Professor oak's lecture

[09MurphyM]

When did the anime start showing Professor oak's lecture?

 

[Adamant]

Episode 61, "Hanada Gym! Underwater Battle!", or "The Misty Mermaid" in the dub.

 

[Cybersai]

They really started that early? I always thought they didn't start until late Johto...

 

[Dogasu]

Weren't they also always digitally colored? I haven't seen any of the early, early ones, but the ones on my Japanese Jouto DVDs are definitely colored using computers.

Yep Dogasu they have always been digitally colored from the beginning

 

[Water Pokémon Master]

You can tell they used many different factors of Pokemon to learn/practice how to digital color. Mewtwo Returns, these lectures, some of the openings...

 

[Habunake]

They took a long break from like around early Advance, before finally returning for Sinnoh (at first in a more "intro to the world) and now they're "Pokemon + Oak getting hurt + Haiku

Yep...in fact, the first opening, Mezase Pokemon Master, is the only opening to not be digitally colored.

now they're "Pokemon + Oak getting hurt + Haiku

That was pretty much the formula they've always used.

 

[Habunake]

I know.

But the first couple of ones when it returned in DP had Oak explaining something like Gyms or Badges and then skips to the Haiku.

oh wow! You're right! I didn't notice. I have a few Japanese Clair episodes and I had a hard time telling whether they were digital or cel

about the earliest lectures, I know a place that can help us.
I'll be back a little later with screenshots

 

[Habunake]

Yep...in fact, the first opening, Mezase Pokemon Master, is the only opening to not be digitally colored.

Always found how the Opening had very clean digital animation and then went to the old hand-drawn style to be kinda distracting in later seasons.

Nowadays, you have the situation where the Opening has kickass animation and then the episode plays (Hippowdon) and you're like...eh?

 

[Hyatt]

Okay, I think the very first lecture was digitally animated

a picture
oh yeah, it was the most insane lecture I ever saw too. Magikarp jumped THROUGH THE CEILING.

on the topic of digital animation, what was the first anime to be fully digital and the first anime to be widescreen. I've been wondering that for a while.
