Episode 65: Pokémon (1997-)

Today we’re reviewing two episodes of Pokémon, a dystopian anime series in which children enslave innocent creatures and force them to fight for their entertainment. In Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon, the protagonists stumble upon a paleontological dig where they awaken giant monsters that battle in a climactic showdown. In The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis, the gang stumbles upon an archaeological dig where... they awaken giant monsters that battle in a climactic showdown. Having never seen another episode, we have to assume they all end this way.
