This mini-episode is fucking awesome. I don’t even know where to start, but here is a thread … pic.twitter.com/2RLGnryv2W
The Pokémon world is a utopia based on a high degree of mutual trust and cooperation between humans and Pokémon. Studio Colorido’s Pokétoon is based on this premise. The four parents realize that because of this community they can be confident in the safety of their child. pic.twitter.com/WextIpuczD

Shingo Yamashita @ Colorido is directing a short film about a crazy, carefree Pokémon trainer who dares to go on an adventure with a stupid, carefree Pokémon. That means perfection https://t.co/dpQ8rXSmBH pic.twitter.com/y1t509XhuU
