As a devoted Pokémon fan ever since my childhood, I was eager to consume every bit of media related to the series that I could find. That included watching this 10th anniversary special when it aired on Cartoon Network in the UK, where series mainstays and past faces unite to battle a masked stranger utilizing a machine which creates Pokémon without weaknesses. It is a somewhat interesting premise which promises a unique adventure to celebrate a milestone anniversary, yet I thought that the actual feature was unfortunately bad. It felt like a mash-up of recycled ideas from the franchises contained within a 45-minute runtime which somehowmanages to drag on. It all feels rather slapdash, right down to the tiresome feeling villain whose last moments on-screen undermine how nobody cares about the character. For a celebration of this franchise, it feels like a truly basic way to attempt a celebration.
