[AEGC] Pokemon Guide watch order - Part 1
Anime
A comprehensive watch order of the Pokemon series, which includes every entry of the Pokemon franchise.
Original Guide: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1875815
AEGC Interest Stack index: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2017008
Part 1 - Original Series to DP series
Part 2 - BW to XY - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/19044
Part 3 - SM and on
Release Order
The following order of the interest stack.
Chronological Order
Since the Pokemon anime is so large and big franchise, do refer the original guide link above to see this.
BUT
Since every entry in the interest stack is numbered by the release date where to watch (mostly movies, spin-off's, specials and such), I will tag the "where to watch" like this:
Chronological - Where it is canon to the main Pokemon series
Release - Where it isn't canon to the main Pokemon series and not must watch in the specific episode number
I did it so it will be easier to just realize the most canon order by the interest stack.
Enjoy!
