Pokemon Generations

TL;DR: If you are a fan of the Pokemon Games then watch this to revisit those timeless moments for nostalgia explosions! Pokemon Generations is an ONA that pays homage to all the fans that played the Pokemon games in the last 20 years. From the black and white days of Kanto region to the bright colour 3D days of Kalos region, the anime captures a quintessential moment from each of the video game. The story isn't simple nor complex, they are just clips from the game accentuated to new heights. Though the episodes aren't connected to one another, together delivers the nostalgic explosions. Although thefirst few episode's pacing will leave you feeling disjointed but later on the pacing improves to establish a good satisfying ending. This anime doesn't have any plot holes nor any unexpected twists or turns since it's just moments from the game reanimated. However, the villains and the legendary pokemons really stand out in this series. It could be the nostalgia factor of seeing the video game characters coming to life but the voice actors for both the dub and sub should receive the real credit for making them this fleshed out. To be fair, for an ONA, this show really stands out in terms of its Art and Sound. The artists use of hand-drawn animation in the first few episodes to blended CGI for the latter part of the show highlights how the game franchise evolved over the 20 years. This transition aspect makes it memorable for the viewers. Despite all, the pokemon battle animations were not blended well but one must keep in mind this is also not from a big budget studio. Regardless, most of the drawings of the characters reflected well from the game and each character did stand out in their own way. Moreover, what the ONA lacked in the art department, it made itself up in the sound department. The show doesn't have an OP & ED song but the beginning of the first episode with the classic opening sequence from the first original handheld game really evokes all the nostalgia from the childhood. Each subsequent episode the sound director made improvements upon that initial opening songs to showcase its 20 years journey. Though I won't listen to the OP/ED song again but for an one time experience it's good, nothing great. Overall, Pokemon Generations is a good standalone ONA. Its purpose was to evoke nostalgia and show how far this gaming franchise came in the last 20 years and it did just that. Surely fans of the franchise will only see the positives, however there were few negative aspects, such as disjointed pacing, improper animation blending and falling short in the background score. Regardless, if you want to spend an hour just reliving your childhood memories with endless nostalgia, definitely hit up this anime for a one-night stand sort of experience. P.S. Thank you for reading my review. I'm always open to criticism and suggestions. I hope you found this short but supaishi review helpful.

((first review & casually done.)) This bite sized series is pretty enjoyable even if you haven't played the games, or if you want to watch for the nostalgia and some spicing up. The biggest complaint however I can make about this series - although to be honest it's probably purposeful; is that at times it can slightly feel that it's only for the eyes of those who have played the core series games that are gone over. Story: 8/10 Character: 7/10 Sound: 7/10 The soundtrack is based off of the games and a bit remixed, however it doesn't particularly stand out a lot except for a few instants.Nonetheless it's nice and enjoyable and serves its purpose. Art: 10/10 The animation isn't all too new as far as anime styles go, but nonetheless it is wonderful; as well as the voice casting! The fluidity of the style is nice and crisp, the color schemes are great eye candy and the lighting and angles are splendid. The action scenes tend to take on a slightly different style, but one that fits perfectly with the main and is fabulously explosive. In general everything is done well - the presentation of the story and characters, the visuals and sound, etc. It can hit you in the feels in various ways - overall it's a great show and does have an exciting "feel good" essence, and that great Pokémon essence too. However some episodes are a tad dull, and mentioned feeling does lower the quality of how the content is presented. Despite this, like many others, I still kinda wish it wasn't over or at least each episode was a bit longer, or wilder yet, it was an actual full length show. Story: 8/10 Art: 10/10 Sound: 7/10 Character: 7/10 Enjoyment: 9/10 Overall: 8.2/10 I recommend reading the reviews of others too, for more in-depth ratings and a wider scope of taste! (=

I think this series had a much better story, art style and character development than the main show. It contained more or less the best parts of each generation. While I think there could have been more Johto and Unova episodes, overall this is an amazing series and I enjoyed it to the fullest. We discovered more about the main characters of each game as well as several events and minor characters. A really good voice acting, if you're into English Dubs. I must say much better voice acting than the main series and a lot of familiar voices appeared from other anime.

Pokemon Generations – SS Overview (Short and Salty Overview) Nintendo actually listening to the fans and authorising The Pokemon Company to get this made was such a shock, I had to sit down. I thought this was a one time thing (referring to Pokemon Origin) but low and behold they made another series for the older fans. Now I know all ages can watch this but please lets be real if they’ve got the yearly pokemon anime quota (Pokemon Sun & Moon recently with XY&Z being the previous) what reason have they got to make this unless its for the older fans. Better yet there in English withquite good voice acting and additionally the animation is pretty solid. WHAT WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN? All seriousness Pokemon Generations is a great short series recollecting the previous video game instalments and shedding new light on the Pokemon universe. I would recommend any Pokemon fan to watch this, it’s really good, just watch it already… Pokemon Generations – 8/10 Giving us all the good nostalgia.
