Very good episode, the animation during the fight was amazing. I like how they showed continuity, with the series leading up to the exhibition match between Leon vs Raihan, which was the start of sword and shield. It was also pretty cool to see Gloria and Victor (SWSH protags) at the end there, implying that now is the beginning of the SWSH story.

man if only sword and shield game was as good as this, it was pretty good series that makes you wish actual game was like that but I hope we actually get something like this in future.

A grand finale to end these amazing shorts. Each and every episode was so freakin enjoyable. Loved Nessa and Milotic's episode the most and the next would be this finale.

Leone and John's moment was lit af and quite touching too. I really wish they'd make more pokemon anime adaptation which are true to the games.

Sword and Shield (Game) is a let down but hopefully they'll redeem themselves with Diamond and Pearl remake.

Leon bringing the kid to the battlefield was really sweet, even if it did make me worry about collateral damage lol

The kid's dream changing from just him reaching out to Leon, to Leon grabbing his arm to help him realize what his dream really is was real heartwarming

Are those two at the end the ones I'm thinking about? Nice last episode.

Outstanding episode and great series overall... Amazing direction, beautiful music, eye-popping animation (that sakuga in the end... Omg), strong script, emotional message... And show an intriguing side of Leon (does he really enjoy being the Champion?).

Solid 8/10 from me overall, just wish had more episodes. But it was enough to give us that taste of what Pokémon universe can offer in terms of story and animation if put in the right hands (I got a new conception about Shingo Yamashita as a director after this). Unfortunately it's something that Pokémon Company has no interest in investing in it...

so im assuming the theories about John’s friend, whose name i already forgot, being a ghost has pretty much been debunked?
that said, i love how it came full circle back to John’s story and he finally got his wish to seeing Leon. love the SwSh MC and FeMC cameo at the end.
one of the better series of shorts ive watched. 8/10

The episode was awesome. I played the game and enjoyed it, but I still question the safety of Dynamax fighting on the stadium full of people when the pokemon are freaking huge.

Respect to that Corviknight driver who stayed behind in the middle of the wilderness.

Anyway this was a great way to end this mini-series. I wish they'd do more of these type of shows like the Generations one. I'd love to see Pokemon from the perspectives of all the different NPCs in the game again.

The battle was also a fullblown sakuga fest damn. It looked amazing af.

Overall this series didn't have much story but the creators were still able to surprise me with the fact that they actually cared and put some effort into this. Twilight Wings was a little bit more enjoyable for me than Pokémon Generations.

so that ending confirmed corviknight guy as the main character lol.

Gigantamax charizard animation was amazing.

Was kind of hoping for a scene at the end of Leon giving John his first Pokemon a Charmander like he gives you in the games, that would've been pretty sweet!

Awesome Pokemon Series, along with Pokemon: The Origin and Pokemon Generations. Well done to Studio Colorido. I hope we get more series like this in the future

John: I can't wait to grow up and beat Leon to become the champion!
The protagonists: yeah about that...

Just like Pokemon Generations I really liked how this series focused on the different NPCs we meet in the games. Overall was a fun mini series.

This was absolutely fantastic. The sakuga at the end was jawdropping. Hope to get more iterations like this featuring other regions' characters. Also, it would be fantastic to get a continuation to John.

9/10.

It has been an amazing journey with these 7 episodes. The theories about Tommy and John are the top of an already excellent cake.

Holy shit. The animation was fantastic. Gigantamax Charizard looked incredible. The animation while Leon and Tommy were riding the Corviknight was outstanding as well.

Leon and Tommy's interactions were emotional. This was a great finale.

Yeah watching this series made me think this same thing. They could have made the games feature a fun place to explore like the Galar depicted in this series. I am hopeful for the new games coming this year though!
