Pikachu vs. the world
The newPokémon Generationsshorts are, well, exactly that, but they’re a nostalgic delight. Particularly this first episode, “The Adventure,” which has a cool transition from theRedandBlueopening on Game Boy into a battle into the animation proper.I had to rewind and watch that part a few times.
What follows is a sequence of standalone scenes inspired by the games. Again, if you’ve experienced these moments for yourself, seeing them reinterpreted in an animation like this is pretty darn cool.
Episode two follows Detective Looker while he’s on the hunt for Team Rocket and its mastermind Giovanni. While it doesn’t have the same energy and scope as episode one, the music is on point. And itdoeshave a Machamp and an Arcanine participating in a police breach operation.
