Pokémon Asia series overview trailers

[abcboy]

With the launch of the Pokémon Asia site, they have posted some Japanese audio, English-subtitled overview trailers of the series. They frankly feel like they came out of some alternate universe in which the anime was subbed... I'm also not sure when/where they aired in Japanese, if anyone knows.

"Our two protagonists, Ash and Dawn"

There is still no competition.

 

[RetroPokeFan]

"Kalos league champion."

*Laughs manically*

Gotta love how little time the Rocket trio got in some of these </3

"Our two protagonists, Ash and Dawn"

There is still no competition.

It's sad how that was a unique trait about the series and not setting a precedent for the future.

I just love how each trailer starts with an introduction to the wonderful world of Pokémon and then a brief description of who this young man named Ash is, except for the DP one in which Dawn appears instead.

QUEEN OF THE SHOW​

And after Ash gets introduced, the narrator proceeds to talk about the friendship between Ash and Dawn and how they support each other during their journey together. Awn. The other girls can only dream.

Geez, spoiler alerts. Especially for the Kalos one. First time viewers to the site will see several of the highlights already.

Geez, spoiler alerts. Especially for the Kalos one. First time viewers to the site will see several of the highlights already.

They seem to be made for distributors rather than viewers. Also, the series are long enough so the viewers will likely forgot what they saw by the time they get there.
