ROSEMARY HICKS
“Pokémon: Gathering the Gang-Ash's Johto Squad!” deserves 4 stars. This anime delights fans with the return of favorite characters and Pokémon from Johto. The nostalgia for the classic adventures of Ash and his team is perfectly balanced with new challenges and battles. The animation is vibrant and the story is fast-paced and engaging, making it enjoyable viewing for new viewers and longtime fans alike. However, some episodes may seem too predictable.

Jean Luc Pressoir
Pokémon is the best anime franchise where it's all started from the beginning when the series first aired on Kids' WB on September 8, 1998. Pokémon first started on Indigo League, then Adventures in the Orange Islands, The Johto Journeys, Johto League Champions, Master Quest, Advanced, Advanced Challenge, and Advanced Battle was last season ever aired on Kids' WB on July 8, 2006. Pokémon is one of my favorite childhood shows I watched when I was a child back then.
