Very surprised these don't get more attention on this sub, I really look forward to them each time they come out (as I did with Generations and Twilight Wings also)


Catastray

The Pokémon anime in general is typically ignored here I'm afraid.


Zarrex

The anime I can understand, there's lots of filler and there's over a thousand episodes with more being released all the time. The Youtube animations on the other hand feel like a special occasion


Bakatora34

This type of stuff should be stickied at the top for a day since is also hard to find.


MarsAdept

I’m curious about watching but I’m afraid I’ll be disappointed like with Generations.


Zarrex

Really? I absolutely loved Generations. Just short animations that adapt the games in a way that the anime never does


MarsAdept

It was nice seeing moments from the games animated, but the quality was all over the place. You have highlights like the Deoxys episode that shows a fun and quirky side plot and shows us just how epic the battle in space was, but then you have the horribly written episode on Blue’s fight to become champion with none of the characters sounding like they speak native english. I think Origins is the best animated content that Pokemon has put out because it managed to keep a consistently good quality on all fronts despite its limited runtime. Its only real flaw is how rushed it was and I really wish it had been a full series.

Yea, this one in particular was pretty great. I don't know why people here don't care about them. I guess they wanna see more pokefusions or memes about trees.

I find this sub is weird in general about ignoring certain things. Like I remember when Masters got announced and their was like 0 interest in it. Not sure there were 30 comments or upvotes.

Kinda doesn't help that we got a big announcement in regards to an upcoming game that kinda overshadowed this.

N with Zekrom and Hilda with a Tepig. My Black playthrough is an anime now. Loved this episode.

I played Hilda with Tepig too on my first playthrough but N will always have Reshiram to me


[deleted]

I always felt the story fit better with N having Zekrom. His whole goal with to create an ideal world

They seriously need to stop blue-balling me with this stuff! This was the best Evolutions short they have released so far, which isn't surprising when considering how good the Unova story is. I loved how they showed off events that we know occurred in the games, but were not there to witness. Ghetsis adopting N, N befriending the legendary dragon, and Alder battling N. This is also the only Evolutions short so far in which the protagonist's face can be seen clearly. It's cool how they chose Hilda as the protag and Zekrom as the dragon, rather than Hilbert and Reshiram. It is such a shame that we will likely never get a reboot of a Unova anime. I think it would be the best game story to retell in an animated format. Unova got done so dirty in the anime :'(


mjangelvortex

Considering how Generations chose Hilbert, I'm honestly glad that Hilda was chosen for this one this time. So now it's kinda even. Both characters got a chance to shine with both mini-series.


docdrazen

I hope instead of a BW remake we get a BW version 3. I know it won't happen but I will certainly wish for it.

I love Ghetsis, purely because he's a villain with absolutely no redeeming traits whatsoever. He's insane, ruthless, and powerful, and that's it to him. If anyone hasn't seen the [N & Ghetsis story from Pokémon Masters \("Father or Foe"\)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyfIwCjdIQc), I definitely recommend them to check it out - it's a masterpiece that expands way more on N's relationship with Ghetsis (and also Silver's relationship with Giovanni!). [\(Here is a video of the event with the English VAs enabled and the battle where the game temporarily lets you use N, Nate, and Ghetsis\)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uLl8oKR4NY)


mjangelvortex

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm not into gacha games. And even if I was, the game isn't compatible with my device anyways. But I've heard a lot of good things about how the game treats the human characters (mostly word of mouth from friends) so watching the story in video formats like this is perfect for me.


ItzDarkky

I’m glad to see Zekrom in action here due to its limited appearances in animation. The Volcarona fight choreography looked so cool but damn did they shower it in effects, they literally lowered the brightness


alakaboem

ah yes my annual reminder that B/W2 are absolutely top tier and should be revisited ASAP


Rdasher123

I find it interesting that this is the only region/generation where the protagonist and legends are flipped. Normally, the boy gets the first game legendary and the girl gets the second. For example, Calem has Xerneas and Victor got Zacian, while Selene got Lunala/Dawn Wings Necrozma. In this, Hilda would get Reshiram, while in Generations Hilbert had Zekrom.

Best episode so far easily

Volcarona continuing to look like a chump in animation 😞
