Let's settle this right fucking now:

Give reasons why you think it will be good or bad. Just don't be a dick and most importantly, say what you actually think.

We haven't seen enough to make a conclusion. We need to wait for it to actually air.

It can never get better. It can get less worse, but never better, unless they go backwards. They were great, till gen 4. Gen 4 was fine, but that's when the storytelling got complacent and stale, and now it's a predictable pattern. In gen 5, they had a little spice left, but by gen 6 it was all gone. No one has backstories anymore, Brock is gone, and Ash is still 13. It's the same episode over and over, team rocket, blast off, ok, cool, next. They don't even try anymore...

Looks worse
And not only because of the art change, but also the school setting and the words they are using to promote the new series like "full comedy slapstick"
I expected Alola to be the perfect setting for a new journey, so I'm sad to see that the plot is "Ash wanting to graduate"

The Good:
>No Pokémon League/Gyms means the story will not be formulaic like previous seasons
>Absence of the SM protagonists means that all of the supporting cast could have pretty solid personalities since they will be based off their appearances in the game.
>The animation quality could potentially surpass expectations.

The Bad:
>No Pokémon League means very few people on the internet will actually care to see what happens.
>The Pokémon anime is just a glorified merchandise commercial, as it has always been. Unless you want to see The Pokémon Company shill Charizard and other popular Pokémon, you're wasting your time.
>The animation fluidity may not be consistently good, resulting in QUALITY meme frames that will be spammed every week.

At first I though how it seems that they where going the yokai watch way, but then I recalled another monster (robot) collecting anime with simple art style in a school setting.

Medabots the first season is awesome, so I have hope for this.

If anything, discussion should be a lot better now that the anime won't canonically and blatantly pander to shipperfags, and go back to just leaving every shipping thing to the fans' delusions.

So you actually liked BW?
>>28890902
But why is it promising, exactly? The animation and the new scope of the show seems more like a regression. I know we love the "children anime" meme a lot, but while it's obviously true that Pokémon's main target is children, older viewers were still part of the focus, albeit they weren't the centre of attention. Arcs such as DP and XY were clearly aimed at a broader demographic than BW and SM, and while there are many people here who claim otherwise, the overall consensus is that DP was great, BW was a low point, and that XY was great until Ash's JUST.

He said it himself, the animation seems much more fluid and lively than before. I'd bet he hasn't enjoyed recent series for their scripts and such, but maybe this time it'll be entertaining visually.

That's certainly how I feel.

You can have good animated shows that have shit stories.
We now know that the next series will be full of slapstick. I'm not saying that slapstick shows are inherently bad, but it is a very radical change and I'm not sure they'll pull it well. You may argue that the animation is not as bad as people are saying it is, but that alone won't sell the show.

People like to bitch about this type of lazy/sloppy art style but I like it because it makes action shots look so fluid, and yes I actually liked the Naruto vs Pein fight....and plus, its a kids show. If you wamt borderlone photo realism then you can watch shows like Monster and Death Note til your hearts content. Also the animation this current season was consistently higher quality than normal so I have faith that it will be fine.

Better.

Silly is what the ashnime needs to do. Do it like XY and you just get a bunch of shitty stale COTD formula episodes. Yo-Kai watch anime is better because it actually tries at comedy instead of a serious plot.

Also the new animation style is better if you don't like looking at stills 80% of the time

The anime was irrelevant to me after DP, I was getting too old for the anime. XY brought me back in because hype as fuck, then became dead to me permanently when they had ash lose for no fucking reason,.

The writers don't know what they're doing.

People have way too high expectations on it to be better because it will be sillier and maybe more comical. People also have too high expectations on the animation. It's still the Pokémon anime so it will not make any super drastic changes.

I honestly don't get what part of all we've seen so far looks good to people.

>The animation will be better

So far, we've seen nothing that indicates that. It looked the same as XY, but with a really shit art style.

>No Pokémon League, so Ash is going to school

That is the worst thing that happened so far! Ash has been through 6 Leagues, one of which he placed 2nd in! He also beat the Battle Frontier and Orange League. It's way to late to have him go to a school to learn what type a fucking Pikachu is.
I'm sure he'll end up taking the Trail Challenges anyway, but what I don't like is that they could've made up ANY reason for him to do so, but they choose to have him, the guy who was almost the Kalos League Champion, attend a fucking school.

>It looks like Medabots and therefore it will have great writing

No, that's a really, REALLY shit reason to believe anything.

>Lillie will automatically make the season the best one yet!

Yes, Lillie will be the best thing ever. Satoshi-kun will fall in love with her and they will make sweet love the entire season. By the end of it, they'll have 2 tiny little squid children, one who looks like Lillie and one who looks like Ash. It will be the best thing ever.

>No SM protagonists

This might be the only good decision they've made so far. The shippers have already spammed the board with Lillie and Mallow. If Chicken were in, the shitposting would've doubled.

The only ones who hate the new anime seem to be the Serenafags and those who want Ash as boring robot with little-to-no personality and the charisma of cold porridge.

Considering the number of Squidshippers we are seeing, even though we haven't even seen a single of episode with Lillie in it yet, I think Squidshipping will be way worse than Amourshipping.

Worse because of this..

>Technically, the animation is stepping down in quality. And don't blame on OLM using digital 2d software, because with Toon Boom and other software you can do fluid, neat and on model Sakuga. The lack of depth and shadows in the designs just make it more "Ore no itami wa omae ijou da!!" levels of cringe than lively. This is not the style OLM uses to do, this looks more like the shit Toei Philiphines does with some DBSuper/One Piss/Soul of Gold/SMCrystal episodes.
>The school setting deviates the WHOLE anime premise from the games itself. Yeah, in past generations, the anime wasn't faithful to the games, however the main premises (gyms/contests + taking down evil regional team) were untouched. This time, they are shaking the entire formula and absolutely deviating it from the main prmeise of the games (passing the trials and beat every Kahuna). A terrible way to promote the games.
>Ash literally downgrading his longlife dream of "becoming a Pokémon Master" to "graduate from school" (him being the Nobita+Kosaku Anakubo's Red type of character makes that task almost as impossible as wanting 2.B.A. Master) is just a letdown for the youngest audience (the one who has very high dreams).
>Pokemon had comedy in past series, however, turning that into a "festival of gags" is just going to hurt the series and the credibility of the main character. If they wanted to do a "gag filled" series, then why didn't they just make an adaptation of that shitty Pocket Monsters manga with the talking Clefairy?

The new premise is gonna bomb very hardly in their first dozen of episodes (considering they've already made more than 20 episodes). TPC is gonna make severe changes (maybe introducing anime-exclusive gyms with the Kahunas being demoted to mere gym leaders and maybe making an orange memeleague) after the 1st 25-26 episodes.

But Ykai Watch doesn't have a linear main quest derived from games (games doesn't have a plot). Pokemon has a linear quest. A slapstick comedy series just doesn't fit with the raw concept of the core product they want to promote (the games).

See, this is why I wish the ashnime were discussed on /a/: you autists seem to be physically unable to keep yourselves in your containment thread.

Now, your shit cartoon was never good to begin with (OS was a mediocre comedy gag anime) and if you're still watching after 20 years of nothing happening, then you have some kind of brain disease. So yes, SM will be shit.
