Synopsis

After participating in the Johto League, Satoshi decides to begin anew in yet another journey; this time by himself and Pikachu, in the land of Houen. Though he isn't alone for long, as 10-year-old Haruka (whom dislikes Pokemon, but just wants to come along to see the world) travels with him after Pikachu destroys her bicycle. Satoshi also meets up with his old companion, Takeshi, and Haruka's younger brother, Masato. Together, they travel along in Houen, battling Gym Leaders, entering contests, and other events on the way to the Houen League.

I didn't expect many reviews on this chp. of pokemon. The history of pokemon had done so well up until this point, as seen by many.

Mixed Feelings
So, as anticipated, I did end up enjoying Advanced quite a bit more than the Original for most of my viewing experience. Though you may have noticed that the overall score doesn't reflect that... And it wasn't for the same reasons I'd expected...

As I mentioned in my review for the original series, Hoenn was my generation. I didn't get really into playing the games myself until Sapphire/Ruby. I expected to connect better with Advanced because the towns and gym leaders and some of the special events with teams Aqua and Magma were more familiar to me. But that wasn't really the case. It was kind ...

Pokemon Advanced Generation is the second series of the Pokemon anime, including episodes 277 to 468 and featuring the Third Generation Pokemon. Objectively, this sequel is better than the first series. Many of the issues I criticized in the first series have been improved or even resolved. For example, I previously mentioned that the episodes had no connection to each other, giving us an unpleasant generic feeling, which has slightly improved. There are more links between the episodes, giving us more of a sense of continuity rather than watching random episodes.

This second series is marked by the departure of Misty (Kasumi), who is replaced by ...
