Fine, but no iconic theme song

Overall, it’s fine. Really disappointing that the iconic Pokemon theme song isn’t included.

What parents are saying
AI summary of customer 33 reviewsCustomers overwhelmingly praise the Tonies for captivating storytelling with clear, expressive narration that holds children's attention across ages one through nine. Many report kids listen repeatedly, talk along with stories, and become fully immersed in the adventure. Reviewers consistently commend the high-quality audio, energetic delivery, and character design likeness. The product frequently replaces screen time entirely. Most families, including non-fans, quickly become enthusiastic listeners. A few mention wishing for additional content variety, but these minor notes are vastly outweighed by strong satisfaction and widespread intent to purchase the entire collection.

OK but not great
byTo be honest i expected more than1 story. Not sure my little one is interested in the beginning narration either where it talks to you the Pokémon trainer. I think if you want the child to want more Pokemon Tonies the content needs to be there and it just isn't.

Super Tonie
byThe quality of the Tonie and likeness to the character in both the visual looks and the way it talks on the story is great. He is so excited to go to bed and listen to the story of pokemon. It is fasted paced but this increases the excitement of the Tonie.

Charmander Review-Amazing!!
byI bought this a couple of weeks ago and even though it’s aimed at 5+ years, my 1 year old loves it! As soon as he puts in on he is immersed with the introduction. The voice is also really engaging and narrates it really well

Nice story
byMy daughter loves this Tonie, the only real downside is that it doesn't have the Pokémon theme or the Poké rap. But the story and facts are interesting.

Charmander Tonie
byMy son loves this. He’s 7 so we were looking for new tonies to keep him engaged and still interested in his tonie box as some of his old ones he had out grown . He has listened to it several times now and loves it everytime. The story is entertaining and really holds his attention. Definitely would recommend for slightly older listeners. We have listened to our others as they are being saved for Christmas for him. X

Engaging story
byMy child has really enjoyed the Charmander tonie. She has listened to it so much, that she talks along with the story. We have also listened as a family with our 2 year old - he was engaged and listened to the whole story! Great to see them listening and engaging without screens.
