Pokemon Generations!

BE STILL MY BEATING HEART!

I can’t imagine that anyone can understand the absolute lofty levels of my palpitations – but it’s all good because I’m about tell you why!

First consider this - has there been a time in your life when someone has reached into the recesses of your mind and pulled out something fully formed and placed it in front of you? Something that you clearly always desired but never could articulate into palpable form (for reasons unknown). It’s practically unthinkable.

But guess what? The UNTHINKABLE has just been THOUGHT!!

POKEMON GENERATIONS!!

13^th September 2016, the Pokemon Company has officially announced an all new Pokemon animated series which is set to air on the Official Pokemon Youtube Channel ( youtube.com/pokemon ) starting on Friday the 16^th of September.

Pokemon Generations will be a series of shorts that will take place at pivotal moments within the Pokemon game-verse (separate from the anime, specials and TV movies). From adventures that the game Trainer experiences from Kanto all the way up to Kalos – Pokemon Generations claims to be a retelling of the most auspicious moments within the games themselves in a manner that is completely new (in other words, it is not the watered down children’s show that is the actual Pokemon series, screw you Ash Ketchum and your constantly weakened Pikachu! [I just, I love you guys, but sorry, I have found something better]).

Pokemon Generations will consist of 18 episodes that will be released online periodically. Each episode will be about 3-5 minutes in length, even though I personally wish they were way longer and way more than just 18, as we all do, let’s be honest (but beggars can’t be choosers).

I just watched the trailer online (I’ll attach a link to it down below)* and I’m still picking up my mouth off the floor.

One thing you have to know about me, if you probably haven’t gauged already, is that I’m a huge Pokemon Video Game buff – every single frame of that trailer instantly brought me back to its game counterpart like I had just been playing it, and trust me I have played it over and over like no one’s business.

It takes a very keen (sad) eye to be able to do that if I do say so myself.

But enough of my ode of love; I screen-grabbed several moments of the teaser (all pictures taken from the IGN website) to share with all of you, so let’s get to the good stuff. I apologise in advance for the detailed captions.
