What caught my attention was the fact that the characters are actually as cool as the Pokemon for once. For a long time, I haven't been entirely into the anime much less the game character designs. Also, the Pokemon battles actually look really epic for once. Nowadays, with Satoshi and his Pikachu it has been all going south for me. I'm really not impressed with his outfit (the one in the first episode is still going to be my favorite) and the fact that he's been looking even more young as the storyline progresses. If they ever decide to make this an actual anime, I'd loveto see it. I speak because Pokemon is epitome of my childhood.
