Specifically - A list of episodes that actually matter, because there are over one thousand episodes in the Pokémon Anime, and most of those are a fat load of nothing. – I’ve been wanting to watch the Anime (like, beyond the first two seasons I’m nostalgic for), but I don’t wanna slog through 740 episodes of nothing for the 260-ish episodes where something (I.E.: A major character appearance, a gym battle, a new pokémon caught, etc) actually happens.

I did a google search and found an “Anime Filler List”, but that one was concerned with marking episodes as ‘manga canon’, which is like… Isn’t the Pokémon manga a completely separate thing? Plus, I intensely doubt all those episodes are actually relevant.

    No no, that sounds about right.

    As a big fan of Digimon, the competitor that never was? The best seasons of the Anime happened when Bandai realised that Digimon as a games franchise was not a fetch that was going to happen and just let the writers do whatever. Whenever Digimon got a bit of attention on its game/toy related properties, the executives would come back to fuck with the stories and the anime would get worse.
