Surely this is a treat for the biggest DRRR fans, but to me this was nothing that added to the show. The first parts were funny untill he started impersonating other characters. Truly ending it on a low point. There's no added value in watching this other than increasing the number on your MAL profile and being completionist.

The animation has seen some improvement, and this time you get the intro remastered and without recap, that's because the main show had already ended and there is not anything to recap.

The idea of a fat shizuo is funny though, I also like how izaya tries to pin ... what fat shizuo does on actual shizuo, very appropriate.

Over all, a solid 5, considering I rated the main show around a 6.
Animation good, plot bad, drrr good, fat shizuo bad.

Pokemon Best Wishes! Season 2 was an interesting ordeal, it focusses on the time after ash has collected 8 of the gymbadges needed to play in the Unova league.

Story:
Well story wise this part of the show is not much different from the indigo league, Ash participates and does not win once again, after the unova league is over the story shifts to meloetta and was not memorable enough for me to write more about it. Therefore I rate it a 6 for being ok, sticking closely to the pokemon formula but still dabble with some kind of plot arrangement.

Art:
The art of pokemon in black and ... white overall has been better than ever! The move animations stick closely to the game counterparts, even improving upon them! The pokemon look sharp and nicely animated as ever, Ash's design is ok, not worse than before but I feel like while he is 10, he looks a lot older in this season. Honnestly would not mind a remake of the original few seasons in this quality... Speaking of which! They show some scenes from the original show, flashbacks, or reminders, which almost seem re-mastered or just made again!

Sound:
I've got nothing special to say here, the soundtracks are great, if you have been watching pokemon like me, I usually put it on in the background while i'm doing housework or alike, the soundtrack for me has started to fade into the background in general.

Character:
Oh boy here we go...
I did not particularly like Iris and Cilan to begin with but it just gets worse with this... Yes in at this point in the series you do get to know Iris a little better, like where she's from and what her "goal" is. Cilan however is just incredibly frustrating, he replaced arguably the best character pokemon had seen, and does so in a smart ass kind of way. I think I'd like the show more if they just left him out as a main character in general, ash's main character-ness has been reduced enough already.
And have you noticed how both Iris and Cilan repeat things so many times??? Its more annoying than team rocket ever could have been, and to be honest, team rocket is actually full of character this season cause they are moving up the corporate ladder.

Enjoyment:
Even though I rated the show a 6, this is purely because of the art improvement. the lack of consistency of the main characters really took a toll on me, hopefully the new mc's in X and Y aren't as bland.

I guess I'm writing one of if not my first review(s) right here.

I do spoil the entire story below, but there's not much to it anyway.

This has got to be the best looking worst Pikachu short of all (so far). Comparing this Pikachu short to the others really puts in perspective how far Pokémon had come in terms of animation.

Unfortunately there's not much to this Pikachu short other than that you get to see a few mythical Pokémon. If you are a huge fan of the Entei Pokémon movie you'll be delighted to know that we make a return to the unknown dimension, this time ... it looking a lot more fun that portrayed earlier. However, the story is not very interesting, they help get back a lost unknown, for some reason they meet Mesprit Azelf and Uxie and Deoxis before playing around in the unknown dimension and then promptly return to play with their fellow Pokémon .
As usual they are being followed by Meowth, this episode it being 3 whole times that Marill sang and put them to sleep. I gotta admit, it got old after the 2nd this generation of Pikachu shorts.
They get plus points for featuring all Pokémon from ash and friends towards the end of the anime.

I highly recommend watching this in Japanse, Its great fun and they use very easy language in case you are wanting to start learning Japanse or have started recently. The Pikachu shorts are made for a young audience after all.
