About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a long-running, family-friendly adventure with lots of battles, friendships, and creature collecting; Not for you if you need a tightly serialized story or fast plot progress like Naruto.

Pros: fun adventures; exciting battles; lovable creatures | Cons: repetitive formula; uneven later seasons; slow overall progress
