I've watched most of the Pokémon anime, but I still believe the stretch that started with Ash getting the 3 Kanto starters and ended with Charmeleon's evolution has the best episodes in the entire anime. Each one had a different experience, wasn't over reliant on the typical character of the week trope of most fillers and was overall really fun. I do think they dropped the ball after that, though, and the second half of Indigo Saga feels like a slog with no new captures for Ash and mostly bad filler
