These shorts are great but they’re only ever shorts and mini projects and they have so much potential In projects like this, we can be invested in the Pokémon world and characters that…aren’t Ash & co I don’t think there’s even like a proper “movie length” film about Pokémon without Ash & co I might technically prefer a standard small season but a proper movie project (without ash & co) would also be great tbh (Specifically animated lol not live action with cgi)

I started to hate Ash in the Johto seasons because I felt that he was stealing the spotlight from characters based on the game protagonists. Ash is based on Red, Jimmy is based on Gold, Marina is based on Kris, etc. (Edit): Brendan made a couple cameo appearances in a couple Pokemon movies, May traveled with Ash in his Hoenn adventures, Lucas had one cameo in the Zoroark movie, Dawn traveled with Ash in Sinnoh, Ethan appeared in one of the Pokemon movies battling Ash and Pikachu with his Donphan, Lyra shows up in the Diamond & Pearl anime, Hilbert and Hilda do not show up in the anime or movies at all, and neither does Calem (Ash wears his blue jacket in the Kalos saga), but Serena travels with Ash in Kalos. Elio and Selene do not appear in the anime, and neither does Victor or Gloria.

She isn't yet a captain of of the Galaxy Team's Survey Corps, only a member of the safety guard, but is on her way to becoming this captain. Likewise, the third episode is the story of how Cyllene met his Abra and at the end of the episode, Cyllene, who is holding the wooden Pokeball, decides not to keep Abra inside the ball.

There’s a tiny event that’s activated once you get the Shiny Baneful Fox Mask in game. Going to the gate leading to Prelude Beach, you’ll find a man. We don’t get to get his name, but I think we all can presume that he is Alec. He states that he started gathering medicinal herbs on Hisui 10 years ago. In the web series, we have a time stamp of 3 years before Alec came back to Hisui. I think Past Alec must have been around the same age as the player: 15. Around the time he comes back: 18. Now around the time the player falls to Hisui: His late 20s. Hisuian Snow overall is one of the more intriguing web series Pokémon has put out recently. In conjunction with most of Pokétoons more notable animations, Hisuian Snow is the only animation series that’s been this insightful into an all original character’s life, even so much as to make him canon to the lore. The animation, the scenery, the tension, all were beautifully crafted and added to one the most refreshing games Pokémon has put out in a long time. I also love how Cyllene was the previous Security Corps Captain, but went through with heading the Survey Corps due to Alec pushing the needle.

This is the guy that says he's a doctor, right? I met him after beating the main game, before the last episode of Hisuian Snow came out. I don't think that the Shiny Fox Mask is a prerequisite. When I first met him, I thought he was a reference to Looker, a reoccurring character in the series who resembles Doctor Who. But after Hisuian Snow, I think it's more likely that he's supposed to be Alec. Though it would be much easier to say that for certain if he had a unique character model, or at the very least, he wore that same Fox Mask.

Yeah, feels weird how it's not as discussed. I've only noticed just today some Japanese artists I follow on Twitter started posting and sharing fan art.

I just love how it's understood that Zoroark is top dog in those woods. Like, even the enraged Alpha Garchomp that ate a STAB Ice Punch like it was nothing didn't want that smoke once Zoroark showed up

At 6:19 I didn't even notice Volo when I watched the series for myself I knew he had to be there cause the rifts but I did not know where. I'd almost say you just playing the music without me noticing him the first time made the PTSD so much worse.

6:20 love how you just play the *PIANO* instead say its name, nice touch lol 👌

1. Zorua was adorable baby fox 2. Well animated how scary the space-time distortion, and Alpha pokemon are. Something what the game simply can't show you. 3. Zorua's parent (zoruark) and the other two zorua were great too. Just like you said, a ghost encounter has to be quicky and scary before the ghost disappears. It also cearly show you how dangerous kitzune can be in japanese myth. Even tho the parent didn't liked humans, it still didn't touched the child while he was with it's puppy, and only gave out a warning before it was gone. I don't know what this means. Why it did not attacked when he first met with it's puppy. Usually animal parents tent to be agressive towards strangers to protect their offspring. But maybe..that zouark sensed this child is not a threat. Anyway, in Japanese version there are 3 pictures in the credit. Each of them show what is happening after this event. 1. Adament trying to learn how to play the flute from his big sister, but sadly he just can't do it. Now I understand why in the game his big sister played the flute to call that Deer lol 2. irida is getting that nice red hair bow as a gift from that woman who raised up the Noble doggo. 3. And in the end, Laventern professor introduce himself to the Corps as the starters follow him behind.

I'm im correct zoruark didn't attack the kid due to him not fearing zorua or anything. do keep in mine i only think this because at the beginning, it says that it was the way it is because humans treated it poorly, but thats only going off my memory.

This series definitely works best when looked at together. I think that's a big reason why there wasn't AS much discussion around it. Also, it's just an overall DIFFERENT feeling series than say Pokemon Evolutions which are anthology series that has each episode telling events that we know from the games. It's definitely not for everyone generally but I think any fans of Legends Arceus can appreciate what's being shown here. And I love how this basically ties to the events of the games themselves (a prelude I suppose) AND via the Mystery Gift thing, we can also get that same Shiny Zoroark mask. So now WE can be Alec (or at least we can reenact certain moments ha ha) Also, ALPHA GARCHOMP WAS TERRIFYING (even just how it was moving around when it running around fighting the Abamadnoe and chasing the humans when it spotted them). If you weren't already terrified of this pseudo legendary land shark, you MIGHT now...

I never even spotted VOLO!!!! I didn’t even know he was there!!! 😱

Riley's ancestor, Rye, is seen on the docks at the end of episode 2 just before Volo appears.

