I had no idea what to expect from this show, but after watching the 4 episodes in one go I was really pleasantly surprised.
Firstly, the aesthetics were amazing. The sunny island was really brought to life with its colours and textures. It's a place you will desperately want to visit. I loved the fuzzy textures of some of the pokemon even if they perhaps felt a bit too toy-like at times. The animation overall was done really well.
What I also liked was that, while there were certainly some very cutesy and emotional scenes, it wasn't overdone and was interspersed with plenty of humour and everyday life. Some of the other series are so oversweet in that respect and I was worried I was going to get the same, but I was happy to see it was more balanced. It made me laugh and smile and shed a couple of tears. There were also some pearls of wisdom that I think a lot of people can benefit from.
I really hope we get more episodes in the future and I urge any pokemon fan to give it a go.
