Otherwise it's a light hearted show but just be careful of these 2 and especially the 21st episode. I will note that it's symbiotic when it depicted being with Litten when Stoutland dies, as the Pokemon dies in the hospital and not next to Litten, but the fact is that the episodes deal with the heavy topic of death and it will definitely make small children and even grown up fans cry (I know I cried watching it and I'm 30). It only snaps out of its deppression and grief when it accepts Ash as its friend and see's the outline of its dead friend in the clouds. Litten then becomes over come with grief and refuses to eat and leave it's couch where it used to live with Stoutland. You then see in a later scene where the hospital bed is empty and the Litten is snuggled against the old Stoutland who then fades away with the Litten crying in grief as it's friend is now gone. They hook the poor creature up to life support. In episode 21 the dog Pokemon called Stoutland is sickly and it's worried cat Pokemon friend Litten seeks help from Ash who rushes the elderly and sickly Stoutland to the Pokemon center which is the Pokemon version of the veterinarian. There is a 2 part episode (ep 20-21 to be exact with 21 being the culprit) that deals with the on screen death of an elderly dog Pokemon and it's greiving cat Pokemon friend.

This show is phenomenal despite changing the art style.
