Pokemon: The Origin

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 - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/18314

Part 2 - BW to XY series

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!

Nintendo video games that got a anime adaptation

All Pokemon anime so far (December 2022)

Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/41913
Part 4: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/45710

These are all exceptional, unique, and interesting to all fantasy anime watchers.

I included only my top 10 fantasy Isekai, since I already made an Isekai-only stack.

I highly recommend you watch all other seasons/movies from the series listed.

They are arranged in order from my personal favourites.

Extra notes:
* Yugioh season 0 is very underrated and is not just about the card game 'Duel Monsters'.
* Berserk movies are the best adaptation of the manga.
* Both old and new Hunter x Hunter are amazing, and each has a different style/tone.
* Claymore is a great dark fantasy show similar to Berserk.

Une courte sélection d'animés disposant d'une très bonne VF qui n'a pas à rougir face à la version originale.

A short selection of animes which possess a really good french dub that doesn't have to blush in front of the original one.

PS : Cette liste est bien évidemment subjective, certaines personnes seront sûrement en désaccord mais j'ai essayé d'être le moins clivant possible en choisissant d'inclure des VF dont la qualité est souvent mentionnée sur internet parmi la communauté des fans d'animés.

PS : This list is obviously subjective, some will surely disagree with it but I tried to be as less divisive as possible by choosing to include french dubs whose quality is often mentionned on internet among the french community of anime fans.
