Pokémon Generations
Unlike the Pokémon anime you’re likely familiar with, Pokémon Generations adapts stories and characters from the games into five-minute self-contained episodes. While you won’t find Ash or Gary in this series, their game counterparts, Red and Blue, are present alongside a number of recognizable characters from across the Pokémon franchise. The stories hop between regions, with some taking place in Kanto, and others taking place in Unova or Johto. Everything up to and including Kalos from Pokémon X and Y is represented, from Team Rocket’s criminal activities in Kanto to Deoxys’s arrival in Hoenn.
Seeing the world of Pokémon from different angles is something all fans of the franchise should experience, especially if the lore of the games is what peaks your interest. Pokémon Generations is essentially a Pokémon fan’s dream come true, and its shorter episodes make it easy to marathon on Pokémon’s official YouTube channel.
