I don’t usually enjoy compilations, but there’s this one on Youtube called “10 Years of Pokemon” that’s pretty gosh darned amazing. Any thoughts?

Meh.

To be honest, it’s just not easy to sustain the level of intensity that this video seems to be aiming at for as long as it tries to.  I sort of find myself thinking “I’m five minutes in, and there’s another three minutes of disconnected clips of big Pokémon attacks to go; am I really being given a reason to care about this?”  There were also a lot of points, particularly in the first half, where I found myself really questioning whether the extremely dramatic music was an appropriate fit for the clips being shown, several of which are much quieter in tone.  So… yeah.
