Well this was certainly very different but I was charmed almost immediately by the felt, you know the fuzzy part of some of the Pokemon, made me wanna reach right out and pet them! I thought the first episode was a little slow but that was fine because it was an establishing episode, we're meeting this new character who's not a trainer, nice refreshing change, and the animation was so terrifically different and bright and cheerful, but it's quite visually loveable and it gets to the heart of the matter quite gracefully, I really loved the lessons that it had to tell were done in a really subtle kind of way that wasn't too overbearing
and they didn't have to yell it out loud to you, saying stuff like you may not be perfect or the best at swimming or whatever but you're still special just like you are, you don't have to be, I loved the episode with the Magikarp that lost its rubber swimming ring, and the thrilling ride on the Dragonite, I don't think I've ever seen the Pokemon look so cool and loveable and just, gracefully dragon-like in flight before, and it had a Snorlax too, which is a big plus because he's my favourite he just does his own thing lol. This was very nice indeed and mellow and just a lot of simple wholesome fun, it's cool to see Pokemon in a different way than battling, just a very nice surprise, I thought it would be for babies going by how it looked in the first images I saw, but I was very intrigued just the same and it didn't disappoint. This really cheered me up, it was possibly the most genuinely sweet thing I've seen in ages! Wonderful, what a little joy of a show. I already want more! 💓
