Loyalty and practice. Also a long permission to leave home for a hobby. In doses, for a child who already has a house.
The review
Ash leaves. That is the inciting act, and the series never really reverses it. What it offers instead is a craft — training, losing, feeding, not abandoning a creature because it is weak — and a traveling company that functions as a thin substitute for a household. The contests are fair contests. The world is gentle about injury and serious about not betraying a partner.
A child can love it. Do not let 'I have to leave to become myself' be the only sentence they take. His mother is still a person. The better episodes are the ones where he stays with the creature he was tempted to replace.
Journal
Keep Pokémon the Series in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 50. Yours can differ.
The glance
Household and Piety and Republic are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
63 instead of 50
Star Wars: The Clone Wars is still a adventure show, and it scores 63 instead of 50. What you gain is republic: The republic is the subject: how it votes itself into an empire.
The eight
- 7Industry
Training is work. The gym is a test of whether he did it.
- 4Household
He leaves his mother in the first hour. Friends become the camp.
- 3Piety
Wonder, not worship. The creatures are partners, which is the good part.
- 6Courage
He walks toward the next loss on purpose.
- 4Republic
Towns are challenges, not places to owe.
- 5Temperance
Collection is the appetite. Care is the correction.
- 6Truth
A loss is a loss. The show usually admits it.
- 5Stewardship
What he hands on is a way of treating a weaker creature. The house he left is not in the picture.
