Pokémon fans can enjoy that, but even they are willing to admit that it isn't much to write home about, so there isn't much of a reason for people who aren't as into Pokémon to watch it. If they had taken advantage of the unique perspectives that the Pokémon world could offer, from the humans and the Pokémon, things might have gone better.
