The latest episode of Pokémon: Twilight Wings is out on YouTube and it’s fantastic. If you haven’t watched it yet, I’ve included the short video down below so you can watch it now!
In “Buddy,” we follow Hop’s Wooloo as it goes on a bit of an adventure. Wooloo is watching Leon and Bea’s match with Hop but Hop just keeps going on and on about Leon’s Charizard. It’s a classic case of a character talking about how amazing person/thing B is with person/thing A not hearing the final part that’s supposed to not make the speaker sound like a total jerk. You know, Hop bothered me in the games (I just found him a little annoying) and this really made me more peeved at him. Wooloo is amazing and tries to meet what it thinks are Hop’s expectations. In return, Hop doesn’t clarify until the very end that he doesn’t want Wooloo to be like anything else.
While Hop won’t shut up about Charizard, Wooloo runs off and sees part of the world on its own. A Yamper chases it, poor Wooloo, some kids start crowding it, poor Wooloo, and then it spots a Charmander which makes it a little mad. I really felt for this poor Wooloo and I still don’t know if Hop is good enough to have such an amazing Pokémon on his team.
I am loving Twilight Wings and all they’re bringing fans. The art is impeccable and the stories are powerful. I cannot wait for the next one.
