Pokemon The Abridged Series (Also known as PTAS) is the title of MasterWGS's abridged series based on the Pokemon anime. Like many abridged series, PTAS takes the personalities of each character to their extremes and conveys the original plot, showing the ridiculous oversight of many characters within each episode. Unlike the Pokemon games and show, most of the Pokemon in this abridged series can speak English, although the trainers still don't understand them.
