"Pockemon! I Choose You!"
April 1st, 1997
Dogasu @ 21:38 JST -- Did you get a chance to watch tonight's premiere episode of Pocket Monsters? Post your thoughts about it on the site's Guestbook (I finally got it fixed!) or leave a message on Twitter!
So, do you guys remember this spread in the January issue of CoroCoro? The one that revealed all that information about the TV series?
Well, let's take a look at the article's claims, one by one, and see how many of them came true in tonight's episode:
- The characters will all be drawn in CG: We knew this wasn't going to happen from the commercials, but still; the lack of any CG pockemon in this episode is a bit strange. The magazine's been hyping Pocket Monsters up as being this "CG cartoon" (CGアニメ) for months now, yet everything we saw tonight was hand drawn. I'm not complaining because I think the CG they showed off in this spread looks atrocious, but it's still interesting how the magazine got such a key fact wrong.
- The protagonist will be a Red-like character: Yeah, I think we can say this one came true. Satoshi (presumably named after Tajiri Satoshi, the man responsible for this franchise) seems to be a proxy for Red. He also chose Pikachu as his starter pockemon, so the article got that right as well. Wonder if he'll ever get around to capturing a Pippi, Hitokage, Zenigame, or Fushigidane...?
- His goal
will be to complete the "Monster Zukan": I guess?
Satoshi seems to be more about competing in the Pockemon League than
completing Orchid-Hakase's Monster Zukan, but I suppose he can still do
both. Also, the show called it the "Pockemon Zukan," not the
"Monster Zukan" name that the magazine made up.
- Characters from "Pockemon 2" will appear: Yup, we saw Hou'ou at the end of the episode. CoroCoro got this one right.
