This bite sized series is pretty enjoyable even if you haven't played the games, or if you want to watch for the nostalgia and some spicing up. The biggest complaint however I can make about this series - although to be honest it's probably purposeful; is that at times it can slightly feel that it's only for the eyes of those who have played the core series games that are gone over.
Story: 8/10
Character: 7/10
Sound: 7/10
The soundtrack is based off of the games and a bit remixed, however it doesn't particularly stand out a lot except for a few instants. Nonetheless it's nice and enjoyable and serves its purpose.

The animation isn't all too new as far as anime styles go, but nonetheless it is wonderful; as well as the voice casting! The fluidity of the style is nice and crisp, the color schemes are great eye candy and the lighting and angles are splendid. The action scenes tend to take on a slightly different style, but one that fits perfectly with the main and is fabulously explosive.
In general everything is done well - the presentation of the story and characters, the visuals and sound, etc. It can hit you in the feels in various ways - overall it's a great show and does have an exciting "feel good" essence, and that great Pokémon essence too. However some episodes are a tad dull, and mentioned feeling does lower the quality of how the content is presented. Despite this, like many others, I still kinda wish it wasn't over or at least each episode was a bit longer, or wilder yet, it was an actual full length show.

I recommend reading the reviews of others too, for more in-depth ratings and a wider scope of taste! (=
