Unlike most long-running anime, Pokémon doesn’t build a single continuous arc. Each season (or set of seasons) resets Ash’s team, introduces new travel companions, and reboots the power scale. This is both its greatest flaw and its secret weapon. For a new viewer, you can start at Pokémon: The Series – Sun & Moon or Pokémon Journeys without watching the 1997 original. However, for invested fans, watching Ash slowly mature—from a reckless, stubborn rookie to a tactical, empathetic champion—requires the full marathon.
The Premise: Spanning over 25 years and 1,200+ episodes, Pokémon All Seasons (referring to the original Japanese Pocket Monsters anime, dubbed into English across 25+ seasons) chronicles the journey of Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town as he aspires to become a Pokémon Master. Alongside his loyal Pikachu and a rotating cast of human and Pokémon companions, he travels through every mainline game region: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, and finally Galar. pokemon all seasons
