Pokémon is one of the most popular and successful entertainment franchises in the world, encompassing video games, the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), mobile games and apps, animation and movies, Play! Pokémon competitive events, and licensed products. It was first established in Japan in 1996 with the launch of the Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green video games for the Game Boy™ system. The video games were released internationally in 1998 as Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. More than 20 years later, Pokémon continues to be a global entertainment mainstay and pop culture icon.
Considering this adapts one of my favourite episodes of the Orange Island arc… it was a bit of a miss.
None of the emotional beats of these stories seem to land and the added connections to make the three episodes flow didn’t really offer any breathing room for some readers.
However it was nice to see some frames from one of my favourite episodes.
Tracey gets a Scyther, who dislikes Charizard. They fight lots. Ash fights with Charizard a lot. I wish he would stop choosing him. No badges, no real progress.
