    Review JN117: VS Shirona! Iris's Road to Dragon Master!!

    You can thank Journey's composer, Yuki Hayashi (same guy who has also done the music for My Hero Academia) for that. I've thoroughly enjoyed a large number of his tracks in this series (such as Power Showdown, Pokémon World Championship!!, Mid-Air Battle!!!, & Enemy Encounter) and the different...

    Review JN117: VS Shirona! Iris's Road to Dragon Master!!

    One of the reasons Cynthia is my favorite Champion is because at the end of the day, she's a Trainer first - and she always carries that mentality with her in every game she appears in. That she did it again here, choosing to not acknowledge her status as a Champion or regional representative...

    No, they didn’t. But as I mentioned earlier, he and Brock put their hands on her shoulders as a way of comfort.

There were also blurred backgrounds for several of Excadrill's moves, recycled animations from Iris'...

    Review JN117: VS Shirona! Iris's Road to Dragon Master!!

    Agreed. I found it incredibly off-putting that he just...watched her, as well as Go. Compare that with when he at least put his arm on May's shoulder when she lost the Grand Festival. But then again, I shouldn't be too surprised given that the animation wasn't the best in this episode to begin...

    Review JN117: VS Shirona! Iris's Road to Dragon Master!!

    At first I was going to jokingly chide Iris for not developing a counter to Draco Meteor as the move proved her undoing last time. But then I realized she did - it's just, her modified strategy with Dragon Pulse didn't account for a Mega version of Draco Meteor. That Cynthia felt the need to...
