Pokémon Origins	comment	Pokémon Origins (known as Pocket Monsters: The Origin in Japan) is a Pokémon OVA/four-episode Mini Series, made to assist in promoting Pokémon X and Y. It aired on October 2nd, 2013 in Japan and began streaming on the North American official site in mid-November of 2013. Following the long-running Pokémon: The Series itself, Pokémon Origins is the second animated adaptation of the original Pokémon Red and Blue (preserving more of the plot of Red and Blue/Green while mixing in elements of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen as well as Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver) games featuring Red, his rival Blue Oak, and their adventures across the Kanto region. The animation was split among three studios, Production I.G, OLM Incorporated and Xebec* with further assistance by Studio Izena on the latter's episodes.The official trailers can be viewed here: 1st Japanese trailer; English trailer.The official releases of the English episodes are available on the Pokémon TV webpage, and they can now be found on Hulu and on iTunes.Compare and contrast to Pokémon: The Series, in addition to Pokémon Zensho, a manga based off Red and Green that is similarly (if not more) close to the source series.A successor series of 3 to 5 minute shorts, called Pokémon Generations, released online in 2016. Aside from being closer to the games, the two series are unrelated.

Pokémon Origins / int_122e956a	type	One Bullet Left
Pokémon Origins / int_122e956a	comment	One Bullet Left: In every major battle, Charizard is Red's last Pokémon still standing, and it always wins. Even when it has a type disadvantage. Justified when Giovanni observes that Red has been power-leveling Charizard but neglecting his other Pokémon.

Pokémon Origins / int_1cc9f5e5	comment	In the Japanese version, when Professor Oak asks Green (Blue in English) if he wants to do the same and pick Bulbasaur, he says that that's not a good reason to pick a Pokémon and chooses Squirtle instead. In the English dub, Professor Oak poses the same question, but the reference to Bulbasaur is changed to Squirtle (a blue-colored Pokémon, thus matching Blue's name). Blue's response is still the same, in that choosing a Pokémon based on one's name is a ridiculous reason; however, as to the reason for Blue's selection, Blue emphatically declares that "since Red chose Fire, I will choose Water!" (Like the games, this more directly implies that Blue was going to choose whatever had the advantage over Red, as opposed to favoring Squirtle over Bulbasaur as in the original version)

Pokémon Origins / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Pokémon Origins / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The unnamed Team Rocket member we see killing Marowak looks similar to Executive Proton from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. The Pokémon Fan Club president's design is lifted from Pokémon Adventures. In the original Japanese dub, when Giovanni loses to Red in the Gym Match, he orders his subordinates to tell ALL the branches that Team Rocket is disbanded. This seems to directly refer to the Johto and Sevii Islands branches of Team Rocket. Jynx's appearance uses the old black skin coloration instead of the updated purple one. Despite the different premise, there are still several Shout Outs to Pokémon: The Series: Red watching the opening battle between Gengar and Nidorino on TV in his room, just like Ash. The montage showing Red beat Sabrina with a Haunter. Red's Charizard finishing Giovanni's Rhydon with Seismic Toss, a move Ash's Charizard was famous for using in the original anime. Much like the League battle between Ash and Gary, the last two Pokémon standing are Red's Charizard and Blue's Blastoise, with the former being the victor. This isn't the first time Red's Charizard has been a Physical specialist. The Pokémon lineup Red uses to beat the Elite Four is the same one creator Satoshi Tajiri used when he first beat the game.

Pokémon Origins / int_3d699462	comment	Curb-Stomp Battle: Red's first battle against Blue is this. Red's under-leveled Charmander is no match for Blue's Squirtle. Red's Charmeleon is shown incinerating Erika's Gym with Flamethrower. Giovanni's Nidoqueen trounces Red's Charizard in seconds at the Silph Co. building, blowing the building's top off. Red's Gym battle against Giovanni, where Giovanni's Rhyhorn alone took down five members of Red's team. Red only got to Rhydon because Hitmonlee was able to beat it to a draw. Blue, when he tried to catch Mewtwo. We don't see the fight itself, but Blue bedridden and swathed in bandages is enough of an indicator that Mewtwo is no ordinary foe. In the time it takes for a flashback, Mewtwo takes down Red's entire team except Articuno and Charizard. Articuno goes down after the damage inflicted by Blizzard gets nullified by Recover, and Charizard did little better. Cue Mega Charizard X, who turns the tables on Mewtwo.

His office is destroyed, and there's no sign of him, despite the fact that Red, Giovanni, and everyone else in the room are all perfectly fine. After beating Brock, Red gets a TM for Bide, much like in the original games. However, Giovanni does not seem to give Red the TM for Fissure after he is defeated. Furthermore, Red never seems to use any of the TMs he acquires, save for maybe Blaine's Fire Blast on his Charizard.

Champion theme that wasn't present in previous versions. Upon closer listening, it becomes clear it's the beat to Red's Theme for Pokémon Gold and Silver, slyly indicating who is the real Pokémon Master in the battle.

Pokémon Origins / int_b7920c43	type	Lost in Translation
Pokémon Origins / int_b7920c43	comment	Lost in Translation: As the English pairing for the original games is Red and Blue rather than Red and Green, Blue's green shirt/jacket (which contrasts Red's red clothing) loses a bit of its meaning (with Japan's Green Okido being known as Blue Oak in English). On the plus side, the diametric pairing of "Red's Charizard and Blue's Blastoise" actually gains meaning in the English release, as Charizard and Blastoise are the opposing mascots for the English-released Pokémon Red and Blue, respectively (as opposed to the Japanese release, where Charizard of Red Version was opposite Venusaur of Green Version, while Blastoise was sort of standalone due to the Japanese Blue Version being a separate re-release/special edition). In the Japanese version, when Professor Oak asks Green (Blue in English) if he wants to do the same and pick Bulbasaur, he says that that's not a good reason to pick a Pokémon and chooses Squirtle instead. In the English dub, Professor Oak poses the same question, but the reference to Bulbasaur is changed to Squirtle (a blue-colored Pokémon, thus matching Blue's name). Blue's response is still the same, in that choosing a Pokémon based on one's name is a ridiculous reason; however, as to the reason for Blue's selection, Blue emphatically declares that "since Red chose Fire, I will choose Water!" (Like the games, this more directly implies that Blue was going to choose whatever had the advantage over Red, as opposed to favoring Squirtle over Bulbasaur as in the original version) In the Japanese version, Red considers the term "Sepultura" (which was the nickname of a Charmander depicted on the back of the Japanese box packaging of Pokémon Red, meaning "grave" or "burial" in Spanish) as a possible nickname for his Charmander, but later decides against it and doesn't nickname his Charmander. The back of the English box of Pokémon Red contains a screenshot of a "Sandshrew VS. Meowth" battle instead. As a result, in the English version of Pokémon Origins, when posed with the option of nicknaming Charmander by Professor Oak, Red ponders for a second but decides to keep the name Charmander, without suggesting any possible nicknames aloud at all.
