>>59064153I still don’t get why Yuyama lied and said this wasn’t Misty when it’s obviously her. >Nah we just made another character for this trailer with the exact same hair and eye color as Misty who is also dressed in yellowSame goes for not Cynthia in I choose you
>>59064244This trailer seems to have been created before the script was finished because it has no relevance to the plot of the film and seems to use early character designs (Miranda has a different outfit, the little girl might be an early design for Amber?)It was probably created by a marketing team using the limited details they had. Yuyama probably had no involvement in it and therefore just pulled an answer out of his ass because he didn't know what the question was referring to.My personal theory is that the movie was originally supposed to be a finale of sorts for Ash's story, and an older Misty would have made an appearance in a flash-forward epilogue scene. Whoever made this trailer likely had older Misty's model sheet lying around and used it.
>>59064244He didn't lie, he just misunderstood the question because the guy asking was a sperg and the interpretor probably had no idea what he was referring to in the first place.
>>59064371The "trailer" doubles as a music video for the song playing in the background, the little girl is supposed to represent Juri Ihata while Voyager is obviously meant to represent Sachiko Kobayashi, who voices her in the movie.It's really really not more complicated than that.
I swear we have this thread every month and every time it's a new batch of clueless newfags posting in it. How do you not know what this actually is by now?
>>59064371>the movie was originally supposed to be a finale of sortsCouldn't have been. The anime still had plenty of episodes left to produce after the movie's planned release. Both the original plan and the post Porygon shake up.
>>59064450The first movie is just a magnet for this shit. All these years later and people still believe Birth of Mewtwo was part of the movie itself when that was never the case. It's all layers of what retards wrote on bulbapedia two decades ago and got regurgitated ever since.
>>59064462>people still believe Birth of Mewtwo was part of the movie itself when that was never the case???It's part of the extended edition from 1999, which is the only version that's really been made available since 1999.
It's the third ending theme, Fantasy in My Pocket, which premiered with the Porygon episode on December 16th, 1997. The Pokémon anime wouldn't return until April 16th, 1998, moving from its prior Tuesday timeslot to Thursdays.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aavLVne9AQ8There was a special TV discourse over what happened with the episode, and it came back with an original episode that wasn't part of any of the prior listings (Pikachu's Goodbye).The two original characters are Voyager from the first movie (dub: Miranda, played by Kobayashi Sachiko of the Pokémon music group Suzukisan, who did a number of songs for the early franchise) and Ihata Juri, who plays the little girl in the song. Suzukisan also has Raymond, an American living in Japan who plays the character of the same name from the beginning of the movie, the guy with the Donphan who battles Ash. The third member is Imakuni?, who appears in a number of cards for the TCG, and in the GBC game about the TCG.The trailer itself is advertising that Mewtwo Strikes Back and Pikachu's Summer Vacation will be shown at the July Summer Break Road Show in TOHO theaters. There's a warning at the bottom mentioning that it contains intense visuals and animation, likely as a precautionary warning after what happened with the Porygon episode, so based on all of this, the trailer first likely aired between April and June of 1998, while the first movie premiered July 18th.We know a number of episodes that were supposed to air from December 23rd, 1997 to March 10th, 1998 (some tied in with the dates themselves by featuring the holidays), but everything got rearranged. But the anime lost 10 weeks of episodes that could be used to build up to the movie (it had two double weeks), as it should have been premiering around the time of episode 63 when Gary battles Giovanni, with subsequent weeks teasing Mewtwo. Certain events (ie. Charmander's rapid evolutions) were likely intended to be more spaced out in the schedule.
>>59064547>played by Kobayashi Sachiko of the Pokémon music group SuzukisanThis has to be the single worst description of Sacchan I've ever seen.
>>59064557I phrased it in a way that a Pokémon fan on /vp/ would be able to relate. I wasn't going to go into her much more prominent enka career. If I'm mentioning her, it's going to be related to what she represented in the franchise that was never translated over, like her first movie ending theme Together With the Wind, which the ending theme Type: Wild uses as its intro.
>>59064454Shudo did have that original idea for the movie where it would have Ash as an old man and then in his final moments think back to the events of Mewtwo. Though I don’t think he wrote a script with that idea and it’s likely he came up with it before they decided to continue the anime beyond the planned first year.
>>59064696No.
