{Anime review} - Pokemon: The Origin

{WARNING}
This is a REVIEW of the Pokemon Origins anime series and therefore WILL contain major spoilers.
{If you DON'T want a spoiler then it is highly recommended that you watch the series first}

[[[OBSERVATIONS]]]
The Pokemon X and Y anime is FINALLY here and of course much has been upgraded since the previous generations of pokemon anime's..
Things like graphical design (Color and animation) and scene layout
(quality of of storyline/event distribution).
Since The Pokemon Origins anime fits into the same generation as the X and Y anime,these same things were expected (and also delivered) for the Origins series.
Of course these are things that I and many fans out there should expect to see...but there also is a few details on the anime that weren't expected...
Other than the graphics and storyline display,the pokemon company has also taken some time to improve on the battle mechanics and animation.
*TECHNOLOGY
First up,the technology introduced in the plot of this anime is far greater than any that has ever existed in previous anime's of the Pokemon series.
[Pokemon gyms and other battle facilities in the anime now have screens which monitor and project the LIVE status of Pokemon health in battle.
{Causing the anime to to tie in much more with the health bar layout of the game series}
*ITEMS AND ACCESSORIES - {MAJOR SPOILER}
The anime also (SHOCKINGLY) includes the existence of the Mega stones..
These Mega stones were never existent in the original story of the Johto/Kanto regions and instead were only originally introduced since the official announcement of Pokemon X and Y {The Kalos region}.
Red uses the Mega stone on his Charizard in order to aid with his attempted capture with Mewtwo.
[[[CONCLUSION]]]
This appears to be somewhat of a baby step for a possible path in the Pokemon anime series that has long been asked for by major fans...
Of course upgrades to battle mechanics is simple enough and this anime is seen by many as a just a plain remake...but NO!!..
LOOK AT THIS PROPERLY..
The creators of this anime have made sure that they went as far as changing the original storyline..
{I RECKON THAT THIS WAS DONE TO PROPERLY FIT THE JOHTO/KANTO STORY WITH THAT OF KALOS}
I'm not saying it WILL happen..but it to me seems like a good idea to remake the stories of other region's as well.
I don't take this anime as a simple remake..I take it as a NEW BEGINNING FOR THE SERIES....
MAYBE...JUST MAYBE...WE MAY SEE RED IN THE KALOS REGION...
LOOK AT HOW FAST HE SPED THOUGH JOHTO AND KANTO...
AND HOW LONG ASH TOOK HIMSELF TO GET WHERE HE IS...
RED IS POSSIBLY COMING BACK GUYS...
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A BATTLE OF ASH Vs RED..
