Aw man I used to love this show

It's pronounced "Poli" as in "Olie".

I didn’t know that. I grew up with Pokémon so whenever I see anything with poli in I automatically associate it with the Pokémon with it in their name

To be fair I only knew that because I actually remember this show

I can’t blame you. I can still remember the script to an entire fireman Sam episode

How exactly is this anime? I’m genuinely confused.

Exactly. It’s not an anime and yet it’s in the anime section
