Of those the Pokémon Evolutions episodes, my absolute favorite was The Show, which focused on Kimono Girls and the lore of Lugia. The second best of the series was The Wish which repeated the first half of Delta episode.

Something can be made for kids and still have mature themes.

@Abhay Kamath the fact that Green had fully evolved Pokémon, went in Cerulean cave and attempted to catch MewTwo made it more serious than anything Ash ever attempted to do.

My favorite had to be the show. I always wanted to see the Kimono girls put on their show the way they did in Evolutions. This really helped show the lore of Lugia in a way that's truly satisfying to watch, as well as them redesigning the Kimono girls to each look more like their Eeveelution of choice was another great addition to the episode to make each and every one of them stand out visually. The totodile in the crowd trying to help put out the fire got a nice chuckle out of me. I grew up playing pokemon crystal so this episode just really hit home that feeling I had when I first explored the Johto region when I was a kid.

[@shuizaffre]

A very small but definitely appreciated detail I love regarding Pokemon Origins and Evolutions is how the Pokemon don't actually speak their names. They actually make sounds and noises more like animals, like monsters. It gives it a real cool sense of realism to it in a way, instead of just these monsters speaking their names repeatedly in a cheesy way. I adore the more animalistic sounds.

There's a reason that the fans (especially the older fans) adore the web series like _Generations_ , _Origins_ , and even the recent _Poketoons_ . They feel SO mature without having to be like "edgy" or anything like that. Honestly that one episode of Poketoons with the young girl trainer and the Nidoran is one of my all time favorites and by the end of it, I literally was like "I want to see an entire series centered around HER and her journey".

I personally prefer the first half of Pokemon Evolutions instead of the latter half. The first episode with Leon and the third episode with Lysandre were my favorite one major criticism I personally had with Leon as a character is that he is the flawless always happy Gary Sue and it never felt like he earned that? Cynthia may be in a similar position but she has more to her character, having vested interests in mythology as well as having an aura of mystery and legacy which is the highlight to her charm whereas Leon always seemed to step in and take away action from Victor/Gloria. However, the Pokemon Evolutions short really expanded on the psyche of Leon, that he isn’t this happy smiley perfect champion but rather he has his own fears, his own anxieties and his own failures which bring him down. This short really helped humanize Leon instead of leaving him as the one dimensional character he is in the games. Episode 3 did something I hope more shorts will do in the future: clearing up the plot and changing our perception entirely on the character. Gen 6 did not clearly show Lysandre’s motivations, why he wanted this perfect world etc etc. I loved how this short showed the charismatic Lysander side by side by the cruel man we saw in xy trying to commit a mass genocide as well as helping us understand his incentive; ultimately it clarifies the plot of the games and essentially fixes the games where it needs fixing in an animated medium

Evolutions had a rough start, but the latter half was consistently pretty good (except the Barry episode, wow that was bad in multiple ways). The Kanto bias was absolutely still going strong though.

Episode 8 was great because unlike the normal series it shows that people of various backgrounds and training in Pokemon go about their day to day life. It shows that the anime could be so much more, with new friends being made along with seeing all the different types of Trainers. I think it takes from of of the Pokemon shorts in the Pokemon Kids short films, showing different Trainers working together. That is how it should be depicted, with each Trainer being unique, but at the same time we can all relate to them in some way, know them in some way.

This is what the actual anime should be. I find that I like watching the YT shows rather than the actual one

[@takami4911]

I just realized that they did all 8 regions in evolution

[@KraylebStudios]

Man this series looks so amazing to watch

[@saltator8565]

They need to hurry up and drop the AshChu garbage that has been going on for two decades now. It's about time to give us an actual Pokemon anime, and everyone knows it.

[@sonic-bb]

forreal. but i do like ash tho

[@shootingstarv.g6883]

@@sonic-bb its been two 20 years still they showing ash as child,at least show him like grown up aur young adult

[@sonic-bb]

@@shootingstarv.g6883 they really don't have to tho. It sucks. But they really don't have to

[@da45r]

its funny how you think it's not an anime because it doesn't go with the whole shounen or drama motif that streaming anime do, you sound ignorant.

[@minecraftexpertstudios7368]

Some of these I really wish had a full story instead of just one episode.

[@Soafia]

I think the Kalos, Unova and Kanto ones were by far the clear winners imo.

[@god4328]

The pokemon legends arceus series is a work of art too :)

[@Ruby-cy8cm]

My favorite was either The Plan or The Wish, the series was awesome! One day I wish to see Pokemon Adventures manga into an anime.

[@ScionicWave]

Why did this make me happy cry?

[@revearain7692]

I wish "the wish" could've been a movie best episode

[@HoodieHorizon]

I really loved the Eclipse. My second favorite (Second to the wish). It makes sense for the flashbacks since it's essentially Lillie hyping herself up toward the alter and furthers her resolve

[@mirahsan2]

Amazing mini series. Love it all but LOVED they finally gave BLUE the spotlight in the Mewtwo episode

[@krmiistudios2479]

Am I the only one who knows that these are leafs first ever appearance in Anime content.

[@averagehuman-gf3qc]

My favorite episodes were galar hoenn kanto and alolah

[@WizardSoon]

My Fav is still Gen 5. I sincerely hope Pokemon won't have the gen 5 remakes screwed up....

[@DaveVampireSlayer]

I really enjoyed this series :D

[@pixlyJolt]

Man, it's that outro that really did it for me

[@Miss_Eldritch]

I'm biased to Episode 6 since Zinnia is my favourite Trainer and Rayquaza is my favourite pokémon

[@yamata1143]

This shit.... make me tear up

[@Kitsu-vk3of]

If only I had somewhere to watch it. Where can I.

[@blazikenfanftw]

The wish was my favorite episode. The animation fit perfectly and was a great way to show what happened in the Delta episode

[@princesshannah7]

Okay you got me tearing up with that ending tho 😭
