    They're putting WAY too much focus on Red. I dislike that he's taking the place of other protagonists.

    This pretty much means we won't get to see him be fought on Mt. Silver by Lyra or Kris or Ethan, which kinda stinks. People have been wanting to see what team Ethan had. It wrongly shafts the protagonists of the games (a bad habit in Pokémon, I mean, where's Leaf?)

    I love the idea of Red and I understand why they use him over the others, but so I completely agree. Same things with Ash. I would've preferred an ongoing series with Ash but another series actually using the game's protagonists for each generation.

    I don't mind, really. I enjoyed Origins and haven't enjoyed the main series since I was a small child. A new focus, even if it has been done before or there are other perspectives to focus on.

    This. I've been wanting two separate anime for years, but the closest they've come is Pokemon Special.

    I know they attempted to do a rotating cast with Pokemon Chronicles, but Chronicles was kind of... not good.

    If you're signed up for the newsletter, you'll have noticed that no codes have as of yet been sent. The Pokémon Company has changed plans; if you go to Via Serial Code from the Mystery Gift menu, you can instead enter the code Darkrai20 for North America, or Darkrai2016 for Europe to download your Darkrai until October 31. Again, if you've already received Darkrai from the event earlier this year, you will not be able to participate in this.

    Don't worry about saddling up to go anywhere; you can get Keldeo from the comfort of your own home via Nintendo Network! Just access Mystery Gift from the main menu of your copy of X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire, then select Receive Gift, and then Get Via Internet.

    Also, the Volcanion distribution at GameStop is confirmed to run from October 10 to October 31!

    Wow, they're really going all out for this anniversary. I still can't believe it's been 20 years already. I remember playing red and blue on the gameboy color like it was just yesterday. Did I misread or is Red finally getting his actual own anime?

    Sing for joy--you can get this one from the warmth of your home via Nintendo Network! Access Mystery Gift from the main menu of your copy of X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire, then select Receive Gift, then Get Via Internet.
