Pokémon Generations strips away the anime's procedural filler and actually tells you why these characters matter. Each region gets the story the games only hinted at, the trainer's real choice, the rival's broken dream, the gym leader's conviction. It costs nothing and asks for five minutes, then reminds you why you caught your first Pokémon in the first place.

Pokémon Generations returns to the worlds that defined the franchise, looking back at every generation of the Pokémon video games. Its short episodes, each only a few minutes long, travel from the early days in Kanto through to Kalos, revisiting familiar moments from the games in greater depth and offering a closer look at their characters and Pokémon. Released as an ONA, the collection mixes action, comedy and fantasy.
