Pokémon Reborn Anime

[Gabriel1]

All right, for things to be clear, I know that a Reborn anime is very unlikely.

 

However, how would you see it if it was real?

 

For me, the series would not focus on the "Gotta catch'em all" at all. It would more focus on the developpement of the characters and their interactions.

 

Characters

An anime for Reborn would need primary characters, obviously. However, who would take the place of the "playable character" is a tough question, since there are, in-game, six ofthem. The best solution would be a group. The said group would contain the characters each with a different role. What I see would be what these fan-arts show: http://kitaichan.tumblr.com/post/119283907493/c25mor-the-behind-the-scenes-dream-team

Or, if you are too lazy to go and see, it's resumed here:

-Vero: the ace trainer (the ones who wins badges)

-Alice: the leader

-Kuro: a pokémon prof. in the making.

-Lucia: the team's personnal trainer

-Decibel: pretty much the comic relief (with some hidden depths, though)

-Ari: the team's geologist and geography specialist.

 

Of course, each would get different moments of focus. As for their pokémons, events ones would obviously make part of the team of some of them (like Heracross, Metagross, Eelektross, etc.)

 

I would also see some characters get more developpement on-screen, like Fern or Victoria.

 

Story

I would see the first episodes with only a few characters, and the episodes before the first Meteor-related events would focus on the miserable life in Reborn City, as the first protagonists would begin to explore. 

Of course, the Meteor arcs wouldn't star always the same protagonists.

 

Now, what are your point of view?

I think a manga would be more likely, which I would love to see, and I believe Ame's favorite protag should be the main character

That's a pretty good idea

I didn't mean with the style of the art (it's not bad, though), just the personnalities described.

ah yeah of course

The question is, who would be the starters for each member? It sounds like according to your fan art that Kuro would get Greninja, for example.

The starters? Well, I have some ideas:

-Vero: Charizard, because it would fit him as the ace trainer of the group to have the ferocious Flame Pokémon as a partner.

-Ari: I would think about Swampert or Torterra, since it follows Ari's geology specialty.

-Decibel: A little odd, but I think that his partner should be Mimikyu, because his pseudo-bio says that he loves fairy and ghost types.

A Anime would be fun,but Pokemon Reborn has a CRAP ton of plot twists,besides,the game is still in development with only 14 gyms and there's 18 gyms PLUS the Elite 4. So we wouldn't have a full plot to re-create to finish. I'm 2000% SURE that everyone punderstands.

Those are pretty interesting ideas. I might think that Ari would start with Numel, as she loves Fire and Ground types. Having said that, I have come up with other ideas:

 

-Alice: Buneary, as it's on Ame's team now, and is a fun normal type

-Lucia: Chimchar, as it evolves into an energetic fighting type

-Vero alternate: because of the Steel typing, if he doesn't have a Mega Charizard X, then maybe a Piplup to Empoleon would work

A thing is sure: at least the protagonists and the other characters should not share the same partners. This means that the Unova starters aren't gonna be the protags' partners, because the rivals already have them.

 

Also, I have some ideas about certain specific rivalries/friendships/behaviors in such a series:

-Fern would be the rival of Vero, since he is the badge gatherer

-Vero and Decibel could be rivals, too, because of their different ways of training and fighting.

-As a leader and a caring person, Alice would be the most involved one in the meteor arcs, though the others would get often involved (especially Vero, as the best trainer)

-Lucia would be the most inerested in the way that gym leaders and others train or stay healthy.

-Decibel, being less serious than the others, would be more likely to wander off in the city and taking in part in all sorts of activities. This way, he could get many rare and beautifull Pokémons (like Swirlix in the candy shop or Shinx from the arcade)

-Maybe some shipings? A personnal idea was for Vero to get infatuated by Victoria, but not being confident enough to tell her, and when he is about to, the death of Kiki and the betrayal of Cal leave Victoria broken, as the heroes go back to Reborn City to get to the wastelands.
