User LoveyLove (Score: 6/10):
You only need to see the episode 5 that is what we wanted to see in the world of pokemon.I only did this review because I loved the episode 5. The others episodes are a pain to watch. The episodes are different of commum anime as a cartoon, drawings and a very small film, but I don't liked it. I didn't feel conected at the pokemon world in the others episodes, but in the episode 5 is as a spin of that we readed in the pokemon games that the pokemons can be a family. The episodes are short so I gave a to watchthen all.
