Tips for watching all of the pokemon anime? I considered watching it while catching up on all the games. Right now I am 3/4th the way through Pokemon Platinum. Is watching Pokemon anime a waste of time? Will it drive me insane to try to watch it all, even passively in the background, since its for children?

Just start with episode 1 and decide for yourself. Why do you need internet strangers to justify how you spend your time?

Look up the guide in the OP of /padt/, judge it for yourself.

Currently on the Horizons grindset and enjoying it. It's mainly depending on what you want from the episodes. And avoid anything that might give you an aneurysm.

The only animated media worth it are the Generation shorts and BW2 trailer. A window into what could've been if they decided to make the anime series more shonenistic.

>Tips for watching all of the pokemon anime?
Kanto and Orange Islands is enough. Beyond that, follow a filler guide. /padt/ OP has one.
>Is watching Pokemon anime a waste of time?
Mostly. If you're talking about all Pokémon animation, the many miniseries and specials not tied to the TV series are much better. Generations and Evolutions are recommended.
>Will it drive me insane to try to watch it all, even passively in the background, since its for children?
YES. Even for children's anime it's gets banal the longer it goes on.

The Ashnime is for watching random disconnected skits once a week
Trying to watch it all in one go as a series will make you go insane

As a non genwunner (bort) the indigo league is one of my favorite parts of the franchise. It almost singlehandedly carries gen 1 from being a bottom 3 gen, to possibly a top 3. The Entei and Lati movies are pretty good, but I tried watching other gens, and they were pretty darn close to garbage. I absolutely love the Unova games, but that anime series brings down the generation a lot. Gen 6 was pretty bad too so was 8. I couldn't get into Gen 9 non-Ash one, but it at least captured my attention for longer. Similar thing to the Gen 7 anime, which I can at least appreciate for trying something different.

I started rewatching it in my thirties. Honestly, I feel like it is better the second time around. That being said, in the fifth season, Team Rocket would make two or more appearances in nearly every episode. That got a bit stale.

The only season worth watching is SM. The animation style got way better.

Unless you have literally nothing to do with your life and are really bored, you'll probably abandon ship on that plan within a few dozen episodes at most from realizing how insane an idea that is (I attempted this when I was 12 btw). That being said, I remember DP having a few genuine kino moments as a child.

Yep, they're called harmony cels, credited to Osamu Dezaki. Although he called them "postcard memories". The framing and style is taken from storybooks, but Dezaki made it part of the anime lexicon.

Not OP but how do people go about finding the best release of cel-era stuff like Pokémon’s earlier seasons? My time spent in the Dragon Ball community has taught me that there’s a lot of potential release fuckery like off-color tones/tints, film grain removal, etc. that goes beyond the typical ripping and encoding stuff

I watch a few episodes every night sometimes more. I'm already in XY. It's not hard unless you are an ADHD zoomoid. And yes the show is worth watching, although its inconsistent as most episodic things. I heard sakugafags saying SM is top tier anime
>>58744624
They're called dezaki frames. Literally never saw anyone say "harmony cel"

>>58744951
Uh you dont really have a choice with pokemon since the only subbed version uses less than ideal video quality

There's a handful of weirdos collecting the best sources working on improved releases. It's a slow burn.

>>58744967
It's rare to see them called dezaki. Is that a regional thing, or something from the usenet days? In Japan they're usually called 止め絵 (stop picture), but harmony cell is more common in English. Postcard memory has caught on more in recent years, but harmony cell has been frequently used since at least the mid aughts.

Skip all of TrAsh's boring toy commercials for toddlers and start with the real anime.
