The show focuses in on a ten year old boy named Ash Ketchum, who makes it his goal to catch every pokemon in the world. Pokemon are groups of monsters that relate to everyday objects, animals, and fictitious creatures. There are pokemon that look like animals, plants

“I choose you Pikachu!”. A long time ago, I couldn't even imagine counting on Pikachu to help me be the best trainer in all of the Kanto region.

The two character’s I’ve decided to compare was Johnny Bravo and Brock from Pokémon. These two shows are completely different from each other. One show focuses on a young man who is looking to pick up attractive young women, while the other focuses on a group of friends exploring the world of Pokémon.

The use of vibrant yellow for Pikachu makes a huge contrast with the other sections of the art because the young man and the background have more of a dull color. The dull colors on the background and boy set a fairly depressing mood about the seriousness of the problem. This contrast helps to emphasize the focal point, Pikachu. The value assists to produce an illusion of depth utilizing the darker values to make the boy look

As a child, I always looked forward to Saturday morning cartoons. My family had the most basic cable package, which consisted of fewer than twenty channels. These did not include popular kid’s channels such as Nickelodeon or Disney Channel. One morning per week cartoons appeared on my TV screen, and I would wake up early, excited and engrossed in the plotlines.
