My Thoughts About Pokemon Journeys

 Pokemon Journeys is the latest Pokemon anime to give exclusively on Netflix. I haven't watched Pokemon in a long time to be honest. So when I saw that Netflix had a Pokemon show that wasn't so long like past seasons I decided to give it a chance. And I'm glad I did.

Pokemon Journeys is very different from past seasons. Ash is no longer traveling around to collect badges. Instead he is participating in the World Coronation Ceremony. Basically he is challenging trainers to Pokemon battles to increase his rank in order to challenge the worlds strongest Trainer. Personally I love the change up. Its cool that Ash is doing something different for once. 

Ash's new friend for this season is a guy names Go. His goal is to catch every kind of Pokemon. Let me just say this. He is one lucky dude. Through out the show almost every Pokemon Go catches is done without a Pokemon battle. I guess the rules of weakening a Pokemon before capturing it doesn't apply to him.

A new region means a new way of battling. It's called Gigantamax. Your Pokemon will temporarily turn huge and fight with super strong attacks. Some Pokemon may even change form.

So i'm really enjoying this season of Pokemon. Give this a chance and I guarantee you will love it too. And as always its on to the next...

What I'm Playin: Mobile Games Part 2: Pokemon Quest

Hey welcome to part 2 of my What I'm Playin Mobile Games Blog. Today I will be reviewing the mobile game Pokemon Quest.

Pokemon Quest is a game where you set your pokemon out into the wild to battle wave after wave of pokemon in real time. Then with the berries that enemy pokemon drop you cook food that will attract pokemon to your base. Once that is done all you need to do is tap on the wild pokemon and there you have it. You have successfully recruited pokemon to your team.

The gameplay is simple. When your pokemon are out there battling they move on their own but you get to decide when they attack and what move they use. Although i would have liked to be in control of the pokemon's movement its not a deal breaker.

The graphics are interesting. Both the pokemon and the environments have a minecraft look to it.

Pokemon Quest is a mobile game worth checking out. its a fun unique pokemon game that is free to play.Thats right. You can play through the entire game without the need of purchasing anything.

Stay tuned to part 3 of What I'm Playin to check out what im playin.

Pokemon The Movie I Choose You (SPOILERS)

A couple of days ago I was on youtube browsing through videos when i found  Pokemon The Movie I Choose You. I was originally looking for Pokemon 2000 (my favorite pokemon movie). But I said what the heck ill give this movie a chance.

This movie is a re-imagining of Ash's start as a pokemon trainer. The beginning of his adventure with a twist. The beginning of the movie stays true to the show with ash and pikachu fighting the hoard of spearow to ash giving away his butterfree to ash rescuing charmander from the rain. The twist here is that when Ash sees Ho-oh he receives the rainbow wing and learns about the rainbow hero. The rainbow hero will travel to the end of the rainbow to meet Ho-oh and have a battle.

This movie was just ok for me. I say this because there was no end of the world plot that pokemon movies usually have. This movie should have been more of a pokemon special episode. Not a movie.

And with that ill just say well on to the next...

Pokemon Upgrade Sun and Moon

As a person who hates change, I was pleasantly surprised about the change in animation style in the Pokemon series. I'm talking about the Pokemon Sun and Moon anime. Ash's appearance in perticular has changed alot. I would describe it like characters drawn in a Hayao Miyazaki film. And thats not a bad thing.

Ash's adventure has also changed. Instead of battling gym leaders to collect badges he is now doing trials scattered around the alola islands. Ash is even attending school. Who would've thought that day would come.

The last thing I want to point out is the new power that trainers have with their pokemon. With the power of the Z-Ring and Z-Crystals they can unleash a devastating attack during battle.

All of these changes in pokemon are a great upgrade in the anime and games. 

Well on to the next...
