Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee have been
confirmed to be main series titles, but not
main series titles as we know it.
They seem to be the start of a new line of
main series Pokemon titles, meaning that from
here on out we’re gonna have two lines of
main series games.
It’s kinda like how Mario has both its 2D
and 3D main series games, and while both are
different they’re both main series titles.
Now since they are the start of a new main
series and not the continuation of the previous
one, I doubt that this is gonna cause any
major changes for Ash’s journeys in the
anime, but for a variety of different reasons,
I do think it may cause changes for certain
characters in the anime, and potentially even
start a new Pokemon anime series that airs
alongside the current anime that we already
have.
What leads me to believe this?
Well you’re gonna have to stay tuned to
find out!
What’s going on guys HybridHero here!
I hope you guys are all having a wonderful
day!
Like I just said we’re going to be talking
about the different possibilities that Pokemon
Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee open up for the
anime.
These games are an all new adventure in Kanto,
and the Pokemon company already has merchandise
lined up to support and advertise the release
of these games, and the anime has ALWAYS been
HUGE advertisement for the video games.
But since the main series anime probably won’t
be affected by these games, I think a new
animated series will air alongside the current
Pokemon anime.
The Pokemon company is huge and definitely
has the budget to run two animated series
at once, and they have had other animes besides
the main series.
Pokemon Origins and Generations are good examples,
but they have also had Pokemon Chronicles
and the Mega evolution specials which are
shows that are different from the main story
and don’t follow the story of the games
but still manage to be directly intertwined
with Ash’s adventures.
Now I think Ash will have something to do
in this series so I do think it will be a
series similar to the Mega Evolutions Special
or Pokemon Chronicles as again, they probably
want all the advertising power possible.
Finding away to include Ash into the series
would be a good way to sell the games, and
bring fans of the current anime and games
into this new anime series.
But how can they add Ash into the series without
making him the main character?
And who can they make the main character of
this new series?
Well The Mega Evolution Special had Alain
as the main character of the show which ended
up being one of Ash’s greatest rivals.
Chronicles had recurring characters, and didn’t
really have one set main character.
However a lot of the main characters of each
episode knew Ash in some way shape or form.
Now jumping all the way from the anime to
the games…
If you remember, both set of the 7th gen games
heavily referenced the Kanto region, and in
fact!
At the end of the games a friend of ours even
leaves on an adventure to Kanto!
Lillie if you’re playing Sun or Moon, and
Gladion if you are playing Ultra Sun or Ultra
Moon.
Well uh… he says we’re not friends, but
that’s just cause he’s edgy deep down
he knows that we’re friends.
The timing of having a brand new set of Kanto
games around the time where these two leave
on an adventure to Kanto is very coincidental,
and I’m not one to believe in coincidences.
The Sun and Moon anime has been going in the
route of the games, but at the same time it
has been taking things its own way as Ash
and his friends went to Poni island and did
the whole thing with Solgaleo and battling
Lusamine before even reaching Ula Ula island.
So there is a chance that either Lillie or
Gladion could leave to Kanto before Ash enters
the Pokemon League.
Lillie doesn’t return in Sun and Moon after
leaving to Kanto, but Gladion does return
to Alola after leaving to Kanto for a few
months.
So I’m thinking that there’s a chance
that Gladion could leave to Kanto in the main
anime series, which will start up his own
anime that runs parallel to Lets Go Pikachu
& Eevee, and then when that anime concludes
in a year or so before generation 8 arrives
Gladion could go back to Alola to face Ash
in a 6 on 6 battle similar to how he does
in the rematch of the Ultra games, Alain was
kinda an edgy character so having Gladion
be the main character of a new main series
would kinda fit.
However I don’t know if that will sell the
series too well, and Gladion doesn’t have
really have a team that fit the series.
Kids will be wondering how to get an Umbreon
and Silvally in the Lets Go games after seeing
Gladion use it too so Gladion uses some points
there.
However!
Lillie on the other hand is a character that
could sell the games and the series really
well!
On top of that she has an Alolan vulpix and
she might be getting another Alolan Pokemon
soon which means she will have a Kanto oriented
team and Pokemon that you can actually obtain
in the Lets GO games through the GO Park,
Of course this does mean that the main anime
series will lose Lillie in the main cast,
but her story is looking like it’s mainly
done, and I think they’d be willing to take
the hit to have Lillie star in her own anime.
Her character is main protagonist worthy after
all.
She doesn’t have to stay in Kanto forever
like the games though, and could make a return
to Aloa so there's that possibility.
These two options are the main two options
that I wanted to bring up for the possibility
of the anime, but there are a few other things
that could happen as well.
We could always get a mini or web series starring
Lillie or Gladion similar to Pokemon generations,
or the mini videos that were made to advertise
Black 2 and white 2 as well ORAS.
Or maybe we can get a whole new main or mini
anime series with the main protagonists of
the Lets GO Games.
We could always have Lillie and Gladion go
on a sibling adventure TOGETHER in Kanto to
show off the co-op feature of the Lets Go
games which I think would be a pretty cool
idea to link both the stories of Sun and Moon
and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as well.
The main cast of the Sun and Moon anime could
go back to Kanto for a few episodes for another
trip, though I doubt that.
Or… maybe the Let’s Go series won’t
affect the anime at all!
Again these are just possibilities since the
Pokemon company will probably be looking to
add some kind of animated series to go with
the release of the new games.
I’m kinda hoping that we get an anime starring
Lillie and/or Gladion, but that's just me.
Do you guys think we’ll see a new anime
to parallel the let go games?
Why or why not?
If you do, what kind of anime do you think
we’ll see?
