| I know Pokemon doesn't really have any real plot or connections but I'm tempted to start watching the Pokemon anime again and want to know if this would be a good one to start on? I watched the first few episodes of the first anime and put it on hold (plan to go back to it soon) but I 100% prefer watching anime while it airs ;3; I'm really paranoid about jumping in late so just want to know if I'd get lost. |
| That one will start in November. Since Satoshi tends to reset his team, he would have new ones in his team that would replace his Kalos Team. Right now, the XY&Z is in the middle of the Team Flare arc that is going to end very soon. |
| Well Pokemon is a series where you don't have to watch it from the very 1st episode. You can start watching it from every start of a new season. |

| I reccomend beginning from XY, it's the turning point of the pokémon series. |

| Xy would be the most easiest to start and catch up on. The only ??? you might get is Ash knowing Pansy, Sister of Viola the first Kalos gymleader. Origins would also be a good start if yer familiar with the games lore. The movies are kinda standalone except for the first one and even that one wasnt built up that much in the OG anime. Anyway, yeah you can probably just jump in without much problems. |

| Almost every movie is canon, but they don't add much to the anime series. Several openings and few events might reference the movies, but it's not necessary to know them. |
I recommend you to start watching diamond & pearl and work your self up to xyz. Lots of people skipped best wishes because they "didn't like it" but u really shouldn't skip best wishes, Especially if ur a beginner. If you want all subs then just start at best wishes and wait for all sub to be updated for dp or start on the later stages of it. |
| gogo mokahless said: You have a source on this? The last 3 episodes have yet to be aired so I'm not sure how you can say for sure. Although, I said this before watching the most recent episode which involved . That, along with the episode title of the last episode in XY&Z announced as "Starting from Zero! Citron's Decision!!" seems to hint heavily at at least Citron not continuing on with Satoshi. I see no hints regarding Serena. Although she has that offer of the table of [spoilers]training with that old lady[/spoilers], I would at least expect an episode dedicated to her decision to take the offer, of which no future episode titles hint at, so far. Although part of my remaining suspicion is based on my assumption that the "starting from zero" portion of the final title is referring to Citron, which may be incorrect. Although twice in a row Ash's companion has changed to the female counterpart from the games, this didn't happen for Red/Blue, Gold/Silver or Black/White. The most notable being Misty, who didn't change at all for Gold/Silver release. I guess we'll find out Oct. 5th. Or within a week thereof. Unless no one subs them except PM subs. In which case, we'll find out probably late December/ early January. gogoanime releases raw episodes that are always 3+ episodes ahead, depending what subbers ur comparing it to tho. Im rewatching so im not up to date so i guess i cant say anything either. |
| The problem with watching pokemon as it airs in Japan is that you have to still go old school and wait for fan subs. Generally what happens is the day after an episode airs the raw is on youtube, then a shitty fansub from some dude who doesn't speak English or Japanese with any skill, then a few weeks to a month the Pocket Monster Group puts out the good fan subs, it can be a struggle avoiding spoilers as I found out last month -_-. But if you can put up with the wait it's worth it. The only thing is I can't recommend the Dub, no offense to the VA's, they aren't the issue, they just change the music to be very dull by comparison to the Sub version. |

Sinnoh was "THE" best in the Pokemon serie according to me and tons of other people, it's atleast considerd the 2nd best after XYZ. The serie for once didn't focus on just Ash as Dawn and Ash both were to protagonist of the DP series. The music was great as always and we had the best rival since Gary oak. The Infernape arc was amazing and so was the sinnoh league (except for the semi final) |

To say Sinnoh is terrible while it's one of the most loved pokémon series and not reccomending it to someone else who may enjoy it is a very selfish thing to say. |

| All seasons have their ups and downs except for season 5 that season is just bad. Imo: S3>S1/S2/S4/S6>S5 And that's just bias from me cause i liked generation 3 as a whole the most. OT you can just start with w/e season you want, there isen't changed much over the years, Mega evolution is somthing they added but watching the special shorts about them is more then enough. |

The Infernape arc was amazing and so was the sinnoh league (except for the semi final) Though all those points also made it quite dull at certain points ironically. The starting episodes with Paul were frustrating, Dawn didn't find her groove fast enough and Infernape became the spotlight stealing mon. Heck, Torterra had to job constantly to make Infernape look good. Infernape took the spotlight in everything, from the later part of the gym battles to the 2 six on six battles against Paul. And that stretch from Snowpoint and Sunnyshore, 50 episodes of no gym battles. Shinnoh's strong points are also what dragged it down for a few people. Still, it was a great regiin overall. |

| As a fan of the games and someone who was 10 when it first aired in English, I couldn't stay into the series past the third or so season. Basically once they lost Misty you could tell they lost some other things as well, like meaningful content that hadn't been repeated time and time again. At the very least this new art direction is fresh, something it's clearly been lacking for a while now. There's no telling how bad the English dub will screw it up, so I recommend starting with this season and sticking with the Japanese dub just in case. That said, I highly recommend watching the first season to completion. It's definitely worth it and if you haven't played the games it'll introduce you to the world and to Ash (Satoshi). The English dub is fine on this one, though you'll have to bear with things like them eating donuts aka rice balls. There's also a couple of episodes that never aired here in America (even more than didn't air in other countries), which you may want to check out. The further on you go, the less worth it it becomes to watch each season. Season 2 is fairly decent and 3 is somewhat less so. It's too early to tell if Sun & Moon will transform the rest of the series, but it's looking really good right now just based on the first two episodes. It's unclear how serious it'll be, but I think they could pull off a good serious episode or two if they tried, like Bye Bye Pikachu. |
