Player Two Start: An SNES-CD Timeline

[Golden Darkness]

The Electric Tales of Pikachu? I thought that only covered the first generation anime.... Wait, in that case, then, there would be a lot of filler

They talking about Pokémon Special, localized outside as Pokémon Adventures, and having the anime adapt from that. But given how often new chapters comes out for that manga, and how there is a new story for every set of games released, often running alongside the storylines of previous games, (excepting Crystal, which was integrated into the Gold/Silver chapter), turning that into an anime while maintaining ties to game releases is a mind-boggling task.

 

[RySenkari]

Right now it's unlikely we're going to adapt the manga. I think it MIGHT be more fun to just do something totally original for the anime, at least after the first season which will probably run close to how it did OTL. Won't confirm or deny anything for certain though.

Oh, that's what I thought he was talking about, but then he said something about the "Dreaded Anime Manga line," and I thought he was referring to the Electric Tales.

I figure that would be easier. Will the first season still have the Electric Soldier Polygon incident?

Here are some threads of interest discussing Takeshi Shudo, one of the main writers for the anime:

He's talking more about what happens when manga get adapted into anime, namely filler episodes because the anime caught up to the manga in content.

We'll see.

 

[Golden Darkness]

We'll see.

Gotcha.

I'd also suggest reading this Iwata's Ask: http://www.pocketmonsters.net/content/Iwata_Asks_HGSS

It basically states that it was Tsunekazu Ishihara (of Creatures, and formerly of Ape Inc of Earthbound fame) who made the decisions when it came to Pokémon licensing, including approving adaptations to other media. It also stated some of the circumstances around Gold/Silver's development.

Speaking of anime could Toonami come slightly ahead of scheldule ITTL due to the earlier popularity of Sailor Moon.

Wonder how TWA Flight 800 is going to be affected?

IOTL, Houston Oiler/Tennessee Titan Eddie George's mother, Dorothy (a TWA flight attendant), was going to be one of the flight attendants on Flight 800, but her son persuaded her to be present for his signing with the Oilers, so she changed flights with another attendant (who died when the plane crashed).

googling..wow....(throw out a coin), double wow.....

About porygon, that was pikachu fault mostly, ironically that explain why mother 2/earthbound take time to release virtually(the multi colour flashing of ness personal psi, but i saw it and never suffer it,xd)

Incidentally, Dragon Ball Z hits syndication in OTL September 1996, before being cancelled and revived on Toonami two years later. That should be another pop culture glance.

Ohio State U. Alum here, maybe there are some butterflies in terms of College Football as well? Although that'll be difficult to come up with how the butterflies work.

According to Earthbound's Wikipedia article and fansite Starmen.net it was due to music rights [ allegedly made references to Beatles songs without getting permission.] that keep it from getting a released in the US. In japan it was released on the GBA before Mother 3.

that was debunked several times, was more the messy code and later the effect of psi attack(the change in ness one proved it)

There might be an interesting butterfly for comics there as well. Geoff Johns (current Chief Creative Officer for DC Comics) had a sister on that flight and he originally based Stargirl on her.

 

[Nivek]

That Stuff will be interesting, but forgot another even happen this summer(1996)?.

So all stuff about pokemon anime and others, but few about games or update, something in that front our readers and lurkers?

 

[Miss Teri]

Going into Pyro's update for a moment, does Kingdom Come still get published? I ask, because Hypertime is mentioned in the update, and I'm familiar with the concept due to The Kingdom, the sequel to said comic.

Considering that TWA was probably inevitably going to have SOME plane disaster at some point around this time, this isn't going to be butterflied completely but it might not occur at the same time. Whenever it does happen it won't be in the pop culture update.

We may or may not touch on that, depends on if I can come up with something good for it.

Well what I was saying is perhaps Toonami could already be in the works. With Sailor Moon making anime popular earlier we could get Toonami slightly ahead of schedule. You said you'd be discussing Jonny Quest which was on the first program scheldule for Toonami. Maybe you could throw in some tid bits about an upcoming anime program scheldule with that.

Umm, you're going in the right, track, keep thinking about it.

 

[RySenkari]

Toonami will be MENTIONED, though it may or may not be starting early.

Any other pop culture things you guys want to see? I'm planning on doing the update on Friday so if you want something touched on be sure to let us know!
