The 25 seasons follow international divisions. Japanese mainline episodes are counted, excluding four Journeys recaps. The two Victini film versions count once; Mewtwo Evolution duplicates the first film.

Where to continue after the anime

Ash's journey concludes with To Be a Pokémon Master. Pokémon Adventures and the games tell separate versions, rather than continuing his anime chapter by chapter. Pokémon Horizons follows a different cast and can begin a new journey.

Watch order

1. Original series: Kanto → Orange Islands → Johto.
2. Ruby and Sapphire → Diamond and Pearl → Black & White → XY and XYZ → Sun & Moon → Journeys → To Be a Pokémon Master.
3. The first nineteen story films accompany these regional eras; watch them in release order alongside their respective series. The Victini film versions are alternatives.
4. Chronicles and the listed specials are optional companions. Watch Mega Evolution during XY before XYZ, and Arceus Chronicles during Journeys.
5. Horizons follows a new cast and is separate from Ash’s mainline journey.
