Dec. 20th, 2017 07:53 amJust finished watching Pokemon Origins, after having watched the first two episodes last night.
What I was looking for, mainly, was any ideas of what to do in order to foreshadow Ellen's use of Mega Evolutions in Unwilling Service, and this seemed a potentially better template than the main anime or the games, taking place in Kanto.
Also interesting to see how most of the original events are simply summarized rather than shown, since each of what Red narrates about is important to the plot but does not have enough of its own surrounding plot to warrant its own episode. Red is expressly on a journey to catch 'em all, but even most of the few he actually uses are caught from offscreen. This series is mostly about the completion of the Pokedex, Red's conquest of the Pokemon League, and the downfall of Team Rocket, and we can basically assume that most of what happened in-between episodes just wasn't unique enough to show in-depth.
Well, Unwilling Service will still be formatted differently from both this and the original anime, exactly due to the purpose it's meant to serve: For me to relive the games on my own terms. Most of the focus will be on the three protagonists and their self-appointed guardians, with only minimal else on anyone's backstory or what's going on with the various antagonists. Every little thing that happens on their journeys, every Pokemon they capture or fail to, every battle they win or lose, every choice they make, will determine and be determined by however the plot unfolds, with random numbers to be generated only when necessary and then given actual logic to surround whatever they affect.
For this coming visit of his, I am planning to maintain focus on the Cibus project while Brian is here, but I will look forward to re-familiarizing him with Pokemon and showing him what I have of US the next time he's here, and ultimately, how the story will unfold the further it progresses until it's finally complete.
