Since, I spent the most time in any Pokemon game in FireRed, Kanto has a special place in my heart. So, I fucking loved this episode, especially loved that Green was the main focus. I really need to get Let's Go though.

This has really been a great short show overall, a trip down memory lane, while also expanding on some things. 8/10

Would be nice if they make a Pokemon Adventures anime adaptation though.

Really happy with how this episode and the entire series turned out. That scene with Mewtwo and its trainer with "you two should become my Pokemon," though. The meme potential is strong with that one, and it's always a treat to see a Mewtwo expression that isn't the usual serious poker face.

Great episode. Loved the style and it was interesting to see Mewtwo actually being used after being caught by the protag. It was a fitting end to this series.

The show was nice, it's great to see it turn out this way. These episodes sure bring back a lot of memories.

Mewtwo's reactions to Blue Green "joking" about the MC becoming her Pokémon is the best part of this episode.

Really wanted to love this one as Green seemed less bland and has shown lot of personalities than other leads in this series and at the end the episode ended up like a insane parody of the og that greatly surprised me like almost no other!
Overall this was another favorite of the evolution shorts as it left me as much as impression as the the first episode did. Most of the other episodes were mixbag for me but still were cool to watch for what it is and also liked they were all presented in different style approach.
Wished other franchises would opt to try these kind of shorts which are incredible to watch to relieve the nostalgia.

Same! FireRed was one of my first pkmn games and it has a lot of nostalgia to me as well.

Damn that was one hell of an episode! A fitting end indeed.

Suprised Mewtwo was the highlight of this episode lol.

Really liked the Red and Green cameo.

Anyways a solid 7/10

I suppose the Rapidash vs Ninetales battle would be too long to show whole, for obvious reason.

Pikachu with flowers was a great way to end.

Finally Leaf/Green/Blue (I wish they'd just stick to one name for her) got some screen time in which she deserves.

I always found her character so interesting! Such a good episode!

For this short special, the animation quality was phenomenal. I'd like to see more of this type of content, with longer length and more episodes.

Seeing Mewtwo with that expression was so refreshing to see. Usually we are always seeing it so serious in tone.

This episode really showed that the rest of the franchise needs to take a note from the old school Pokémon Special manga. The XYZ anime did include a bit of flair from it.

But loved the focus on the Gen 1 female trainer

Another great episode, very lively directing. The facial expressions of the characters were shown well. I have never played the Let's Go games so I have no idea about this trainers, nor do I know if this is an original story or adapts the story in the games. Anyway, animation was great throughout. Overall, the early episodes were horrible, ep 4 was when it started getting good and then it was mostly consistent.
In terms of order (episodes) - 6>4>8>7>5>2>1>3

Oh boy, the surprised Mewtwo face was hilarious. However, the most important thing was the fact that Green was completely radiating Best Girl energy. Even more than Serena. I should have played her avatar in Fire Red.

Also, a bunch of trainers ganging up on you on a bridge is completely relatable.

The strongest pokemon actually being caught be someone other than the protagonist... wish the games were brave enough to pull something like that lol.

Best episode to last, nostalgia hitting as well, episode 7 could have been just as good, if they had actually included some Lugia or Ho-ho scenes, not some fucking theater piece (which was still beautiful to look at), also liked to see Rayquaza on ep6, but every episode felt too short, like all the build up to them shot right when it gets to the best part, which is honestly a downer.

This episode didnt felt like that at least, but it was weird to see a Mewtwo being soo obdient, kinda anticlimatic that he had already been caught, still we already had a scene of that with Pokemon Origins, but gotta say that a Mega Blastoise couldnt defeat him, bullshit.
Was expecting to see Mega Mewtwo to counter Mega B. for real.

7.9/10 = 8

This is an over all short review of every ep put together as a whole, Just great art style all-around and good short story focus that are call backs to many of the video game characters we all started with.
