Pokemon based on the video game of the same name, this anime from the ’90s had a catchy theme song, lovable characters, wily villains, and adorable monsters tagging along. It had a light-hearted, innocent, and child-like wonder about how it saw its world, providing a nice reprieve from some of the darker cartoons at the time. While it’s not exactly an intelligent or thought-provoking show, it had its own charm, and for kids just wanting to see Pokemon fight, that was enough.
