Poketoon

After finding this on MAL, I was curious and after some searching on YouTube, found it and sat down with some Popcorn to watch it.

It's cute and has that Disney animation quality like "Steamboat Willy" so that was enjoyable for me. And because I grew up with Disney shorts and Pokemon, seeing the two together just made me smile.

Story -- 5/10

The story...there really wasn't one. It opened with Zuruggu (Scraggy) eating beans, and then went from there. There was zero plot at all, just a bunch of cause-and-effect scenes happening pretty much all at once. The main title is literally just two Pokemon names and ... then you see the minor title "Chase The Beans". Nothing. To it.

Art -- 6/10

The art style as said before is reminiscent of Disney, and I found it really nice to see. Bright yet subdued colors really caught my eye and the coloring of the backgrounds were nice and soft.

Sound -- 5/10

As much as I wanted to rate this higher, I just couldn't. The music just reminded me of Tom & Jerry more than Disney, and it does nothing but indicate changes in actions or events, doing nothing to really drive the story (if there was one).

Characters -- 4/10

These are two Pokemon that have nothing in common, just the fact that they both wear a sort of clothing - Scraggy its skin, and Mimikkyu it's cloak/sheet, whatever you call it. It's interesting that they used two Pokemon from different generations, Scraggy being from Gen V, and Mimikkyu being from Gen VII. I'm giving this a 'decent' score because I didn't hate it.

Enjoyment -- 7/10

I enjoyed this a fair amount, not too much, and I didn't hate it. It was just lacking? I guess in the elements they were attempting to pull from Disney.

Overall -- 5/10

I wish I could have given this a 6 or 7, but due to the thoughts before, it's not that way. In any case, I'd definitely show this to all my friends and my younger siblings. Nice job to the creators.