This goes to show you how great Pokémon series can be with Evolution, Generation, Twilight wings, and now Hisuian Snow. This is what we want in an anime just a lil bit more mature.

God I find Hisuian Snow to be amazing. Since Legends Arceus brought up the era in which human and Pokémon coexistence isn't yet established, I just really found the Hisuian lore to be some of my favourite stories in Pokémon entirely. I say the following in simple bias however: The people of Jubilife Village, or rather the people who came to Hisui were all practically irresponsible of their own actions. When it came to the story of Zoroark, it was clear that it was because of human actions as to why the Zoroark became hostile, yet the humans blamed the ideal of being unable to coexist with Pokémon as a means to push the blame onto Pokémon itself. It's quite glad that Legends Arceus characters were at least able to establish the chance at coexistence, even if most characters establishing the chance are from the present day, such as the main character or Ingo, and our protagonist of HS, Alec. It's just a good feeling to see that the Hisuian era of Pokémon ended up turning to the present era which established coexistence between people and Pokémon instead of separating them.

Imagine if the game had on opening similar to this short series instead of "lol this kid fell out of the sky with a weird cellphone." Everything about the game's story would have been so much more gripping and intruiging.

I absolutely LOVED Pokémon Hisuian Snow! I wish that it was longer with more episodes instead of just a short web series because the visuals and art and animation were BEAUTIFUL! I hope for more amazing series in the future and I hope that we don’t get disappointed with the Pokémon SV anime!

I liked this anime the most, instead of loud anime guy has best bud or something, it's a child who makes friend with a guy and never sees him again until a short glimpes, and the credits song was really cool

I already loved Zorura and Zoroark, plus their other forms. But makes me understand them more. I really like this. And makes me want to get a shiny Zorura even more.

after years of being a poor child and never having a nintendo console. this mini series reminded me just how much i always loved pokemon. it got me to get a couple friends together for some pokemon showdown stuff and after the introduction to the game that was i finally pulled the trigger and bought a switch and Legends Arceus. 20 hours in and ive got 190 pokedex entries 10/10, Palkia, and Dialga and im getting ready to farm up my dream team while i get the last few mons. 11 hours in i even found my first shiny which wasnt even a part of an outbreak. it was a beautifly though so maybe not the best but ill be sure to always keep it at least in pokemon home :) .

I watched all the Episodes of Hisuian Snow, and I loved the Shiny Zoura has Evolved into Zoroark

i got a heart attack when i saw volo

You know your a true Pokémon fan when you get chills hearing Cynthia/Volo theme 6:19

The first thing that really grabbed me was seeing the Zorua trying to form an apparition. In the main anime, (a Unovan) Zorua took on other appearances by simply doing a bright flippy-flip, so the prospect of this Pokémon manifesting illusions in a more unique, involved, and characterized way, really appealed to me. In this initial meeting of boy and kit, Zorua is explicitly not very good at being scary, so I thought there was going to be a plot element of it endeavoring to pull off an effective Illusion. Yeah, that never did really come back.

The studio behind this and the previous Pokemon anthology series (Origins, Journeys) should just make a full-on Pokemon movie. The animation is so clean!

Cool story: i was so ecited to meet a zorua, and first time i ever went to the alabaster icelands i kept hearing the shiny sound and when i realized it was under ground. when i finally found the source i rounded the corner and there was a full odds shiny zorua the first time i ever met one. so when i saw this i was instantly attached. felt like what happened to me

13:22 Itzy x Pokémon Legends: Arceus was a fever dream😂

"... and *menacing piano starts*" made me laugh

"Why do you care about Pokemon?" Because we can make a Pokemillion dollars in licensing off of them, that's why. I enjoyed watching Hisuian Snow, and I'd say my favourite part of it was probably the fact that it's a prequel to Legends Arceus, which I really wasn't expecting.

We need more of this i hate to wait another month or year for this top quality style of Pokemon

i can say with certainty that this is by far THE best pokemon anime, by not getting too dumb down and offering a more mature tone, it surpass any other entry ever put out in the serie, while origin is fun, it doesnt bring anything new to the franchise, as of right now, i hope the pokemon company releases more anime like this, we are seriously lacking good stories not told from the perspective of the eternal and boring child Ash

Im so sad its not a full series the ending was so good and almost made me cry the animation was amazing wish we would see more!

This series really captures the feeling of wild pokemon as wild. We were always told that Garchomp are powerful and vicious hunters and this series shows that perfectly.

I can't believe the Craftsman in the game had a son with his own lore

Just watched episode 3 after rerunning Arceus all week. Absolutely spectacular

They actually put Volo there 😂

Now I really loved this little series but I am a bit disappointed at part 3 mainly cus I wanted to see a proper reunion. At least more then what we got which was him seeing zoroark while blacking out and just the hair. It’s still fantastic, just saying a small thing I’d rather see Like an idea I had would be it plays out as normal but when he goes and finds mask he sees it, picks it up and looks at it and after a moment of looking at it he looks elsewhere and sees zoroark standing there at a distance. We get a good shot of them and maybe cut to a further away shot where we see the two looking at each other. He gives a small smile at seeing them again and zoroark m’s reaction could be whatever positive really. After a moment it walks off then proceeds as normal. It’s simple but I think it would’ve been effective

When Zoroark warded off α!Garchomp, there’s a short shot (not featured in this video) where it runs away a few paces before suddenly taking off. I wasn’t aware when watching the animation that Garchomp could fly… It was especially jarring because the animation didn’t really sell me on the idea that the shark with legs _should_ be able to fly.
