Things to consider before watching with your kids
the more magnifical anime of my childhood
Is It Any Good?
Clear simple games, seasons' worth of Pokemon shows and tons of information on the hundreds of Pokemon characters create a one-stop shop for all things Pokemon. If kids can tune out the sales pitch and get through the marketing hubbub, they may actually learn from the organization and negotiation skills that Pokemon play requires. Even better, they can get info on in-person events to meet more Pokemon fans in their area.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about the amazing marketing machine Pokemon creators have built. How much money and time do you consider worthwhile to spend on Pokemon cards, video games, movies, and toys? Do you think you can still have fun with Pokemon without buying everything targeted at you? Read Kids' Social Sites and the Buying Bug.
Families can talk about getting involved locally with other kids at local Pokemon events.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
