like that, but no way in hell do they have the production money to support that kinda Animation. The Movies have always had better animation than the tv episodes because of a higher budget.

It costs a lot of money for that very short trailer.

Captain Fabio May 16th, 2012 12:37 AM

I am really impressed with this trailer. The animation is very smooth and hasn't just been thrown together to hype up the game; they have really worked on it.

Anyone else think there could be actual animation cut scenes in the games now of this quality?

Yeah, I quite like it. I wonder if the Shadow Triad didn't assume some control there...?

Also have a translation posted by Adam Ant of sppf, as I figure some people may find it interesting.
Quote:

I translated the script



Enjoy:




Natural: I wonder what kind of path you and your Pokemon aim for?

*Scene change*

B2W2 Rival: Alright! We're on our way to receive our Pokemon!

B2W2 Protagonist: Yup!

Protagonist: And you are....?

DD(Different Dimension) Bel: Ahhh, I'm so Glad we could meet! *Giggles* Ta-daaa~ Inside this is the Pokemon you will partner with.

*Scene Change*

Akuroma: [kano?] Team Plasma was there. Accepting the possibilities Pokemon possess, they say Pokemon should be released from humanity's control. That, is not my way of thinking.

*Scene Change*

Kamitsure: Welcome to this stage! My beloved Pokemon, and your Pokemon........which shall truly shine? Let's (find out) here(and now)! Note. she says ''koko de something-mashou'' not too sure, but what I used fits, I guess.

*Scene Change*

Habunake-Plasma Girl: *Laughter* Let me congratulate you, for reaching this far; but, given there are so many of us present here, kindly consider surrendering.

B2W2 rival: I'll say this much; I'm starting to get angry...

Gym Leader Cheren: Tch, they're only troublesome due to their number of them present.

B2W2 rival: This will end quickly.....so lend me your power.

B2W2 Protagonist: You got it!

Snake Plasma Girl: Habunake, Bite attack!

Protagonist: Windie, we'll also use Bite!

Rival: Daikenki, Ice Beam!!

*Scene Change*

Protagonist: Wait!! Rucario, Aura Sphere!!

Ninja Bad Guy: No matter what tactics you use, I've achieved the objective[of the mission].
Higher budget/shorter length aside, it looks amazing. It just seemed to up the standard of what I saw of the anime by many times over. Would love for scenes even remotely like that in the game, but I doubt it.

blue May 16th, 2012 2:11 AM

I noticed Elesa has dyed her hair then and it looks better IMO, but yeah that trailer looks awesome and I love how all the characters that have been revealed so far are playing some role into it.

Ooh so Akuroma disagrees with Plasma?---wait, Plasma have the same goal even NOW? :(

Also I wonder what the objective is and what point in the game that they actually reach it. Kinda reminds me of B/W.

PlatinumDude May 16th, 2012 3:23 AM

Wow, I never realized that Akurmoa was against Team Plasma. Didn't see that coming. D: Guess I was wrong about him the whole time.

But then again, speaking of Team Plasma, I like how they increased the variety of Pokemon they're using, which means that I don't have to face against Patrat, Sandile, Scraggy, Purrloin, Trubbish or any of their evolved forms each time I go against a Team Plasma Grunt.

The animation is really pretty.. *____*

AN ENTIRE POKEMON TRAILER WITHOUT ASH.

Okay, disappointed at that the female trainer wasn't in it, though.

^ this

I tried writing a post of my own, but it turned out pretty much identical to that one.

THIS IS SO DARN AMAZING. Could there possibly be a little tiny chance of a new anime coming? Please?

What did DD Bel mean? Different Dimension... maybe that hints that there could be an anime and that it could be set in a different dimension, to avoid clashing with the regular anime? *fishing for http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/083.gif clues*

Zephele May 16th, 2012 4:14 AM

I thought that was very interesting, at the very least. The animation quality certainly was great, especially in comparison to the TV series, and it was cool to see all the new characters (or new designs of older characters) brought to life. If anything, it's made me curious about how the story of the games will play out, with the reappearance of the Shadow Triad and Plasma.

