About Pokémon

If you are hunting for a new action series, Pokémon (Pokemon) deserves a look (1997). The setup goes like this. The setup: Pokemon are peculiar creatures with a vast array of different abilities and appearances; many people, known as Pokemon trainers, capture and train them, often with the intent of battling others. Young Satoshi has not only dreamed of becoming a Pokemon trainer but also a "Pokemon Master," and on the arrival of his 10th birthday, he finally has a chance to make that dream a reality.

Also worth knowing: Unfortunately for him, all three Pokemon available to beginning trainers have already been claimed and only Pikachu, a rebellious Electric type Pokemon, remains. However, this chance encounter would mark the start of a lifelong friendship and an epic adventure! Setting off on a quest to become the very best, Satoshi and Pikachu travel across beautiful, sprawling regions with their allies Kasumi, a Water type trainer, and Takeshi, a Rock type trainer.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.
