Since I hit episode 40 and miss doing math, here is a list of things that were accomplished 40 episodes into other series:
>AG: Ash just earned his third Gym badge against Wattson, and caught a Tailow, Treeko and Corphish. May had her first Contest, and caught and evolved a Beautifly. Drew had debuted as May's rival. Brock caught a Lotad and a Mudkip. The Team Magma/Aqua arc was off to an auspicious start.
>DP: Ash had earned two badges and caught a Staravia (evolved) and a Turtwig. Dawn had competed in two Contests, winning one, and caught a Bunneary, a Pachirisu and a Buizel. Paul, Zoey, Kenny and Nando had debuted as rivals. Brock's Bonsly evolved, and he hatched a Happiny egg. Cynthia had just debuted, and Pokemon Hunter J made herself known.
>XY: Ash had won two badges, and caught a Froakie, a Flechinder (evolved) and a Hawlucha. Clemont had caught a Dendenne for Bonnie and a Chespin. Serena....Well, to be fair, Miette had at least been introduced as a rival, to what purpose had yet to be established though.
>SM: Ash had defeated two Kahunas, two Totem Pokemon, got three Z-Crystals, and caught a Rowlet, a Litten, and a Lycanroc Duskmane (evolved). Lillie hatched an Alolan Vulpix. Lana got a Z-Crystal and defeated a Totem Wishiwashi. Mallow's Bountsweet evolved. Sophocles caught a Charjabug. Kiawe caught an Alolan Marowak. Gladion had been introduced.
