I enjoyed the series. I just wish they would have made it a more decent length.

I have to say, this is a Pokémon anime that I never get bored of watching.

I occasionally watch shows to observe the relationships between characters.

For instance, Red meets a girl named Reina at Lavender Town, and it turns out that she is a volunteer for the Pokémon House. Long story short, when the townspeople send off Red, Mr. Fuji (the Founder of the Pokémon House), tells Red to come see him if he runs into any trouble. Right after that, Reina says "And come back again, ok?". What does that tell me? She enjoys being around Red.

In the fourth episode, Reina appears in a couple scenes. In the first scene, she tells Mr. Fuji about the rumours that surround a Cerulean Cave. Despite the nature of the conversation, Reina is very calm. In her next (and final scene), she is alarmed that Red is heading to the same cave. She asks Mr. Fuji if Red is going to be all right. She doesn't ask about Red's Pokémon. Just Red. That's something that speaks volumes. However, Mr. Fuji is able to calm down the young volunteer enough for her to show us a little smile on her face.

Now, I find it is very realistic in terms of the visual quality. The ONLY moment I found to be cartoonish was when Red and Blue started their Pokémon Battle at Route 1. One second, they are standing so close to each other, they could knock each other out, and the next second, they slide 10-15 feet backwards in a single slide. Again, that's the ONLY cartoonish moment. The rest is fairly realistic.

If you played Red and Blue versions, this anime is going to be a nice break from the regular anime.

And, yes. Koffee- I mean, Koffing, makes an appearance. Thanks, regular anime! I can't think of Koffing without thinking about coffee!