Ah, but that doesn't necessarily make him good either - maybe he is just a different sort of antagonist. But it is hard to say on just what we know just yet. Shadow Triad is taking a mission too so they're taking orders from *someone* - but is that N, or someone else? And why do they need that scroll?

The trailer did well in that aspect - it gave us some info but also raised even more questions from it.

I feel that Game Freak intentionally made us think that he was.

Nonetheless, I absolutely loved the trailer. It was so good that my friends didn't believe that it was real to begin with.

Spherical Ice May 16th, 2012 5:02 AM

I've a gut instinct that Akurmoa is still evil and will have affiliations with Plasma. Perhaps he wants to take over and change their objective?

Riptobazooka May 16th, 2012 5:21 AM

Really? Burnett was against Plasma? Why?

mikey May 16th, 2012 5:32 AM

That was incredible! This needs to be a show, get rid of Ash, make this a series!!!!

I'm pretty sure they meant to make us think that, actually.

My idea/guess: He is still evil, and since he greatly disagrees w/ Team Plasma, I'm thinking there will be some issue with him 'abusing' pokemon and their powers in the game. Nothing too serious though... since this is still a child's game for the most part. He's still really free for interpretation, as are a lot of other characters.


Besides that, I literally felt a tear when I saw this anime oh god. I was so happy. Amazing quality, totally fresh and awesome... and Ash wasn't in it to ruin the video for me :'D

I was scared when B and W 2 was first released, but not anymore. I'm getting that game.

Spinosaurus May 16th, 2012 6:16 AM

Well looks like this game will end up fixing every single problem I had with BW.
Best one is that I don't have to use 5th gen Pokemon anymore.

SEVIPER AND MAGNETON YESSSS

That's right, I mean Magma didn't agree with Aqua but both were antagonists in their own right in Emerald. Though I would like it if Akuroma wasn't really evil...
I'm glad to see the triad show up once more. Perhaps the scroll has the key to awakening Kyurem or reuniting the trio into one dragon.

ShadowStriatonTriad May 16th, 2012 6:32 AM

Wait...WAIT!!! The Shadow Triad AND N are appearing in Black 2/White 2? Ahhh!!! My hopes that the Shadow Triad may be revealed as the Striaton Trio are still standing strong! After all, I haven't even seen the Striaton Trio in any of the game promotions (correct me if I'm wrong.) As for N, his return could prove to be successful. Akuroma also looks hot. And is that Elesa? Or just another electric-type model that resembles Elesa? I hope it's Elesa, but either way, she looks fine. I absolutely ADORE her new look.

I MUST get these games! I'm willing to pay the Euro on the high price when it's finally released. I haven't seen the video yet,
though. But the upcoming games look promising.

RedJ May 16th, 2012 7:34 AM

Personally, I'm going with the idea that Akuroma WAS part of Team Plasma, but left. He could potentially still be an antagonist of some sort (heck, maybe he started the other Plasma). Buuuut that's for a different thread entirely.

Also what is this about the Stration Trio? I'm assuming we're talking about the Gym Leaders, and they look NOTHING like the Shadow Triad shown here o-o

alisaie May 16th, 2012 11:00 AM

I think... Gamefreak is debunking the idea of the Shadow Tried being the Stration Triplets. Unless... they're wearing wigs and they also died their eyebrows white and everything.

OH WELL.

That's Elesa, she uses the same Pokémon. :) Just dyed her hair.

I like how most characters (all, except N) have some change in their appearance. Though we already knew that.

I like how they show the city covered in ice, though it is not what I imagined it's pretty... cool! HA. Man, there seems to be alot going on in these games. Can't wait.

What a great way to promote the games, hopefully it come out in English as well. It will definitely attract new players.

