I'm surprised we got two episodes today. But I'm glad since both of them were good.
Episode 5 was somewhat expected since there was a short scene of Giovanni in the reveal trailer that we never saw in the second episode, so I figured we would see more of him in some way, logically in the Johto episodes. I'm also happy we got to see more of Looker. Maybe we will see him in one episode for every generation as he is chasing after various criminals in the world of Pokemon? I'm not really a huge fan of Silver as he is my second least favorite rival in the series, but somehow I felt like I could care more for him here compared to in the actual games. It is weird. Makes me wonder how I'll feel for the rivals I actually like from the games, if they are shown. The scene from the Goldenrod Radio Tower was pretty cool too. That was one of my favorite moments from G/S/C, so I'm glad to see it animated a little even if it was short. I noticed that they are still mainly showcasing Kanto Pokemon which (sadly) goes well with how they completely overshadow the Johto Pokemon in the Johto games. I also noticed that they hinted at the reason that Giovanni didn't return even after hearing the broadcast, but the actual reason was never said. Nicely done. Overall, another great episode.
Episode 6 was also expected since we saw the legendary beasts in the reveal trailer too. I loved the music in the beginning, the Burned Tower music is great. Eusine is a quite cool character too, one of the more memorable ones from Johto so I liked seeing him again. The way the legend was retold was well done, hearing about the events from the games is one thing, but seeing them is much so better. "Show, don't tell", is a great technique. I find it interesting how there was a little boy looking at the three legends with great enthusiasm, I wonder if this was Eusine as a kid? Doesn't seem likely since the burning of the tower took place 150 years before the games (and presumably, before the present events of this episode). But maybe Generations have a different perspective since they doesn't completely follow the events of the games in full. But it doesn't matter much in the end. I liked the episode either way, seeing legendary Pokemon animated is always great.
Looking forward to more episodes! I guess Hoenn will be next up, can't wait to see what events they will show us from those games.
