Wish most of pokemon was more like this

You mean good?

This is a backstory keep that in mind

Guess his dad was right about not being able to co-exist with Pokemon. Look at what that first interaction got him! Right over a ledge, falling to his death!

Regular Pokemon Episodes : We beat Team rocket who did some goofy shit and we blast them, let's have a pastry making competition or let's go visit our friends.

Pokemon Special : I, a Pokemon am hunted by a bloodthirsty mob, I must carry my child while escaping spears, trying to escape through a river, but my child dies and my sorrow and hatred turn me into a new ghost type killing and reanimating me. A child will fall off a cliff trying to play with one of my descendants.

Lol 😂

Rip Akio. It was a beautiful yet short journey.

Or mommy Zoroark is gonna save the little Zorua and the kid while she's at it.

These shorter eps always look so good!!!

i really like pokemon shorts, they have beautiful animation, and this being produced by WIT studio :3
Also that intro, depicting hisuian zorua/zoroark origins is heartbreaking :c

Yeah

These kind of short series animes are really amazing and beautifully animated.

Bot

Guyyysss that Zorua is so cute oh my godddd T-T Wonderful animation and world building!! Really makes me appreciate these shorter animations, even if I wish we could get a full series in a similar vein haha

So he died

shiny zorua at fist check. luck guy!

mastapiece. Has a similar vibe to Heike Monogatari

Human and pokemon already coexist.

Maybe it's a show set in past ages of Pokemon world

I wish this was an actual series it would be 10x better than what we have, currently!

Sheesh my man got killed right in the first episode F

What a beautiful moment, a moment before death. Don't get me wrong, no matter how beautiful and funny the ending scene is, he is still falling off the cliff.

man that was beautiful, enjoyed every second of it, and here i was spending a good amount of my day away from this episode the moment i saw pokemon in the title

Imagine xy with this animation

Gonna be honest x and y still looks good despite it age today

Well he dead

Honestly something like this would be a great start to a pokemon game (like legends)

Man scared of pokemon. Boy goes out and finds a baby pokemon (event occurs and bonds) they bring it back home and he joins a research team and travel and gather pokemon and solve great mysteries

Wonder how it'll go finding them? Zoroark on a rampage and men fearful defending against a pokemon and finding a boy

Soooo WIT studio is doing the entire series or just this ep?

Three episodes

Watching this In February 2023 is interesting

The story might be predictable in the first episode but damn dude, this is some quality.

Isn’t predictable kinda Pokémon though

and that was the story how a kid and a pokemon met there last days -- The End

Hey it's Jiraiya and Yamato xD

Beautiful. Want to see more for sure

So beautiful ~

We have to wait 3 WEEKS!? 😭

Still need to catch the god pokemon in this game... sigh

first encounter shiny Zorua lets fucking gooooo

This was really nicely animated
Wish main series was like this

Love how people r criticizing a show actually made for 5 year old children for not being as intense as this one. 😂 For godsake get u act together people.

true. but the pokemon company should know that they have many older fans. Fans with purchasing power, who'd love a more grown up show

The Pokemon games have many older fans too, but they keep catering to newcomers that focus too much on mobile games which cause them to put less effort in the main series.

Despite all that it still sells and they'll keep doing that.

Love this! Can't wait for the next episode.

Whoa

more beautiful than the actual game...

Why only 6 minutes, why not full length episodes?

Also, where is Akari?

Pokémon tend to do shots like this over full length episodes when it comes to side stories.

Given this is Alec’s story, the protagonist of the games probably won’t be too prominent in the show.
