I remember seeing bits and pieces of this show back in the late 1990s when I was still watching Saturday morning TV. When I first saw it, I thought to myself, "Big deal. It's a Pokemon ripoff." But then I sat down to watch it at one point and it captivated me. No more endless competition a la Pokemon. Just one big story. Not only that, I liked the more detailed creature designs of the show and the human characters were a lot more relatable to us humans in real life. One of the human characters from the first season even looks and acts like me when I was his age! For those bored by Pokemon and want an engaging story that isn't defined by endless duels and characters that seem two-dimensional and not-so-creative elements, this might be the perfect remedy. It might get a little intense at parts but it's pretty good.
