Pokemon

Let me grab your antension attention and let's talk about the Pokemon series. In the late 90's Pokemon was one of the first anime series introdused to America and other countries and was marketed more to the youngest audience so I won't be so harsh with it. Let's talk about... STORY: 5/10 The anime's main story is all about the character Ash Ketchum trying to make his dream to become a Pokemon master come true. He encounters many friends in his way, some just show once and vanish forever and some continue to follow him trying to make their dreams come true too as well. Well.. as a animemarketed to the youngest audience it doesn't have much of a serious plot, Half of the episodes are just wondering around, some of them feeling like mini-stories. The actual reason that makes the story bad is because it keeps repeating itself over and over. Not to mention it's censored about the Japanese culture and the show is completely Americanised, example: (Riceballs replaced with Sandwitch). ART: 8/10 Even someone who never seen the Pokemon series once in his life he could easily judge it's a 90's anime by the art, when judging the art you should judge when it was made too, you cant compare it to any current anime's art. The backgrounds and the environment are well detailed and by the way they're drawed you could simply recognise to which anime the art belongs. SOUND: 10/10 Except that Pokemon was one of the first anime series introdused to America and other countries it the dubbed version by 4Kids has the most recognizable opening theme in the world, really makes you to overflow with the passion of adventure... Once you hear it one it get's edged into your brain forever..! I have to mention that Pokemon have 9 album disks (English) talking about the series, some are shipping songs. CHARACTERS: 8/10 The main character is Ash Ketchum, he's a kid who's willing to risk even his life in some situations to save his friends, he's stuborn and doesn't give up easiliy to his believes. He has many rivals but I will talk just about Gary Oak. He's the character type who's making of others like Ash but he actually deeply respects their talents, he's a pure troll and a womanizer for a 10 year old... Misty's dream is to become a master at water Pokemons, her character is a tsundere. She actually likes Ash Ketchum and that can be see in some episodes. And lastly Brock is a about 14-16Yo in the series, he's a gymleader specialiced at rock type Pokemon, he's a sucker for any breathing been with a hole Ehm.. I mean a woman and he fails everytime to get a lady like him back, how many times he's turned down he's still trying ^_^ (My life...) ENJOYMENT 9/10 This is my personal experience, except that isn't much going on in the story section I really enjoyed watching this show as a child and even today I would still enjoy it, it all comes back to the nostalgia thing. The show is kinda slice of life too if you look it from my perspective we just sit back having our meal and watching them trying their best to because what they wanna be... I would recommend giving this series a chance :D

It's pretty unfabulous to have to review something you love when you know it's not very good. Pokemon works with a re-use formula, the story is long, it is repetitive, it doesn't progress in any way because development doesn't really happen. Art and sound is mediocre as it is a mass-produced anime. Production costs would have been sky-high if they spent any more money on it, and it shows. The characters are pretty two-dimensional. They aren't deep, you don't go into their heads, and they're all about 11-15 years old but all act the same. But why do I love this anime so much?? Iwas obsessed with it as a child, and it still has a warm place in my heart. I think it's a perfect anime for children because it teaches them some good lessons: try to be the best, do the right thing, and your friends and family are the most important people in your life. Only unfabulously mean people hate on Pokemon. You know they all watched it and liked it as a child, but my, how uppity we have all become. If you're feeling nostalgic and want to go back to when anime was about adventure and friendship and silliness, then Pokemon is for you. It's also a harmless, fun anime for your kids, too. So I totally recommend it. Fabulous, it is.

Pokemon! We've all heard of the show, and most of us have watched and (probably) loved it as kids. So this means it's great, no? I mean, why else would kids all over the world love it? Well... kids often preceive things differently than the older demographic, and they find great what others think of as garbage. So... what about Pokemon? Is this the same? Let's see... It starts out with a tiny step, like most other journeys. Our hero, Ash Ketchum, has high dreams of becoming the ultimate Pokemon trainer (I'll refrain from explaining that to you), and he starts out by sleeping in toolate! before logn however, he's gotten his first (reluctant) Pokemon, everyone's favorite mouse Pikachu, and they're off on their epic journey! The shows brings out an epic adventure of friendship, harsh battles and whatnot; everything you'd expect from a shonen that's aimed at the younger kids. It isn't that great however, as it gets very repetitive after a while; a Pokemon/person of the day formula with some kind of problem that always ends well. And that's what most of the episodes contain, with a small bit of getting further on their journey every now and then. Animation-wise, the show doesn't feature anything boastable, with flat character designs, okay backgrounds and no spectacular special effects at all. Was it because of budget restrictions (it is a pretty long anime, after all), or was it because the producers knew the kids they were aiming the show at didn't care anyway? Well, whatever it was, the animation isn't anything to brag about. The soundtrack is what you'd expect of such a show; adventurous opening themes, background music that's supposed to get you into the fighting/comedic mood, and a variety of sound effects to use for all the moves and whatnot you'll see. The voice acting is decent, but honestly - my unability to cope with dubs in anime pretty much wins over my nostalgia here, and that is the main reason I stopped watching the show some time ago. The characters are, well, what you'd expect from a shonen. The rash, headstrong main character and his oh-so-arrogant rival, and the people he travels with; the older, more reasonable (mostly) fellow, and of course, the tomboyish girl with whome he argues a lot. Yup, that's shonen for ya. The main comedic relief of the series, the Team Rocket trio, is actually a pretty entertaining one. Despite constantly neglecting to look over their mistakes and realise that every one of their contraptions fail against Ash and company, they keep on trying, knowing thinking that their boss will reward them greatly of they bring him the Pikachu. I like their stupid enthusiasm a lot, and their scenes are often among amogn the better ones in the series. So... Pokemon is basically a cliche-ridden shonen with no real thing to make it stand out. Wait... that can't be right? What about all the kids that love it? And what of all the others that love it? One of the things, I believe, is the adventurous feel of the series; who wouldn't want to experience such an epic adventure for themselves? (I know I want to, at least!) Not to mention, the great values of friendship, loyalty and trust which are presented to the viewers. That is one thing that makes Pokemon so great, and I'd try to get any kid into the show becasue of that reason alone. And that's what there is to say about Pokemon, actually.
