Parents need to know
Families can talk about the values of the program, discussing the importance of loyalty to friends, learning from mistakes and lost "battles," and living up to your responsibilities. They can also talk about the difference between owning pets and training Pokemon. Is it OK for the characters to encourage other creatures to fight, even if the outcome is never lethal? As always, what's OK in a cartoon is more than iffy in real life.
Message
Social Behavior:
Characters value loyalty, honesty, and valor -- but send their pets out to do battle on their behalf.
Consumerism:
Pokemon is a product, there's no getting around it.
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
Violence
Pokemon trainers train their pets to battle one another, and athough the outcome is never lethal, the creatures do strike each other directly and sometimes with weapons.

Is it any good?
Pokemon Chronicles is more story-oriented than the original Pokemon and less focused on the "gotta catch 'em all" theme that pervaded the first program. There's certainly some cartoon violence, and watching such cute creatures attack one another may be momentarily confusing for young children, but overall even the most explosive scenes are fairly mild when compared to other programs in the genre.
