Pokemon Sun & Moon Will Contain Multiple Islands
It would seem as though the upcoming Pokemon Sun & Moon will be spread across many different lush tropical islands.
Nintendo saw the “7.5/10 too much water” and just thought
I’ll show you too much water
I think that Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon, and Digimon have had very similar evolutions in their art style. Nowadays, they have more rounded characters, bright and shiny colors, weird hairstyles/outfits, and a strong three-dimensional presence. They were how I first noticed the concept of “trends” in artistic periods, so I have a better understanding of art and music history than before. I think Yu-Gi-Oh! looks the best of the three, though.

That thing looks… Suspicious?

One of my favorite Pokemon storylines is the arc about Ash’s Larvitar. At the request of Professor Oak, Ash and his friends pick up an egg for delivery to Mount Silver. This egg hatches during the course of their journey, revealing a very shy Larvitar inside. Larvitar, however, is terrified of the world around it, and when approached by anyone other than Ash, it panics and uses Harden and its Screech attack.
Ash and his friends try to help Larvitar out of its “shell”, slowly introducing it to the good things in the world, such as the experience of lying down in a field of grass, and the friendly Pokemon and humans of the world. But it is only when they encounter a mysterious Unown that Larvitar is able to break out of its shell.
Unown sends our heroes into a mysterious dimension that is the physical embodiment of Larvitar’s psyche, filled with broken egg shards, black and white humans, and cavernous danger. Here, Ash and his friends learn that Larvitar’s mother was attacked by poachers, who stole the egg away. A witness to this fear and violence from inside the egg, Larvitar is traumatized and afraid of the world. Our heroes see this fear in the form of a twisted, thorny spire of crystal surrounding it.
Ash, being stubborn, and believing in the goodness of the world, refuses to give up! He attacks the crystal that Larvitar is trapped in, bashing it with his fists over and over again despite the pain, until it finally shatters. They are all returned to the real world where, newly bonded, Larvitar begins to trust others.
As someone with PTSD, these episodes were very important to me. They approach the fact that children experience trauma, and they deserve— and need— love and respect to heal. Ash and his friends never shame or scold Larvitar for how it reacts, even when its Screech attack is painful. They are patient and kind to Larvitar, and they don’t give up after just one try because they understand that these things take time and a lot of love. There are many good episodes of Pokemon, but these stand out above the rest.
