Pokémon is an anime of impeccable quality, through and through - something that has been lost in this decade of decadence. Indeed, what have the younger generation, our successors, to base their childhood memories upon but cheap imitations of the splendours of a fallen age (the late 90's and early 2000's). Perhaps it's the nostalgia speaking? Of course
his childhood was the best. I believe, however, that beyond the blissful delusion of a euphoric youthhood lies ultimately some definite factor of veritude: as tangible as a Tangela. Let's analyze one factor that made
Poketto Monsuta a pinnacle of imported anime.
Any fan of 8-bit video game music is captivated by an orchestral rendition of his or her music; we, as Pokémon fans, are no exception. Fortunately for our musical palettes, Shinji Miyazaki delivers an exceptional compilation of Pokétunes, implementing full orchestral sections and ample amounts of electrical riffs where called for (think
the Battle Theme).
Pokemon Episode 36, the Bridge Bike Gang is an exemplary of Miyazaki's phenomenal score, featuring tracks such as: 'Setting Off' (the endearing
Route 1 Theme) 'Go with the Bicycle' (a rendition of the GB
Bicycle Theme); 'Silly Psyduck' (from the GB theme
Following a Trainer to the Gym); and 'Total War' (from the GB OST
Hall of Fame theme); as well as the standard Pokemon tracks you might expect to hear in any given episode (i.e. 'Pokemon Battle!' and 'Burning Battle Field' - both fantastic renditions of the GB
Battle theme.
Episode 36 also divulges some of the vague history of our antagonists. As it turns out, 'Big Jesse' and 'Little Jim,' were members of the infamous Bridge Bike Gang, before they became Rocket grunts, and the reunion is one of long separated friends, reminiscing fondly on their youthful delinquency. Things have change, of course - for one thing, Team Rocket has done away with handle bars.
'Real gangs ride unicycles' - JamesAs the plot climaxes, our heroes agree to take a bag of Pokémon medicine across the bridge. Through goodwill and an abiding love and dedication to Pokémon, they succeed in winning over the support of the rough bikers. The triumphal tune: '
Absolute War' plays, as the Bridge Bike Gang escorts Ash and company to the Pokémon Center to deliver the medicine to the sick Shellder.
And so we close upon a heartwarming scene, having glanced into the past of Team Rocket. As Little Jim puts it: '
Well I guess our secret past isn't secret anymore.' To which Ash remarks, '
I kinda wish it still was
a secret.'
Having visited yet another of the memorable
Game Boy locals (Cycling Road), we eagerly anticipate the next twist of the indispensible Pokémon anime. Stay tuned, as we at Pocket Monster Pals! strive to bring you the most lighthearted and affectionate reviews of this Pokémon adventure.
and boy did it blow the minds of millions. With meticulous animations for all 151 Poke'mon, free-for-all style mini games and the ability to bring the game itself to the big screen through the infamous GameBoy Tower, this title delivered on all fronts. 
But Poke'mon hasn't always been the success in the 3D realm that it is today, Poke'mon snap developed by Hal Laboratory wasn't exactly a block-buster in the video game world. But it did bring a very unique perspective that many youngsters were more than excited to experience, and with the added feature to print your pictures at a local blockbuster, Poke'mon Snap was a fine Title that brought the world to life. 
What promise the idea held was destroyed by a lazy and incompetent development team that despite proven horribleness, is still GameFreaks right hand developer in spin off poke'mon games such as, Poke'mon Channel, My Poke'mon Ranch and the recently shat out Poke'mon Rumble.
