Plot
The series features whimsical adventures as Flo (Kate in the English dub) and her puppy who names him Magic must help the other animals of Pocketville find their way to children in the real world (usually the Big City). They also do their best to bring Princess Ava (Ami), who was teleported to the real world by her evil twin sister, Eva (Ima), back to Pocketville.

Why It Doesn't Help Canines

 * 1) A boring and terrible English dub makes it seem like the voice actors didn't want to participate.
 * 2) The lip-syncing is terrible and mostly never matches. While it might be that this show was from a different country, Mondo TV's Tentacolino has perfect lip-syncing, which doesn't justify anything.
 * 3) Lazy plot that rips off shows like Polly Pocket or Littlest Pet Shop. Heck, the episodic formula is basically Pound Puppies, but without any of the charm that made it special to begin with!
 * 4) Awful Flash animation, and it doesn't help that it's made by the same studio behind some of the worst animation ever.
 * 5) The show suffers from truly abysmal writing despite trying to have continuity.
 * 6) The characters are bland, boring, and forgettable, including the main protagonist Kate, who is a Mary Sue.
 * 7) Much like Beast Machines: Transformers, later episodes near the end of Puppy in My Pocket: Adventures in Pocketville realize heavy too much on multi-parters, in fact, of the 52 episodes, only 8 of them are single episodes, while the rest of the 42 episodes are two-parters.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Unlike most Mondo TV shows, Puppy in My Pocket: Adventures in Pocketville has some continuity and has potential to create some decent world-building.
 * 2) There are some likable characters.
 * 3) Despite the animation being awful most of the time, the background designs and even the character designs look pretty good.
 * 4) The theme song is actually pretty good, especially that it's more than a minute long.
 * 5) Its two-part series finale "Together Forever", is very heart warming and a good conclusion.

Reception
Puppy in My Pocket has received a mixed-to-negative reception from the public and it holds a 4.1/10 on IMDb.
