The broadcast opened with a show of the various Cities and Towns of Kanto, extending from Chrysanthemum Island, to the mainland and Commerce City. Each shot was designed to highlight a particularly famous area of Kanto from its settlements. As the shots transitioned from the docks of Vermilion City to the traditional temples of Fuchsia City, a calm voice started to speak over the images.
"Kanto is a Region steeped in its proud traditions. Traditions that have guided us through period of peace and times of chaos. Each Town and City has their own unique identity which has made Kanto richer for it."
After that introduction, the scene turned to Route One, showing people walking along the path beside their pokémon, all of them looking happy and relaxed on a fine summer's day while the voice went on.
"The Regional Party supports these differences, we believe that Kanto benefits the most people when we celebrate our own unique traits while coming together to face the challenges that might rise up in the future."
Shifting focus, the scenery once more turned to the landmarks and shots of Kanto, Mount Moon getting the final focus as it was one of Kanto's more famous beauty spots and it was framed by a beautiful blue sky with pokémon dotted along the land and in the air. Several close up shots followed, showing the mountain in its full beauty before ending at the peak as the voice continued in its monologue.
"The upcoming election will decide the future of Kanto, whether we as a region want to retain our individual identities while using our combined strengths to better ourselves, or to discard our history as we lurch towards the unknown. It is the hope of the Regional Party that we can combine the strengths of each City and Town to make Kanto stronger than ever. A vote for the Regional Party is a vote for a better Kanto."
"The Regional Party: Cherishing Our Differences."
The broadcast then ended, showing the symbol of the Regional Party, a stylised picture of Mount Moon.
Focusing on a map of the Kanto region, the broadcast began with a blare of martial music, the multi-coloured Kanto region showing off the divisions of Cities and Towns all soon faded to brilliant red colour that took over the whole map. The focus was of all of the Kanto Region and how borders vanished as an authoritative voice over started to speak.
"For too long, Kanto has been divided, our Towns and Cities unable to compete or make a name for themselves because of our inability to adapt to the world around us. This has to change. Kanto can be the envy of the world, its resources are plenty, its people industrious and pokémon are powerful. All these factors can make Kanto great."
The camera then changed over to the docks of Vermilion City, showing the business of the day. People and pokémon worked in sending goods out on ships, bringing produce off them and keeping the economic lifeblood of the city going. It was a strong, industrious sight.
"Our own Towns and Cities have their own traditions, but these hold us back, prevent Kanto from reaching its true potential. By coming together, we can become greater than what we are. No longer will we lag behind Regions such as Unova and Johto, but take our place among them at the forefront of development."
The camera then cut to Indigo Plateau and the newly built Legislative Building which would house the Parliament of Kanto. Outside its doors were flags of all Cities and Towns that fluttered in the wind. With the Sun shining down from on high, it looked to the world as a symbol of Kanto unity and strength, showing that the Region could stand together.
"When you cast your ballot in the election, remember that Kanto can be greater than it is. For years, we have let the scars of the past determine our future, but no more. The Unity Party promises to bring Kanto together and lead it to its bright, new future. We shall discard the pain of the past and reforge our region into something new and shining. By voting for the Unity Part, you vote for the future of people and pokémon in Kanto to create something new and stronger."
"The Unity Party: Better Together."
The broadcast then ended, showing the symbol of the Unity Party, a the same red map of Kanto from before.
The broadcast opened with an unwelcome sight to many, a rally outside Silph Company headquarters from the days of the Saffron Regime from twenty years ago. The black tops and banners showing the two lightning bolt symbols side by side was sure to bring back many bad memories of that time. When a voice started to speak, it was grim and foreboding.
"Attempts to unify Kanto have led to tyranny and trampling over the rights of the Cities and Towns of the region. The Saffron Regime, the government which came closest to it, attempted to bring the entire region under its heel, arresting dissidents and suppressing our natural rights. This cannot be allowed to happen again."
The scene shifted to the traditional sights of Kanto, its temples and old fashioned buildings. Fuchsia City and Lavender Town received special attention as the two settlements were home to some of the oldest buildings and traditions in Kanto. People went about in old fashioned clothing and performing routines that had existed for centuries as the voice went on.
"It is our traditions and way of life that we wish to preserve. We cannot allow ourselves to fall prey to another tyrannical regime. The role of centralisation threatens to do just that, to undermine our liberties in the pursuit of power. We cannot allow this to happen. We must make a stand and fight back against this encroaching attack on our freedom."
The screen turned to other traditional sights of jobs, crafts and ended with a shot of Maiden's Peak, the Town which many thought of when it came to traditional ways of life. It finally focused on the statue of the Maiden herself, forever watching out over the sea.
"For centuries, Kanto has lived and thrived with the Towns and Cities standing on their own. Any attempts at unification have resulted in disaster or dictatorship. The Liberty Party will not allow this to happen. We shall stand for the rights of Kanto that come from each settlement, those who want to make a stand for their way of life, we welcome in joining us at the ballot, so Kanto will continue to a free and prosperous region."
"The Liberty Party: Our Traditions, Our Future."
The broadcast then ended, showing the symbol of the Trainer's Union, a picture of a traditional Suzu bell in a stylised art form.
