The episode is out, we got some Bea adventure after losing in the battle and gotta admit she's really precious.

This episode made me appreciate Bea even more than before. It's good to see more of her personality than in the games.

This little short is awesome so far, if only the main series were this mature

The First one, was good and entertaining...

But compared to this one.. the first one became trash...

I LOVED this episode... Definitely Bea (Saito) is the Best...

Loved the Machop/ke/champ trio... and their unique expressions.

Funny how I’ve been a Pokémon fan for over 20 years and never noticed how adorable Machop is until just today.

Literally, every scene is jaw-droppingly awesome to look at.

This made me appreciate Bea so much more, she's so awesome. I love that she herself figured out she was being narrow-minded and not worrying about the pokemon's feelings towards her being stubborn. This sort of thing doesn't happen in a lot of anime or media in general.

Bea single-handedly made me reconsider working out again.

I used to hate Machop because of that Vermillion trainer, he would beat my ass with low kick

Really loving this series so far. I like that it focuses on the gym leaders, they were honestly one of the best parts of the whole game. Now gimme an episode focusing on my precious son Allister.

Bea is so cute. I played shield so didn't get to see her in game. They did a great job showing her personality.

I love these short episodes. Although I'm not a big Pokemon fan, these episodes are just so heartwarming.

Great episode. I was hoping we'd get to see more of Bea in this since she was in the first episode but definitely didn't expect her to be the main focus so this was a very pleasant surprise. They nailed her personality perfectly and the visuals were simply amazing.

Awesome episode. Series like this proves that Pokémon without Ash is better. Too bad that we only get short stories and not full length episodes like these.

Saitou is great. The way she trains with her pokémon reminded me a bit of Satoshi, but it was more intense and reckless. I guess this is how cool a fighting-type trainer can be. In just these few minutes I could feel her conviction and the bond she shares with her pokémon. It was amazing, just like the view inside of that cave. Can't wait for the next one!

How is this better in six minutes than the entire current season so far? Ironic, considering this focuses on stuff from the new games, which suck, while the new season doesn't fully do so.

Great to see more of Bea and another great episode, after this I hope we get some others focused on Sw/Sh characters like Nessa, Leon & Raihan.

I encourage you to write a review. I think this Pokemon series comes to a big surprise to people who aren't big fans of Pokemon. I know it came as a surprise to me.

I feel that a 7.44 for the current 3 episodes really is too low, I must be missing something, but I presume it's bias against the Pokemon brand. Either that, or I'm simply more of a fan than I I'd realize.

I might have actually been slightly too harsh by giving it an overall 8 even. I personally think it should be hovering between an 8.1 and 8.7.

Holy this chick is insane. She was doing push up with that much weight on her back and she was even sparring with Machamp to boot. Now that's nuts XD but looks like she learnt not to get too emotional.

I like how the Machop Machoke Machamp trio came together in the end to help Bea. Also seeing the letter on the chairman's desk makes me think that this won't just be all standalone stories.

Machop is so adorable! And of course Bea is too.

That was a good episode with focus on Bea and her Machop, Machoke and Machamp. I am glad we got an entire episode for Bea.

Aww, Bea. She's an amazing character already, I love this insight into her. I hope she can learn her lessons

Loving this so far; such an amazing look into Galar
