Pokemon, a world brimming with new adventures, creatures, and characters, is one of the most memorable parts of our childhood.
It had characters we could relate to, characters we wanted to be like, and the best comedic villain trio, i.e., Team Rocket.
The series gave us many nostalgia-inducing elements, from guessing which Pokemon was during the advertisement intervals to role-playing and capturing imaginary Pokemon.
At some point in our lives, though, most of us stopped watching Pokemon and moved on to other series that seemed more interesting.
Nonetheless, we sometimes feel like taking a trip down memory lane, and when we do that, a big hurdle seems to block the way.
Pokemon never really stopped airing even after we stopped watching it, and now it is a hurdle of more than 1000 episodes with Ash still being a 10-year-old kid.
Do you disagree? Do you have other theories? Well, great.

3. Conclusion
The chronological sequence is the best watch order. However, it is also possible to view it in release order.
Season 24 has released 33 episodes so far, and the following episode, 34, “Mawhip’s Sweet Battle!?,” is scheduled to be released on October 8, 2021.
The latest movie in this franchise, ‘Pokemon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle,’ is set to release on October 8, 2021, worldwide on Netflix.
The live-action movie can be seen as a stand-alone movie as it is loosely based on a video game of the same name.
Even though it is canon in general since the Pokemon characters are based on the anime, you can still watch it after completing every other installment of the Pokemon franchise.
Pikachu Shorts (Special) acts as a prologue to all of the Pokemon animated films, so it can be watched at any time without fear of spoiling the main plot.
Also, the ONAs and the other specials can be watched in any order.READ: Pokemon The Movie: Secrets of The Jungle to Join Netflix this October
