Was this show made to sell parking lots?
Impressions:
I think this is where I call it. Well, we’ll see what Needy Girl and Kanan pull, but this is simply boring me to death, and picking a fight with literally some randos in a parking lot is not the way out of the hole. Especially not with their own cutesy pokemon, which is just making the bloodshed of the first episode continue to stand out even worse. But even that takes twelve damn minutes to reach it, and only lasts for about three minutes, half of which is spent, once again, explaining powers and current events, which is also how it ends. Also, I feel like it needs to be pointed out that his big plan of knocking out the lights? This dude was aghast at the existence of TRADITIONAL JAPANESE TATAMI, and baffled by the concent of hunting permits, something that didn’t exist in medieval times APPARENTLY, but also understands that fluorescent lights are not magical glow rocks. Sure. Okay. Not nearly the most important thing, but why is the anachronic dude using his understanding of electricity here as his secret weapon?
What do we get instead? Screaming about the furniture. Meetings. Screaming about other people’s pokemon not being fancy enough. Screaming about flying after being asked to fly. Explanations that modern pokemon understand technology. Which is in tune with the actual fight, where the dude opens the conversation with explaining his power, purpose, who he’s encountering, blah blah blah. And then there’s the exciting fight, where they simply facetank bullets and swords before jobbing to other pokemon, because I guess only pokemon can fight pokemon, which these professional pokemon fighters weren’t aware of. God, it’s all so stupid.
