On Sunday we rolled out new HTML for 4chan's imageboards. The new code validates HTML5/CSS3, the design should appear exactly the same, pages should load slightly faster (especially long threads), and extension/user script/archive developers should have a much easier job parsing our pages. This is the first time in approximately ten years that it has been updated.

If you are using an extension or app that has not been updated for the changes, some features may not work—you will need to wait for the developer to update their extension/app to be compatible with the new HTML. If you haven't downloaded it already, try the Official 4chan Chrome Extension.

The most significant changes with the new HTML are a new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features. Check them out by clicking [Settings] in the upper-right (make sure you don't select features that conflict with those from an extension though), or visit 4chan from your phone!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

You see? With this trailer, it proves that the Pokemon creators are trolling everyone. They could make an anime just like this with awesome battle sequences,more mature and developed characters,and an excellent storyline. But instead,they continue to give us a perpetual 10 year old who hasn't truly made any major accomplishments since the show began over a decade ago. I feel like this little snippet blows the current anime as of now out of the water. Its time for the era of Ash & Pikachu to end.
>>
I disagree.
>>
Except those arent aimed or 10 year olds
>>
If there is more Bel with glasses, i'm ok with OP.
>>
The Anime isn't aimed for your age range OP.
It is still hugely popular with it's own age range.
Ash will never die.
>>
Of course it blows the anime out of the water, retard. It's a 5 minute promotional ad, the anime is a 22 minute weekly series. Do you have any idea what a budget is?
>>
>>9333687
Now imagine if they used the budget of the neverending series for a yearly two cour show. They would easily be able to pull off much better quality than what the current anime has.
>>
>>9333698
But, they would make less money.
>>
>OP is an upset manchild
>>
I agree with OP.
>>
>>9333705
Not necessarily.
They would actually sell some BD/DVDs plus the merchandise. Hell, they surely have enough money to make two series, just keep Ash's to keep the ratings and make another, actually good one to rake in dem BD/DVD sales.

They will never make another anime aimed "for mature audience".

You do realize that just because something is awesome for five minutes doesn't mean they can take that awesome and make an entire series out of it. Otherwise, movie producers would go full on television like they tried in the 90s. You run out of resources. Your best bet is to make it as to the point as possible.
>>
is defending ash some kind of cool trend now

Bump, fully agree with OP. OP is not a faggot. The current anime sucks balls and the least they could do is make this as a spinoff.
>>
>>9333826
That's why it should be just an adaptation of the games, not a weekly show with 95% filler
>>

>>9333826
A 2-cour show for every game would be kinda cool. Sure they wouldn't be able to show every single Pokemon from that gen, but 24-26 episodes would be enough to get 8 badges, collect some pokemon, have some more evolve, battle the E4 and handle a bit of the post game.

The budget they have for Pokemon is for an entire year, but they would have all the money to work half of the episodes, so maintain quality.
>>
>>9333878
Well from what I have seen there has been little to no filler in this season.
He is already fighting for his 7th badge.
Any way, a simple anime made for children aged 5-10 should really deserve no hate for it's characters and story lines from people aged around 20.

The only reason I can't bring myself to care about a good Pokemon anime is because I know they would more than likely always use the male protagonists while the females are either ignored completely or made minor side-characters that only use cute Pokemon.
>>
Like /vp/ was saying since its creation and /a/ and /v/ have been saying a few years, there should be a pokemon special anime.
>>
>>9333897
True, but look at Super Sentai, they change the theme, cast, story, etc. every damn year and they're still on business after 36 years, I'm not saying they should aim for an older demographic, just make a series for each game with the characters and the story of games, instead of shoving vampire Ash and failchu every year.
>>
>>9333591
The only reason the trailer is getting this sort of treatment is because they want to create a lot of hype for BW2, a sequel which is something they've never done before and it's certainly fine.

