XY's a good enough place to start. It's the last series to use the 'classic' art style, and the fights are generally solid. Plus, it's self-contained enough that you won't feel lost, even if you haven't watched the show in years.

There's no truly great starting point since all the series start at the end of the previous ones.
BW, SM and Journeys are the only ones that don't do this, but they all end up having references to the old seasons later anyway.

Honestly I'd give the original series a try, you might be surprised by how well it holds up.

If you can handle how the writing are all over the place, sure.
But if you just want some relaxing bingewatch you can start the original series and SM.

yes, XY and XYZ, by far are the best pokemon anime with "standard anime art", unlike journey which using simplified "cost cutting" art

I already watched the original series, most of Hoenn and Sinnoh back in the days. Never watched Johto though

SM is fun. It may look bad but it was the most enjoyable for me.
Journeys saldy is mostly trash all the way

SM is bad. It's dull, uneventfull. You really should watch XY instead.

XY is kino and is the best the anime has ever been, so you should watch it. Watch it subbed for the music.

SM and Journeys are unwatchable garbage but Journeys might be worth watching the fanservice episodes if you care.

Yes. The Dub is excellent and will invoke tons of nostalgia.

I genuinely liked comedy-adventure vibe of SM over XY. It still had nice fighting moments but also was just FUN to watch when there was less action. Also it was sprinkled with various references and nods to various classic Japanese shows.
It's an acquired taste but personally I loved it more than XY or Journeys.

SM has its own merits, but XY is fantastic. Be sure to watch it subbed.

SM is the only decent series aside the first one honestly. The cast is the best pokemon ever had by a long margin. And no amount of mentally ill shipperfags can refute this.

I hadn't watched the anime since Johto and returned with SM. It was incredibly fun and emotional. If you're okay with the artstyle and the comedic tone, watch it right away. It is genuinely beautiful, it can be surprisingly dark at moments and straight up gut wrenching as well. I think SM is probably the best series of the anime besides the OS as a standalone anime and not just a 20 minute pokemon commercial. XY is also great, but I personally prefer SM. I really don't like Journeys though. It is such a giant mixed bad that tries to appeal to everyone and has no identity or direction

>The first one
KEK, the first one is only good at hospitalizing children
Horrible writing, boring characters, horrible animation, battles didn’t even involve the trainer commanding the pokemon.

You would love SM instead. Some oldfags really likes it especially with TRio and certain companions returns
But i'm not stopping you watching XY. It has my favorite moments and favorite pokemon characters personalities but the writing are kinda not good for adult's taste. Watch ojamajo doremi for cute kodomomuke that can be enjoyed by adults

Kanto and DP are the only ones worth watching. Movies should include M1, M3, and the DP trilogy. Maybe toss in the Lucario movie too.

Once you have watched the OS then you have pretty much seen everything.
