Ash wants to become the world's best Pokemon trainer. In order to do so, he
has to capture all 150 of them. What are Pokemon? Pokemon are extraordinary
creatures with varying powers and abilities. They are collected and traded by
children of all ages.
Pokemon are caught and kept in Pokeballs, and they can fight with other
Pokemon. Also in the mix is a group called Team Rocket. They too are out to
get Pokemon, even if they have to steal them all!
Pokemon Anime Review
I initially thought that Pokemon was just about kids and their cutesy pets, so
I wasn't all that enthusiastic about it. To my surprise, I found Pokemon anime 1997 to be
quite fun to watch.
The various kinds of Pokemon are either cute or interesting-looking, which are
the show's main attraction. Although the plot revolves around catching Pokemon
and keeping Team Rocket's activities in check, it doesn't get tiring because
funny stuff erupts ever so often.
Aside from the comical parts, there are also some episodes which pull some
emotional strings. It's all very wholesome fare, something you can leave
children alone with.
The art and animation are simple and suitable. Graphically speaking, emphasis
is given more to the Pokemon rather than the human characters. Colors are very
vivid throughout, setting a bright and cheery tone.
The English dubbing is tolerable in general, but Ash sounds like a whiney
runt. I'm just glad they retained Pikachu's original Japanese voice. There's
no official English subtitled version yet though, and I kind of doubt there
ever will be.
