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?
