What's the Pokemon Origins anime special about?

Question

If any of you saw the Japanese version, can you give a synopsis? I doubt anyone here saw it though.

A subbed version's out already...

Answer 1

Pokémon Origins tells the story of the very first Pokémon video games, Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version, including the first steps of our hero Red as he sets off from Professor Oak’s laboratory. As he explores the Kanto region, he’ll encounter the nefarious Team Rocket, battle his rival Blue, and challenge the Pokémon League.

So is this treating the TV anime as if it never happened?

Sorta but I believe there is a difference between retelling and it never happening.

And it introduced a new mega evolution, Mega charizard X, I know blastoise mega and venusuar mega are jealous.
