Is it for me?
Pokémon is a light, silly adventure for a tired evening that needs no homework. Pikachu refuses to go into its Poké Ball, and Ikue Ōtani makes the single word "Pika" carry annoyance, worry and joy. Brock swoons over every girl he meets, and the thieves' schemes come back as running jokes between bright, slapstick battles.
Before you start
Each region is a fresh start with new places and companions, so you can begin at almost any series.
25 seasons, 1220 episodes, 30 min each, about 498 hours so far
