Since Pokemon seasons are based on the games and with every generation the plot somehow resets even though it continues in a linear story doesn't that basically make it a neverending series such like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Digimon. As long as there are new games and merchandise coming out the episodes will keep continuing on forever.

Yes although One Piece is huge and it's the best selling manga of all time it still has an ending to the main story on the horizon since it's based on the manga of whenever they reach Raftel and obtain One Piece.

Pokemon isn't an anime, it's a franchise of anime. It's pointless to compare a franchise of series with series that have only one production team like Conan, Sazae or One Piece. Gundam as a franchise has a ton of episodes too if you go there. Precure too, etc.

Well i never heard of it before and i watch all of the mainstream animes/ read their mangas i found about it now because i was searching for the biggest animes in episode number. Pokemon is the biggest with a big difference so far

According to this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anime_series_by_episode_count
even if you put together all pokemon series, there are 13 anime with more episodes

Also if we put stuff together then Doraemon destroys Pokemon on episode count

Yea i discovered that just now, but almost all of these don't look like animes at all, they look like poor made cartoons of the late 20th century
animes is not just a animation style , its a way of life
they might not look like anime but they are anime in soul

Doraemon (1978) has 1787 episodes making it longest running anime that anyone gives a shit about (Sazae-san is over 7k episodes, but that's not even subbed).

She has a point tho..
In about 20 years or so One Piece would've created their own corporate government looking to take over the whole of the ricefields & the north pacific..

But it (Sazae san) still manage to garner a lot of viewer and had a stable rating even after all these time, not subbed = no one gives a shit, is some faulty logic there.

Popular in the West =/= popular in Japan/nearby countries.

Pokemon may popular but the anime is trash and hardly anyone outside Japan watch the newer seasons.

The biggest anime is probably One Piece. Dragon Ball is dead, pretend Super never happens.

I meant that anyone here gives a shit about. It's not something you can sit down and watch because a lot of the episodes were deliberately lost. Manga Nippon Mukashibanashi (1976) is popular in Japan, otherwise it wouldn't be able to run 1471 episodes and therefore amass more watch time than Doraemon or Pokemon, but it's only available raw as a Japanese import (still better than Sazae-san or the original Doraemon, but it isn't translated).

Conan unpopular is a strange thing to hear, it's a part of the very fabric of East Asian culture in some ways

Probably everyone aged between 5 and 40 with no exceptions would have heard of it

Pokemon is probably the biggest franchise, yes. Even the sideline stuff are ridiculously successful, like the card games and Mystery Dungeon.

It's insane but it's true.

There are enough shows with more episodes, for instance Sazae-san which has currently 7071 episodes at the moment.

LOL 7332 episodes, but it doesn't even look like an anime at all, more like Popeye cartoon

Anime isn't a drawing style, so... Looks doesn't matter, it's an anime after all

No, Pokemon is the most popular but the anime with the most episodes is Sazae-San, it's been running since 1969 and has over 7,000 episodes.

dragon ball is so popular, many anime series make a reference or two to that series.
i don't quite remember the same for pokemon though.
You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

those sazae-san episode count is not accurate, since they currently has 3 sub episode per once airing time and they should merged if we using MAL guidline. and not fair to lets said doraemon or crayon shin-chan. but still, if you are saying sazae san is not popular, they are still holding highest tv ranking.

It's popular there, but we can't even watch it. There are a lot of episodes that aren't even available raw. Even if we only count the episodes that still exist it would still be the longest anime, but it's hard to put an accurate episode count on it.

Considering episodes XY001-now it is one of the most awesome ones for sure. One can argue about other sagas/series but I'm sure almost no one treats Best Wishes series as cool.
