The Lemmy community for all things Pokémon!
Rules:
I remember seeing this list that reddit user u/MarcoR_ made a while back: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K5DCKrbU4V345UMJwI89IHHTn7g-o9hEF3QsmOEKcxY/htmlview
Not sure how up to date it is but it looks like it has the latest series too. I haven’t used it myself, but a friend of mine used it to blow through the Indigo League so maybe it will help you
Oh that's pretty much what I wanted.
Plus, the up-to-dateness doesn't really matter to me, I just want to finish Ash's journey(s) for nostalgia's sake, now that I know that he finally actually won a pokémon league tournament some years back.
A lot of the anime is pretty bad, and I say that as a diehard fan. But starting with XY they really put it in gear and started making a real anime that’s worth watching instead of an awkwardly paced cartoon. If you are looking to save time, I’d just start there, but when you watch Journeys, it’s really more enjoyable the more you’ve watched the older series (guest appearances and whatnot)
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.