Btw Gainax has helped work on Pokemon stuff before. I believe in the 2 or 3rd movie their studio name is in the credits.
>>
>People think the terrible animation in this is any good
Did you not notice how awkward the animations were? Especially the choppy fight scenes and lack of fluency in their running and walking.
>>
>>9334004
>a sequel which is something they've never done before
Gold and Silver.
>>
>>9333992
600+ episodes and it is still popular, you can't really fault them for that one.
You also have to remember that is is pretty much continuous too, one episode a week.
Sure, older fans would love a please forgive me for saying this but 'more mature' Pokemon anime, and who knows they may get one, but faulting a children's anime for being a simple children's anime is just plain wrong.
>>
>>9333591

Gold and Silver weren't Red and Blue 2.
>>
>>9333992
Yeah, and that series doesn't have any actual mascot who sells half the toys for the franchise on its own.
If you were writing for the Pokemon and suggested to the higher-ups they write out this super-popular character all the kids love and buy tons of products of, they'd laugh in your face before firing your criminally retarded ass before you caused the company any damage.

To use your Super Sentai example, it'd be like suggesting they drop the robots from the series and go back to just fighting on foot.

I completely agree with OP, and please they would make way more money of of this kind of anime than from the current one. Kids quickly outgrow the current anime as it is anyway, and start looking at anime you catch on Adult Swim or something.

tl;dr Nintendo needs to make this an anime!

>>
>>9334080
But, with a more mature anime they'd appeal to a wider demographic. The kids probably wouldn't care as long as it was pokemon. When I was a kid we never watched it for Ash, we watched it for the pokemon. That'd keep the kids happy and bring more sales in from otaku(for dem girls) and from other mature viewers. And if it doesn't work for whatever reason they can still switch back to Ash, treating the first season as a special or something.

Fuck your plot-twist infested Special. Even Japan doesn't want to see some bullshit storyline that shits all over the game's.

I hope that, at some point, they do decide to do a revival or reinvention of the anime. There is no question of money, and they'd make so much more money.

A 5 minute advert for the centre point of the franchise is obviously going to look better than a 700+ episode 22 minute a week series.

If you really want to see decent animation watch some of the more major episodes or the movies.
>>
>>9336711
I was more thrilled with the new cast/potential plot rather than the animations. (Though the animations were definitely an improvement.)
I just want an animu with N and company, really.

I don't see them ever just flat out rebooting the anime series. I would like too se an actual spin off. Even if it's just a series of OVA's or whatever. How many movies has there been? A few OVA's wouldn't hurt.
>>
>>9333705

I think they would profit from it, kids would still watch it, and it would gain a larger teen/young adult following. More fans=more money, it would make up for an increased animation budget.
>>
Holy fuck that looks awesome

I think people tend to underestimate the current anime in Japan. (Then again, they sort of underestimate here) It remains one of the top anime shows there. Not necessarily #1, but in the top 10 somewhere. I think they are plenty happy with just their one show, not to mention I've never heard of them making a "mature" version of a popular series just to appeal to a wider audience. For them, they don't need to appeal to a wider audience since people of all ages watch anime anyway. (I know that doesn't prevent it from being a show marketed to kids) It would be a massive redundancy, and it would cost them more money. I'm not too sure how often they anticipate appealing to Western audiences, but the evidence is clear in that they've invented their own random symbol language that is peppered all over the anime so that the localizers don't have to paint edit those out. The dub has for a long time been one of the top shows of the block it's in on CN, if not THE highest rated show on there. True, it doesn't get ratings nearly as high as anything on Nickelodeon, but that's besides the point. It is still a popular show here as well, and it just wasn't made for people like us. It'd be cool if there was an anime like this, but I think they made the better decision for it to be a kids' show since they'll get higher ratings that way. It could've stood to be a little more mature, though, since it makes little difference in Japan.

There are very few works that make a significant profit margin in anime on a regular basis.

Kids/family shows such as Doraemon, Pokemon and many other long running shows that little kids watch. This also includes Ghibli movies, I suppose. Basically, the equivalent in the west would be Spongebob or Disney movies.

Long running franchises like Macross, Gundam also make a lot.

The average 'fanservice' or 'yaoi' (how that is even relevant, I don't know) show barely gets by in sales, and are NOT profitable. They're -generally- (though not always) made by smaller studios, last 1 or 2 cours (13 - 26) episodes and make very little profit compared to franchises like Gundam or works that have a huge audience like Doraemon or Ghibli movies.

Just like every other industry in the world, what sells has nothing to do with content, and has everything to do with how big the audience is and how famous the brand is.

No they don't. Who the hell told you that?

Also, Madoka's profit margin was big, but it still didn't come close to the other things I mentioned in terms of overall profit.
