Is there a "guide to the Pokémon Anime"? (pawb.social)

Specifically - A list of episodes that actually matter, because there are over one thousand episodes in the Pokémon Anime, and most of those are a fat load of nothing. -- I've been wanting to watch the Anime (like, beyond the first two seasons I'm nostalgic for), but I don't wanna slog through 740 episodes of nothing for the 260-ish episodes where something (I.E.: A major character appearance, a gym battle, a new pokémon caught, etc) actually happens.

I did a google search and found an "Anime Filler List", but that one was concerned with marking episodes as 'manga canon', which is like... Isn't the Pokémon manga a completely separate thing? Plus, I intensely doubt all those episodes are actually relevant.

It's extremely ironic that the anime started to pick up when the games started to fall off.

No no, that sounds about right.

As a big fan of Digimon, the competitor that never was? The best seasons of the Anime happened when Bandai realised that Digimon as a games franchise was not a fetch that was going to happen and just let the writers do whatever. Whenever Digimon got a bit of attention on its game/toy related properties, the executives would come back to fuck with the stories and the anime would get worse.
