Translation by Adamant
An adventure in the Alola region , which is filled with new Pokémon!!
Starts November 2016!!
Its name is…
Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon
The new Pocket Monsters anime starts soon!!
In November, the Pokémon anime undergoes a renewal! What kind of adventure will it turn into next!?
The new adventure is filled with comedy!!
Being in a new place for the first time makes Ash tense up… or not. There’s no time for that when a slapstick adventure opens up before him!
The setting is a Pokémon School!!
Ash enrolls in a school! Here he’ll learn and have fun together with Pokémon: No matter what the coursework is, it’s sure to be enjoyable!
*He’ll meet his classmates too!
Feel like Ash with the Z-Ring!!
Ash uses it in the anime, too:
Ash obtains the Z-Ring in this new adventure! And it’s already available as a toy!!
*Finish them with a Z-Move!
Insert a Z-Crystal, and…
It will shake as it unleashes the sounds and lights of the super cool “Z-Moves”
Pokémon Z-Ring (comes with 1 Z-Crystal): 2600 yen + tax
Pokémon Z-Ring & Z-Crystal Special Set (comes with 6 Z-Crystals and a collection board): 4490 yen + tax

You know it was jarring at first, but I don't think the new art style really bothers me all that much

If the reason for this massive 180 really is yokai watch, the why? Pokemon still dominates the rest of the world and while it may not mean much, I've seen numerous people mention how YK is starting to peak in Japan. Granted, I guess there's still the fact that Japan apparently hates serious, shonen pokemon, but come on. Still gonna watch and hope for the best.

Yeah I keep hearing that Japan doesn't like the serious direction that the XY series took, through I don't know if that's 100% true or not.

I honestly can't comprehend japan's taste.

I don't think this is especially "because of yokai watch" just that we're no longer in 1998 when a kid going on adventure alone and traveling with people he have just met, mewtwo killing ash, and other such things was'nt a problem for anyone. nowadays, you make a show for kid, if you put anything serious on it, you have the morals guardians and sjf on you ass, complaining about everything.
also, second and more important point, the pokemon anime is quite merchandise seller franchise, and younger kids are more akin to ask there parents for a toy out of their fav anime than preteen. It's also easier to make toys (with collectible z crystals) out of it than a more serious thing. Hence the change from Shonen to Kodomo anime.

As to that first part, I highly doubt that's the reason. The games got rid of gyms, so now they gotta try something else. They could just make it sort of like an extended Orange League depending on how the Island Trials are handled in the games, but I doubt they give enough of a shit to do that again. Plus high school setting is a popular thing in Japan.

That second part is depressing because it reminds me of what happened with Megas XLR.

Honestly, the animation looks like it's drifting into One Piece territory with this new season.

Lg_negi, if that was just due to the absence of gym, they could have gone for more focus on the myth arc, the aether fundation, and the fight against team skull, or absolutely wathever they want, since they where free. but it would have mean "going more shonen anime that they ever did" (and action shonen is also one of the most popular genre in japan) ,while school setting not only cash on the popularity of school setting, and also make the show more inofensive and kid oriented. Sure they have the occasion to do this thanks to the absence of league, but that's still one of the reason.
