New Pokemon Anime will Focus on Memorable Video Game Events

This year brought back Pokemania, with PokémonGo, announcements of two new games, the year-long Mythical Pokémon Distribution events, plus more, Nintendo and the Pokémon Company celebrate the 20th anniversary pretty well. With the year coming closer to an end we wonder what else they have in store for us.

Well it was recently announced that a new anime will be airing soon titled, Pokémon Generations. This won’t be the anime adaption with Ash, but rather Pokémon Generation will consist 3-5 minute episodes, that will focus on memorable events from the many video games of the franchise.

Pokémon Generations will air on The Pokémon Company‘s YouTube channel from September 16 to December 23, with a new episode being released weekly.

Be sure to check out the trailer below.

Pokemon Sun/Moon: New Pokemon and Characters Revealed

New Pokemon types have been revealed! W00T!

Type: Null
Type: Normal
Type: Null is a Synthetic Pokémon which was constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon, making it adaptable enough to complete a mission that requires a Pokémon as strong as the Pokémon of mythology. The mask fitted to this Pokémon’s head is a piece of equipment designed to control its power. Type: Null is the partner Pokémon of a newly revealed character—Gladion, the taciturn enforcer of Team Skull, who places a high value on being strong in battle.

I feel bad for this creature.  It looks like it was thrown together at the last minute. Kind of like our Team Skull cosplay…  huzzah!

Jangmo-o
Type: Dragon
The Scaly Pokémon Jangmo-o has the pride of a warrior and never neglects its training in its pursuit of becoming stronger. This Pokémon uses the scales on its head as a weapon both offensively and defensively. It lives in harsh locales, like canyons, where it can train. 

Still more dragon than a Charizard.

Alolan Raticate
Type: Dark/Normal
Raticate in Alola live in urban areas, leading to a higher-calorie diet than that of Raticate elsewhere. This means they have tough bodies but have gotten a lot fatter. They stockpile huge amounts of food in their nests and prefer fresh fruit and high-class ingredients. Alolan Raticate is the Totem Pokémon of the trial that takes place in Verdant Cavern on Melemele Island in Pokémon Moon.

He’s like an angry hamster rat.  I kind of want to pinch his cheeks. Do you think he just swallowed his mustache?

Name: AlA-Vulpix_RGB_300dpiolan Vulpix
Type: Ice
It is said that Vulpix came to the Alola region together with humans, but the Fox Pokémon moved to the snowy mountain peaks to avoid the normal habitats of other Pokémon, and thus it ended up taking on this form.

A-Ninetales_RGB_300dpiName: Alolan Ninetales
Type: Ice/Fairy
Alolan Ninetales is able to produce ice crystals from the fur that covers its body. It can use these ice crystals to block attacks, or it can form balls of ice, which it fires like bullets at opponents. These ice missiles have enough power to pulverize rock.

A-Sandshrew_RGB_300dpiName: Alolan Sandshrew
Type: Ice/Steel
Sandshrew have historically lived in desert areas, but the frequent eruptions of nearby volcanoes drove the them to abandon the desert and migrate to snowy mountains where they took on this form.

A-Sandslash_RGB_300dpiName: Alolan Sandslash
Type: Ice/Steel
The Alolan Sandshrew of the snowy mountains evolve into Alolan Sandslash with spiny backs that are covered in ice. Alolan Sandslash hide themselves in the snow when strong enemies appear, leaving only their needles exposed and ready for business.

New Pokemon from Pokemon Sun and Moon

Name: Oricorio
Oricorio changes its form by sipping the nectar of certain flowers. Since it has four different forms—the same as the number of islands in Alola—it would seem that different Oricorio live on each of the islands.

Oricorio_SensuStyle_RGB_300dpiSensu Style

Lurantis_RGB_300dpiName: Lurantis