Thanks for the link!

I second both thoughts, I'd love to watch an anime/movie based on BW2, it has a story that doesn't feel as banally childish as the previous generations, and for a veteran player, this would be icing on the cake of a surprisingly enjoyable 5th generation.

Jellicent♀ May 16th, 2012 3:49 PM

That was the most beautiful video for a game trailer I have ever seen. D'8
So beautiful it makes me cry. ;; <3
Like, Cheren looks boss as heck. Bianca is adorable. Akuroma got even cooler. The Triad is epic. Just, omigosh, this game needs to get here, NOW.

This... this needs to become an actual anime series. Like now D:

I swear, I was already flipping when I saw the screencaps and then when I got to watch the actual video.... Yes. All my yes. ALL OF MY YESSSSSSSSSSS.

Now I'm all psyched up. I am going to be in such a good mood for the rest of today~

Korsola May 16th, 2012 4:26 PM

I have a feeling that I'm going to love the direction that Pokemon is going in for Black 2 and White 2. This trailer makes Pokemon seem so mature and so epic. Just the overall feel of it makes me excited.

I'm especially loving the re-design of Elesa. I thought she was such a cool gym leader in Black and White but now she seems tougher and her style seems more unique. Black hair really suits her. ^_^

Hopefully, this garners enough attention to encourage a new completely separate anime series to begin. It would be like, the first time I would watch an anime in over seven years. All I would like is a more mature, less childish Pokemon anime, and one that also has a plot much closer to the games, with absolutely no filler crap at all.

Although preferably I would like for it to start with a Black 1/White 1 adaption (but in the same style as the Black 2/White 2 promotional trailer), so that we know where N, Team Plasma, Bianca, and Cheren came from. Then Season 2 would be a Black 2/White 2 adaption, just like the trailer.

Killjoy May 16th, 2012 5:03 PM

Just watched this, wouldn't load at first, but wow, that was pretty awesome. Which I could understand the characters, though

kohei May 16th, 2012 5:35 PM

After watching this a few times, I hope they switch anime Belle and Kamitsure's voice actresses with the ones in this PV.

Kenmoor May 16th, 2012 6:11 PM

I hate to ruin it for everyone... but someone has to...
1) When this trailer comes to the US/Europe it will be censored as heck. Including Elesa. :disappoin (Come on now. Shes got that... harness thing... expect a redrawing of her...) For some odd reason the US Pokemon Company Branch likes to censor soooo many things.
2) An anime like the trailer isn't likely to happen. Epic, I admit but... like the others said budget problems, lack of substance/storyline, and etc. are contributing factors as to why an anime won't work. *Gets an urge to kill that vile thing called "Ash"*
3) THE REAL GAME ISN'T LIKE THIS! If it is I'm buying it. I got money to spend... if I don't i'll find a way.
4) I want epic commercials for EVERY Pokemon product now... Don't you?

Itcheeee May 16th, 2012 7:13 PM

Wow. Wow. Wow.
I think I just got what I've been wishing for scince the original Pokemon anime. Even if it is only a trailer, anime based on the games using the -game- characters <3 The animation is beautiful, compared to the actual anime series. I wish the female protagonist had appeared, but it's probably for cannon reasons she did not.

Iceshadow3317 May 16th, 2012 7:14 PM

My main question is,if these are indeed in the game. How will they fit the pokemon in if their is 300 choices in the game? Are they going to change each and every pokemon we have in the scenes or are we going to have to use the pokemon they show in the main storyline? Another question I have is,are they gonna be in the normal DS version? I think they said a while back that there will be additional features in the 3DS versions of the game.

Their voices couldn't be more fitting for them. Not sure if Bianca's voice actor is the same as her Japanese Best Wishes one, which I haven't heard, but her voice is adorable in this. Even if some of the characters are just grunting or such, it's cool to hear what their voices are intended to sound like.

