I ain't watched Pokemon in years, this really brings back fond memories of it. Really captures the show well too I think. Kinda confused about some aspects, mega-stones and such, but everything else I do recognize is pretty well spot-on.
Reviews for "Pokemon Contest Rivals"
Man I wish this is canon.
Haha, course the contest would end with them flying off again! Well, almost. Nicely animated and voiced, though the laughs feel a bit abrupt, more like quick chuckles than jubilous bursts of joy... longer laughs maybe? Keep it going!
-cd-
Some of the voices were much louder than the others. Actually, the voices were most of what I heard; the music was almost not even there. They were good, I just think some were too loud. I kinda felt it was a bit jarring, too.
At about 3:33 when the chick goes flying, reusing the voice clip was rather unappealing because of the Doppler effect. I generally overlook reuse of audio/visual clips because it makes animation easier (it was quite rampant, but most animation does it anyway), but that was the only actual issue in my opinion. It is much easier to trick the eyes than it is the ears.
It was also kinda wierd when there was nothing on the stage when the mine blew.
Wow!! The voices are so spot-on! Keep at it guys!