Opening with a series of still images of people and their pokémon, the broadcast showed the many different types of trainers there were. From those who trained their pokémon, worked with them and lived with them, the images showed people and pokémon coming together as they worked hard for their goals. As it did this though, a sombre voice started to speak.
"This is the reality of the day to day living with Trainers and their pokémon. They live together, struggle towards their dreams as a common unit, overcoming all obstacles as they work towards a common goal, to become Champions of the Pokémon League and reach the height of their profession."
The images changed to a very different theme as the ones shown previously. Now it showed the Gyms of Kanto, focusing on the richest, most extravagant looking that cut a clear contrast with the previous images of the simple, modest trainers. It focused solely on the finely dressed humans and pokémon who had been preened and stood to one side for obvious photo opportunities rather than acting as they should.
"But what do you do when there are those who stand in the way of your dreams? When you have people who stand for corruption, who make it their mission to see that reform never comes, even when desperately needed, how can you hang onto your dreams in the face of the opposition of the wealthy and powerful?"
Now changing tone once more, the scene shifted to a meeting of members of the Trainer's Union, people from all ages and walks of life gathered for a rally in Celadon City. People and pokémon alike held up placards, chanted and stood united in protest of what they felt was a great injustice. From the various shots, it was obvious that these were a group bound by a common cause. Human or pokémon, what mattered was that they were together and fighting for right.
"You stand up. You make your voice known and you fight against those who would keep you down. The Trainer's Union has been formed to change the system that has held competitors down for too long. We will tear down the corrupt Kanto Pokémon League and replace it with something that will benefit everyone, trainer and pokémon alike. When you vote in the election, make a step towards a better future."
"The Trainer's Union: A New Way."
The broadcast then ended, showing the symbol of the Trainer's Union, a picture of a Sun rising over the horizon.
Things got off to a bright and happy start as the broadcast opened to a sight of a nursery school at breaktime. The children were at play with each other and their toys while being watched over by various pokémon. Chansey and Butterfree watched over and played with the children as they kept them safe. It was a soothing voice that talked over the broadcast.
"Since our childhood, we have had pokémon around us. They have filled the roles as carers, companions and friends throughout our lives. No matter what happens, our pokémon are always beside us, supporting us and strengthening us through their friendship."
The video turned to other happy times, to places of work where Pokémon stood beside construction workers, putting up buildings that would make for homes, putting out blazes alongside fire crews and patrolling the streets with the police. They were all hard at work in their jobs, maintaing a professional and friendly look.
"Even in our day to day lives, pokémon work alongside us, helping through triumph and tragedy alike. It has been our privilege to share this planet with such species that make up the many and varied kinds of pokémon. It is time that we repay our debt and acknowledge pokémon as equals."
More videos followed of people living with pokémon, both species appearing unified as they worked, played and lived together. Domestic scenes were shown of the many species of pokémon living with humans, showcasing the two being together and the feeling was very much that all were considered as equals.
"The People & Pokémon Party are standing for election on the basis of repaying our debt to pokémon and finally giving them which has long since been denied. If we are to create a better Kanto, we cannot do so by casting pokémon to one side and ignoring their needs. We stand for giving pokémon completely equal rights to humans and know that when you cast a vote in the election, you can make the world better for us all."
"The People & Pokémon Party: Building Tomorrow, Together."
The broadcast then ended, showing the symbol of the People & Pokémon Party, a drawing of a human hand holding a paw from an unidentified pokémon.
Triumphant music blared as the broadcast started, showing off Saffron City from an air view. The city was teeming with life, even from this height with people and pokémon going about their daily lives and business. Images of a bright, sunny day with life in the largest city in Kanto were shown with them focusing on the happiness and prosperity everyone enjoyed as a voice began to speak.
"This is Saffron City, the greatest settlement in all of Kanto. It is home to the strongest economy in the entire region, with a cultural and historical background that is second to none. Saffron City has long stood proudly above its contemporaries as the shining light for its people."
The images changed, showing even more shots of Saffron, this time with a historical bent. Buildings such as the two pokémon gyms, the old city hall and numerous other political and sporting centres whose scale spoke of how Saffron truly was a great city. Prosperity and strength looked to be the unifying element.
"The history of Saffron City shows a settlement that has always been productive and prosperous. Its people have led the way in Kanto in science, sports and culture, showing the region the way forward in all these areas. It should be hoped that Saffron will continue to be in its position as the premier city to set an example to the others."
A final set of images flew by returning to numerous sky shots of Saffron in all its glory to the world. It was clear that this was to show, not just the glory of the city, but its superiority to all as well. Showing Saffron in all its splendour, the images were sure to inspire pride among some as it was designed to focus on patroism.
"The Saffron First Party looks to keep Saffron City as the heart and mind of Kanto. We stand in the election to best represent the interests of the City. We want to see Saffron City continue to lead Kanto into the future and by casting a vote in the election for us, you will assure Saffron's continued place as the premier place in the region."
"The Saffron First Party: Remaining First."
The broadcast then ended, showing the symbol of the Saffron First Party, a drawing of Silph Co. Tower.
