>>32312458This had nothing to do with the original. This is just false advertising. Personally, I like it. I did not want to re-watch the original anime. But for what purpose is it set in Kanto? Just to make Ash inexperienced again? But he's always inexperienced. What, exactly, is the point of it being set in Kanto? Just false advertising to get the attention of people who liked the original? Is that it?
As I said before, I prefer it being a new story over seeing the same story again. But I have exactly zero expectations for it. I think it will be absolute shit if they have to rely on this sort of bait-and-switch marketing just to get people's attention. If it was actually something worth watching, they would not be setting it in Kanto for no real reason. This is nothing but a cash grab with a shit product.
