A new edition of Saturday’s Game Entertainment reviews is up, and we look at where it all began for Pokémon with the Anime’s first season. I apologize for delaying this upload as writing a review for an 82 episode season proved difficult to do. While Sword and Shield got released last week and I’ve been playing it, my thoughts of the original series came to me. Of course, that lead my thoughts to the anime’s first season and how it captivated us as kids. Through the last 20 years, the show did have its ups with the Orange Island Leagues and then its lows as seen from Best Wishes. However, the anime continues going on regardless if the quality dips or not. Like clockwork, when a new generation comes out it's always followed by the anime entering the same regions as the games. The first season has always been a mixed reaction by me once I watched this as an adult again. There are some shows that do get it right on the first time like from Stranger Things. While others stumble in season one before the show is written better the next time around. One thing the cartoon did right was doing the franchise justice by bringing the world of Pokémon to life. During the 90s, gaming in other medias was the worst quality a TV/film could muster. I already discussed how terrible the Captain N and Zelda cartoons were between the bad art style and crappy writing. Unfortunately, it didn’t stop there as Double Dragon and Mortal Kombat also got their own cartoons and movies. It was either the writers of these studios didn’t understand the product or just tried to make a quick buck off a license. The Pokémon anime was the first to break away from this terrible format that the American companies often got so wrong. It has been over 20 years since the anime came out and certainly it had to age by now. Did the first-season age badly to the point of no return or has it stood the test of time?

A new edition of Gaming Entertainment is up as we check out the first comic issue of Captain N. While DIC was too busy pushing the cartoon, at the same time Valiant Comic also produced their own as well. The thing I like about these comics as a format is the writers and artists can do things that's considered experimental. Some ideas would never work in the mainstream like a darker and mature Scooby Doo. Yes, a mature comic of Scooby Doo is real I kid you not. The comic series' from Valiant used Nintendo characters in a much darker tone compared to the cartoons. The reason I think they got away with this might have to do with it being a niche format when compared to TV and Movies. That is probably the reason Nintendo was more laid back for them to write the characters and their worlds in that style.
For the review, Captain N on paper sounds like a fantastic idea as I’m sure many of us would love for a proper show like this to happen. You all already know my thoughts on the cartoon produce by DIC but so far, I find the comics enjoyable. According to the story, its about the same with Kevin getting pulled from Earth to Video Land according to a prophecy. The difference is Simon Belmont and Mega Man weren’t added but would get replace by a better character. Samus would appear in this series, and you can’t think of a better replacement then the bounty herself. The story is split in two parts that of course act like separate plots. The first one has Kevin and Kid Icarus head to Mount Olympus to find out why a war has stared. The second theme is about the N-Team exploring Zebes and teaming up with Samus to stop Mother brain from finding a source of energy she uses for her fortress.
