As of recent, there has been a lot of debate as to the quality of the current state of the Pokemon anime. Because of this, I thought it would be great to create a project where the users of Bulbagarden, Serebii, Pokebeach, and Marilland could all work together to create a fully animated, twenty minute long animation. It may sound impossible, but if we split up the work into five minute segments that will each be handled by a separate forum, it can be done. This project cannot be completed by a small group of people. It will require a massive group of users. But I feel it will be worth it if we can show the world what we think the perfect Pokemon anime would look like.
Steps to create the animation:
Details and rules:
Steps to create the animation:
Phase 1-Brainstorming
Deciding on the basic story of the animation, along with all of its key events and characters.
Phase 2-Scriptwriting
Creating the script for the animation. Each person will post one page of the script, following up on the previous page. Every page of the script must be approved by two URPG graders before being an official part of the animation.
Phase 3-Storyboarding
Artists of Bulbagarden will begin to create rough sketches outlining the action of the script. Every storyboard panel must be approved by two other members of Bulbagarden.
Phase 4-Keyframes
The artists that are a part of the project will begin drawing out the scenes shown on the storyboards. (Note that the artists mentioned can submit any number of frames they want. You can just sumbit one frame and then not continue to be a part of the project if you so wish) This is where the other forums enter the project. Each forum will be assigned five minutes of the animation. Every keyframe must be approved by one other person.
Phase 5-In-Between Frames
The artists will draw the frames that connect the action of the keyframes. These frames will also have to each be confirmed by another person.
Phase 6-Final Touches
This will include many small processes, such as creating the credits and disclaimer and putting the animation into a video format. Finally, the video will be posted on Youtube, along with other places if anyone so desires.

Details and rules:
You do not have to commit to this project. You can submit one frame and then never add anything else to it, if you want (though I would appreciate it if you would submit more).
This animation will be twenty minutes or longer.
There will be absolutely no swearing or sexual content in this animation. References are okay, but please keep them at a minimum. Also, the story will not be entirely centered around anything overly mature.
