You only need to see the episode 5 that is what we wanted to see in the world of pokemon.I only did this review because I loved the episode 5.
The others episodes are a pain to watch. The episodes are different of commum anime as a cartoon, drawings and a very small film, but I don't liked it.
I didn't feel conected at the pokemon world in the others episodes, but in the episode 5 is as a spin of that we readed in the pokemon games that the pokemons can be a family.
The episodes are short so I gave a to watch ... then all.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (1/8 eps)

After finding this on MAL, I was curious and after some searching on YouTube, found it and sat down with some Popcorn to watch it.

It's cute and has that Disney animation quality like "Steamboat Willy" so that was enjoyable for me. And because I grew up with Disney shorts and Pokemon, seeing the two together just made me smile.

Story -- 5/10

The story...there really wasn't one. It opened with Zuruggu (Scraggy) eating beans, and then went from there. There was zero plot at all, just a bunch of cause-and-effect scenes happening pretty much all at once. The main title is literally just two Pokemon names and ... then you see the minor title "Chase The Beans". Nothing. To it.

Art -- 6/10

The art style as said before is reminiscent of Disney, and I found it really nice to see. Bright yet subdued colors really caught my eye and the coloring of the backgrounds were nice and soft.

Sound -- 5/10

As much as I wanted to rate this higher, I just couldn't. The music just reminded me of Tom & Jerry more than Disney, and it does nothing but indicate changes in actions or events, doing nothing to really drive the story (if there was one).

Characters -- 4/10

These are two Pokemon that have nothing in common, just the fact that they both wear a sort of clothing - Scraggy its skin, and Mimikkyu it's cloak/sheet, whatever you call it. It's interesting that they used two Pokemon from different generations, Scraggy being from Gen V, and Mimikkyu being from Gen VII. I'm giving this a 'decent' score because I didn't hate it.

Enjoyment -- 7/10

I enjoyed this a fair amount, not too much, and I didn't hate it. It was just lacking? I guess in the elements they were attempting to pull from Disney.

Overall -- 5/10

I wish I could have given this a 6 or 7, but due to the thoughts before, it's not that way. In any case, I'd definitely show this to all my friends and my younger siblings. Nice job to the creators.

Preliminary (1/8 eps)

Want a Disney Pokemon? There you go.. Nothing more to it, very bland, and overall really nothing to it. It's kinda it's so bad it's funny, which I think was intended for the older audience, but then again Japan doesn't Disney as much as America, so it's only natural they would try to do something reminiscent.


It runs on the classic 24 frames, while anime is usually on 6-12, so it's interesting to say the least, it also keeps the old Disney feel which was a bit nostalgic, but not enough to say I enjoyed it. Honestly I don't think I really got the ... story, which is why I rate it in total a 5.

The art is pretty nice, it does get weird though when some is painted like tree's, and then the train has outlines.. It definitely felt weird looking at it, but overall a 7

The sound was basically every Disney show ever, wish it had a bit more Pokemon to it, overall a 6

Characters were used well, plus using Pokemon that aren't brought up that much together, yet work so well with the clothing aspect.. Overall 7

I didn't enjoy it at all, was really boring, and it's weird that the credits took half the time it was actually running.. Jokes were overused and felt like I was brought to the 1980s'.

Overall 4
