Just like in the game, the boy goes on a quest to compete in the Kanto League and become the region’s champion. If you didn’t know Ash is based off the character Red from the game and is nothing like his manga counterpart.

Ash is your typical male protagonist you would usually see in most Nintendo stories. Of course, they will run into Team Rocket of Jesse and James who try desperately to steal Pikachu and hatch their newest schemes. Along the way he meets others like himself named Misty and Brock who join him for different reasons. His goal is to become a master trainer by catching many Pokémon and winning eight gym badges to enter the championship league. The anime follows a ten year old kid named Ash Ketchum who goes on a journey through the Kanto Region to become a Pokémon Trainer. 4kids during that time is often known for their Kirby and Yu Gi Oh anime dub translations and unfortunately this series was one of them. In actuality, the cartoon originally released in 1997 in Japan before 4Kids picked up and translated the show into English. It wasn’t long before merchandise in all forms flooded the market and the anime came out. In May 1998, Pokémon Red and Blue got released on both continents and was a smash success. After the successful launch of Pocket Monsters in Japan in 1996, Nintendo was more than ready to bring this over to the North America and Europe.

As Pokémon continues to stay strong in on our minds thanks to Sword and Shield let’s go back to a time when the series started. Welcome to Saturday’s Gaming Entertainment Reviews and we check out the first season of the anime.
