Pokemon surprised fans everywhere when they launched a Looney Tunes inspired short, and fans are obsessed with the debut of Poketoons. These shorts featured Scraggy and Mimikyu going on some zany adventures with an art style reminiscent of those classic cartoons. It was a strange experiment following in line with much of the experimentation from the rest of the franchise as the anime has seen several major shifts lately not only with the main series, but with shorter web series like this and Pokemon: Twilight Wings.

These shorts were an adorable watch for sure, and it was such a small surprise that fans are wondering if there are any more planned. Whether or not this was the first in a longer line of web shorts or a one time deal, fans are impressed all the same.

Just Look at that Style!
The old-timey Poketoons skit is really cool. I especially like how they nailed the aesthetic right down to the brush stroke smear style. Something Don Williams was famous for on Looney Tunes, so I’m told pic.twitter.com/ZYNRKI7Pwp

Who Knows Why? But Who Cares!
This is a really cool video going back to the golden western animation style but with Pokรฉmon donโt know why they did this but I donโt care itโs really good https://t.co/ZyjmA85gu3
