Hello Pokémon fans! In the past few days, I've been thinking of all of you working together to make a web series that directly retells the stories of the mainline Pokémon games. The series will be hand drawn in a similar style to the anime, but with lip sync, Pokémon battles will be in real time, also similar to the anime, the Pokedex entries will be literal but more controlled like the Pokémon Battle Royale series from Terminalmontage and Lockstin, and both the humans and the Pokémon will have full voice acting, each with different accents and pitches. Also, after Legendaries are caught, they will break out of the Pokeballs because they still need to be active to maintain societal and/or cosmic balance. The main heroes are silent unless they have official voices in the anime (like Dawn and Serena), and most of the heroes will have appeared in Pokémon Masters. The music will be taken from either the modern Pokémon games starting with X and Y, or have fan made remixes.
Here's my plan for the series:
The prologues for each season will have the professors for each region greet us, with Professor Oak (for Season 1) directly thanking us, every Pokémon player on the Earth, for helping him learn that over 1000 Pokémon exist in the Pokémon world.
Season 1: based off of a combination of Red and Blue and FireRed and LeafGreen, with the music from Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee.
Red will be the silent main hero, with his starter being Charmander, and it will also feature a partial love story between Red and Green (the latter can fully talk). An important event that should happen is when Red catches a Pikachu in Viridian Forest.
Season 2: based off of Heartgold, with the Pokemon exclusive to Soulsilver also being included. Fan remixes of the music will be used, especially from Zame and Pokestir.
Ethan will be the silent main hero, with his starter being Totodile, and Season 2 will be twice as long because of the post-game allowing you to explore Kanto.
Season 3: based off of Emerald, with the character designs and music from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Brendan will be the silent main hero, with his starter being Treecko (Torchic fits better with May because of the anime), and will also include a partial love story between Brendan and May (the latter is the rival).
Season 4: based off of Platinum, with a combination of fan remixes and official music from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Dawn will be the fully voiced main hero, and her starter will be Piplup like in the anime, but also, there will be a direct love story between Dawn and Cynthia to add on to the main story, if it's okay for two people of the same gender to be in love with each other.
Season 5: Part 1 will be based off of Black (with Pokémon exclusive to White also being included) and Part 2 will be based off of Black 2 (with Pokémon exclusive to White 2 also being included). The music will be fan remixes, especially including Zame's fantastic-sounding remix of the Last Pokémon theme.
Hilbert will be the silent main hero of Part 1, with his starter being Oshawott, and Rosa will be the silent main hero of Part 2, with her starter being Snivy (Tepig fits better with Hugh because of his hot-headed personality). I think Season 5 will be peak because Generation 5 has the best stories in Pokémon.
Season 6: based off of Y, with the Pokémon exclusive to X also being included, especially Xerneas, who will be the recurring supporting hero. Starting with Season 6, the music used will be consistently from the games.
Serena will be the fully voiced main hero, with her starter being Fennekin like in the anime, and a love story between Calem and Serena will also be included. Lysandre, the main villain, will be mentioned multiple times, but he won't appear until the first Pokémon battle with him, which will likely make Lysandre a better villain. I think Lysandre's plan should be reworked as well, in which instead of copying Cyrus' plan of creating the perfect world, Lysandre wants to use Yveltal to destroy all heroes, leaving all villains to take over the world. Also, the humans will have French accents and sometimes use French words.
Season 7: Part 1 will be based off of Sun, with Pokémon from Moon also included, and Part 2 will be based off of Ultra Sun, with Pokémon from Ultra Moon also included.
Elio will be the silent main hero of Part 1, with his starter being Litten (because Incineroar is awesome, and Incineroar will have a similar voice to his appearance in Smash King 2 Decades by Tigura21), and Selene will be the silent main hero of Part 2, with her starter being Rowlet.
Season 8
Part 1 will be based off of Shield, with Pokémon from Sword also included, as well as being based off of the DLC. Gloria will be the silent main hero, and her starter will be Sobble, because Inteleon is basically James Bond as a Pokémon. Also, the humans will have British accents and use British phrases.
Part 2 will be based off of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Dawn's ancestor and past incarnation, Akari, will be the silent main hero, with her starter being Cyndaquil, but which clan will Akari join? Let me know in the comments.
Season 9
Part 1 will be based off of Scarlet, with Pokémon from Violet also included, and also being based off of the DLC. Florian will be the silent main hero, with his starter being Fuecoco, both Sada and Turo will be the professors, and there will partially be a love story between Florian and Nemona. The humans will have Spanish accents and sometimes say Spanish words.
Part 2 will be based off of Pokémon Legends: Z-A when it comes out.
So, what do you think about me wanting the Pokémon fanbase to create an animated web series directly based off of the mainline games? Share your thoughts in the comments below and also upvote it if you want to. I also think Giratina's theme from the anime should play when Giratina is summoned at Spear Pillar in the events of Platinum and Legends: Arceus, which would give off a sense of both dread and nostalgia.

Also is "fun and games" the right flair for something like this?

They're like the middle child. For example, wartortle, the pokemon squirtle evolves into. It gets overshadowed by blastoise, which some can argue is less interesting or preferable than wartortle.
