Amazing- for every down there is an up, as has been well said, and today is no different because despite the danger of COVID19, Pokemeon Journeys, a new animated series is dropping on netflix.

Now to get down to brass tacks I do see some pokemon beyond the original 151 in the trailer however it appears to be tastefully done without too many weird bad ones. All our favorite friends are here including ash, along with some new characters.... And in addition to our friends we will have some old enemies: team rocket is back.

pokemon doesn't go in real time, he's basically on Bart Simpson rules with that where he'll always be 12-14ish

e: at a further glance, this seems to actually be a semi-reboot. Ash is acting as a mentor to a new trainer, named Goh in the Japanese version (likely subject to change), who starts out pokemon-less but gets a Scorbunny within like five episodes, and the series is sorta-kinda based on Sword and Shield but seems to be using all eight of the established regions instead of just focusing on the new one.

Animated Pokemon Series Dropped From Netflix

I can't wait for the inevitable outrage when a bunch of neckbeard incels hate the show because they're 20 years outside of the target demographic and send death threats to netflix because it shows a non fanservice female or a gay person or whatever sets them off these days.

Argh! I've been inflicted with burn after a 30% chance on hit from an enemy Pokemon using Scald! I will now take 1/16th of my maximum health as damage at the end of every turn and my damage output on physical moves is halved!

Almost every Pokemon series has been on Netflix for years, so this is nothing new. Like yeah, Pokemon owns but this isn't threadworthy imo.

Why the hell does no one put clothes on their pokemon? Its disgusting. "Oh yeah hey, check out this naked thing I've got chilling in my backpack." Gross.

Look up a list of banned Pokemon episodes and theres a real variety of hosed up reasons.

mass seizures, an episode about huge titties, gun violence and black face

The new thing is that new episodes debut on Netflix rather than Disney XD, where it's been the past few years.

Gonna put pants on my dog before his next fight to help normalize whatever the hell I'm doing here. Also my dog has a gun or can shoot lightning or whatever at the other dog why not.

Pokemon casuals who are obsessed with the original 151 and refuse to explore hundreds of very good and cool Pokemon in other generations don't understand Pokemon and its deep emotional depth.

Pikachu is the least good Pokémon Ash could’ve picked as a starter. It evolves into a slightly bigger rat? Why not go with a gently caress off flying dragon or a gigantic turtle with cannons coming out of its back? Even the actual rat Pokémon has crazy sharp teeth and probably spreads the plague :psyduck:
