| tgTJUUBEBS8 Amazing quality for a short. Some of the best animation this franchise has produced. |

| Looked very nice, and was pretty cool seeing some of the newer Pokemon in animated form, for the first time. Cheering for Freezai btw ;) |
| Some scenes undoubtedly look great, but the varying brightness is very distracting to me, and I don't think all of the transitions blend that well (some are very good though). Still pretty impressive for a one-minute promotional video. |

Good to know, though for a promotional video, I don't really get it (I don't think there will be any touchups later, and I don't recall noticing this for any of their other commercials). If this consistency meant sacrificing a bit of the animation in these scenes to meet the budget/deadline, I would honestly have preferred that.Kwanthemaster said: Some scenes undoubtedly look great, but the varying brightness is very distracting to me, and I don't think all of the transitions blend that well (some are very good though).

Kwanthemaster said: Alot of animation studios do this on purpose because japan passed regulation that basically is aimed at preventing people from having epileptic seizures while watching TV. Thats why random action scenes will be purposefully dimmed. Im not sure this applies to home media releases but it for sure applies on live TV._cjessop19_ said: Ah, that's what they do?

| ^Hmm, makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. I've read the comments above before watching the short so I really noticed those transitions (esp. at 0:29, 0:34 and 0:44). I wish I watched it first so I didn't have to pay close attention to those. Haha. Anyways, I hope there's an easier way to 'Add character' than having to go to each character's page and edit. Well, something similar to 'Add staff' perhaps (https://myanimelist.net/dbchanges.php?aid=56064&t=staff)? I always have to rewatch and make a list of character appearances then edit character pages. It's really a pain for Pokémon characters or any franchise with many characters. LOL. Then I have to add characters to each episode. Rinse and repeat. 🤦 I do that to other anime even though I ain't necessarily a fan. Haha. 😑 |
| Yeah, the dimming isn't getting removed anytime. Looks gorgeous from start to finish. |
| Thanks to this anime, I learned that black people play Pokemon too! Although, I understand that due to cultural sensitivities, they aren't black in Japan; they're just exceptionally tanned. Still, what an accomplishment for diversity! :) |
