Yus a retelling of the first Gen saga but as you can see it's not Ash this time around, it's Red!

Ah, So Red is appearing in this film then? We actually get a competent trainer as the lead, are we? O.O
Are they rebooting the Anime or is this just a special?

from what I hear it might be a special though this retelling is based on the manga and it does seem to be a bit darker. This anime may have a more accurate depiction of Lavender Town than the regular anime did (with a true Pokémon Tower instead of the haunted house they used in the anime with Ash) and this one follows the games to a T (with a more eviler Team Rocket and Giovanni)

I have heard that it's a special also, though it looks more like it's based on the FR/LG games rather than the manga (Red's first pokémon was a Poliwhirl, and his "starter" was Bulbasaur). Charmander confirmed for best starter.

Well, It is Red, so Charmander does match for his personality! ;3
Although, let's hope Red's interpretation, that we create, is watch we hope it to be. It be amusing if the only words that Red say are "Yes" or "No".
So, is this going to be a Multi-Parter too? Considering all that happens in Game One? How they fit it all into an hour and half (two hours tops)?

I just hope the dialogue isn't in Japanese.

If it is, it will have English subtitles...

Wow! This looks pretty d**n awesome! I see that this version is actually going to focus more on the game rather than be its own original idea. I'm hoping to add this and "Wander Over Yonder" to my favorite cartoons list! Thanks for sharing this. Any idea on when it'll come to America?

I am sure they'll dub this for English speaking. Pokemon is just as big in the US as it is in Japan, so they wouldn't isolate their public like that, would they?
Like said though, Not sure if this will be an Hour and Half Special of a Mini-Series. Any idea, at this point?
Also, any Pups seen that Ash & Red comparison?

babclayman I've noticed that, when I start playing I always name Red, Ash. Mostly cause I can see a comparison.

Well, Ash is suppose to be based on Red afterall, Just like Gary is suppose to be based on Blue.
Although, What I mean is, someone made a picture which shows the comparisons between Ash & Red (e.g. Red- Wins Pokemon Tournament, Ash- Can't even make it into the Semi's of a Pokemon Tournament, etc.)
Have you seen that, Pups?

Well, some Anime's take a while to get overseas, and some haven't even come at all. For instance, the Jewelpet franchise is a few years old in Japan right now, and it hasn't been brought to America yet. So what you're saying there is not necessarily true...but you could also be right.

I just hope the dialogue isn't in Japanese. Um let's see here.. this series is made in Japan so of COURSE it's going to have Japanese dialogue first =w= which later on will likely be "subbed" and if it does really good it'll be dubbed in the future. I heard it could be EITHER a new anime or a special. Either way I look forward to it :3

I'm hoping for a more competent, menacing Team rocket. Perhaps an appearance from the female protagonist of FRLG even though I'm very curious to how they will handle the relationship between red and his rival. Anime, full length movie, just a series of shorts. I don't care. I feel like they've acknowledged the long-time fans with this one. Just like Jwitts on youtube pointed out; This is not a promotion for a game or anything new, they're just making it out of respect for long time fans.

One thing I am anticipating with this special is the fact we'll get a more true to the games version of Lavender Town and not the watered down version Ash went to in the episode "Tower of Terror"
