For those of you who haven't seen anything on it:

They have a link to a video trailer at the bottom also.

It's not like the manga. Red doesn't originally have Poliwhirl, then get a Bulbasaur. It's more like the games.

Red has Charizard, and Blue (I don't think they're putting him back as green) has Blastoise. Red does in fact make it to the Elite 4. He meets Lance. Unless they're having a sequence before that, then I don't see why they'd include it.

Any thoughts?
