    Love it!

    Pokemon is more or less the same with Ash doing the same thing over and over again, getting 8 gym badges and losing the pokemon league just to do the same thing in every new region. I can't complain too much because really Pokemon is just to show what your favorite pokemon does in the wild. But this show is something I really like, it shows what the more memorable characters like Misty who left after Johto, Richie and a few new faces. I guess maybe it was that it was the same Pokemon formula just in a different setting and maybe if was just that fact that it was what the pokemon anime could have been for that stuck with me but I really do recommend this to any fan of the pokemon anime.

    Awesome spinoff

    This series is great and underrated, I love everything about it! No Ash, interesting ideas, the show is also hilarious with the bumbling Cassidy and Butch. Casey, Tracey, Misty, Ritchie, Sakura, even the terrible trio of Jessie, James, and Meowth? They're all in it!

    Pokemon Chronicles is a must watch for all ages! Kids can relate to Ritchie and how he strives to be the best trainer like Ash, and adults and teens can relate to the troubles of Misty being a gym leader.