El Diabeetus May 16th, 2012 7:46 PM

I'm trying to find out who did the voices. So far the only one I'm certain of is the Rival being voiced by Romi Park. And N sounds sort of like Mamoru Miyano. I've heard all of these voices in other Anime, but, those are the only 2 that truly stuck out to me. The Player character sort of sounds like KENN, the voice actor for Judai/Jaden in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. As others have said, I wish they'd redo the anime and go a route like this.

Killjoy May 16th, 2012 8:07 PM

Lol I like it when Arcanine owns that Siviper. I'm not big on anima, but I would watch this, if it where made into a full series. Heck, if it became a movie, I'd probably hunt it down

1. This is probably just a promotional trailer and nothing more. Probably won't end up in the games.

2. If it does end up in the games, though, I bet it'll be only for scenes without any of the player's Pokémon required to be visible.

3. Nope, not 3DS-enhanced. It is DSi-enhanced, though.

Not sure what you mean by this, if you are alluding to these being cutscenes or going a long with the game. The anime doesn't need to cover every pokemon anyways if it is a anime based on the games. Only additional features I thing thus far are AR for the Kami Trio forms.

OMG! The Shadow Triad! -major fangirl moment-.I want to know more about them. And it's nice to know Elesa doesn't look like a nazi anymore. I swear I wondered what she would look like withbrown hair. ThenI see this. Weird. :O

The games have plenty of substance/storyline to work with, and who says they're limited to it, they're free to include their own subplots and flesh out the characters more. And budget problems? Are you serious? This is freaking POKEMON we're talking about, one of Nintendo's most successful franchises. Don't give us this "budget problems" crap.

Quote:

3) THE REAL GAME ISN'T LIKE THIS! If it is I'm buying it. I got money to spend... if I don't i'll find a way.
The scenes in the trailer all represent an event in the game. Such as receiving your starter Pokemon, talking to the Achroma guy in Castelia, battling Elesa, battling Team Plasma on a ship (possibly in Castelia), and chasing the Shadow Triad on eastern frozen Unova. I bet you that every one of those events will occur in the game (I mean, seriously, are you gonna tell me, "Bianca won't give you a starter Pokemon! And you won't battle Elesa! They just included it in the trailer for fun!")

Quote:

4) I want epic commercials for EVERY Pokemon product now... Don't you?
Yes :3 I also want them to scrap the current Pokemon anime so people will stop viewing Pokemon as something childish. And they need to change that stupid kiddy yellow & blue logo, since the Japanese logos look so much cooler (and changes every 2 generations, unlike the international logo which has never changed >_<)

Ho-Oh May 17th, 2012 3:37 AM

Yeaaah I don't think they'll censor the trailer much other than just translate it to English. I didn't really see anything Elesa did as inappropriate tbh. Then again, this is for the games, not the anime, so as far as redrawing goes, it could be a different story and they may not. :3

...also wait if I understood the story correctly, triple battle with you, your rival and Cheren versus Plasma in the games? omg.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ May 17th, 2012 4:41 AM

1. FEMALE PROTAGONIST IS WHERE? Seriously, GameFreak has a long history of giving the girls the shaft, and it appears things have not changed in this respect.

2. I would've preferred to see some other Pokemon than Arcanine being all epic and stuff... they are seriously overhyping it for B2/W2.

Otherwise, can't complain. Great animation quality, interesting confrontations, and Elesa comes back! Now I'm wondering if this opens up the possibility of anime cut scenes making it into the actual game...

voicerocker May 17th, 2012 7:01 AM

Finally was able to watch the trailer! I got one word for ya: Wow! O_O

Beautiful animation, awesome music...definitely would be great to see more of this for future games! Seems Game Freak is definitely trying to get the message across that B2/W2 are something special!

