Watch whatever youre nostalgic for

>>58891562
You're a asking a loaded question. Everyone have their preferences so, it's going to be hard to choose. Even Gen 7 and 8 anime is COMPLETELY different from the old one. Gen 9 got rid of Ash and we have a new protag, Liko. Sorry, man. Can't help you much from there.

>>58891562
If you are anywhere over the age of 13, there's absolutely no merit in watching any season of the Pokemon anime. Watch the one from your childhood for nostalgia purposes.

Watch the Alola anime. It's the only one where he wins the Pokemon league.

Which anime has girls with cute feet

>>58891795
Everything before advance is good for nostalgia reasons. Everything between it and Sun and Moon is dogshit.

t. been watching the everything inbetween cause kids

>>58891562
You stopped watching for a reason.

>>58891562
> OS series : The root and this is when you should start.
> DP series : This was the peak.
> SM series : Ash wins his first league.
> JN series : Ash become world champion

These are the only relevant series.

> But XY.......
You mean the series that removed all Ash's character trait and turned him into generic cardboard who is only written to be a jobber to make Alain look good? Only people with bad taste that think Solo Levelling is the best anime and Jin-woo is the best MC thinks XY&Z to be good.

>>58891800
It is. To see your favorite mons in action.

Alola is best season IMO, But DP era was great as well and is my fav Ash era.

>>58892349
>To see your favorite mons in action.
According to >>58892318 its about Ash's journey though

Sinnoh is a cool region

>>58891562
The first season, then nothing else

>>58892899
This isn't 1998

>>58891562
Don't bother, it's not worth your time. I went and re-watched the first season in the original Japanese and it was awful.

>>58891562

>>58892284
Jfl and I thought I was the only one nostalgia-diving and going back to retro stuff since everything nowadays is so boring and pathetic
Also, I think chinkhelds are being sold like hotcakes is because of people flipping off modern shit like me.
(Or buying an Intel Arc graphics)

>>58892284
>and Sun and Moon
Wait, do you think journeys is not shit? why?

>>58893901
If your taste is abhorrent enough to like shart and moon you might as well enjoy j*rneys

>>58891562
None of them, just read pokespe.

>>58891562
Don't. You stopped watching for a reason. It's boring kiddie slop that was written to artificially go on forever. Nothing interesting ever happens, Ash never grows or changes as a person/character.
Only the first two seasons are worth watching and even those are obviously still largely a mindless Chinese cartoon for 9 year olds.

>>58893832
There was plenty of garbage made back then too, it has simply been filtered by the passage of time. Also, chinkhelds sell because the alternatives are overpriced and underfeatured- Nintendo expects you to pay more for less.

OG to the end of DP is pretty comfy, not to say there arent a lot of filler or average episodes but overall enjoyable
BW massive downgrade
XY schizophrenic with a disappointing end
I have not watched later seasons

>>58892782
It is indeed

I've heard XY is the best season.

>>58894968
Within ashfags, so that means nothing.

>>58891562
Just watch Horizons.
Ash is shit and was never a good protagonist, only retarded brown Ashfags defend their gay faggot hero and his shit show

>>58891562
Who cares, Ash is a dogshit character who never turns into an interesting character

Why does so many people hate Ash when he's the reason why Pokemon became so popular worldwide.

>>58895152
Pikachu is the reason its popular not Ash, hence why he was disposable

We explained multiple times but when we do you just post a list of long running anime.

>>58895163
You're focusing too much on the Pokemon, the anime was made so people could relate with human characters, like Ash and his friends. That's why Ash always stayed but his friends changed with each era.

OS is the only series that matters, build a great cultural influence and became iconic. When people think of the Pokémon Anime, they think of OS with its classic 90s nostalgia and 4kids dub. Everything else is very skippable children's cartoon where at least 600 of those episodes play exactly the same way.

>>58895270
Thanks for the link.

You're actually delusional and lost touch with reality. Literally no one outside of your bubble cares about Ash or the anime. The games and the merchandise are the reason Pokémon got popular, because people like the desighs. The human characters are extremely irrelevant. It's all about the cute monsters.

>>58895310
>children's cartoon where at least 600 of those episodes play exactly the same way.
Like the OS

>>58895670
This, the monsters are the ones who fight not the boring humanshit

>>58895713
Then why do you goon to female characters then?

What does this even mean

>>58896232
Coomers exists

>>58896388
So?

This isn't totally true. Back in the late 90s, television was the best advertisement there was. Pokémon's brand image in the west was heavily based on people's perception of the anime. The anime didn't cost money to watch. It had catchy songs filled with marketing slogans and memorizing Pokémon names. It aired regularly and had a marketing blowout. People thought of Ash as the main character of Pokémon. Ash and Pikachu were the faces of Pokémania, that's why Pokémon on Ice was based on the anime rather than any games.

To put it in perspective, the Game Boy sold more than half its lifetime sales in the last 5 years of its life, not the first, and that's because of Pokémon's anime being such an effective advertisement for the games, cards, and every piece of merchandise. Even kids who already had a Game Boy and could already play Gen I and II asked their parents for a Game Boy Color, Pokémon brought the Game Boy back to life 7 years into its lifespan.

The problem became two-fold over time though: Ash as a character seemed to lack the fundamental progress people craved and felt they were promised as he went on seemingly forever while changing out everything you recognized about him every few years, and TV as a medium fell off a cliff as the 00s and especially 10s progressed. The Pokémon anime stopped being an effective advertisement in a terminally-online world. Covid killed the yearly July movie, and nothing of value was lost. All in all, it's probably much healthier for the franchise to not be bound to the anime, which always had a different worldview to the games. But back then, sticking to an established formula that works (especially when you're Japanese) just seemed like the logical choice. Milk it until it's bone dry. People weren't sad because the anime finally completed its story after decades of build-up, they were sad simply because a staple character of their childhood stopped being around, like if The Simpsons ended.

Horizons because ash anime is the same episode over and over again for 26 years.

>>58896692
What makes Horizons different besides not having Ash as a protagonist?

>>58896692
Yeah but why have a foid MC, is it DEI enforced BS or are foids the new target audience for Pokemon?
So gay anyways...

>>58896835
An actual concept behind the show that the show actually follows.

>>58896626
The anime used to be the main part of the series in the US. The games were treated as a companion to the show instead of the other way around.

A slow-paced RPG with poor graphics and primitive sound design was all but guaranteed to fail in 1998. The anime gave kids a reason to become interested in the Pokemon world and its characters. Without the anime, it's plausible Pokemon would have remained a niche, Japan-only franchise.
Now that Pokemon is well-established and the games are colorful and engaging for children, the anime could never be anything besides additional entertainment for fans of the games.

Girls mean more art and more lewds. It's a win/win situation.

You really think they make female protags for females?

>>58897202
Who's Liko?

>>58897208
Lol it's the anti-ashnime schizo he always uses the same buzzwords and retarded arguments like (humans are...le bad!) Even though they are a crucial part of the series. Honestly makes me wonder if he is a mystery dungeon fag or a furry.

>>58897224
I'm a furry and I don't hate Ash. I literally grew up with him.

>>58897208
>one anti-ash schizo samefagging
This one is pretty likely

Don't go past the 1st season
