I still collect the TCG cards even though I haven't watched the anime past gen 1.
How much catching up do I have to do if I want to understand the lore so far and know the new characters?
I did try watching some of the recent movies but they were horrible compared to the first three. But now that there are waivus like Wicke, Zinnia and Skyla, I want back in.

Zinnia is not canon btw. It's a side universe, ORAS is a side story, the canon Hoenn remains RSE.
And about anime, everything past DP is not canon. No continuity, no canon.
Super fast run down.

Go check the plot of BW2 and XY

I meant to write Anime's canon as well but I've grown tired now. Just know it ends with Suzuran's conference. After that the continuity goes to shit.

He's calling you a secondary.
The anime doesn't follow the games to the letter. The anime also has some issues but it tries tying together between series with some big hiccups.
The games are their own collective stories that vary from region and game. Some games even reference past games.
Also trying to understand lore is faulty in Pokemon.

It only supposedly goes to shit because BW tried doing what the games did of being a soft reboot but they had to set everything back because of BW2. The anime doesn't end at that conference.

Just play the games. Zinnia doesn't even appear in the anime and never will be.

The games are video games, and they're pretty good.
The anime is an anime, and it generally sucks.
there's also a manga which isn't amazing but is a better use of your time than watching the anime, probably play some of the games first though https://jb2448.info

Games are games, anime has some basis from the games but don't follow the games completely but are there to promote the games. Just play the games.