As far as an actual series though, I doubt we'd see one replace the current anime. There might be a chance they would do a short side series, but I would say chances are they won't. In-game, we might see them expand the cut scenes a bit, but I'm kinda iffy on whether they'd go with full animation and voice acting for the actual games.

I questioned how a more "mature" version of Pokemon would work, but this trailer showed me that it can be done if handled correctly! And though I don't think it will happen, I'd support a series or movie with this kind of quality!

I agree they could have put her somewhere. Perhaps we'll see another of these trailers with her having her own adventure since she didn't show up at all in this one?

The reason they don't heavily showcase female protagonists is cos most Pokemon fans are male. I'd say the ratio is 3 males to 1 female, that's 75% of average Pokemon fans being male.

That's why they left the girl out of the trailer cos most Pokemon fans are boys.

I love Elesa's new design by the way.

voicerocker May 17th, 2012 8:41 AM

Anyone else notice that the Pokemon don't say their names like they do in the actual anime? I thought that was a nice touch!

Well they have been known to do this many times before. Jessie's Seviper would sometimes make little noises other than its own name.

And as for LeSabre's point of them over hyping the games:
They have to.
These are brand new games. New Pokemon, new features, new everything. When it comes to GF releasing a new thing, or any company releasing something new, you kind of have to be super excited of it. If you're not proud of your product, your customer won't be excited. As far as using Arcanine goes, it is a VERY well known Pokemon. My mother even knows it and she only knows three Pokemon at best. Using such an appealing Pokemon in their trailer only makes the consumer more excited to see more of this game which can potentially lead to the purchase of said game.

To be honest, it makes sense that they would use Arcanine, as random as it seems. Yes, Emboar may have been slightly more appropriate, but if they want to show that they have included Pokemon from the previous generations into the games, this is a good way to go. Yes, they did show Seviper and whatnot, but you also want to show the hero of the game having a Pokemon from another generation as well, such as Arcanine and Lucario.

I remember that about her Seviper. I meant that actually none of the Pokemon in the trailer said their names, even that Seviper the Plasma trainer had. Though, it may just be because none of them were "cutesy" Pokemon. I'm sure if Pikachu were in it, the actress from the anime would have been used.

Agreed totally. I have to admit, Arcanine is one of my favorite Pokemon, so it was great to see it in the trailer.

Zelda May 17th, 2012 10:45 AM

I keep replaying the trailer, and admittedly for the music. Wouldn't it be nice if it were in the games? If only. :(

These are brand new games. New Pokemon, new features, new everything. When it comes to GF releasing a new thing, or any company releasing something new, you kind of have to be super excited of it. If you're not proud of your product, your customer won't be excited. As far as using Arcanine goes, it is a VERY well known Pokemon. My mother even knows it and she only knows three Pokemon at best. Using such an appealing Pokemon in their trailer only makes the consumer more excited to see more of this game which can potentially lead to the purchase of said game.

To be honest, it makes sense that they would use Arcanine, as random as it seems. Yes, Emboar may have been slightly more appropriate, but if they want to show that they have included Pokemon from the previous generations into the games, this is a good way to go. Yes, they did show Seviper and whatnot, but you also want to show the hero of the game having a Pokemon from another generation as well, such as Arcanine and Lucario.

Actually I was talking about overhyping the fact that Arcanine was in the games, not the games themselves. I don't mind hyping up the game, but for me personally, I'm sick of seeing, "Oh look we're going to have the big hairy angry looking fire dog Pokemon in this!" It's not quite as bad as the overhyping of Pikachu throughout the entire franchise yet, but still...

Arcanine happens to be one of the most unappealing Pokemon IMO and the fact they used it, coupled with the male character instead of the female, meant that the trailer actually failed to excite me as much as it was probably meant to. Again, it's all a matter of my personal preference and me being a cat person.

Bottom line, if I went into this trailer knowing nothing else about B2/W2, I would not be interested based on the trailer alone.

Oh yeah, I don't appreciate you trying to undermine my credibility on the site.
