This four episode special commonly known as Pokemon Origins is a quick summary of the original games Pokemon: Red, Blue and Green.
The story was very easy to understand, that is if one has played the original games or the GBA remakes FireRed and LeafGreen. The story follows Red on his quest to fill the pokedex for Professor Oak. Along the way he gains gym badges, encounters and beats Team Rocket and becomes Pokemon league champion. Simple premise except for the X and Y promotion at the end.
The art was well done nothing out of this world. There's not much to
...
say on the art style other than it looked good.
The sound was extremely nostalgic, as redone versions of the original music in the game, it was fantastic.
The characters were as their game counterparts thus, they were amazing. Green/Blue (depending on sub or dub) is the mirror image of his 8-bit counterpart equipped with a cocky and an overall jerk like attitude. (just like Gary in the more well-known anime) Red on the other hand is given a personality of his very own. Ambitious, upbeat and willing to put an end to Team Rockets's plans, Red is seen as an overall good character who is worth rooting for.
I found this special to be very enjoyable, although I did not particularly take pleasure in the X and Y promotional scene, I thought it was an epic action sequence, but it could have been just as awesome without the need for Charizard to mega evolve. I liked the sub of this special more than the dub, watch the dub if you want however, I do not recommend it.
Overall, I would give Pokemon Origins a 7/10.
