I'd like to think of myself as an Animation connoisseur, and this is definitely a work of art. I've loved the game ever since I was a kid, but that being aside the animation in this series is astounding. Let's be honest, the regular Pokémon show is a lot of things, but animation is not a strong point. The characters are static and choppy. And even in the intense scenes they don't quite give you the level of excitement it should deserve. But this show is different. The camera moves with the Pokémon in battle. The Pokémon have weight, they move around believably. They move, bend, stretch, you can see tension in their muscles. I found myself being really drawn in. You just got excited! It made Pokémon so much more real to me, which in any animation is a good thing. Seeing Charizard like that makes me fall in love with Pokémon all over again. Here's a spoiler: look forward to that last scene with Mewtwo. It's AMAZING!
I also loved the little changes they made, like giving Pokemon real animal sounding cries instead of just saying their name.
The only thing stopping me from putting a 10 on it was story. I loved the story, but it still felt like a regular Pokémon story sometimes. I loved how they kept it with the game though!
They gotta make more like this!
